Monica : Do you wanna come in for some lemonade?
Joey : Like you wouldn’t believe. (they go into the apartment) Wow! This is a great place.
Monica : Thank you. Just make yourself comfortable.
Joey : Gotcha (gives her a wink and a knowing look).
Monica : This place is really my Grandmother’s.

Joey : Oh, you bet I am!
Monica : (turning around) Okay, here’s your penis!
