Quotes 

• Ross : You're sleeping with my sister?

  Joey : [Covering for Chandler]  It was only for one night. It was when we were in London.

  Ross : This is not good for my rage.

• [Ross is given medicine for anger management] 

  Chandler : What did they give you?

  Ross : I don't know, but I sure don't care about my sandwich anymore.

• Dr. Ledbetter : We've been getting reports of some... very angry behavior on your part.

  Ross : [concerned]  What?

  Dr. Ledbetter : Threatening letters, refusal to meet deadlines. Apparently people now call you *mental*.

  Ross : [proudly chuckles]  Yeah.

  Dr. Ledbetter : We want you to speak to a psychiatrist.

  Ross : Oh no.

  [laughs] 

  Ross : You don't understand. Ugh, this is so silly. Um... this is all just because of a sandwich.

  Dr. Ledbetter : [laughs in confusion]  A sandwich?

  Ross : Yeah, yeah. You see, my sister makes these amazing turkey sandwiches. Her secret is, she puts a... an extra slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle; I call it the "Moist Maker".

  [Ledbetter chuckles] 

  Ross : Anyway, I-I put my sandwich in the fridge over here, and...

  Dr. Ledbetter : [laughs dismissively]  Oh, oh you know what?

  Ross : What?

  Dr. Ledbetter : I-I-I'm sorry, I-I-I believe I ate that.

  [smiles] 

  Ross : You ate my sandwich?

  Dr. Ledbetter : It was a simple mistake. It could happen to anyone.

  Ross : Oh-oh-oh really? Did you confuse it with your *own* turkey sandwich with a Moist Maker?

  Dr. Ledbetter : No, I, uh...

  Ross : Do you perhaps remember seeing a *note* on top of it?

  Dr. Ledbetter : There may have been a joke, or... limerick of some kind...

  Ross : [getting angry]  That said it was *my* sandwich.

  Dr. Ledbetter : Now-now calm down. Um... come look in my office, some of it may still be in the trash.

  Ross : [stands up in disbelief]  What?

  Dr. Ledbetter : Well, it was quite large, I-I-I had to throw most of it away.

  Ross : [trying to remain composed]  You-you-you-you threw my sandwich away.

  [bellowing] 

  Ross : *MY* SANDWICH? MYYYYY SANDWICH?

• Rachel Green : [to the gang after finding Joey with a nude photo of Monica that she gave Chandler]  Joey has got a secret peephole!

  Chandler : Oh no, no no!

  Rachel Green : Yes, he has a naked picture of Monica. He takes naked pictures of us, then he eats chicken, and he looks at them! Look!

  [shoves the photo in Ross' face] 

  Ross : [covering his eyes]  No! Dude, that's my sister!

• Ross : [referring to someone at work eating his sandwich]  I still can't believe someone ate it! Look, I left a note and everything.

  Chandler : [passes note to Chandler]  "Knock knock! Who's there? Ross Gellar's lunch. Ross Gellar's lunch who? Ross Gellar's lunch, please don't take me, OK?"

  Joey : I'm surprised you didn't go home wearing your lunch.

  [laughs] 

• Ross : You get tough with people, and you can get anything you want.

  [Joey walks past drinking a cup of coffee] 

  Ross : Hey Tribbiani, give me that coffee, now!

  [Joey pushes Ross over the sofa without stopping drinking] 

• Monica Geller : [Ross wanders into the coffee house, clearly sedated and eating candyfloss]  Ross, are you ok?

  Ross : I'm fine. I saw a psychiatrist at work today.

  Monica Geller : Why?

  Ross : On account of my rage.

  Chandler : Which, if I may say, right now is out of control.
