Hotel Clerk: I think you'll find this room more to your liking¹.

Chandler: Okay, great.

Hotel Clerk: They say he's only got half a tank left.

Chandler: Half a tank? We still got a lot of high-speed chasing² to do!

Monica: We're switching rooms again.

Chandler: What? Why?

Monica: This is a garden view room, and we paid for an ocean view room.

Hotel Clerk: Our last ocean view room was unacceptable to you.

Monica: Excuse me, can I talk to you over here for just a second?

Chandler: Uh-huh.

Monica: Chandler!

Chandler: Yeah.

Monica: Look, these clowns are trying to take us for a ride and I'm not gonna let 'em! And we're not a couple of suckers!
