(To Joey) Maybe it's something you ate?
joey
Joey
Please, just-just, just go and talk to Rachel.
ross
Ross
Yeah, I guess I should. (Starts to leave.) Man, y'know what I have to realize? Maybe I'm just not the type of guy women can have just one night with. Y'know, they-they always seem to want a little bit more. I should remember that. (He pauses and then exits.)
