Quotes 

• Rachel : [talking to another man]  And so then I realized all this stuff that I had been doing: proposing to Joshua, lying to Ross about why I couldn't come to the wedding was all just a way...

  [Rachel is cut off by the Gentleman] 

  The Gentleman on the Plane : Oh, oh, oh. I'm sorry, can I interrupt? You know, I just want to say that you are a horrible, horrible person.

  Rachel : Pardon me?

  The Gentleman on the Plane : Well, you say you love this man, and yet you're about to ruin the happiest day of his life. I'm afraid I have to agree with your friend 'Phebes'. This a terrible, terrible plan.

  Rachel : But he has to know how I feel.

  The Gentleman on the Plane : But why? He loves this... this Emily person. No good can come of this.

  Rachel : Well, I think you're wrong.

  The Gentleman on the Plane : [sarcastically]  Oh no!

  Rachel : Well, he doesn't really love her, it's just a rebound thing from me. You'll see.

  The Gentleman on the Plane : Fortunately, I won't.

  [the gentleman puts on his headphones, then takes them off] 

  The Gentleman on the Plane : And by the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break.

  [Rachal gasps in rage when hearing the annoying phrase that Ross told her so many times before] 

• [Rachel is on a plane to London, next to an English gentleman. She is drumming very annoyingly on a magazine in her lap] 

  The Gentleman on the Plane : Uh... uh... excuse me?

  Rachel : Yeah?

  The Gentleman on the Plane : If you're planning on doing that throughout the entire flight, please tell me now, so that I can take a sedative. Or perhaps slip you one.
