Ross: No, I thought I knew her. (pause) Now I have a thirteen year old daughter who hates me.
Chandler: She doesn't hate you Ross.
Ross: (shakes his head) She shoulda told me, I woulda helped her.
Chandler: (sighs) You do know you're gonna have to see her soon.
Ross: (looks at him) I don't even know what I'm gonna say to her. (stands up, he has tears in his eyes) I hate her so much right now.
Chandler: (rubs his shoulder (friendly way!)) Ross, you know this is the sort of thing Rachel would do, and that's what you fell in love with.
Ross: I've always loved her.but (looks at him) Let's just say while you and Monica were dating, she ran off pregnant, then fourteen years later you find out you had Livy and you go through all this. Would you be able to forgive her?
