Scrubs: My T.C.W.

« prev episode next » episode

J.D. flirts with the wife of a patient who's been in a coma for the past two years, whom they all call T.C.W. (Tasty Coma Wife). He feels guilty for doing that, even though she wants to go ahead with it.
Meanwhile, he can't stand listening to any more relationship problems, as everybody dumps their issues on his ears: Elliot, sabotaging her relationship with Paul over beef jerky, Carla, finding out her engagement ring passed through a patient's digestive system and Dr. Cox's unsucessful attempts to get some attention from Jordan, who can only think about her baby right now.

In this episode Dr Kelso tells the janitor that someone has vomited on the third, fourth and fifth hallway. However it is apparent the hospital only has 4 floors. Floor 1 is the lobby area, Floor 2 is CCU, Floor 3 is pediatrics (although never seen, just told about it)
Floor 4 is mainly the nurse stations and ICU. Floor 5 does not exist, and therefore would be the roof, however there is no hallway on the roof... edit »

Jamie: So, it's cold outside - you wanna come back to my place?
J.D.: Uhh... Honestly, I think you--you might be moving a little fast for yourself. And there's a part of me that's very angry I just said that.
Jamie: I'm so sick of being alone, you know?
J.D.: I'll tell you what, if you look me in the eyes and you tell me that you're really ready to start something right now... we won't even need a cab - I will, like, I will throw you over my shoulder and just sprint the twelve miles to your house! edit »
Jamie: ...Kiss me.
J.D.: I could do that.
Jamie: Mm! You went left! Very cool.
J.D.'s Narration: Thank you, Rowdy! edit »
Jamie: Thank you so much for dinner.
J.D.: You're welcome.
Jamie: But what was the deal with tipping twenty dollars on a thirty dollar bill?
J.D.: Ah, nothing. I just-I love Chinese food... and... the Asian people! edit »
Carla: I can't believe you, Bambi!
Turk: She is so right, man.
Elliot: What are you thinking!?
Dr. Cox: Oh, Rin-Tin-Tin-Tin-Tin-Tin-Tin! edit »
J.D.: I decided to take Jamie out on a date.
Carla: Who?
Turk: You know - Tasty Coma Wife?
Elliot: No way!
Dr. Cox: Nice job, there, Hooch. I'll tell you what - you give me a little prep time, and I'll rig it so that the husband can come with ya. Honest to God, I'll have him sittin' up right next to ya, no problemo. Whatta you say? edit »

Dr. Cox: Apparently as a form of social protest, he chewed on and subsequently swallowed part of a Rolling Stones CD. I'll tell you what, there, Ralphie: They sold out for good once they started doing Ford commercials, you know what I'm saying?

Dr. Cox is referencing the Rolling Stones having their music played in a Ford commercial that began airing on January 6, 2003. It marked the first time the Stones had licensed a song for an automotive commercial. edit »
When Dr Cox calls JD Hooch, this is in reference to the film 'Turner and Hooch', which is later parodied in season 4 with a crazy doctor called 'Hooch'. edit »
