Season 4, Episode 20 -  Aired March 29, 2005

After scolding Dr. Cox for his bedside manner, Dr. Kelso treats a patient for the first time in decades. Meanwhile, J.D. and Elliot try to cheer up Turk and Carla as they continue to work through their marital problems.

Quote from Turk

J.D.: Hey, friend. I switched shift so we could hang out tonight.
Turk: Hell, yeah. There's no beer in the fridge. You know, we're gonna have to make a stop and pick up some Hooch.
Hooch: Yeah, Turk?
Turk: Sorry man, I was talking about the beer.
Hooch: That's no problem, buddy.
Turk: All right.
Hooch: Just seems like you could have said "beer". Yeah, it's much more a common word.
Turk: My bad. Won't happen again.
Hooch: "Won't happen again."
J.D.: You knew he was there, didn't you?
Turk: I couldn't help myself.

Quote from Turk

J.D.: The point is in the meantime it's important you don't spiral into depression, okay? So I'm taking you to a carnival downtown tonight. What do you say?
Turk: Dude, I can't go to a carnival, it reminds me of Carla.
J.D.: Why?
Turk: Dude, CARNIVAL. Remove the NIV, switch the A and L and you get Carla.
[fantasy: J.D. writes CARNIVAL above his head. He removes the NIL, switches the A & L, then joins it together.]
J.D.: Oh, my God, he's right.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: Perry, I am sick and tired of listening to people complain about being called fatties, dummies, boozers, losers, winos, tubbos, tokers, smokers and jamokers. Whatever the hell jamokers means.
Dr. Cox: I was actually saying jokers and had coffee cake in my mouth.
Dr. Kelso: Bottom line, unlike my masseuse Frida, you're not pretty enough to be this rough. Work on your bedside manner.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Cox: Say, Bobbo, when exactly was the last time you treated a patient?
[flashback to a Dr. Kelso with a full head or brown hair in a patient's room:]
Dr. Kelso: Now, you listen to me, Bettie. No mater how long it takes, we're gonna get through this.
Man: Congratulations Bob, they just named you chief of medicine.
Dr. Kelso: Bingo! Smell you later, Betty.
[present:]
Dr. Kelso: Fine, you want me to take a patient, I'll take a patient.
Dr. Cox: The Bobbotron is actually gonna try to connect with an other human being. This is so on. [whistles] Guys, it's so on.

Quote from Elliot

Carla: And I am not kidding you. My mom turns to the guidance counselor, and she says... [speaks Spanish].
[Elliot laughs]
Carla: You understood that?
Elliot: No, but I know when I'm supposed to laugh in any language.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: What we are dealing with are venostasis ulceres, most likely because of your weight.
Miss Goldman: Wow, you figured out that I'm fat. You're either a brilliant doctor, or every guy I've ever gone high school with.
Dr. Kelso: Okay, moving on. From the numbers I'm seeing on your fast and glucose and tryglicerines, I'm suspecting-
Miss Goldman: Metabolic syndrome?
Dr. Kelso: Yes. Now, this condition is not that rare.
Miss Goldman: One in five people have it.
Dr. Kelso: Stop doing that.
Miss Goldman: Why am I paying you to tell me things I've already figured out on my own?
Dr. Kelso: Maybe because I graduated first in my class at Stanford in 1972?
Miss Goldman: You graduated twelfth of your class in 1968.
Nurse Roberts: She Googled your ass.
Dr. Kelso: Laverne, I am not interested in your street lingo. What I am interested in is where she found that magic phone that keeps making me look like an idiot.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [on the phone] Hey, Elliot, do me a favor.
[at the hospital:]
Elliot: What do you mean, "say Hooch"?
Hooch: [with bloody surgical gloves] Oh my God, what? I'm a little busy.
Elliot: I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what's happening right now.
Hooch: Well, of course you're not. Because in your head, it's all about you, isn't it? Well no more. Say Hooch again, it will be the last thing you ever say.
J.D.: [laughing] He was mad, wasn't he? Oh, Hooch is crazy.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: Ask Betty why he's such a girly girl.
Elliot: Not now.
Dr. Cox: Do it now, do it now. Call her Betty.
Elliot: You're insane.
Dr. Cox: Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty, Betty.
Elliot: [on the phone with J.D.] Betty?
J.D.: Yeah.
Elliot: Oh, my god, it worked!

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: What is it Bob?
Dr. Kelso: When the hell did patients stop respecting us? I really tried to help that young woman and she she rolled over me like Enid's wheelchair over Baxter's tail. Enid was recently paralyzed, I haven't told anyone. Anyway, I couldn't handle a patient, so go ahead, take your shots.
Dr. Cox: I want to, Bob. I really do. But my first patient today was a snot-nosed little punk who wouldn't let me give him a rectal exam unless I said pretty please first. And I'm just not big on begging strangers to stick my hand up their butt. Not even in my private time.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

J.D.: [v.o.] You can never truly capture the past.
Barber: That will be $18.
Dr. Kelso: Oh, I'm not paying. I'm a doctor.
Barber: Yeah, we don't do that anymore. You're paying.
[Dr. Kelso gets up out of the barber's chair, still wearing the cape, and runs out of the shop]
J.D.: [v.o.] You still have to try, though. Because as a recently incarcerated doctor once said, nothing worth having comes easy.
