- Quotes
[Ross has just convinced Rachel to make a list about his negative traits]
Rachel Green: Okay. You're whiny. You are... you're obsessive. You are insecure. You're gutless. You don't just seize the day. You liked me for, what, a year and you didn't do anything about it. And, uh... oh, you wear too much of that gel in your hair.
Dr. Ross Geller: See? There... you, uh... alright. You did what I said.
Rachel Green: Yeah, and you know what? You're right. I do feel better. Thank you, Ross.

My thoughts on The One With Phoebes Dad
So, the past 3 episodes have been mostly centered on Ross and Rachel's relationship. This one starts out with the gang at Rachel and Monica's place, which includes Ross and Rachel talking to each other freely with out any unhappy emotion. The next scene takes place at the coffee shop and as soon as Ross walks in Rachel turns sour and refuses to talk to him. But weren't they just talking to each other the scene before and she wasn't mad at all but now at the first sight she hates him. I can't help but wonder if there was a writing error or maybe an editing problem. Then the whole episode centers on Ross and Rachel and turns the title of the episode into a subplot. Pheobe isn't my favorite character in the show (probably my least favorite), but I was really interested in her story. But her story felt... sidelined, by the Ross and Rachel flip-flop story line. These past 2 episodes have felt the same because of the same annoying plot line. So, I give this episode a C+, based on the fact that I liked Pheobe's story-line, but the uninteresting, cliché main plot is getting old (trust me, I know the whole series is full of it). Thanks for reading!
