Ross: Oh, really? Well, I guess Monica should know about Atlantic City.
Chandler: Du-ude!

Ross: ...and this girl is making eyes at Chandler, okay? So after a while he just goes over to her and, uh, after a 분 또는 two, I see them kissing. Now, I know what you're thinking. Chandler's not the type of guy who just goes to bars and makes out with girls. And you're right. Chandler's not the type of guy just goes to bars and makes out with girls.
Monica: 당신 kissed a guy?...
