Cosmopolitan.com says that Jennifer Aniston recently posted a picture from her vacation on Instagram. Fans commented on how wavy her “beach hair” was. During her time on Friends, Aniston also made news for “The Rachel,” the long, layered bob that her character Rachel wore.
Rachel Green is known for her hair, but she is also a funny character who says many memorable lines during the 10 seasons of the sitcom, whether she is joking with Monica or complaining to Ross. Rachel’s best Friends lines show fans that she is an enthusiastic, positive, and sometimes stubborn character.
“I don’t gossip. Maybe sometimes I find out things…”
There are a lot of things about Friends that are unique, but Rachel’s love of gossip is pretty common. When the other characters try to get Rachel to stop talking about people, Rachel says that it’s not her fault that she learns things and shares them.
Rachel’s lack of self-awareness makes some of the funniest Friends scenes, but she’s also a relatable character because she doesn’t always see her flaws. Rachel knows who she is and doesn’t always want to change. That’s not perfect, but it’s real and honest.
“Some stupid paleontology word that I wouldn’t know…”
Rachel finds out in the second season episode “The One With the List” that Ross made a list of good and bad things about her, calling her “just a waitress.” Rachel shows that she has a bad habit of lashing out when she’s upset by making fun of Ross’s job instead of telling him that he’s hurt her feelings.
“That was pretty obvious.”
In the season 5 episode “The One with Ross’s Sandwich,” Phoebe and Rachel go to a literature class together. When Phoebe gives a smart take on Wuthering Heights, Rachel steals her words to impress the teacher. When Rachel is wrong, she often tells people to shut up.
“Time was what you needed to gain just a little perspective.”
“People love to hear that!”
In season 5, Monica decides to help Rachel with her dating life, but when Rachel wants to confess her love for Ross, Monica isn’t pleased. Rachel shows her optimistic personality when she tells Monica that anyone would be thrilled to hear that someone cares about them so much.
Rachel could simply say that Monica can’t tell her what to do and that she has decided to tell Ross how she feels, but instead, Rachel is as exuberant and pᴀssionate as she always is when talking about any subject but particularly her love life.
“Please. You wanted to get caught!”
In a hilarious season 2 storyline, Monica has a lunch and shopping date with a friend, and Rachel is jealous that Monica has connected with someone else. Rachel is upset and serious when she says that Monica wanted Rachel to find out about it.
This quote shows that Rachel likes to say what she’s feeling and she doesn’t believe in hiding her emotions. It also proves that while Rachel is friends with the others, Rachel has a special bond with Monica that will never end, which is why Rachel doesn’t love thinking about Monica being so close to someone else.
“I mean, what’s the big deal? People do it all the time.”
Although Rachel and Joey’s relationship is a cringeworthy part of Friends, Rachel’s explanation to Monica of why it’s okay that she wants to date Joey is hilarious. Rachel doesn’t like when people underestimate her or tell her that she can’t do something, and she especially feels insulted when Monica tries to give her advice about love.
