I pulled the complete Friends script from the EmilHvitfeldt/friends R dataset, every line of dialogue from all 10 seasons, properly sorted scene by scene.
Some things I found:
-
“Oh my God” is said 911 times. Rachel leads with 258, Monica’s at 230. It’s not Janice’s catchphrase, it’s everyone’s.
-
“How you doin’”, only 36 times. It feels like every episode, but Joey actually only says it 26 times across the entire show.
-
“We were on a break”, 10 times total. Ross says it 7 of those.
I just rewatched the entire last episode by reading via the dots on the page,
