- The Janitor claims he knows the names of everyone who works at the hospital. This is the same guy who frequently refers to Elliot as "blonde doctor" or to Turk as "black doctor" when talking about them. edit »
- In the scene where Turk is listening to a recording of conversational Spanish while in bed with Carla, the recording gives the wrong Spanish phrase for "What time is it?" The recording says "Cuando es?" when the correct phrase is "Que hora es?" edit »
- Featured Music:
"Who are You?" originally by the Who, covered by The Blanks
"Opportunity" by Pete Murray (Closing scene) edit » - It is revealed that Colonel Doctor's real name is Coleman Slawski which is so similar to the salad sold by KFC, the Cole Slaw. edit »
- Jack: (On answering machine) Daddy, Grandma says you once peed in the garden.
Perry: Guilty. edit » - J.D.: (while mopping) It's like this ammonia is seeping into my brain and making me violent and angry and hateful.
Janitor: Yup, that's how it starts.
J.D.: (at a passing doctor) What the hell you lookin' at?!
Janitor: Nice.
J.D.: That felt good. edit » - Turk: Somehow, distantly, I'm related to the guy who invented peanuts.
Carla: Turk, that's George Washington Carver. He didn't invent peanuts, he just thought up uses for them.
Turk: I'm talking about the little foam packaging peanuts. How dumb do you think I am? (Carla shrugs) Baby! edit » - Dr. Cox: Go to hell, Bob.
Dr. Kelso: I didn't even say anything. edit » - Carla: My mother taught me how important my heritage is. I will do the same for Izzie, and speaking Spanish is a huge part of that. Plus, I want to take her to the homeland.
Turk: Baby, you're from Chicago. Just get her a deep dish pizza. You know what, why don't you get me a deep dish pizza? With onions and sau-saaage.
Carla: Turk, I was referring to the Dominican Republic. And if you say, isn't that where I bought my wrinkle-free chinos, I may kill you. edit » - Dr. Cox: (looking at an X-ray) Yeah, that looks like a healthy bone.
Todd: Speaking of healthy bones...
Jordan: Perry.
Todd: (to Jordan) One sec, ma'am. (to Dr. Cox) I've got one in my pants. (to Jordan) He's all yours. edit » - J.D.: I don't even like waterparks. I mean I did, until someone thought it'd be funny to go down the slide two seconds after me.
Turk: Dude, the lifeguard told me to go.
J.D.: Really? Did he also tell you to take your trunks off, Turk? Because the last thing a guy wants to see when he's in a splashpool is his best friend's junk headed towards him at forty miles per hour. Felt like I got pistol-whipped. edit » - Dr. Cox: (to J.D.) You know what you should use? Mnemonic devices. Associate the person's name with something about them. I do it all of the time. Like... (stops Ted) this guy. Look... at him. Now, there's no way he's ever going to make love to a woman, unless that woman is dead. And "dead" rhymes with "Ted". Ted.
Ted.: That's how most people remember it. edit » - Janitor: You are gonna learn 310 names in one day.
J.D.: Hey, the night before my anatomy final, I got drunk on peppermint schnapps, 'cause Turk told me it was a special new mouthwash, could swallow, and after I was done crying and dry heaving and lying in a fetal position, I still managed to memorize all 216 bones in the human body.
Janitor: There's only 206 bones in the human body.
J.D.: Well, it appears I learned ten more than I needed to. edit » - Janitor: Well done, "Dr. John I think I am a man of the people but now thanks to the Janitor everyone knows I'm a fraud and I have egg on my face Dorian". That's your clever new nickname!
J.D.'s narration: Oh my god! You finally have a nickname! edit » - Jordan: What have you been doing all day?
Dr. Cox: Right up until this very moment, I've been successfully avoiding you. edit » - J.D.: Okay, Snoop Dog attending, I saw him with his pants down once and he has crazy skinny legs like French fries, French fries are sold at McDonald's, whose founder is Ronald McDonald; Ronald.
Janitor: You saw him without his pants on once. edit » - Dr. Cox: (To Elliot) Barbie, puh-LEESE stop lumping us in together. Tomorrow is my day off, and I'm joyous to have my place all to myself. Y'see, I'm a lot of things. I'm a Scorpio, a registered independent, a foodie, a Parrothead, yes, I do love that Jimmy Buffett, always have, always will, a leg man...
Dr. Kelso: A right bastard.
Dr. Cox: ...thank you, Bob. But I can assure you that one thing I am NOT is...
Dr. Kelso: Straight?
Dr. Cox: ...audience participation is now over. The one thing I am not is lonely. Capisce? edit » - (After the "Risky Business" fantasy)
J.D.: Sometimes, you just gotta say "What the Fudge."
Elliot: That's not the line.
J.D.: I saw it on a plane. edit » - J.D.:Hello, Tall, Dark and....whatever.
Janitor: Handsome.
J.D.:...No. edit » - Turk: Hola, Carla.
(Pause)
Turk: That's how you say hello, right? edit » - Janitor: Ahh...the first spill of the day.
(Said after Janitor slurps up spilt coffee) edit »
