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 J.D.

Jordan: Why don't you guys just get him to help you? He has so much dirt on all the board members, they'll do whatever he want.
J.D.: She's right Perry, let's roll! [exits; returns] Big Cat, I need you. [exits, returns] If you come with me to Dr. Kelso, I won't talk to you.
Dr. Cox: There it is.

Quote from Jordan

Jordan: Hey, Johann. Give me some chocolate.
Elliot: Johann, you slut.
Jordan: These puppies, they pay for themselves.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Kelso: So you want me to go coerce the board into firing Dr. Maddox? I'll tell you what. I'll think about it over a muffin. Donny?
[Dr. Cox blocks the muffin Donny threw to Kelso]
Dr. Cox: We need an answer now, Bob.
Dr. Kelso: Fine, I'll do it. If you tell me you miss having me as chief.
Elliot: Oh, so much, sir!
J.D.: Oh, so much. I missed your smell.
Dr. Kelso: Not you two. Him. You know, you hurt my feelings earlier.
Dr. Cox: In my defense, you are a soul-less creature from another world who doesn't really have feelings.
[Donny throws a pastry at Dr. Cox's head]
Dr. Kelso: Thank you, Donny, but I'll fight my own battles.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] The rest was predictable. They fired Maddox.
Dr. Maddox: Oh, so this is where the party is. It's okay. Go on celebrating. I don't care. I mean, sure, I've spent the last three months building a life here. Buying a condo, finding a school for my kid, having sex with Mickhead.
Dr. Mickhead: This doesn't have to end, baby.
Dr. Maddox: Oh yes, it does, Walter. You shouldn't have to strangle me to keep your erection.
Dr. Mickhead: I have needs.
Dr. Maddox: Anyway, you all think that you've won. But they're just gonna replace me with someone exactly like me. Because nothing ever changes. People don't change. Relationships don't change. And the medical system will never change, either. But you guys go ahead and have fun till the new me gets here. Should be a great couple of days.

Quote from Elliot

J.D.: [v.o.] And then, poof! She was gone. And I like to think we proved Maddox wrong those next few days. We found a way to work around the system.
Elliot: Thanks. Here's the medicine, Mr. Rosell. I hope it helps.
J.D.: [v.o.] A relationship evolved.
Dr. Cox: Good morning, Bob.
Dr. Kelso: Perry.
J.D.: [v.o.] It just goes to show you that with a little help, anything can change. Even interns.
Katie: Dr. Reid? I'm not the one that placed that central line the other day. I just took credit for it. I'm not gonna do that, anymore.
Elliot: Good.
Katie: Any chance to quickly show me how to place one of those things?
Elliot: Let's go.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: Hey, Frank! My favorite board member. Say hi to your wife for me. Oh, you remember that trip we took to Thailand together? You still keep in touch with that hermaphrodite you nailed? What was his name? Lou.
