‘My New Coat’
Season 2, Episode 5 - Aired October 24, 2002
Feeling more confident around the hospital, J.D. starts wearing a white doctors' coat. Meanwhile, Elliot gets a reputation after hooking up with a surgeon, and Turk feels left out of the boys' club that is surgery.
Quote from J.D.
Mr. Blair: I told you I didn't want these antibiotics. Tell you what, when your first grandkid is born and you pick him up and you smell his head, why don't you give me a call and tell me how great it is.
J.D.: Mr. Blair, I'm sorry this happened.
J.D.: [v.o.] And sometimes it hits you in places you didn't know you were vulnerable.
Mr. Blair: Yeah, well you should be, it's your fault.
Dr. Cox: No more silly medical mistakes, huh? Nice going there, Newbie.
J.D.: [v.o.] Damn.
Quote from Turk
Dr. Amato: Dr. Turk. Down here. I saw you switched off on our exploratory laparotomy this afternoon.
Turk: Yeah, it's because I I had to-
Dr. Amato: It's because I'm short.
Turk: You're not short.
Dr. Amato: Look, I know I'm the surgical assignment booby prize, but if my other choice is being in that boys' club, I'd rather they made fun of me.
Turk: What could they possibly make fun-
Dr. Amato: Stop it. All I'm saying is, it's possible to be a good surgeon without playing their game.
Turk: You're really short.
Dr. Amato: I know.
Quote from Dr. Cox
Dr. Cox: Carla, for the 100th time, you had nothing to do with me getting involved in the Bumbry case, but for God's sake, the bigger problem facing us now is how do we get you to stop annoying me?
Carla: Yeah, I'm the problem. Can't you just for once stay out of your own way?
Dr. Cox: Can't you for once not be such a busybody? Oh, sore spot.
Quote from Janitor
Janitor: Hey, pal.
Woman: Excuse me, Doctor.
Janitor: Oh, no, I'm not a doctor. I'm a janitor.
Woman: Oh. I just assumed because of the coat.
Janitor: Right. Well, janitors wear white coats around here too.
Woman: Well, you guys do a great job keeping this place clean.
Janitor: We thank you.
J.D.: No, I'm a doctor. Look at the books, woman.
Quote from Dr. Kelso
Carla: The patient Dr. Cox got into the GI clinical trial. She was disqualified because her chart said she was 63 and the cut-off is 55, but the genius who admitted her got her age wrong. She's actually a perfect candidate.
Dr. Kelso: And Dr. Cox knew this?
Carla: He knew the whole time.
Dr. Kelso: Fan-damn-tastic. Sweetheart, you better do the heel-toe out of here because you know I'm going to take this out on somebody.
Carla: Bye-bye.
Ted: [holding a birthday cupcake] May I join you?
Dr. Kelso: By all means.
