Season 2, Episode 22 -  Aired April 17, 2003

At the end of their second year, the residents are starting to feel the pressure of their jobs. J.D. and Turk get a chance to lighten up when their college friend Spence (guest star Ryan Reynolds) comes to visit. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox learns the truth about Jordan's baby, and Dr. Kelso tries to break Elliot's spirit.

Quote from Todd

Carla: No, you didn't.
Elliot: I did. And now every time I turn around, Dr. Kelso's riding me.
Todd: I've got next. What's up? No one? Self-five. For the big dog.

Quote from Carla

Carla: Look, Elliot, I've seen this before. Kelso starts to worry he's not scary, so he picks somebody to be his bitch. Who he picks is totally random. You know, unless you throw a needle in his face.

Quote from Elliot

Jordan: OK, I didn't tell you the kid was yours and you're upset. I get it. But you seem to be making a really big deal out of this. Is there something else that's bothering you?
Dr. Cox: It's mostly just the kid thing.
Jordan: I told you I didn't want you to feel pressured to be with me. I didn't want you to feel manipulated.
Dr. Cox: Jordan, I am so, so sorry, but no matter what you say, you don't have a leg to stand on.
Carla: Yeah, I don't know about that, Perry. Sounds like she's trying to protect your relationship.
Elliot: Yeah, I mean, some mothers say the only way to get a guy to marry you is by using pregnancy as a trap.
Dr. Cox: What?
Elliot: Stupid mothers who got even meaner when they stopped drinking.

Quote from Turk

J.D.: Do you have any idea what it feels like to have a janitor make more than you?
Spence: Johnny. Investment banker. So, no. [Turk throws that bag of chips at Spence's face] Why, Christopher?
Turk: Hey, so I've saved up, like, 500 bucks. Where would you put that if you were me?
Spence: I don't know. A wallet, a money clip. Hey, you could get Schmitty and Dan a wedding gift. Dan wants a ferret.
J.D.: Oh, ferrets are nice.
Turk: They're mean.

Quote from J.D.

Spence: See, now, this is the proper way to lay low. I mean, honestly, does it get any better?
Turk: No, it does not.
[fantasy: J.D. pulls off Turk's ear and eats it as "The Candy Man" plays]
Turk: Why do you keep looking at me like that?

Quote from Ted

Dr. Kelso: Those sutures look awful, don't you think, Ted? I don't know, sir.
Ted: Yes? No? I'm barely here.

Quote from Jordan

Dr. Cox: I can't believe you didn't tell me.
Jordan: And while we're coming completely clean, Perry, I'm not actually the girl they're singing about in My Sharona. Her name's Sharona.
Dr. Cox: You're making jokes?
Jordan: I just want this to be OK.
Dr. Cox: Jordan, don't get me wrong. I wanna be with the kid. I'm damn sure gonna be with the kid. But as far as you and I go I just don't see us working out.

Quote from J.D.

Spence: Nothing like cold beers in a Jacuzzi. Am I right, Ed?
Ed: Ah, some days I just sit out here for hours, downing cold one after cold one.
J.D.: What do you do when you have to pee?

Quote from J.D.

Spence: [pager beeps] You guys have to go to work?
J.D.: No, it's just a stupid intern.
Turk: Besides, the only way we'd have to go in is if there was some catastrophe.
[meanwhile, Doug is watching the TV in the break room:]
Newscaster: [v.o.] In breaking news, there's been a multiple car pile-up on the throughway.
[back:]
J.D.: Plus, the two guys on call would have to be simultaneously incapacitated.
[at the hospital:]
Doug: This is my chance to shine.
Todd: What's up, chica? [Doug runs into The Todd] Whoa! Oh, God!

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] Part of being a doctor is learning to deal with the unexpected. Whether it's someone who won't take no for an answer.
Jordan: Yeah, I've decided not to accept the being-dumped thing. I'm just gonna hang around until you forgive me.
J.D.: [v.o.] Or being shaken to your very core. Of course, sometimes it's just having to work in wet grundies.
