‘My Cabbage’

Season 5, Episode 12 -  Aired February 28, 2006

When J.D. decides to get tough on his interns, his antipathy towards Keith blinds him from seeing Cabbage's incompetence. Dr. Kelso is worried about the risk of infection when the Janitor keeps a crow in the hospital. Meanwhile, Elliot and Turk agree to pass on a dying father's message to his twin sons.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] Time to give Keith a little treat.
J.D.: Hey, Todd. My buddy, Keith, here says you're no good at rat-tailing.
Todd: Oh, really? [Todd "rat-tails" J.D. with his towel]
J.D.: Ah!
Todd: There! Tell him I'm good.
J.D.: Oh, he's good, Keith. Really good.
Keith: Thanks for the warning.

Quote from J.D.

Jason: Hey, Dr. Dorian.
J.D.: Hey, Jason. We need to talk. Look, you're not progressing as fast as the other interns, and you've been making a lot of mistakes lately.
Jason: I know what you're gonna say. I really am suspended for two weeks. But I promise I'll do much better when I come back.
J.D.: Yeah, about coming back...

Quote from Elliot

J.D.: [v.o.] Dr. Cox was right. Things do happen for a reason. Like going through a horrible experience with a friend can remind you of how much you missed hanging out together.
Turk: "A woman to find a man to find a woman."
Elliot: [laughs] Excuse me for a sec. [dials phone]
Turk: [phone ringing] Incoming call from Elliot Reid?
Elliot: You're on speed dial, baby.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] In Cabbage's case, as much as I was gonna miss him, I was just lucky to get rid of him before he really hurt someone.
[Cabbage picks up a used surgical glove that was lying on the floor and puts it in the medical waste bin. We see his hand glowing green. Before leaving, he goes into Mrs. Wilk's room as she packs up her things.]
Jason: You've always been really nice to me and I wanted to say thanks and goodbye.
[After Jason and Mrs. Wilk shake hands, her hand also glows]
Mrs. Wilk: Oh, goodbye, young man.
[As Cabbage leaves, Mrs. Wilk holds her glowing green hands to her chest and then to her mouth, which causes her entire face to glow.]
