J.D.: [v.o.] Part of me hates how familiar this seems. I hope I can find a way to make this all feel new.
Lucy: [v.o.] Oh, my god. The first day of med school. Everything is so new. I mean, just look at all these people who don't know that I used to wear a back brace. I can look left. Yep, new sights, new sounds, even new smells.
Lucy: Kiwi.
Denise: What?
Lucy: I smell kiwi.
Denise: Yeah, it's my shampoo. I love kiwis, okay?
Lucy: I love them, too! Actually, that's not true. They're hairy. They look like monkey nuts.
Denise: Don't smell people. It's weird.
Lucy: I'm Lucy.
Denise: I don't care!

Ben: I'm a frequent flier.
Lucy: Congrats, I guess.
Ben: No, no, no. That means I'm in and out of the hospital a lot.
Lucy: Oh.
Ben: Ben. Ischemic bowel disease.
Lucy: Lucy. I'm a med student.
Ben: You look like you could use a grape.
Lucy: Thanks, Ben. I really could.
Dr. Cox: No stealing food from patients. [Ben throws Lucy a grape] Gather 'round, murderers. Gather 'round. I saw that. Spit it out. Now eat it again. At least we know you're a good listener.
Lucy: [v.o.] Score!

Lucy: [v.o.] I was so depressed yesterday to cheer myself up, I made what I think is a great decision. Sometimes one perfect night can change your whole outlook on life.
[Cole is asleep next to Lucy. As she gets out of bed naked and bends over, Cole perks up and snaps a picture with his camera phone]
Lucy: [v.o.] Yep. I've got a good feeling about this guy.

Lucy: [v.o.] My dad always says every day is a new day. So today I'm gonna be confident, strong, and nothing will knock me off my game. [Dr. Cox groans] Oh, who am I kidding? I'm doomed.

Lucy: Dr. Cox. Dr. Professor Cox? I actually knew the answers to all your questions. Check it out. Pulmonary embolism, Pott's disease And dikembe mutombo.
Dr. Cox: That's fabulous. I dot care.
Lucy: It's just that you kept yelling, and you had that vein thing popping out the side of your head. There it is. And sometimes I get nervous under pressure, and I forget basic... You know, the things that you speak.
Dr. Cox: Words?
Lucy: Yes, words. People speak words.
Dr. Cox: Look, when you have a patient coding on the table, what, are you gonna tell the whole room to stop screaming so that you don't get nervous?
Lucy: No.
Dr. Cox: Oh, I know that face. You're a crier. You cry.
Lucy: I have not cried once in my entire adult life, and I am not gonna start now because of you.
Dr. Cox: We'll see.
Lucy: And, Dr. Cox? If you do make me cry, it won't be a big deal, because I lied. I cry all the time.
Dr. Cox: Oh, good God.

J.D.: [v.o.] Little victories count for a lot around here, even if you never asked to win in the first place.
Dr. Cox: [whistles] Congrats. I am now going to expect more from you than I've expected from a med student ever.
Drew: [to himself] Whore.
J.D.: [v.o.] And you have to enjoy those nice moments while you can.
J.D.: This is your group's cadaver for the semester.
J.D.: [v.o.] Because around here, they never last very long.
J.D.: Treat him well.
Drew: I wonder what this guy's deal was.
Lucy: Ben. His name was Ben.

Lucy: I know people like Alan. I grew up with them. My Uncle Frank is always drunk. He fought the entire band at my cousin's wedding.
J.D.: Okay, look. Alan's an addict, so the first thing you need to do Is make sure he's ready for help.
Lucy: I can't talk to him about stuff that personal. I get embarrassed too easily. I've never seen myself nude. I mean, I've been nude, but I never look down.
J.D.: Weird for a doctor, but okay, fine. Look, Lucy, you have to find a way to connect with him.

Alan: I like your perfume.
Lucy: That's weird, because I've never worn perfume in my entire life. Also, I've never seen myself naked. You know, that was part of an earlier conversation.
Alan: Are you okay?
Lucy: I'm not great, Alan. Med school is tough. I don't sleep, and I haven't eaten anything a week except yogurt and wine.
Alan: Maybe you should take a-
Lucy: Alan, I'm not done.

Lucy: Man, that was a great cry. I always feel fantastic after those. Hello, world, Lucy's back. Am I right
Alan: Well, you definitely gave me something to work with.
Lucy: Wow. I mean, my forehead's really big and I look Chinese, but that's really good.
Alan: Thank you. I used to teach high-school art.
Lucy: Oh, my God. He's opening up.
Alan: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was married, too, before everything fell apart. I tell you what, though. I definitely don't want to live this way anymore.
Lucy: Maybe you don't have to.

Lucy: Look, Alan wants to change, so I found him a rehab facility. I just need a doctor to sign off. Are you in? [Snoop Dogg Attending shakes his head]
Lucy: [v.o.] And that was the beginning of a long line of "nos." I asked all the doctors in the hospital, and they all shot me down.
Todd: Naive-five!
