‘My Nickname’
Season 1, Episode 10 - Aired November 27, 2001
As J.D. grows more confident as a doctor, his relationship with Carla begins to change. Elliot treats a patient, Jill Tracy (guest star Nicole Sullivan) who's as hyper and neurotic as she is. Meanwhile, The Janitor comes up with a new nickname for J.D.
Quote from J.D.
J.D.: Oh, I can't believe I went out last night.
Carla: I thought you said you were exhausted.
J.D.: I was. But I figured I owed it to the ladies.
Carla: Do you ever stop giving?
Quote from Turk
Turk: Baby, it may just be a bench, but you know what? It's quiet. And I can chill. It's like my special place.
Carla: You are so damn cute, I can't even stand it.
Turk: Serious?
Carla: Yeah, I love it that my man's all deep and whatnot.
Turk: You know, I get deep.
Quote from Turk
J.D.: Hey, hey, hey. What's happening, Rerun?
Turk: What up, Roge? [dances]
J.D.: How about some of this? [dances]
Carla: Oh, come on. It wasn't even that good a show.
J.D.: Take it back.
Turk: This second.
Quote from Turk
J.D.: We still on for the Bresson exhibit?
Carla: Yes, we are.
Turk: Oh, I'm sorry. Did someone just ask out my girlfriend?
J.D.: You wanna come?
Carla: Oh, black-and-white photography, very artsy-fartsy and no boobies.
Turk: Hell, no.
Quote from Dr. Kelso
Turk: Hello, sir.
Dr. Kelso: Nice spot.
Turk: Yes, sir. Yes, it is.
Dr. Kelso: I usually try to get out here for lunch every day at 12.30.
Turk: You don't say?
Dr. Kelso: Yep, every day, 12.30, for 23 years.
Quote from J.D.
J.D.: [v.o.] After working at a hospital for a while, you develop a sixth sense for danger. Maybe there's a mass cas alert, maybe there's a code... Maybe someone spent the morning with the most annoying patient in the world and needs to vent. Luckily, I was prepared.
Dr. Cox: Did you do your pre-rounds?
J.D.: Yes.
Dr. Cox: Discharge summaries?
J.D.: Yes.
Dr. Cox: Pharmacy renewals?
J.D.: Yes.
Dr. Cox: SOAP notes?
J.D.: Yes.
Dr. Cox: Central line changes?
J.D.: Yes.
Dr. Cox: OK, Janet, but did you go ahead and fix your beeper so it doesn't play that annoying song every time you get paged?
J.D.: Yes. [beeper plays; v.o.:] Crap.
[fantasy: a shirtless Dr. Cox uses J.D. as a punching bag]
Dr. Cox: I expect you to act like a professional around here!
J.D.: Is that all you got? Good one.
Dr. Cox: Woo! Woo-hoo!
Quote from Dr. Cox
Elliot: [laughs] We are so alike.
Jill Tracy: I know!
Dr. Cox: "Oh, stop." "No, you stop." [laughs] Oh, dear God.
Quote from Elliot
Jill Tracy: When I get out, we should hang.
Elliot: I'd love to. I should warn you, though, I work a ton and when I'm off, I usually stay at home to catch up on paperwork or read medical journals just to stay ahead of the curve. Oh, I'm a nerd.
Quote from Jill Tracy
Jill Tracy: Oh, I wish I could stay home and read sometimes, but my job, it's like, you know? And with the married-by-the-millennium thing still hanging over my head, I go on like, 1,000 blind dates. And then there's all my friends who, like, always need something. And there's me who, like, never wants to let anyone down, you know, ever. With so many balls in the air, sometimes it gets a little overwhelming. As soon as I leave, I know I'm going right back to that mess. Oh, my God, I'm practically crying. How pathetic is that?
J.D.: [v.o.] Around here, you make big choices every day.
Elliot: Actually, I came down here to tell you we're gonna keep you in here for the weekend, just to get some rest.
Quote from J.D.
Carla: Give me that, Bambi, that's not a toy.
J.D.: Look, my name is not Bambi, okay? It's Dr. Dorian. And I don't really need to be looked after, okay? So how about I'll be the doctor and you just, you be the nurse.
Carla: Yes, doctor.
J.D.: [v.o.] Good choice.
