In the beginning of the cafeteria scene, the clock is on 12.05, but several minutes later, the clock's pointer still hasn't moved at all. edit »
When J.D. is going to give Rex ketchup, he takes the lid off, but when Elliot calls for it and J.D. throws it to her, the ketchuplid is on again. edit »
Featured Music:
"Sooner or Later" by Michael Tolcher/Emotion Project
"The Zoom Zoom Jingle" edit »
In this episode, J.D. explains that on burger day, there is only one bottle of ketchup for 75 employees. However, in other episodes (including 5.1, "My Intern's Eyes"), you can clearly see plain red plastic ketchup bottles on tables in the cafeteria. Why would there suddenly be only one bottle of ketchup, and why would it be a name brand bottle and not one of those plastic ones? edit »
The bottle of ketchup thrown between characters in the cafeteria reads "Heine" on the label. This is a play on "Heinz" tomato ketchup, and all of the labeling mimicks that used by Heinz on their ketchup bottles. edit »

Elliot's German:
Elliot says "och, verdammt nochmal, nimm meine Leute nich' auf den Arm, Carla." The translation in the subtitle is correct except they should have added "oh dammit" at the beginning. edit »
Alexander Gaberman, one of the stars of Bill Lawrence's previous show Spin City makes his second guest appearance on Scrubs as Sam Thompson. edit »

Jason: Did we do something wrong, Dr. Dorian?
J.D.: No, you guys are fine. You're doing a good job.
J.D.'s Narration: Still, good guy or not, there's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the perks.
J.D.: You know what, I want the laughter back! edit »
Dr. Cox: It's a rite of passage that you have to go through around here to be accepted.
Jordan: Oh my God! You actually did something nice for me!
Dr. Cox: No, no. No no no no no no no. It was a selfish act. If other people talk to you, you won't have to talk to me! edit »
Carla: So, Jordan, I heard Sam got you. Don't worry, he totally suckered me once.
Laverne: When I first started, I lent my car to a patient to go pick up her kids? Last time I ever saw that hotrod. edit »
Turk: Dude, get up - I gotta go to the bathroom.
J.D.'s Narration: As I went to the men's room with Turk, praying he only had to go onesies... edit »
J.D.: We were gonna do Multi-Ethnic Siamese Doctor Has a Fresca, but then Turk started getting on my case about my interns!
Turk: He's mad because they're sucking up to him. And I was sayin', Dude, that's the exact same thing you did with Dr. Cox.
J.D.: You know what? Put our right hand in front of your face... Now talk to it! edit »
