Turk: Will you marry me?
Carla: What did you say?
Turk: I think I said, "Will you marry me?"
Carla: Turk, wow!
Turk: I got a ring. Um... I don't have it on me, but, uh... it's in a safe place.
Carla: I can't believe this! I- I've imagined you saying this to me like a thousand times... I just never imagined that when you actually asked, all I would say is... I need to think.
Turk: Cool! Uh... Yeah, whew! That's-that's-that's-that's what I was hoping to hear! (edit) Ted: So, I hear they're making that office into the ladies' locker room, huh?
Dr. Kelso: Yes, Ted.
Ted: Bummer! (edit) Elaine: It's fun to annoy him!
J.D.: It's what I do. (edit) Elaine: I'm not afraid of death. I mean, if I got a heart, that would be great. Still, if they told me it was never gonna happen, I think that'd be okay, too. It's the waiting I can't take. I just wanna know one way or the other, you know?
Dr. Cox: I got an idea: Why don't we switch to a cheerier subject!
J.D.: What do you think death is like?
Elaine: I really hope it's like a big Broadway musical. Everyone's all dressed up and singing to the rafters, and you go out with a real flourish. (edit) Elliot: Plus, according to county statue, all medical facilities in this region are required to provide single-sex bathrooms and change-rooms for their employees. Put that in your suggestion box and smoke it!
Dr. Kelso: Dammit. Where'd she learn all that legal mumbo-jumbo? (edit)

This episode first features Kit Pongetti as Dr. Mitchell who is doing a research fellowship (lasting 15 to 25 years). She is given a new role in Season 7, as Lady, The Janitor's girlfriend. (edit) J.D., Dr. Cox and Elliot were the only regular characters that didn't sing during the musical number. (edit) After Elaine died, nobody called her time of death. (edit) In this episode, the Janitor calls J.D. "Scooter", which is a nickname given to him in an earlier episode ("My Nickname"). (edit) When Turk and JD are in Ralphie's room in the scene where Ralphie eats the ring, in some shots Turk's rubber glove is over his watch, in others, it's not. (edit)

Dr. Cox: (To J.D.) Oh my God, you MUST stop watching The Lion King!

"The Lion King" is a 1994 Disney film. It is the third highest grossing animated film of all time. (edit)
