QUOTES

  • (J.D. enters the patient Sarah's room)
    J.D.: Hey Sarah, how are ya'? I'm Doctor Dorian. Look, you were in and out of consciousness when they brought you in, do you have any family you want us to contact?
    Sarah: Nah, it's just me and my dog Charlie. You can try him but he barely answers his cell.
    J.D.: What's Charlie's cellphone number, 1800-CATS ARE LAME?
    (Sarah shows no reaction to J.D.'s comment)
    J.D.: Okay, other than the obvious loss of your sense of humor. edit »
  • Rex: Excuse me, Dr. Cox.
    Dr. Cox: Yes, Party Doc.
    Rex: I heard crying coming from this room last night, thought you should know.
    Carla: Don't look at me, I wasn't crying. edit »
  • J.D.'s thoughts: Kim's leaving to pack and I still have no plan to make her stay. It's go time, just say the first thing that pops into your head.
    Kim: Hey J.D.
    J.D.: I'm rich. You don't have to take that job.
    Kim: Uh, you're not rich.
    J.D.: Oh yes, I am, Kim. And this right here is my dope-ass Mercedes.
    (J.D. jumps on the back of the car and he continuously almost slides off then shuts the gas tank which opens up)
    J.D.: I didn't want to tell you because I wanted you to like me for me.
    Kim: You're an idiot, J.D.
    J.D.: Am I, Kim?
    (The car takes off) edit »
  • J.D.: Phone sex is out of the question because I'm a righty when I talk on the phone and I'm also a righty when I'm teaching mini J.D. who daddy is. edit »
  • Kim: You don't want to be around me when I'm pregnant, all the women in my family go psycho.
    J.D.: Yeah but Kim...
    Kim: I wasn't finished!
    (Kim pushes J.D. against the wall. J.D. comes back with a bloody nose.)
    J.D.: You know I'm back, I'm back. It's perfectly fine. I just hit the wall. Look, whatever your decision is, I support you.
    Kim: Oh you're so awesome, J.D.
    (J.D. tastes the blood on his lips)
    J.D.'s thoughts: My lips taste weird. edit »

ALLUSIONS

  • Dane Cook:
    When Dr. Cox is ranting to Keith and Lisa about how no doctors are really like House, he goes on to say that it is a mystery that anybody on the planet could think Dane Cook is funny.

    Dane Cook is a very energetic stand up comedian who has also been in movies and TV shows. His most recent album became Double Platinum, and has become the highest charting comedy album in twenty-eight years. edit »
  • House References:

    Dr. Cox rants "This isn't a TV show, there aren't any cameras over here, real medical mysteries don't happen every week and doctors damn sure don't look like models..."

    When Dr. Cox was limping in the coffee shop with the cane, he resembled Dr. House on House.

    One of J.D.'s patients is diagnosed with Broken Heart Syndrome. The very next airing of House, the episode entitled "Words and Deeds", originally airing a mere five days after this, also featured a patient whose main affliction was thought to be Broken Heart Syndrome.

    J.D. says that sometimes he wishes that the hospital were like a TV show and there was someone like House to come in and solve all of their problems.

    The orange man case can also be found in the Pilot Episode of House. edit »
