‘My Perspective’
Season 6, Episode 9 - Aired February 15, 2007
As J.D. deals with his break-up from Kim and struggles to find a place to live, he develops vasovagal syncope. After J.D. gets in trouble with his neighbors and the police, his friends finally tire of having to hear about his problems. Meanwhile, Turk ignores Dr. Kelso's advice not to be too honest with patients, and the Janitor goes on vacation.
Quote from Dr. Cox
Carla: There you are. You gotta help pull J.D. out of this spiral.
Dr. Cox: Any other day I'd say no, but today I'm gonna go ahead and just say no.
Elliot: He took care of you when you were wallowing on your couch drinking scotch like it was vodka.
Dr. Cox: I accidentally killed 3 people. He got arrested for pushing a scooter and he passes out when he poos.
Carla: Okay, you're going to help him.
Dr. Cox: But just answer me this one question: after six long years, aren't you getting tired of taking care of him?
Elliot: Of course we are, but we're his friends.
J.D.: I'd heard every word. See, unfortunately, I had forgotten that Ted and Todd were under Janitorial orders to tape me to the ceiling.
Quote from Turk
J.D.: [v.o.] But forgetting things isn't always bad.
Brian: So, Dr. Turk, are you psyched to do my surgery today?
Turk: What?!
J.D.: [v.o.] In fact, it could give you a second chance.
Todd: Duck-tape five!
Brian: That guy is such a meathead. I always thought you surgeons were a bunch of brainiacs. I'm sure you got straight A's since pre-school, right?
J.D.: [v.o.] A second chance to define who you truly are.
Turk: Are you kidding? My girlfriend wasn't the only one with 34 C's in high school, you know what I'm saying? Still don't know what I'm saying? I was an average student.
Brian: Really?
Turk: But when I realized I wanted to be a surgeon, I got my act together. Brian, if I didn't think i was the right person to perform this operation, I wouldn't do it. Okay?
Brian: Okay.
Quote from J.D.
J.D.: [v.o.] During those two hours I was stuck to the ceiling, I witnessed some pretty clear things.
Delivery Guy: I'll see you tonight, Dad. [kisses Colonel Doctor]
J.D.: [v.o.] But mostly I witnessed the greatest hits of my own self-pity.
Intern #1: I can't get Dr. Cox to notice me.
Intern #2: I'm dating my best friend, but... I don't think I love her.
Intern #3: I'm lonely.
Intern #4: I'm a loser. You've gotta help me out.
Intern #3: Help me out.
Intern #2: Help me.
J.D.: [v.o.] And I understood how my friends felt, because I couldn't stand it for two hours, but along six years.
Intern #4: I wash it every day, I condition, but just can't get them where I want it.
[J.D. falls from the ceiling]
J.D.: For the love of God, mousse and twist!
Quote from J.D.
Carla: Don't you have something you wanna say?
Dr. Cox: Listen, I would really like it if you would go and grab a beer with me, what what do you say?
J.D.: [v.o.] And even though I'd finally gotten the totally sincere invite from Dr. Cox, I knew my answer.
J.D.: No, thanks. I have plans.
Dr. Cox: Thank you, God. Yes, that still counts.
J.D.: [v.o.] I didn't have plans, but I had a whole new perspective.
