‘My Clean Break’

Season 3, Episode 11 -  Aired February 3, 2004

J.D. decides it's time to break things off with Danni (Tara Reid), but he's never broken up with anyone before. Dr. Cox realizes he's actually happy for once, which changes his whole personality at the hospital. Meanwhile, Dr. Kelso tells Elliot her new look is unprofessional.

Quote from Jordan

J.D.: [knocks] Hello?
Jordan: Little piece of advice. Your honker's cute in person. Peep-hole? Not your friend.
J.D.: Ha. I'm sorry, did I interrupt you from trying to eat your baby?

Quote from J.D.

Jordan: Danni's not here.
J.D.: Look, do you know how hard it was for me to come here?
[flashback to Turk tackling J.D. as he got ready to leave the hospital:]
Turk: Gotcha!
J.D.: Oh, God.
Turk: Not getting up until you come to your senses.
Turk: Get your coffee on, dawg.
[reality:]
J.D.: Say what you want, those big round cheeks are warm in the morning.
Jordan: What?

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: I'm pretty much thinking it's time to get the fear back. And I'm sorry, but I think life is just too short to spend your time working someplace where people don't crap their pants at the mere sight of you.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Hey, Chocolate Bear. I didn't have time to shower this morning. Did you wax your dome?
Turk: I sure did! Why?
[J.D. rubs his hands across Turk's head, then runs his hands through his own hair to style it]
J.D.: Thanks, pal!
Turk: Uh-huh.
J.D.: Hold up! [runs hands across Turk's head, then his lips] Chapped!
Turk: Easy, Moose, that stuff is forty bucks a tin.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] With the long hours at a hospital, you don't have time to worry about your appearance. It may sound sexist, but with the female doctors, it's slightly more noticeable.
J.D.: Hey, Janice. Is it windy out?
Janice: No. Why do you always ask me that!?
J.D.: Because I'm- I'm captain of m-m-my kite-flying team? The M-m-mighty Kites?
[J.D. turns around to see two female nurses]
J.D.: [v.o.] Agh! Okay, just say something innocuous.
J.D.: Good morning, gentlemen.

Quote from Elliot

J.D.: [v.o.] The truth is most of them don't even bother trying. ... Except of course...
Elliot: Hey, girlfriends!
J.D.: How do you have the time to look so good every morning?
[flashback to Elliot waking at 5am to apply make-up and do her hair]
Elliot: Oh, this? Heh. Yeah, it doesn't take long.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Married With Children? Awesome! Has Kelly been on yet?
Turk: Here she comes.
[J.D. and Turk cheer as the TV audience cheer]
J.D.: Anyway, where's Danni? We're gonna be late for our movie.
[J.D. and Turk cheer as Danni enters the room in a skimpy outfit]

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: I just can't believe how comfortable I've gotten talking to you over these last few months. I mean, look, I'd still be with my old shrink if I hadn't cut across the park the day of the renaissance faire and realized that the man I tell my innermost secrets to likes to... likes to put on a big, giant beard and make pretend that he is a blacksmith. A-a-a-anyway, something weird's been going on with me lately. I have been sleeping more, I've been drinking alone less. I've even started complimenting people.

Quote from Janitor

Elliot: Dr. Cox never compliments me about anything.
Janitor: Well, he should. Your new look has completely changed my perspective. For instance, this is not a broom with fraying edges. This is now a broom that reminds me of blonde doctor's bangs. Tough and spunky.
Elliot: Oh, my God. That is exactly the look that I was going for.
Janitor: Really!?
Elliot: Yeah!
[Elliot and the Janitor jump up an down in excitement]
Janitor: Shoobity-doo. Hey, how 'bout I give you a ride to your next destination?
Elliot: To the morgue.

Quote from Elliot

Elliot: Oh, Mrs. Gorski, I know shingles are never fun. Unless you're talking about the games we made up the summer my parents got a new roof. It was kind of like Hide & Seek, only we'd throw shingles at each other? Ah, summer time. Still a positive attitude can go a long way in helping you feel better, so let's see a big ol' smile.
Dr. Kelso: Excuse me. Can I borrow Dr. Reid?
Mrs. Gorski: You may keep her.
