Chandler Bing quotes “And I just want a million dollars!” in Friends.
The line appears in the series premiere, “The Pilot,” also known as “The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate.” Ross is upset after his wife Carol leaves him and says that he does not want to be single—he wants to be married again. At that exact moment, Rachel enters Central Perk wearing her wedding dress after abandoning her wedding to Barry.
Chandler immediately treats Ross's wish as if it has come true, then adds his own wish for a million dollars. The joke depends on the visual timing: Rachel's entrance makes Ross's statement about marriage seem magically fulfilled, so Chandler jokingly expects money to appear next. It is an early example of the sarcastic, quick-fire humor that became central to his character.
Some viewers remember the line as “I just won a million dollars,” partly because of captioning variations and repeated clips. The canonical spoken joke is “And I just want a million dollars,” delivered by Chandler, played by Matthew Perry. The scene also introduces Rachel to the rest of the main group and launches the show's central six-person ensemble.
