Quotes

J.D. Carla, let him finish!
Carla: (hands J.D. the console) You can have it!
J.D.: Family comes first, Turk (edit)
Dr. Cox: Regardless, you interns are the future of this hospital. If you don't treat patients, you won't learn. What I want you to do is walk over to Mr. Setzer and say these words, "I'm your doctor. Deal with it." Can you say that? (edit)
Dr. Cox: "He doesn't want to be treated by interns", with the I dotted with a little heart and a little frownie face at the end. It's incredible. Your handwriting's actually more annoying than your voice. (edit)
Kim: You're a piece of crap!
J.D.: You're doing great.
Kim: I hate your hair!
J.D.: Impossible, nobody does. (edit)
Dr. Kelso: Of course you had to break up with him, no one you love should ever sell your car without asking and then blow the money on meth. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When J.D. and Turk are playing the Xbox 360, the light on J.D.'s controller is not on meaning it is not on. (edit)
Turk can be seen using a blue Transformers shirt with a picture of Optimus Prime, a rainbow and the number 84. That exact shirt design can be found at www.nerdyshirts.com (edit)
The game was clearly described as a two player game, so it wouldn't have been possible for Carla to play it let alone win it several times as a single player. (edit)
Turk and J.D. (and later the Janitor and Carla) can be seen playing the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 controller J.D. is using is a wireless controller, the controller Turk is using is a wired controller with the wire cut off. (edit)
Dr. Donna (Debra Azar), who delivered Jack in "My Karma", delivers Sam Dorian in this episode. (edit)

The Flintstones
J.D. makes a comment comparing his son Sam to "Bamm-Bamm" of The Flintstones. (edit)
