No more womanizing, no more one night stands.
Phoe: Really?
Jo: Really. I realized today that i have done nothing with my life.
Phoe: That's not true! You've done so much!
Jo: Phoebe all i have to show for 6 years of my life are a few tv credits and a like 100 dollars in my bank account. I'm 31 years old!
Phoe: So what will you do now?
Jo: I'm gonna give up women for a while and concentrate on my acting career.
Phoe: You're gonna give up women? Joey Tribbiani is gonna give up women?
Jo: Not like that! For a while i'm gonna take a vow of celebicy.

Jo: Yea, well this experence made me realize that i got a second chance and i don;t wanna blow it. I owe it to myself. I owe
it to Nick.
