‘My Saving Grace’

Season 8, Episode 3 -  Aired January 13, 2009

As everyone gets tired of working under the new Chief of Medicine, Dr. Maddox (Courteney Cox), Dr. Cox wants Dr. Kelso's help to remove her. Meanwhile, Carla gives a self-centered intern a lesson on working with others.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Kelso: Is Dr. Maddox really that bad?
Dr. Cox: Hmm, she's like you. Only smarter and on the ball.
Dr. Kelso: That must suck! [chuckles]
Dr. Cox: What?
Dr. Kelso: Admit it. You miss having me as the Chief of Medicine.
Dr. Cox: Bob! I will gladly admit to anything that's true, no matter how embarrassing. For example, I've always wished that I could carry a child inside of me, and you know, birth it. But I'll never admit to missing you, Bob. Ever. Rusty, heel!
Janitor: [barks]

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: Donny, I'm gonna need a Double Chocolate Blaster as a 'pick-me-up'. [catches muffin] Maybe another. [catches one in the other hand] Hello, girls.

Quote from Carla

Carla: Sit down, Katie, sit down. It's time to set you straight. But we'd better do it fast because, man, you're annoying.
Katie: Why do you think you can talk to me like this? You're just a nurse.
Carla: Okay. A, I'm a lioness. B, who the hell do you think runs this place? The nursing staff has already turned on you. Why do you think you were assigned 75 bowel disimpactions this week?
Katie: I don't care, I'm good at it. Plus, this morning, I found a silver dollar.
Carla: Everyone's onto you, Missy. Pretty soon, you're gonna get called out.

Quote from J.D.

Dr. Maddox: Hey, guys? Listen, I popped in here earlier and noticed not Mr. Rosell but his daughter showing signs of MS. They were lying to get her the drugs. Can you believe it?
J.D.: I'm angry! I wanna shake these things!
Elliot: Hard!
Dr. Maddox: Anyway, I played the bad guy for you and I tossed them out. I love playing the bad guy! I'd even wear black scrubs if they made them.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: [whistles] Hey, you! How do you think the board will feel if I can show 'em proof that you're on the take for a medical supply company?
Dr. Maddox: I'm guessing they'd be thrilled since I'm rolling that money back into the hospital's budget.
Dr. Cox: Please, stop handcuffing us. You're making it impossible for us to help our patients.
Dr. Maddox: Does anybody else feel that way? [all hands go up] Great, now I don't have to tell you each individually that, um I don't give a rat's hairy ass. It's a huge time-saver. Thanks, gang.

Quote from Carla

Katie: Look, Carla, I appreciate this whole mother-hen thing.
Carla: Lioness.
Katie: Lioness thing that you've got going on here, but I don't need your help.
Carla: Look, I know you think you're fine on your own, but in order to survive here, you need to surround yourself with friends. Look over there. [Dr. Cox, J.D., Elliot and the Janitor] I can count on three out of four of those people.
I trust them with all my secrets.

Quote from Elliot

Elliot: Oh, you guys Carla had the nastiest sex dream about the cafeteria lady. Watch how uncomfortable she gets.

Quote from J.D.

Elliot: You guys, let's face it: Maddox is untouchable.
J.D.: [v.o.] Not true. I know how to get rid of any woman.
[fantasy: J.D. is stood outside the hospital with flowers]
J.D.: Dr. Maddox? I love you.
Dr. Maddox: Excuse me for just a second.
J.D.: Where you going, I'm telling you that I love you, I?
Dr. Maddox: Okay.
[As Dr. Maddox backs away into the street, she is hit by an ambulance]
[reality:]
J.D.: [v.o.] Too mean, psyche.

Quote from Jordan

Jordan: Admittedly, getting rid of Maddox is a board issue but as you all know, I recently retired to become a full-time mom.
J.D.: [v.o.] Crap, we forgot Jordan's retirement party last week. I hope we weren't the only ones.
Dr. Cox: I really should have gone to your party.
Jordan: You think?

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: Afternoon power walk, coming through.
