‘My White Whale’
Season 3, Episode 3 - Aired October 23, 2003
The residents encounter problems now they've got their own interns. J.D.'s desire to be liked by his interns means they don't respect him. Elliot is afraid of standing up to Dr. Kelso after he berates one of her interns. Meanwhile, as Jordan and Dr. Cox search for a pediatrician for Jack, they find a doctor who's even more obnoxious than Perry.
Quote from Dr. Kelso
Dr. Kelso: Is that how you feel, future dentist?
Bruce: Well, sometimes you make me feel like I can't do anything well, and I can do lots of things well!
Dr. Kelso: Like what?
Bruce: I'm a pretty solid human beat-box.
Elliot: Bru-Bruce, I think he was talking about medical things.
Dr. Kelso: No, no-no, I-I'd like to hear him demonstrate this "beef-box" thing.
Bruce: Well... Well, o-okay. Uh, I g- I guess this one goes out to my boy, Wayne, in room 302. He has fluid in his lungs. [beatboxes] He's got fluid. [beatboxes] He's got fluid. [beatboxes] He's got fluid.
Dr. Kelso: Young man... Enjoy your moment.
Quote from J.D.
J.D.: [v.o.] I don't care. All that matters is finding a way to sleep at night. Whether it's finally standing up to your white whale, painting over your black spot or imagining Shamu taking Sean's arm off. You don't need a doctor to tell you that a good night's sleep can fix almost anything.
