Seven Lines from Friends

Looking at just how fast, and how well, the Friends pilot gave you four of its main characters.

INT CENTRAL PERK — DAY

Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, and Monica seated.

Monica: There’s nothing to tell! He’s just some guy I work with!

Joey: C’mon, you’re going out with the guy! There’s gotta be something wrong with him!

Chandler: All right Joey, be nice. So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece?

Phoebe: Wait, does he eat chalk?

They all stare, bemused.

Phoebe: Just, ’cause, I don’t want her to go through what I went through with Carl- oh!

Monica: Okay, everybody relax. This is not even a date. It’s just two people going out to dinner and- not having sex.

Chandler: Sounds like a date to me.
