  • Carla: So are you guys gonna go out tonight?
    Turk: No, we're gonna stay in.
    Carla: Well, I'll be in the bedroom with all the straight people. edit »
  • J.D.: Oh my God! Dude! I doubted you for a second, why are you so mad?
    Turk: Maybe I needed you to believe in me!
    Carla: I believe in you, baby.

    Ted: Helps the tears taste less bitter.
    J.D.: Cheers. edit »
  • Elliot: Look, J.D., ever since you dumped me, everyone around here's been treating me like some kind of a victim. It's like, "Ohh, look at poor Elliot going home alone." Or, "Ohh, look at poor Elliot riding a tandem bike by herself." That's not something I normally do, I just really wanted ice cream the other night, my car was out of gas, and that's the bike the Gundersons loaned me. edit »

    There were two BarberShop films, one in 2002 and a sequel in 2004 subtitled 'Back In Business'. Both starred Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer. edit »
