Janitor calls Carla 'nurse Ipanema.' Janitor could be seen dancing while the song "The Girl From Ipanema" is on in the My Friend With Money episode. edit »
Elliot's vows that Dr. Cox recites make reference to an apple thief. This is probably a reference to Elliot's family's apple orchard (as mentioned in many episodes including "My Lucky Charm") and her fantasy about sex with an apple thief (mentioned in season five's "My Day at the Races" and "My Five Stages"). edit »
In this episode we find out that Elliot has reserved the church every July since she was 19. But in "3x02 My Journey" she told Turk and Carla that she reserved the church for April, 25th 2006. edit »
When J.D. and Turk are driving out of the hospital parking lot, they turn right and go behind a tree and never come out. edit »
The portrait of Dr. Kelso that the Janitor puts his face over is from "My Kingdom", when Dr. Cox convinces Sacred Heart staff that Kelso is dead. edit »

The room with the curved staircase (Where Old Young M.C. is introduced) is the same room where T.C.W. held the reception for her husband back in season two. The same location was used to shoot both scenes. edit »

Janitor: (After donning a lab coat) Now, let's find a cure for Polio. edit »
(Ted taking notes from what the Janitor said)
Dr. Cox: Ted, you do realize that was all gibberish. He's just pretending. He can't make any real changes in this place.
Ted: Tell that to the new day care program.
(Cuts to children coloring, one of them is Jack)
Jack: Hi dad.
Dr. Cox: Jack, (puts arms up) what are you doing? edit »
Old M.C.: Bust a move, man. Hey, bust a move. (To Turk and J.D.) Bust a move, fellas.
(J.D. and Turk scream)
J.D.: You bust a move! Old Young M.C.
Turk: Check me.
J.D.: Bust a move! You're the one who should be busting moves! I can die now. edit »
(In the car which is leaving then gets out of sight)
J.D.: Hey, you know how in the movies when a car gets farther and farther away you can still hear the people talking like they were right in front of the camera?
Turk: Yeah, that drives me crazy.
J.D.: Hey, I brought snacks for the trip. Pringle? Oh, turn left here to get on the freeway.
Turk: No, not yet. I have to stop and go pee.
J.D.: Already? I told you to go before we left. edit »
Turk: Look, hey, I'm going to Phoenix this weekend for a surgical conference why don't you come with me? Probably take your mind off of Elliot.
J.D.: I don't know, Turk. Would I get my own room?
Turk: We'd have to share.
J.D.: Then you know what my answer is.
(Cuts to them in the car leaving the hospital)
Turk: On our way to Phoenix! edit »
