Phoebe : [to Monica, mocking Rachel's friends] Look, look... I have elbows!
[they both scream and wave their hands]

[first lines]
Monica Geller : [playing game] Phoebe?
Phoebe : Okay, okay. If I was omnipotent for a day, I'd want, uh, world peace, no more hunger, good things for the rain forest. And bigger boobs!
Ross : Oh. So you took mine! Chandler, how about you?
Chandler : Uh, if I was omnipotent for a day, I'd make myself omnipotent forever.
Rachel : [smirks] See? There's always one guy. "If I had a wish, I'd wish for three more wishes."

Monica Geller : [Phoebe's asleep, right there on the couch, in the middle of the day, between her friends] How does she do that?
Dr. Ross Geller : I *cannot* sleep in a public place.
Monica Geller : Look at her, she's so... *peaceful.*
Phoebe : [wakes up with a start] Ugh!
[they all jump]
Phoebe : What? What? What?
Dr. Ross Geller : It's okay. You just nodded off again.
Monica Geller : What's wrong with you?
Phoebe : I got no sleep last night.
Dr. Ross Geller : Why?
Phoebe : My grandmother has this new boyfriend. And they're both very insecure in bed. So... And deaf! And they're constantly, like, having to reassure each other that they're having a good time. You have no idea how loud they are.

Rachel : [joyously waving envelope about] Look, look, look, look, my first paycheck! Look, there's a window, and there's my name! Hi, me!
Phoebe : I remember the day that I got my first paycheck. There was a cave-in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed.
Monica Geller : What? You worked in a mine?
Phoebe : I worked in a Dairy Queen. Why?
Rachel : [opening her envelope] Now isn't this exciting? I *earned* this! I wiped tables for it, and it's totally...
[sees the amount on the check]
Rachel : not worth it. What's FICA? Why are they getting all my money? Chandler, look at that!
Chandler : Oh, this is not that bad.
Joey Tribbiani : You're fine, yeah, for a first job...
Dr. Ross Geller : You can totally, totally live on this.
Phoebe : Oh, yeah. Yeah!
Dr. Ross Geller : Hey, by the way, *great* service!
[everybody agrees and chips in with a tip for their poor destitute friend]

Monica Geller : Phoebe, do you have a plan?
Phoebe : I don't even have a plot.
