Chandler: Wait! You’re going out with Kathy!
Joey: Yeah. Why are you getting so upset?
Chandler: Well, I’m upset—for you. I mean, having sex with an endless line of beautiful women must be very unfulfilling for you. (He can’t believe he just sad that.)
Joey: What is the big deal? It’s not like we’re exclusive.
Chandler: Look, Joey, Kathy is clearly not fulfilling your emotional needs. But Casey, I mean granted I only saw the back of her head, but I got this sense that she’s-she’s smart, and funny, and gets you.
Joey: You got all that from the back of her head?
Chandler: All right look, I think it’s time for you to settle down. Y’know? Make a choice, pick a lane.
Joey: Who’s Elaine?
