Quote from Elliot
Elliot: It's just hard for me because I've always had everything. I got used to it. You guys never had to deal with that.
Carla: Yeah, we're lucky.
Quote from J.D.
J.D.: [v.o.] I think patients are like snowflakes. No two are alike.
Nurse Roberts: Okay, we've got two new admissions, both male, both mid-40s, both with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
J.D.: [v.o.] I bet that snowflake thing is bogus, too.
Quote from Nurse Roberts
J.D.: Please, I know all there is to know about thrombotic thrombo cyto top toppy...
Nurse Roberts: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Quote from Elliot
J.D.: [v.o.] When you work in a hospital, and things are going well, you should enjoy it, because around every corner there's something waiting to take it all away.
Ted: Dr. Reid, I need to talk to you about your patient, Mr. Bragin.
Elliot: Isn't it great? He's cancer-free.
Ted: Yay! He's suing you for malpractice.
Elliot: [chokes on drink]
Quote from J.D.
Dr. Walch: I'm sorry, kid. I didn't see anything unusual.
J.D.: Couldn't he have bled out or had an MI?
Dr. Walch: I don't know. I didn't look for any of those basic things because I'm horrible at my job.
Dr. Cox: Dr. Walch. [to J.D.] Murder She Wrote.
Quote from Dr. Cox
Dr. Cox: What in the hell is going on in here?
Dr. Gerson: The amnio triggered premature labor.
Dr. Cox: She's only 24 weeks. Jordan, cut it the hell out right now.
Jordan: Is he yelling at me?
Dr. Gerson: Yes, he is. I'm gonna give you a shot of Terbutaline.
Jordan: And you know what else? He said I had a fat ass before.
Dr. Cox: The nice kind.
Quote from Ted
Ted: Look, I don't get a lot of women in here. What's your honest opinion of these drapes?
Elliot: They're fine, Ted. But I'm getting sued.
Ted: You're right. You're right. You're right. Now, by "fine"-
Elliot: Ted!
Ted: Okay. Just time to calm down now.
Elliot: I'm fine.
Ted: Actually, I was talking to myself.
