Quote from Ted

Ted: Dr. Cox?
Dr. Cox: Chief Dr. Cox.
Ted: Chief Dr. Cox, I'm a lawyer. I shouldn't have to get you coffee.
Dr. Cox: [to Jordan] How do you feel about that?
Jordan: Can't even pretend to care.
Dr. Cox: Fine. No more getting me coffee.
Ted: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Dr. Cox: Is this really that big of a moment for you?
Ted: Yeah!

Quote from Elliot

Elliot: Ugh. My patient's running late.
J.D.: Why are we meeting him here?
Elliot: Because the last time I met a patient at their house, I ended up on the news.
J.D.: Was that the crack raid?
Elliot: It was.

Quote from Janitor

Janitor: All right. You're going to hold on to that new confidence, yeah? There's Cindy. Let me see the new Ted in action.
Ted: Hey, Cindy. I want to make you pregnant. [to the Janitor] How did I do?
Janitor: For the first time, I'm looking down at your bald head, and I'm not just seeing my reflection. I'm seeing a man. Come on.

Quote from Ted

Janitor: Now, next order of business: activities.
Ted: I had an idea for tonight. Why don't we play cards?
Janitor: It's Tuesday, Ted. On Tuesdays, you guys clean the hospital, remember? We went over this when I threw down your coffee.
Ted: I want to play cards!

Quote from J.D.

Elliot: J.D., we have to take responsibility, okay? You going to cuff us?
Police Officer: For a paper sign? No. You know how many people get shot around here?
J.D.: She probably does. You know she got caught on TV in a crack den?
Elliot: Why?
J.D.: Well, I'm sure he probably knows. It's on the docket.

Quote from Ted

Ted: Well, maybe I'll just call it the brain bunch.
Janitor: You wouldn't dare.
Doug: Whoo! Brain Bunch!
Todd: I'm staying. Brain Trust! [Todd and the Janitor high-five]
Janitor: You mind switching? You know this guy makes me crazy.
Ted: Oh, fine.
Doug: Whoo! Brain Trust!
Todd: Brain Bunch!

Quote from Carla

Turk: I'm ready to tell you what I think. I think pregnancy was really tough on you and the post-partum stuff put a strain on our relationship. And we finally got our life back, and so, it's really hard to think about having another baby right now. There, I said it. Kick my ass now if you want.
Carla: Turk, I'm not mad. To do this, we both have to be onboard. Just promise me you'll keep thinking about it.

Quote from Carla

Carla: Hey, did you know that women actually have a hormone that helps them forget all that horrible pregnancy stuff?
Turk: Really? That's interesting, 'cause men have a hormone that helps them forget about sleeping with fat chicks.
Carla: You used that hormone a lot when you were younger, didn't you?
Turk: [sarcastically laughs]

Quote from Dr. Cox

Announcer: [over P.A.] Dr. Cox, please report to the board meeting. Dr. Cox.
Dr. Cox: Chief Dr. Cox.
Announcer: [over P.A.] Correction Chief Dr. Cox.
Jordan: That was weird.
Dr. Cox: Nah, it's not so weird. I'm just having them do the announcements right over there.
Announcer: [over P.A.] Hey, Jordan, you look nice today.
Jordan: Thank you.

Quote from Turk

Dr. Cox: What's the deal there, gumball?
Turk: Carla wants another kid, but I'm not sure yet. I can't help but go to a dark place, you know. We're already blessed with this beautiful, healthy daughter. What if the amino comes back and it's the worst possible news... It's another girl?
