‘My Fifteen Seconds’

Season 3, Episode 7 -  Aired November 20, 2003

J.D.'s relationship with Danni (guest star Tara Reid) seems to be going well, much to the annoyance of Dr. Cox. When J.D. and Dr. Cox treat Jill Tracy (Nicole Sullivan), they find they don't have much time to listen to their patient. Meanwhile, Dr. Kelso goes temporarily deaf because of cheap stethoscopes, and Elliot snaps at Carla after her medical advice backfires.

Quote from J.D.

Jordan: Sweetie, you can't take this personally. He's a doctor. They don't listen to anyone.
Dr. Cox: Please don't lump us all together with numb-nuts over here.
Jordan: Oh, really? This morning I asked you to do me a favor involving my mother. What was it?
Dr. Cox: Well, I can only hope that it had something to do with hiring people to kill her?
Jordan: Oh, come on. You know what? I hope you guys listen better to your patients.
J.D.: [v.o.] And for some reason, right then, we both knew how those pesticides had gotten in our patient's system.

Quote from Jill Tracy

J.D.: [v.o.] I guess the problem with only listening to a patient for fifteen seconds is, sometimes you don't hear everything and when you finally realize what they were trying to say, you might've lost them forever.
J.D.: Ms. Tracy.
Jill Tracy: Hey, guys!
J.D.: We need to talk.
Jill Tracy: About what?
Dr. Cox: How have things been going lately?
Jill Tracy: Okay? Why, uh- Ah. Actually it has, uh, been a couple of rough months.
Dr. Cox: Come on, Jill. Come on.
J.D.: [v.o.] You can never underestimate the importance of listening.

Quote from Jordan

J.D.: [v.o.] Even though Dr. Cox got a front-row look at Little Buddy - O, no! Now I'm saying it! - my day still started off great.
Dr. Cox: I'm about to set a new distance record for projectile vomiting.
Jordan: Come on. It reminds me of my sexiest kiss: Our honeymoon, standing waist-deep in the ocean. I think you were in at the bar.
Dr. Cox: Okay, gotta go.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: You know, I hit my head so hard I actually saw cartoon birds. Then I realized I was in Pediatrics and it was just the wallpaper!
Dr. Cox: Ha. Stunning.

Quote from Jill Tracy

Dr. Cox: What brings Ms. Tracy to us?
J.D.: Oh, uh, her landlord found her passed out on her floor.
Jill Tracy: Yeah, lucky me, I couldn't pay my rent this month.
J.D.: [v.o.] A recent study found that doctors spend an average of fifteen seconds listening to a patient. It sounds insensitive, but the truth is it's all the time you need.
Dr. Cox: So, how you feel?
Jill Tracy: Awesome!
Dr. Cox: Ms. Tracy.
Jill Tracy: Headachy, nauseous, and embarrassed that my landlord saw me in my granny panties.
Dr. Cox: Oh, dear. We're gonna run some tests and figure this out.
Jill Tracy: I'll be here.

Quote from Jill Tracy

Dr. Cox: Boy, oh boy, that's some rock. When, uh, when's the big day?
Jill Tracy: Oh, me? No, no, never. My fiance dumped me. I'm just noticing how beautiful his mother's ring is. You know, compared to the fake one I sent back to him. Oops!
J.D.: Ms. Tracy, we found some organophosphates in your system. Have you had any recent exposure to pesticides?
Jill Tracy: Pesticides? No, I don't have any pest problems.
Dr. Cox: Oh, God, that must be so nice.
J.D.: They're just feelings, they'll heal.
Dr. Cox: Don't worry. We're on top of this.
Jill Tracy: Oh... Bye.

Quote from Todd

Todd: Dude, my broccoli is hot.
Turk: Please tell me you mean temperature-wise because there is no way you can find broccoli sexy.
Todd: Oh, yeah. Temperature-wise. And mini green boobs-wise! What's up!

Quote from Janitor

Janitor: Hey, Dr. Kelso. Hey, Dr. Kelso. Uh, I don't know if you heard or not, but Bernice, the lady who does the PA announcements usually, she just got hit by a bus. And, um, I was on the speech team in high school so, anyway, I was thinking that maybe from now on, I could do the announcements. You know, just until Bernice gets back on her foot.
Dr. Kelso: Splendid!

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] Dr. Cox seems to be having fun but I think I know why.
[fantasy: Dr. Cox is playing a Whack-a-mole game with J.D.'s head as the target:]
Dr. Cox: Whack a Newbie! Whack a Newbie! Whack a Newbie!

Quote from Jordan

Jordan: So, we're gonna go eat some more disgusting fried food and then look at the fat lady to make ourselves feel better.
