Lucy: How could you do that to me?
J.D.: I know you can't see it right now, but this is good for you.
Lucy: Yeah, as good as my mom's fish biscuits. They're bad.
J.D.: Ah. Look, Lucy, at- at some point, every doctor needs to learn about lost causes like Alan. I just thought I'd come along for the ride with you.
Lucy: Why?
J.D.: Because when it happened to me, there was no one around to talk to me about it after. If you're gonna survive as a doctor, you have to stop trying to change things you can't change.
Lucy: So I'm supposed to never try and help anybody like Alan?
J.D.: No. Because if you're gonna survive as a person, you can never stop trying to change things you can't change.
Lucy: My head hurts.
J.D.: Get used to it.
