Phoebe: Hello. My name is Regina Phalangie. I'm a businesswoman in town on business. Would you like to see my card? Ooh, what did I do with my Filofax? I must've left it in conference room B. Oh my God! May I just say that you two gentlemen have the exact same hands! They're identical! Now, I've never seen anything like that in the business world.

Joey's Hand Twin: Stop it!

Joey: Uhh, Ms. Phalange, may I ask you a question as an impartial¹ person at–at this table? Wouldn't you pay good money to see these identical hands showcased in some type of a uh, entertainment venue²?

Joey's Hand Twin: If you leave now, I will chop off my hand and give it to you!

The Security Guard: Didn't I just throw you out of here?
