Carla: Whew, Elliot. Double dessert?
Elliot: Yeah, I promised a patient we'd gain weight together.
Ted: Wow! It's not every doctor that would take a hot bod like yours and go all jiggly for a patient. (edit) J.D.: (To Janitor) Move it, Jolly Green. (edit) Dr. Cox: (To Elliot) New from Mattel, it's Hypocrite Barbie. Now when you do waltz into your similarly stick-like patient's room, I don't want you to feel guilty because you brought in a bag of celery sticks and some air for lunch today. Remember (whispering sarcastically) it's not about you, it's about her.
(Elliot drags Dr. Cox into her patient's room)
Eliot: Robin, this colleague of mine has pointed out that I could also stand to gain a few pounds. And, I don't want to be a hypocrite. So, how about you and I do it together.
Robin: Sure. (Looking at Dr. Cox) He's got crazy eyes.
Dr. Cox: I do. And, I'm okay with it. (edit) (J.D. furiously screaming, trying to break the windshield of the car Dan just gave him with a trash can)
J.D.: I'm gonna take a quick breather.
Dan: J.D., I enjoy a demonstration of your lack of physical strength as much as the next guy. But, what's your problem?
J.D.: Dan, you come here with your new job, and your new house and you give me a car.
Dan: So what?
J.D.'s Narration: Don't say it.
J.D.: You're supposed to be the loser, not me. (Hits the windshield again and it breaks) Clearly I loosened it.
J.D.'s Narration: And then Dan said the last thing I ever expected to hear from him.
Dan: You know what, J.D., you need to grow up. (edit) J.D.'s Narration: Having Dan here wasn't all bad.
Carla: So Dan, you still living with your mom?
J.D.: Carla, Dan doesn't live with our mom. He lives in an apartment that happens to be in Mom's attic.
J.D.'s Narration: Yep, nothing makes my life seem less crappy then hanging my loser bro.
J.D.: I mean sure, there's lots of bats up there. But, that's because there's no air conditioning.
Turk: Bats like heat?
J.D.: Musty heat, yes. Good question, Turk.
Turk: Thanks. (To Carla) How come you don't point out when I ask good questions?
Carla: Because I don't love you like he does.
J.D.: Tooold yooou.

(edit)
The "Hedging Noise Symphony" is performed to the tune of the Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" by Carla (Judy Reyes), Elliot (Sarah Chalke), Ted (Sam Lloyd) and Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins).
(edit)
When J.D. and Dan were in the car, he said he didn't know how to turn it on, but in "My Intern's Eyes" he easily turned it on and drove the Porsche.
(edit)
In this episode, it is said that Elliot is 5'9" and weighs 118 pounds, and she should gain some weight. However, in season 5, Carla refers to Elliot as a "108-pound ski pole", but she isn't seen as too thin.
(edit)
Carla mentions that she told Elliot and J.D. that they are both human when she told the same thing to Elliot (again) and the Janitor.
(edit)
Featured Music:
"Friends And Family Song" by Trick Turner (Closing scene) (edit)
"Friends And Family Song" by Trick Turner (Closing scene) (edit)
The title of this episode is an allusion to the 2006 global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
