  • Turk: What'd you page me to the roof for?

  • Turk: I mean, I consider myself a really romantic guy who's just a little stressed out. And I thought the one person who'd understand that would be Carla.
    Dr. Cox: You know what the weird thing is, is that I'm actually trying this time.
    Turk: I just wonder if I'm what she really wants.
    Dr. Cox: I just wonder if I'll ever be able to make it work out with anyone.
    J.D.: My peep's on the fritz.
    Turk: Dude!
    Dr. Cox: Oh, poor Newbie.
    J.D.: No, no! No, no, no, no! No, I'm talking about you guys! 'Cause y-y-y-you guys are like-you guys are like my peeps, you're my dawgs, and you on the fritz. So, there-that's where I get "peeps"/"fritz" came from.
    Dr. Cox: God love you, Newbie. Thank you for... giving me some perspective. edit »
  • Dr. Cox: Okay. I'm going to engage you two in a conversation. And you speak of it to no one, agreed?

    Dr. Cox: It has gotten to the point where I'm starting to go back in my head over all my old relationships. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm going to sit here and count up all the women I've ever slept with...
    Turk: Twelve.
    J.D.: Nine.
    Dr. Cox: Eighteen. But not one of them ever really understood me. edit »

    J.D.: It's like they're from another planet! edit »
