‘My Tuscaloosa Heart’

Season 1, Episode 18 -  Aired March 12, 2002

J.D. has to treat a bad tempered patient. As Dr. Cox gets more involved with Kristen, he can't stop thinking about women from his past. Meanwhile, Elliot is convinced that Dr. Kelso used to write and perform romantic songs.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: Looks like you screwed the pooch there, Tinkerbell.
J.D.: But I didn't overmedicate him.
Dr. Cox: Of course you didn't. I always check your orders after you make them. But if you're wondering whether or not you treated Mr. Simon differently because he's a complete jerk, well, I think you know the answer to that one already, don't you?
J.D.: Depends what you mean by "different".
Dr. Cox: I have to warn you, I just got dumped in front of my ex-wife, not ten minutes ago, okay, Betty? It's always easy to treat the nice ones nice, isn't it? But your drug addicts, your child abusers, your garden-variety jerks... [whistles] Man.
J.D.: You know, it's barely misting out.
Dr. Cox: It's my hair. If it even gets damp, it frizzes out and becomes wildly unmanageable.
J.D.: Mine too.
Dr. Cox: It was a joke, ya girl. Newbie, the only way to judge your growth as a doctor, hell, as a human being, is by making sure you don't repeat the same mistakes over and over.

Quote from Elliot

Elliot: "My Bunny is a Baby Blue", "Bunny, How Things Change", "B-U-N-N-Y Spells Love to Me?" Ten songs about Bunny, not one song about his wife.
Turk: That's because it's physically impossible to write a love song about anyone named Enid.
Elliot: Turk, don't you get it? This tape shows exactly why Kelso is Kelso. I mean, he used to be this beautiful, wonderful, sweet, caring man. He found the love of his life, and she slips through his hands?
Carla: Oh, that is so sad.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] I honestly think the best part about working here is the patients. When they see how much you care, they're grateful.
Mr. Simon: About time, idiot.
J.D.: Hey, Mr. Simon, good morning. How are you feeling?
Mr. Simon: I was just asking Nurse Fajita if you get extra points for stupid questions.
J.D.: Sir, I was just trying to assess-
Carla: Bambi, don't bother.
J.D.: Carla, please. Sir, if there's anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable-
Mr. Simon: You can kiss my man-sized ass.
J.D.: Okay, will you hold me after? [chuckles] Maybe we shouldn't bother.

Quote from J.D.

Carla: Hey, Bambi, you know Mr. Simon made one of the night nurses cry?
J.D.: Which one?
Carla: Frank.
J.D.: Frank used to be a Navy SEAL.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Kristen: I have kind of a special evening planned for us. I'm not gonna give away everything, but I will say it involves wine, an amazing dinner and a safety word we've agreed upon in advance.
Dr. Cox: God, you are gonna make a great mom!

Quote from Turk

Turk: I told you what to do if the stitches on your chest start to itch.
Mr. Sloane: Don't scratch.
Turk: Unless they're really itchy. And then you go to town. You go nuts. You do your thing.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: Dr. Reid! One of the nurses found your stethoscope in the bathroom.
Elliot: Thank you so much, sir.
Dr. Kelso: This isn't it, sweetheart. I had them leave yours where it was. Let's try to be a little more responsible, shall we?

Quote from Elliot

Mr. Sloane: I went to college with that guy.
Elliot: Oh, lucky you.
Mr. Simon: Used to play his guitar every Saturday night at this coffeehouse off campus.
Turk: Remember the guy's name?
Mr. Simon: Robby something, I think.
Elliot: You know, Dr. Kelso's name is Bob, short for Robert and Robby is a nickname for Robert!
Turk: Like, oh, my God!

Quote from Carla

J.D.: Simon says, "Hello!"
Mr. Simon: What the hell do you want?
J.D.: Just gonna have Carla give you a stronger pain medication.
Mr. Simon: Beat it, junior.
J.D.: Toodles.
Carla: Well, you're all mine. [snaps glove]

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: Kristen, slow down.
Kristen: You've no idea how many times you'll say that tonight.
Dr. Cox: Boy, you're making it hard.
Kristen: You're going to say that too.
Dr. Cox: Kristen, something has come up, and I won't be able to make it tonight.
