Season 4, Episode 6 -  Aired October 12, 2004

After the death of his father, J.D. hopes Dr. Cox will come through for him when it's clear his brother, Dan (Tom Cavanagh), won't. Meanwhile, Turk refuses to visit a doctor despite feeling sick, and the Janitor plays mind games on Dr. Kelso.

Quote from Turk

Turk: [talking in his sleep] It's nice to meet you too, Chuck.
Carla: Oh, he's having one of his Love Connection dreams.
Turk: You sure? I'd love to go out with her again if you'll pay for it.
Carla: Buppy.
Turk: [waking up] Uh? What?
Carla: We've been looking all over for you.
Turk: Why? What did I miss?
[flashback to Carla and Molly meeting Chuck Woolery:]
Chuck Woolery: Bye, Carla. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet your husband.
Carla: Oh, I know.
Dr. Molly Clock: So, Mr. Woolery: what have you been doing since The Love Connection was cancelled?
Chuck Woolery: Love Connection was never cancelled. It's just not on TV anymore. I still do the occasional episode in my basement with singles from the neighborhood. I'm not crazy.
Carla: No. [chuckles]
[present:]
Turk: Aww, stupid nap.

Quote from Dan

J.D.: [v.o.] As for my family, we had our own way of breaking the news.
Dan: Hey, little brother.
J.D.: [v.o.] We did it with cake.
J.D.: What happened?
Dan: What, a guy can't take three days off work, travel eight hundred miles on a bus with a double-layer fudge cake just to say, "Hey, how're things?"
J.D.: Dan.
Dan: Dad died.
J.D.: There's ice cream in the fridge.

Quote from Dan

Turk: How you doing, buddy?
J.D.: I don't know it hasn't really hit me yet.
Dan: Oh, it will eventually. But don't worry when it does, Big Bro' will be there. [J.D. laughs] What? What is it?
J.D.: Dan, I love you, but being there for people isn't really yo' thang.
Dan: No, that was Old Dan. Look at me: this is New Dan! I'm totally here for you.
[cut to Dan drinking beers in the bathtub]
J.D.: Dan, you've been in here for, like, nine hours: you okay?
Dan: Well, I'd feel a lot better if you could give that ol' "H" knob there a little twist. Body temp's a bit low. [sighs] Now I can feel my tootsies.

Quote from Turk

Turk: I been a little sleepy these last couple of weeks, I've dropped a few pounds. I don't know, I think I've got the flu, baby.
Carla: No.
Turk: Yeah.
Carla: You're not allowed to get sick, you're my "Superman." I mean, if you're in bed, who's going to give me my back rubs, or unscrew the peanut butter jar, or walk around all day in my new high heels just to stretch them out.
Turk: She's kidding! I've never done that. Not in front of the Devil Woman.
Dr. Molly Clock: I got a new pair of pumps.
Turk: No.

Quote from Dan

J.D.: [v.o.] Whenever someone close to you dies, it's important to keep your head above water.
J.D.: Dan.
Dan: I'm up.
J.D.: You know, it wasn't exactly easy showering with you in there.
Dan: Well, it wasn't exactly easy for me, either. You have Dad's butt.
J.D.: You think you'll get out of the tub today?
Dan: Yeah, today doesn't look good by the way, could you get me another beer?
J.D.: No, look, I put a six-pack for you in the toilet.
Dan: Ooh.
J.D.: I gotta go to work!
Dan: Okay, little brother, call me if you need anything. I mean, anything from this particular area.

Quote from Ted

Ted: Look, Mr. Cannon, let's drop the forgetful act. Now, if you don't sign these papers, this hospital will discharge you, and then we'll see what you do and do not remember.
Dr. Kelso: The man has Alzheimer's, bozo.
Ted: It still won't smooth down.

Quote from Janitor

Dr. Kelso: He's not a day over fifty-five and he has Alzheimer's. Really makes you think, doesn't it?
Janitor: You're over fifty-five, aren't you, sir?
Dr. Kelso: What's your point?
Janitor: Nothing.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] Even though I deal with death every time I walk into this place, I never dealt with it from this side before. It's full of surprises, whether it's a small gesture from a co-worker...
[The Janitor moves out of the way and respectfully lets J.D. pass in the hospital entrance]
J.D.: [v.o.] or a big gesture from someone you've never even met before.
Chuck Woolery: Walk tall, kiddo.
J.D.: [v.o.] Of course sometime it's a little awkward even with an old friend.
Elliot: Hey.
J.D.: Hey.
Elliot: I just wanted to...
J.D.: Yeah.
Elliot: Look...
J.D.: Thanks.
Elliot: 'Kay.
J.D.: 'Kay.

Quote from Carla

Turk: I gotta pee.
Carla: Don't you think it's weird you've already gone seven times today?
Turk: I think it's weird you're counting.
Carla: It's impossible to get a doctor to go see a doctor.

Quote from Turk

[In the bathroom, Turk lines his head up to afro drawn on the mirror:]
Turk: Excuse me. Did somebody say they're looking for the baddest detective in town?
Dr. Molly Clock: Awesome afro.
