Season 6, Episode 20 -  Aired May 10, 2007

Turk tries to get J.D.'s mind off Elliot by taking him to a convention in Phoenix. Dr. Cox gives Elliot something to think about when he turns down an invitation to her wedding. Meanwhile, with Dr. Kelso also in Arizona, the Janitor takes on the role of Chief of Medicine.

Quote from Turk

Turk: Okay, when the lecture starts, I'll start to choke and then you yell: "Is there a doctor in the house?"
J.D.: That's gonna kill. Just be careful, don't really choke, that wouldn't be funny.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Do you think if Elliot and I were still dating we'd be getting married?
Turk: Dude, you gotta turn this off, alright? We are on vacation, there are plenty of hot girls here. And single.
J.D.: Turk, Elliot getting married is a big deal for me. There's not just one girl who's gonna make me stop thinking about it.
Kim: [addressing conference] Good afternoon. I'm Dr. Briggs, and I'm lecturing on the use of high dose radiation therapy in prostate cancer.
J.D.: [v.o.] Except maybe the last girl I was in love with.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: I can't believe Kim's here. I guess I have to go talk to her.
Turk: And why is that a bad thing?
J.D.: Uh, we've never spoken since the miscarriage.
Turk: She looks good. I think her boobs got bigger.
J.D.: Really? Let me see. [holds hands out] Yeah, you're right. Check it!
J.D.: [v.o.] As we sat there air-groping my ex, I wondered how things were going back at the hospital.

Quote from Dr. Cox

J.D.: [v.o.] Elliott was probably still giddy about her engagement.
Dr. Cox: So let me ask you this there, Barb. Do you really wanna marry Keith? Or do you just want to get married?

Quote from J.D.

Kim: [to conference] Uh, okay. That's that's all I've got. Thanks for barely listening.
J.D.: Do you think she still thinks about me?
[When Kim walks out from behind the lectern, it's clear she is heavily pregnant]
Turk: Probably.
Kim: Are there any questions?
J.D.: [raises hand]

Quote from Kim

Kim: Sorry. Okay, too soon for laughter, I know that you must be really upset.
J.D.: Upset is just one of the emotions I'm feeling, Kim. How could you do this to me?
Kim: I don't know. My hormones went crazy. And I was scared and I thought that we were only together because I was pregnant. And so, I lied and I pushed you out the door and then I got really angry that you left me.
J.D.: Were you ever planning on telling me?
Kim: Yes, of course. Yes. I just hadn't figured out how yet. I mean, what can I possibly say?
J.D.: I don't know. How about: "J.D., I think there might be something living in my uterus".
Kim: I know I made a huge mistake. And I'm so, so sorry. I'd just backed myself into this corner and I didn't know how to get out and... You know what? No more excuses. I did a horrible thing. I don't expect you to forgive me.
J.D.: Well, good, because I'm not going to.
Kim: You probably hate me right now because I hate myself. But it was really good seeing you and and I thought I can do this on my own, but I can't. I'm alone and I'm terrified, and I have no right to ask you for this, but I could really use some help. Crap salad, I gotta go give another lecture. I just need forty minutes and... Please stay. Promise me that you'll just stay, and we can talk about this.
J.D.: Fine. But I'm not doing it for you.
Kim: Fair enough.

Quote from J.D.

Bartender: I'm sorry sir, we don't have appletinis. But I could make you a peachtini.
J.D.: That's a little foofy for my taste. A beer is fine. With a pineapple wedge, please.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: I'm just so mad, I literally don't know what to say to her. [Old MC walks by] Don't you dare! Part of me wants to talk to her, part of me wants to-
Old MC: Bust a move?
J.D.: You have a problem, sir! Seek help!

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: Oh, say, Barbie, I'm gonna go ahead and ask you one more time. May I please, please, use your practice's SPECT camera?
Elliot: Sure, whatever.
Dr. Cox: That's great. 'cause I've actually already used it.
Elliot: I don't care. And don't worry about coming to my wedding, because there probably won't be one.
Dr. Cox: Look, I love it that after six years I can still mess with your head. It is both a testament to my commitment and a glaring statement about your mental fragility. But still, as much as it pains me to say it, there's nothing I did or said that had any real impact on your relationship with the future Mr. Barbie.
Elliot: Yeah, but I got all crazy and went off on him.
Dr. Cox: Of course you did, you're a woman. Sure, you do come with a little extra crazy, but what the heck, that's what makes you, you. Listen to me, Keith isn't going to care, he's not.
Elliot: Why are you being so nice to me?
[flashback:]
Jordan: Lay off The Stick or I'll wait till you're asleep and I will cheesegrate your nerps.
[present:]
Dr. Cox: Because sometimes I like to do nice things without being coerced.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] Turk was giving me the silent treatment because I had taken Old MC's advice over his. I had busted a move, and left.
Kim: Oh, no. I'm saving this for someone. He's should be here any minute.
J.D.: [v.o.] And yeah, I still have doubts about my decision.
