Notes

add »

Interestingly, Dr. Cox and Julie were watching "Survivor", the show that airs opposite to Scrubs on CBS and that often gets higher ratings than Scrubs itself. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Turk: All right, now, who wants a refill?
Elliot: Gu-I can't afford this place!
J.D.: Elliot, I'm a hundred and thirty thousand dollars in debt. You're gonna be all right. (edit)
Turk: You know, I keep waiting to get sick of pudding but with every cup I love it more.
J.D.: Yeah, me too. (edit)
Dr. Cox: I was always gonna wind up with you.
Jordan: So, the whole vulnerable crying thing worked, huh?
Dr. Cox: I never had a chance.
Jordan: You do realize I'm pregnant, don't you?
Dr. Cox: Yeah. They're both for me.
Jordan: Cheers. (edit)
Julie: So, is your ex-wife like all women are crazy-crazy? Or more like that assistant who tazered David Spade-crazy?
Dr. Cox: Well, you gotta try and understand, she's going through a rough time right now, and I'm the one she's used to leaning on. Which, in her current condition, is actually causing me more physical pain than it is emotional. (edit)
Carla: So, you finally stood up to your father?
Elliot: Yep.
Carla: And he cut you off - no money, no nothing?
Elliot: Pretty much.
Carla: Jerk. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Dr. Cox gives J.D. the girl name "Sabrina" in this episode. (edit)
Dr. Cox's song "Perry's gonna get some loving" sounds a lot like Turk's "I get to cut you open" from "My Day Off" in season one. (edit)
When Turk tries to prove his knowledge of The Brady Bunch by describing exactly which episode J.D. is referring to, he's actually wrong. He claims the episode "Marcia Gets Creamed" was in season 5, episode 3, while it was actually episode 7 that season. (edit)
Featured Music:
"Mother, We Just Can't Get Enough" by New Radicals
"If I Had $1000000" by Barenaked Ladies
"Ride Wit Me" by Nelly (edit)
The Greek letters on the OB/GYN girls' shirts in the pillow fight scene are: Omega, Beta, and Gamma. (edit)
