Joey: I'm telling you, it's going to be worth it. It's a known fact that women love babies, all right? Women love guys who love babies. It's the whole sensitive thing. Quick, aim him at that pack of babes over there. Maybe one of them will break away. Wait, forget them. We got one. Hard left. All right. Give me the baby.

Chandler: It’s ok. I got him.

Joey: Come on, seriously.

Chandler: Oh, seriously, you want him?

Chandler: Hello.

Woman: Hello. Who is this little cutie-pie?

Chandler: Well, don't think me immodest, but... me.

Woman: I think my uterus just skipped a beat.

Joey: Hey! Hey! Look at that talent.

Chandler: Just practicing. You're good. Carry on.

Both: Wait, wait, wait!


Woman: Hey, you. He's just adorable.

Chandler: Can you tell him that? Because he thinks he looks too pink.

Woman: So what are you guys out doing today?
