  • In this episode the janitor tricks J.D. into helping him steal from the Kwan's house by telling him it's his house. However, J.D. has already been to the janitor's house in the season two episode My Interpretation so why did this trick work? edit »

  • Turk: Well, I'm sorry. I didn't get how this baby-making stuff could be sexy. But I do now.
    Carla: Well, you know, Turk, I can get angry if you give me a little help.
    Turk: If you had no hair, you'd look like Danny DeVito.
    Carla: Aw, Turk, a little help. edit »
  • Paige: I beat you at Horse, he has a church wedding.
    Dr. Cox: Done.
    (Paige throws basketball backwards and sinks a shot into the net)
    Paige: That went in, didn't it?
    Dr. Cox: Did you thank the G-Man for that?
    Paige: That was all me, baby. edit »
  • Turk: I just don't understand why we can't have fun while making a baby.
    Carla: I am just so glad you have to hurt my feelings to have fun.
    Turk: I can't believe you! Wha- Calm down!
    Carla: Great, that's really nice for you. "Calm down"? I'm gonna kill you!
    Turk: (Looking towards the church ceiling) You hear that? She's gonna kill me! Get her. edit »
  • J.D.: Still, I've never known you to judge a person based on their beliefs. In fact, you're pretty tolerant of everyone. Except Hugh Jackman.
    Dr. Cox: Meh. edit »
  • Bionic Woman
    When the vase begins to fall in the apartment that J.D. and the Janitor are robbing the sound effect made when he is leaping to catch it is from the Bionic Woman. The same sound was made anytime she used her bionic abilities. edit »
  • Tyra Banks:
    In place of foreplay, Carla simply says the words 'Tyra Banks', in reference to the American supermodel and talk show host. edit »
  • Koyaanisqatsi:
    The theme to "Koyaanisqatsi" plays while Janitor gives JD the evil-eye. The film is often parodied for its extended sequences of passers-by glaring at the camera with similar music playing, sometimes the theme itself. edit »
