Customer : I- i- it’s almost … dead!
Phoebe : Okay, but that’s why you have to buy it – so that it can fulfill its Christmas destiny. Otherwise, they’re gonna throw it into the chipper, tell ‘em Joey.
Joey : Yeah, the, uh, trees that don’t fulfill their Christmas destiny, heh, are thrown in the chipper.
Customer : I think I’m gonna look around a little bit more.
Joey : Pheebs (chuckles) ya gotta stop doing this, I‘m working on commission here!
