it's all rubbish, isn't it?

JEFF: It's all rubbish, isn't it?
JANE: Rubbish?
JEFF: They're not exploring their feelings, they're leaving.
JANE: Yeah, yeah. I know.
JEFF: You don't deserve this.
JANE: We really, really don't deserve this, Jeffrey.

(don't) cushion the blow

PHOEBE: (ENTERING) Hi guys!
ALL: Hey, Pheebs! Hi!
ROSS: Hey. Oh, oh, how'd it go?
PHOEBE: Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'
ALL: Ohh. Ouch.
RACHEL: What? He said 'we should do it again', that's good, right?
MONICA: Uh, no. Loosely translated 'We should do this again' means 'You will never see me naked'.
RACHEL: Since when?
JOEY: Since always. It's like dating language. Y'know, like 'It's not you' means 'It is you'.
CHANDLER: Or 'You're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you'.
PHOEBE: Or, or, y'know, um, 'I think we should see other people' means 'Ha, ha, I already am'.

REBADOW: You know, you try to prepare for a death, but always secretly you believe there's a chance that the doctors were wrong, that they'll find a cure, and that as long as he's alive there's time. So, while you think you're stealing yourself, all you're really doing is waiting on the miracle, which is why, when death comes, it's so horrible, because you realize... you weren't prepared at all.
BUSMALIS: But you knew last night.
REBADOW: On some level.

Babbling mess

And, yes, everytime someone mentions your name I freeze and stare at them in mid-disbelief. I force it to seem like any other indifferent stare I'd give at the coming up of some nobody's name, but in truth I am terrified to make a move or even open my mouth. And make a complete fool out of myself. Nothing but a babbling mess, I'd be.

So, shoo, get outta my head for a sec and lemme study, will ya?
