‘My Day at the Races’

Season 5, Episode 3 -  Aired January 10, 2006

As J.D. approaches his thirtieth birthday, he feels he's getting nowhere in life. Meanwhile, Turk decides to make a splash by operating on a patient under hypnosis, and Elliot is fed up of her superficial friendship with J.D.

Quote from Turk

Elliot: Uh, the fellowship's great.
Elliot: [v.o.] Oh, God, Carla, please don't tell them I'm working at a free clinic.
Carla: [v.o.] I sense she doesn't want me to tell them. Women have an unspoken connection men can't even fathom.
J.D.: [v.o.] Dude, I know you can't look because Carla's here, but you're missing a crazy Victoria's Secret commercial.
Turk: [v.o.] I'm watching Gisele in my spoon right now.

Quote from J.D.

Turk: You know, you two could solve both of your problems if you moved in together.
Elliot: Whoa, whoa, whoa and whoa!
J.D.: Hold your horses!
Elliot: We have a very complicated past.
J.D.: Yeah, I hurt her, and I'm not proud.
J.D.: [v.o.] I'm a little proud.
Elliot: We've managed to restore our friendship by staying away from dangerous topics.
J.D.: You know, relationships, things of that nature.
Elliot: J.D. and I keep it superficial.
J.D.: Love the superficial. Dynamite teeth today.
Elliot: Oh, thanks, buddy!
J.D.: Sparkly!

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] Since there were 12 surgical residents at Sacred Heart fighting for four attending spots, Turk was ass-kissing the senior staff.
Dr. Wen: Oh, damn, I left my briefcase upstairs.
Turk: Excuse me a second.
J.D.: [v.o.] Turk thought he was the only one who heard that.
[outside the hospital:]
Turk: Dr. Wen! Dr. Wen! I've got your brief-
J.D.: [v.o.] He was not.
[fantasy: Turk and Todd team up to fight a gang of surgeons as "Kung Fu Fighting" plays]

Quote from J.D.

Turk: Dude, look at you. Thirty years old, all growed up.
J.D.: Oh, really, Turk? Because the Sacred Heart sign I vandalized last night begs to differ.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Hey, remember when we were in college and we made lists of all the stuff we wanted to do by the time we turned 30?
Turk: Yeah.
J.D.: Check it.
Turk: "Things to do by 30: Get married, buy a house, learn difference between senator and congressman." Dude, you haven't done any of these yet.
J.D.: I know. But who cares? I got all the time in the world. I mean, I'm only turning 30.
Girl: Thirty? No one's 30.
J.D.: Where did all these unsupervised children come from?

Quote from J.D.

Turk: Dude, you haven't done anything on this list. How have you never slept naked on a hammock?
J.D.: I'm afraid of dragonflies.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: You know, I'm not gonna make a big deal out of this. Neither one of us has made any headway with our lists.
Turk: First of all, don't lump me in with you 'cause I'm a surgeon, I'm married, I've had sex while playing Frogger, and I'm gonna be a dad. I'm through my list.
J.D.: I've done nothing. I mean, I have learned another language, but it was just that one where you put a "b" sound in the middle of every word. And I was never fluent.
Turk: That secret language was so lame.
J.D.: Nobba with the ladie-bb-ys!

Quote from Elliot

Jake: Elliot, I don't think I understand what you want.
Elliot: I just want you to open up, you know, emotionally, spiritually.
Jake: Well, I'm not exactly religious, you know, but I do think that God watches after my family and, well, my favorite sports teams. Oh, and once in tenth grade, He made Jennifer Martin sleep with me.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Carla: Why are you so pissy?
J.D.: Carla, at 6:41 tomorrow evening, I turn 30. I have to find one thing on this list I can do by then.
Dr. Cox: Maybe you can swing by our parts department and pick up a pair of testes.
J.D.: Haven't you used that joke, like, a trillion times?
Dr. Cox: I'm OK with it.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Carla: "Invent a cereal"? "Complete a triathlon"?
Dr. Cox: There's a triathlon tomorrow. Thing One and Thing Two have been training for it.
Doug: We're working on our drafting technique.
Dr. Cox: If your goal is to repel all women on the planet, it's definitely working.
Ted: Ignoring him. And switch.
