I don't know about quickly, but you turn a pineapple on its top and leave it on the counter for a day or two. It should smell sweet when ripe. If you leave it in a brown paper bag, I think that makes it ripen faster. It's also really easy to tell when it is ripe. Pull gently on the leaves towards the top or center and if the feel loose or come out it is ripe. Hope this helps some. Pulling on the leaves of a pineapple will not tell you if a pineapple is ripe, its just a urban myth.

When do you pick lemons off the tree?
This varies enormously according to the variety. While an orange may look ripe when it changes from greenish to orange, it may not have developed sweetness. Taste and knowledge of the variety are the best guides, as an orange will not continue to ripen off the tree. Some will maintain quality if left on the tree, while others will deteriorate quickly. Some ripen in 6 months, while others can take up to a year.

They need to be softened off the tree. Firm avocados take about two to three days to ripen. To speed up the process, place them with ripe apples in a paper bag and loosely close it by scrunching the top of the bag. Apples emit ethylene gas that make fruit ripen quickly.

Why does tomatoes ripen bananas?
I think you mean an apple will ripen bananas or green tomatoes. The apples as they ripen give off gas that aids and speeds up the ripening of other fruits, like placed in a brown bag with bananas or tomatoes and other fruits. Apples stored in the frige crisper drawer will make other fruits ripen quickly, thus go bad before you use them too.
