Phoebe: I thought you said you read it in high school.
Cashier: Oh no-no, Im fascinated by paleontology. Have you read the new Walter Alvarez book?
Chandler: Yeah, actually. So, you read a file that you liked and you gave the agency the serial number and they contacted us?
Chandler: I wouldn't read too much into it.
Phoebe: Well thats no way to sell newspapers. Why dont you try, "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"
Rachel: I didnt uh, really have time to read this part of the books, but do you think we have time to
RACH: And I'm in it? Then let me read it.
Ross: Yeah, I'm gonna stay and read my book. I just wanna be alone right now.
[Scene: The Subway, Joey sees his poster and he peels off the caption on his poster, revealing more posters underneath. The captions read, as follows:
Rachel: Oh! I would love to read a poem.
MONICA: Ya know what, I think I'm gonna go to my room and read Cosmo, maybe there's something helpful in there. Know what, at least maybe I can learn how to do an at home bikini wax with leftover Cristmas candles.
Monica: I read to you.
Supervisor: So basically this is very easy. You read from the script and try to sell as much toner as you possibly can.
Joey: Ross, did you really read all these baby books?
Rachel: We just uh, we just met at the newsstand. We both grabbed for the last Field & Stream. (Chandlers shocked.) What? I read that.
Chandler: Lie!!! How hard is that?! The checks in the mail! Oh your baby is so cute! I cant wait to read your book Ross!!
Joey: Yeah, its for the kids. To keep the kids off drugs. Its a very important issue in this months Playboy. Im sure you all read about it.
MONICA: Rachel you have to read this book. It's called Be Your Own Windkeeper. It's about how women need to become more empowered.
Ross: You'd better hope not because I just read what you put on your page today.
Rachel: I mean, we are way past the fling thing, I mean, I am feeling things that I've only read about in Danielle Steele books, you know? I mean, when I'm with him, I'm totally, totally...
Phoebe: Yeah, last Saturday. Wow! She was the first black man to fly solo across the Atlantic. (Chandler and Monica look puzzled) Oh, wait a minute, I read the wrong one.
Malcom: These are my night vision goggles. This is the book I pretend to read when I'm watching her in the park. And these are Mad Lips, they're just for fun.
CHAN: OK, look, that is one guy's opinion, alright. Phoebs, read yours.
Rachel: (to Monica): Really? (out loud): Sure, we have scones left! (to Monica): OK, read them to me.
Monica: Okay. I-I can't watch. (Leaves as sits down to read the paper.)
Joey: In my spare time I uh, read to the blind. And Im also a mento for the kids.(The gang shake their heads.) Yknow a mento, a role model. (Chandler bites his fist to keep from talking.)
Chandler: For my last birthday you gave me a hug! (To Rachel) Okay, read the card! Read the card!
Mr. Geller: Don't listen to your mother. You're independent, and you always have been! Even when you were a kid... and you were chubby, and you had no friends, you were just fine! And you would read alone in your room, and your puzzles...
CHAN: Does anyone have one from a different paper? Ross, read yours.
ROSS: I just wanna read something. It's your pro list.
Rachel: What are you talking about, Ross, you just said that you read it twice! Look, y'know what, either it does or it doesnt, and if you have to even think about it...
Monica: Have I read it? (pause) No, are you enjoying it?
Ross: Well, I wanted to be thorough. I mean this-this is clearly very, very important to you, to us! And so I wanted to read every word carefully, twice!
Joey: Yeah but I didnt read anything.
Rachel: How often do you read it?
Joey: Havent you ever read the same book over and over again?
EDDIE: I tell ya, I-, I'm gonna go read in my room for a little while.
Rachel: Oh mom, I swear Im not an idiot. Ive read all kinds of books on pregnancy and giving birth, but I-I just didnt think to read the part about what to do when the baby comes. And-and then guess what? The babys coming and I dont know what to do. Oh, can I throw up in my diaper genie?
ROSS: No, no, I mean, ya know, I, I read a book and there was a girl named Emily and I thought, I thought that might be good.
Rachel: Well, I was gonna, but I accidentally read something else.
Phoebe: Yeah! Okayooh, but are you going to have time to read it?
PHOEBE: Oooh, so so so, did you read the book?
Kate: By the way, he dumped me tonight after he read my review.
Joey: Wait a minute. That sounds a little familiar! Did they already do that one? Cause I think I read it!
CHAN: My diary! My diary, that's brilliant. I should have told her it was my diary, she never would have made me read her my diary.
Phoebe: Yeah but why didn't you just say that you didn't read the book?!
(In the apartment below, Mr.Heckles is trying to relax and read his newspaper, but Rachel is helplessly dangling upside-down with her ankle wrapped up in the Christmas lights.)
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Monica and Rachel are about to read another one of Joey's efforts.]
Mr. Zelner: Umm, no. Thanks, but Ill give these to Betty. (Rachel glances at Tag to say, "See?") So I read your evaluation of Tag, or to use his full name, Tag Sweetcheeks Jones. Is something going on with you two?
Erica: Yeah, when I read about you two, I was pretty sure I wanted you, but I just thought we should meet face to face. (to the agency guy). I've made my decision. I choose them.
Frank: They musta read the sonogram wrong. 'Cause they, 'cause they thought it was a boy, but Chandler's a girl! Chandler's a girl!
(They both start to read ahead.)
