Quotes

add »
Elliot: I... I can't do this.
J.D.: Okay, less tongue, less tongue. (edit)
J.D.'s Narration: Hopefully, you see yourself in time to make a change.
Carla: Unfortunately, we're not comfortable discharging you just yet. I'm really, really sorry.
J.D.'s Narration: And hopefully you'll be respected for it.
Mr. Woodbury: You evil little witch! (edit)
Elliot: Dr. Cox. I just wanted to let you know that Turk did the right thing by taking my patients off of my service.
Dr. Cox: Noooo. What that yellow-bellied scalpel jock should have done was to go down to Surgery and schedule himself for an early morning add-a-pair-tomy. That way, if it took, he'd have the stones to at least come and talk to you next time he had a problem.
Elliot: I just can't seem to stop letting my life out there affect my life in here, you know?
Dr. Cox: Well, hell, Barbie... look at me. It's not like I've always been the centered, well-adjusted guy-smiley you see walking up and down the halls of this dump; I mean, stuff like that takes time. But, eventually, you learn to keep your personal problems separate from this place.
Elliot: So, what do I do until then?
Dr. Cox: You get your damn life in order... Oh, and, Barbie? Let's say word were to get out that Uncle Cox was doling out the feel goods? I'll make ya pay - ya have no idea. Huge! (edit)
J.D. comes up to Turk, grabs the basketball, and kicks it off the lot.
Turk: Apologize.
J.D.: Apologize to you?
Turk: No. To Richard - that was his basketball.
J.D. turns to see a large staffer with an angry expression
J.D.: Hello, Richard. I'll tell you what: Tomorrow, at lunch, I'll-I'll-I'll bring you a new basketball... And a hoagie. (edit)
Dr. Kelso: Ah, maybe Mr. Woodbury will be fine. Maybe he'll be back here in a few days even worse for wear because you rushed him out. Who knows? But, darn it all, though, if what I don't think is the bigger question, is why you even give a hoot?
Carla: Well, actually, sir, I have this little problem with caring for my patients.
Dr. Kelso: Still, if you decide later that what you really care about is how much your patients like you, you can always change your mind about letting Mr. Woodbury leave. Hell, I'll even back you up. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Look closely:
Around 06:10-06:20 (right after Dr. Kelso waves his chief of staff tag around) J.D.'s name tag keeps magically popping on and off him between scenes. (edit)
Featured Music:
"Tell Her This" by Del Amitri
"Notre Dame Fight Song" (edit)
Elliot is revealed to be a Republican. (edit)
Bill Lawrence says in the audio commentary that he threw in the baby freaking out about circumcision because his wife (Christa Miller Lawrence) is very against it in real life. (edit)
A trumpet fanfare plays in the background everytime someone says "sex buddy". That happens four times throughout the episode. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Dr. Cox refers to Elliot and Turk as "The Wonder Twins". The Wonder twins were a set of paternal twins (boy and girl) who joined the justice league. They had rings that when connected allowed the girl to change into any animal and the boy into anything made of water. (edit)
