Quote from Todd
Todd: Well, why wouldn't you want a better job?
Turk: Hold up. My baby's happy with being just a nurse. Did I say "just a nurse"? Nobody at this table said "just." I meant "a nurse." Right, baby?
Carla: That's right.
Todd: Why?
Dr. Cox: Oh, just not smart. Even for you.
Quote from Carla
Carla: Excuse me for not having all your male ambition. I can't believe anyone would look down on me because I'm good at what I do and because I love doing it.
Turk: I'm sick to my stomach.
Carla: Me too, Turk. Me too.
Turk: No, baby, I'm serious. I think I'm in trouble here.
Quote from Dr. Cox
Dr. Cox: My mechanic has that poster in his garage.
Julie: Does he have this one?
Dr. Cox: Actually, it's a family business.
Julie: So, here we are. Two people, street lamp, full moon.
Dr. Cox: Guy pissing on the dumpster. Oh, did I break the mood?
Quote from J.D.
J.D.: You see that nurse over there? I love her. Every night at 10.30 for the last year, I've watched her come in here and get a cup of coffee and not once have I had the courage to even ask her her name.
Elliot: Well, if it makes you feel any better, she has a snaggletooth.
J.D.: The point is, Kelso's right, you know. It's not even just professionally. In my personal life, I don't take any chances either. I want to. I just I can never seem to take that first step.
Elliot: Come here. Come on.
J.D.: I don't want to go anywhere. I wanna spend time with Snaggletooth.
