Quotes

add »
J.D.: (After Elliot removes a sign with her fingers that he couldn't with a crowbar) She has fingers like biceps. (edit)
J.D.: The best thing about this place is that when someone's really in trouble, all the pettiness melts away. (edit)
J.D.: The point is, we should... hang out outside the hospital sometime.
Elliot: J.D., I still need time. I know that's gonna be hard for you because you like to fix everything right away, but... you just do the best you can, okay?
J.D.: Is it fixed now?
Elliot: Nope.
J.D.'s Narration: Shoot! (edit)
J.D.'s Narration: Ultimately, conflict is resolved by remembering why you were friends in the first place.
Laverne: Don't hang up, Lester.
Molly: You should talk to her. You know her better.
J.D.'s Narration: Or by swallowing your pride.
Carla: I know what you're doing. But I'm okay with it.
Dr. Cox: He's coming. He's coming! Get your ass out here!
J.D.'s Narration: Or by uniting against a moment-stealing common enemy who took credit for your ingenious method of de-bulbing a patient's keister! (edit)
Dr. Cox: Turtlehead! You're gonna wanna get a piece of this! Come on.
Turk: Where'd you get the coat?
Janitor: I earned it. Let's get our moment.
Mr. Porter: Thanks for all the hard work, Bob.
Dr. Kelso: Glad to do it. Oh, and, uh, Bart, I think Lyle might be ready for that rough-sex-play talk you had with your other boys. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When in the cafeteria, J.D. asks for some ketchup and Eliot nails him in the face with some packets. However, in a different episode on cheeseburger day, the show makes a big deal about how the whole cafeteria has to share only one bottle of ketchup. (edit)
The man in the horned helmet gets off J.D.'s scooter and goes onto the sidewalk. In the next shot, as J.D. rides away, the man has disappeared. (edit)
On the surgery board it says Dr. Grace Miller is still at the hospital. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Labradoodles:
Dr. Cox repeatedly calls J.D. a 'labradoodle', which is an engineered cross between a labrador and a standard poodle. The labradoodle was originally bred in Australia in an attempt to create a hypoallergenic breed, to allow disabled people with dog fur allergies to own an assistance dog. Results varied, and the labradoodle is not recognised as a breed with any major kennell club. (edit)
Elliot: Now I know how Liza Minelli felt! When she won the Oscar, not when she married that gay pan-faced alien.

She is referring to Liza Minelli's Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Sally Bowles in Cabarte, and her later marriage to David Gest, whom she divorced in 2003. (edit)

"Pivotal"
A lightbulb in the colon... it'll take more than labradoodles to figure this one out.
