‘My Lawyer's in Love’

Season 8, Episode 8 -  Aired February 3, 2009

Between doing rounds, treating patients, doing paperwork and picking up his son from daycare, Dr. Cox is swamped at work but refuses any help. Meanwhile, the Janitor and J.D. team up to help Ted when he falls for Stephanie (Kate Micucci), a ukulele-playing singer at the hospital.

Quote from Dr. Cox

J.D.: Perry, for the last time, we need more negative pressure rooms in the infectious diseases ward.
Dr. Cox: Huh, I didn't hear you knock.
J.D.: The door was open.
Dr. Cox: Then go outside, close the door, and knock.
J.D.: No, you're just going to lock it.
Dr. Cox: No, I won't.
J.D.: You know I've been burned before.
Dr. Cox: Believe in me.
J.D.: New chapter?
Dr. Cox: New chapter.
[later, as J.D. pounds on the locked door:]
J.D.: New chapter!
Dr. Cox: [answers phone] Perry Cox.
J.D.: We still need those rooms. And you sir, are a liar.
Dr. Cox: There is no money in the budget. And while you're delivering bad news, please tell Ted that he can't sing in pediatrics. A cappella music is, how to put this delicately... ear rape.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Guys, guys, guys. He said no.
Ted: Oh, man. Well maybe, he'll let us sing for the people in the burn ward.
J.D.: No, I asked. He said they're already in enough pain.

Quote from Janitor

Janitor: Whoa, you took the last two root beers. Give me one.
J.D.: No. This one is for a patient, and this one... [licks can]... is for me.
Janitor: The old "Lick the can, so no one will want it" trick. Too bad I beat you to it.
J.D.: "Licked by Janitor."
Janitor: You'll find the same note on your cell phone.

Quote from Janitor

Janitor: The important thing is to be confident. When you talk to her, you think about something, anything, that puts you at a confident place.
J.D.: The important thing is to be honest. Just tell her how you really feel.
Ted: I don't want to talk about this anymore. [stands up, falls over]
Janitor: Yep, those are Jum legs.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: All right, Craig. Your CAT scan showed large lymph nodes, so you got to do a biopsy, which means we're going to make a little cut under your arm, and take a tiny sample.
Craig: Is is going to hurt?
Dr. Cox: A little bit, but it's okay cause I'm going to be by your side the whole way.
Craig: You promise?
Dr. Cox: Yeah, I promise. I got one thousand things I got to attend to here, I'll check in with you later.
Craig: Dr. Cox?
Dr. Cox: Yeah.
Craig: I'm scared.
Dr. Cox: Why don't you tell me what's scaring you, and we'll see what I can do to make it better?

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] As I watched Ted, I realized that a little confidence is a good thing. But, as I saw Dr. Cox rush by, it occurred to me that too much can get you into trouble. Because if you go around plugging leaks all day...
Ed: Brian, the machine is broken. There's no way there was a president named Garfield.
Dr. Cox: Study, or get a book to the face.
J.D.: [v.o.] you're bound to miss one.
Carla: Hey, if you're wondering, this is what it looks like when all the nurses show up at once.
Dr. Cox: I'll deal with it in a second.
J.D.: [v.o.] And before you know it, the flood gates open.
Dr. Cox: Where the hell is Craig?
Carla: Seventeen nurses took him down for his biopsy at two o'clock.
Dr. Cox: It's past two already?
J.D.: [v.o.] Then something big falls through the cracks.
[Jack is waiting alone outside daycare]

Quote from Dr. Cox

Craig: You're not my doctor anymore. Puberty Beard is.
J.D.: You know, Craig, I was kind of hoping that nickname wouldn't stick.
Dr. Cox: Craig, I'm sorry. I just got a little held up out there.
J.D.: I know it's not the thickest beard. It's not like, you know, Santa Claus.
Craig: You broke a promise.
Dr. Cox: Well, have it your way.
J.D.: Just, real quick back to the beard, you- you want to touch it?
Craig: I really don't.

Quote from Ted

J.D.: There is the stud muffin. How'd it go with Gooch? We jammed all night.
The two of us even sang one of her songs which made me think I might have a chance with her.
[flashback to Ted and Stephanie singing:]
Stephanie: I've got too many questions in my mind
Ted: I've got too many answers to find
Stephanie: Can I give up all I've imagined?
Ted: Am I magical enough for this to happen?
Stephanie: Because I like you
Ted: I like you
Stephanie: I like you
Ted: I like you
Both: And like can lead to like-like And like-like can lead to love Sure as the stars above, I'd really like to...
Ted: kiss you
Stephanie: screw you

Quote from Ted

Janitor: When we're singing, and the band's around, everything's fine. But as soon as we're alone, I literally can't breathe.
J.D.: Ted, you're never going to get close to this woman until you dig down deep, and find the courage to tell her how you really feel.
Ted: Yeah. What do you got?
Janitor: For the rest of your life, with this woman should be in song.
Ted: Loving it!

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: My head hurts.
Carla: Well, you wouldn't be so stressed out if you let people help you. Let me do the nurses schedule.
Dr. Cox: No.
J.D.: You don't understand, Carla. He has to control everything.
Dr. Cox: Oh, good, you're here.
J.D.: I'm surprised he doesn't try to control the words I say.
Dr. Cox: I can control the words you say. Say something annoying.
J.D.: I just-
Dr. Cox: Ta-dah!
