When everyone learns of this dalliance, Ross says, \u201cOkay, look, I-I know what you guys are going to say\u2026\u201d To which Phoebe replies, \u201cYou two will have very hairy children.\u201d This is the only episode that Janice appears in where she does not nasally utter her classic line \u201cOh! My! God!\u201d. But Chandler does utter that line (mimicking Janice\u2019s nasal whine) when he learns that Ross slept with her. Janice replies to him, \u201cDon&#8217;t you worry, Chandler Bing. I can handle lots of Jewish boys but you\u2019re still the only goy for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"v2 ps7 s8 c7\">\n<p class=\"p3 f10\">B.<span class=\"f8\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f9\">The One With All the Rugby<\/span><span class=\"f8\">, where Chandler wants to break up with Janice, but he can\u2019t tell her. So he says that he\u2019s being forced to move to Israel for work, leading her to go with him to the airport to see him off. Chandler approaches the airline counter and says quietly \u201cI need one fake ticket to Israel.\u201d Not understanding, the clerk tries to sell him a real ticket, leading Chandler to reply, \u201cWhat would you give to a kid if he wanted a ticket to play with?\u201d Ultimately Chandler purchased a $2100 ticket and boarded the plane as Janice says she\u2019ll write him at the address he gave her, \u201c15 Israel Road, Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f11\">C.<span class=\"f8\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f9\">The One Where the Stripper Cries<\/span><span class=\"f8\">, featuring Danny DeVito as a stripper at Phoebe\u2019s bachelorette party. In another scene Chandler and Ross go to a college reunion. Ross speaks with Missy Goldberg and he tells her that \u201cHe [Chandler] and I both really liked you a lot, but we didn\u2019t want anything to jeopardize our friendship\u2013so we kinda made a pact that neither of us could ask you out.\u201d Missy looked surprised, saying that \u201cChandler and I used to make out. A lot!\u201d She then says, \u201cWell, Ross, I\u2019m sorry to tell you that your friend lied to you, but for what it\u2019s worth, I\u2019m glad it was him and not you who asked me out.\u201d Ross asks, \u201cBecause you respect me for upholding the pact with Chandler?\u201d To which Missy replies, \u201cWell, no. Not really. It\u2019s because I had already dated lots of Jewish guys. Chandler was the first goy I ever kissed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f12\">D.<span class=\"f13\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f9\">The One With the Butt<\/span><span class=\"f8\">, where Chandler meets a beautiful Israeli soldier and considers asking her on a date, but feels she\u2019ll never go out with him. Phoebe tells Chandler that \u201cyou always see these really beautiful women with these really nothing guys. You could be one of those guys.\u201d They do end up dating, and Aurora shares a story about herself, concluding, \u201cLuckily none of the bullets hit the engine block. So, we made it to the border, but just barely.\u201d When she asks Chandler to tell more about himself, he says, \u201cOnce I got on the subway, right, and it was at night, and I rode it all the way to Brooklyn&#8230; just for the hell of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f14\">E.<span class=\"f8\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f9\">The One With the Triplets<\/span><span class=\"f8\">, the episode where Phoebe gives birth to the triplets that she is carrying as a surrogate for her brother and his wife. One of the children is a boy, and the doctor asks if they want the child circumcised. This leads to a conversation among Ross, Chandler and Joey, where Joey says \u201cWhy would anyone do that? I mean, really? Cut it off?\u201d Ross, who is Jewish, replies, \u201cThey don\u2019t cut it off, it\u2019s just a snip.\u201d Joey then asks Chandler, \u201cWhat about you? Are you still all man, or are you like Ross?\u201d, to which Chandler replies, \u201cI may not be snipped, but trust me, girls still don\u2019t think I\u2019m all man.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"f15\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rrrjewishtrivia.com\/answers-2023\/matthew-perry-rip-answer.html\">Click here for the answer.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Matthew%20Perry%2C%20R.I.P.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5841],"tags":[8790,8795,13451,8788,13452],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77910"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77910"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77912,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77910\/revisions\/77912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
