Phoebe: Sorry...Mrs. Mitchell.
Paige: Oh, no, no, no. I'm keeping my own last name.
Phoebe: Really? You're not even gonna hyphenate it?
Paige: Matthews-Mitchell? I'm thinking: it sounds like a law firm.

Phoebe: Hey, Mon, was it weird changing your name to "Geller-Bing"?
Monica: No, no. It felt nice to acknowledge this. (pats Chandler's leg)
Phoebe: Where did you go to do it?
Monica: Uhm the... the ministry... of names... bureau...
Chandler: YOU NEVER DID IT!
Monica: I'm sorry. It's just the idea of being an official Bing.
Chandler: Hey! I will have you know that... aah, who am I kidding? Let's call the kid Geller and let Bing die with me.

Ben: I mean, we've never talked about it, but I really want you to take my last name.
Leslie: Oh! Oh. Okay. Really?
Ben: Yeah, it's just really important to me, symbolically, that Leslie Knope disappears and becomes Leslie Wyatt. Or Councilwoman Mrs. Ben Wyatt. That's fine too.
Leslie: ...It's a deal breaker. Wait, are you messing with me?
