Quotes

add »
J.D.'s Narration: Besides, somehow you always seem to end up with the person you're meant to be with.
Janitor: One, two, three.
J.D. and Janitor lift the chair with a pssed out Dr. Kelso sitting on it
J.D.: Thanks for helping out.
Janitor: I'm only going as far as the dumpster. (edit)
Turk: Hey. How's it going, Mr. Fitzpatrick?
Mr. Fitzpatrick: Actually, it's Father Fitzpatrick.
Carla: Could you do us a quick favor? (edit)
Elliot: J.D.! It's not happening. Besides, if Sean and I are meant to be together, I never would have gone home with you that night and sabotaged everything that I had with him.
J.D.: You and I are gonna be okay, right?
Elliot: What do you think?
J.D.: Probably not... Elliot! You let me know when we are.
Elliot: Don't hold your breath. (edit)
Sean: Elliot, do you wanna get out of here?
Elliot: Sean, look, I don't know what J.D. told you, but... if we're gonna give this another try, you need to know that I didn't end things with you because I was freaking out about us living together. I did it because... J.D. and I have this history and... I actually thought he might be the one. But I just ended up getting my heart broken.
Sean: Sucks, doesn't it? (edit)
Sean: So, what have you been up to?
Elliot: Doctor stuff. Heh. You?
Sean: Oh, I-I was crying a lot. And then I got really emotionally numb. Um, oh, and this morning, I jammed a salad fork two inches into my thigh to see if I could still feel the pain.
Elliot: And?
Sean: Oh, yeah.
Elliot: Good. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Hattie Winston reprises her role as Margaret Turk, from the season 1 episode "My Old Man". (edit)
J.D. says it's been four days since Sean and Elliot broke up but "My Self Examination" was set a day after "My Fault" and this episode was a day after that, so unless two days passed between when Elliot broke up with Sean and arrived at J.D.'s, they've only been broken up for two. (edit)
Featured Music:
"Here Comes The Bride (Traditional)" performed by The Blanks
"Eight Days a Week" performed by The Blanks
"Beautiful" by Steve Bertrand (edit)
Near the start of this episode J.D. says he is staying at Elliot's house because Turk's family is in town and they are staying at the apartment he shares with Turk and Carla. However, in the previous episode he said he couldn't stay at his apartment because Carla's family is staying there. (edit)
Normally, the episodes which are significant for the show are written, or, written and directed by Bill Lawrence (the creator). However, this episode is just directed by him. (edit)

Allusions

Captain Sulu:
Turk thinks a priest at another church looks like Captain Sulu. Sulu is a character from Star Trek, played by George Takei. The priest Turk sees at the other church is played by George Takei, hence why he thinks they look alike. (edit)
My Best Friend's Wedding:
The episode title refers to the 1997 film starring Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney. (edit)