Phoebe: No! You should've read it yourself!
[Scene: Central Perk, Chandler is watching Joey read Little Women, Ross is also there.]
Phoebe: Well how would you know?! You didn't even read it!
(Phoebe enters, walks to the couch, sits down, and begins to read a letter without saying hi.)
Carol: (noticing a kid who has picked up a copy of Variety to read) Hey, that kid looks familiar.
Chandler: Oh, is it on the computer, cuz I'd love to give it a read...?
Joey: No wonder Rachel had to read this so many times.
MONICA: So, I read this article in the paper the other day that says you're not supposed to throw rice at weddings, because when pigeons eat rice it kills them.
Mackenzie: I read a lot.
(They spilt into their sexes and the girls read Monicas and the guys read Chandlers. The girls gasp and groan and the guys laugh hysterically.
(Ross and Chandler start to read Joey's script aloud.)
Rachel: Oh, I read that in high school.
(She starts walking across the darkened room and hits her head on a wind chime hanging from the ceiling, to stop it from making a noise she grabs it and Shhhs it. She goes into the kitchen and finds Phoebe Sr.s appointment book, to read it she opens the freezer. Just as she starts to read, Phoebe Sr. jumps out from her bedroom with a coat hanger, startling Phoebe.)
Phoebe: You didn't read this one either?!
Joey: Thanks. (Starts to read it.) Well but this one starts now. (Points to one.)
Kim: I didnt read it.
Phoebe: My guy is well read.
Phoebe: Left! (Rachel hands her the napkin in her left hand and they both unfold and read them.) Thank you.
(Rachel kisses him, and goes upstairs. After shes gone, Ross frantically tries to find and read the Does it? part.)
Rachel: (hugging him) So did you read your evaluation yet?
Joey: Yeah, well, that's fine, but the important thing is that I finished it. And uh, I think it's really good, but y'know it'd really help me is if I could hear it. So would you guys read it for me?
Phoebe: Because my psychic is dead! She mustve read the cards wrong!
Monica: Ok, here we go. We need to sort out the tickets as quickly as possible to see if we've won. So does anybody have any ideas how to organize this? (doesn't let them answer) Ok, how about this: we divide them into 6 groups of 40, and the remaining 10 can be read by whoever finishes their pile first.
Ross: (chases her) Oh yeah, yeah? Well uh, when we were going out, I read tons of porno magazines! (Realizes a table of women overheard him.) (To that table.) Sup?
Chandler: Ino! I didn't read the box before I opened it. And you can't return a box after you've opened the box.
Rachel: Okay. Ah, well well just see about that, okay. I will read The Shining, (she tries to take the book away from him but he doesnt want to let it go) and you will read Little Women.
Monica: You read comic books right?
Rachel: Oh, can we read them?
[Scene: Rachel's new job, she's in her new boss's office (Kim's) and with the other assistant (Nancy). Together they're deciding what clothes to buy or something, who knows, let's all watch/read to find out.]
Chandler: I didnt know you read tea leaves.
JOEY: Hey, uh, why don't you read it to her?
Monica: Okay, Im done. Read mine.
(Why was this the trailer? Well, thats because it was an introduction into the special out takes episode that immediately followed the show. The entire out takes episode, Friends: The Stuff Youve Never Seen can be read by following this link.)
Phoebe: Thats nice. I like having things to read in the bathroom.
Waiter: I know! I havent even read them the specials yet!
Joey: (entering) Hey Rach! Hey, you mind if I read my comic books in here?
JOEY: See, this is why I don't date women who read. Uh-oh.
Erica: Yeah, I read some great applications, but then I thought “who better then a minister to raise a child!”
Rachel: Mrs. Bing, I have to tell you, I've read everything you've ever written. No, I mean it! I mean, when I read Euphoria at Midnight, all I wanted to do was become a writer.
Ross: I know, I know! When I was here for Holidays on Ice (Joey looks around worried hoping no one heard that) I was sitting so far away Michelle Kwan couldn't read my banner!
Monica: Uh, so anyway, we thought one of you could read something during the ceremony.
RACHEL: Mom, would you relax. That was 10 blocks from here and, the, the woman was walking alone at night, I would never do that. Mom, c'mon, stop worrying. This is a safe street, this is a safe building, there's nothing [a pigeon flies in the window and lands on the table] OH MY GOOOD, oh my God, oh I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. [hangs up] OK, that's fine, you just read the paper, I'm gonna get a pot, it's not for you. [grabs a pot and lid] OK, that's fine, read the Family Circus, enjoy the gentle comedy. [puts pot over the pigeon] Aaahh, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, aaaaahh. [knock at the door] It's open you guys.
Chandler: There's this thing I really want us to do. I read about it in Maxim...
Joey: Thats help spelled backwards so that the helicopters can read it from the air!
Julio: Flowers of Evil, by Beaudalire. Have you read it?
Monica: Yeah, well I dont think it really counts if you have to read them off the back of your hand after you fall asleep on the couch.
Joey: Now-now, listen this is just a first draft so (Starts to read the piece of paper he brought.) "We are gathered here today on this joyous occasion to celebrate the special love that Monica and Chandler share." (Monica and Chandler like it so far.) Eh? (He continues reading.) "It is a love based on giving and receiving. As well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving." (Phoebe nods her approval.) "We too can share and love and have and receive."
Chandler: I believe I read that somewhere!
