Quote from Dr. Kelso
Dr. Cox: Oh, now Bob, what the hell? Have you just being sitting on your pruny keister all day reading the paper?
Dr. Kelso: Heavens, no. I also went downstairs to get a cup of coffee.
Dr. Cox: Well, it must be nice not having everyone want a piece of you. If one more person interrupts my me-time, I'm gonna go ahead and get a tattoo of my hand giving a middle finger, on the back of my head.
Dr. Kelso: Well, why not? It's not as though it could make you look anymore like a psychopath.
Dr. Cox: Well, whatever it takes to get them to leave me alone.
Dr. Kelso: You love it.
Dr. Cox: How's that?
Dr. Kelso: Being everybody's "go-to" guy! Perry, people do not do things over and over unless they get some kind of joy out of it. I've been watching you for 20 years, champ. Your joy comes from being needed. That's who you are.
Quote from J.D.
Janitor: He wants to know what's going on.
J.D.: Tell him we're prepping his son for surgery. We got the mother's consent.
Turk: And tell him, if you know the sign, that is: Boo-yah.
J.D.: Booya!
Janitor: Nazi salute.
J.D.: Oh, my bad.
Quote from Dr. Cox
Turk: Guys, we should go in there and talk to him.
J.D.: [v.o.] And like that, Carla knew that Nurse Roberts was still in all our heads. Because even if Dr. Cox never took that 20 minutes for himself like the minister said, he still realized who he was as one of God's children.
Intern: Dr. Cox, we're having trouble placing a central line. You know what? We'll handle it.
Dr. Kelso: [to Dr. Cox] It's okay, you can go. I won't tell anyone.
Quote from Elliot
J.D.: [v.o.] Elliot had finally opened her heart, even though it made her feel more vulnerable than ever.
Elliot: Hey, Susan, have you seen Keith? We were supposed to meet here to ride home together, but I can't seem to find him.
Keith: Hey, babe, you ready to go?
Elliot: Yeah!
Quote from Janitor
J.D.: [v.o.] As for us, even though it took a while, we finally put ourselves in someone else's shoes.
J.D.: Will you please tell him that we know this must be hard for him?
Janitor: [signs] This must be hard for you. [reads] He knows. He'll be fine. He just wants what's best for his son. Thank you for the interpreting. Hey, no problem! That was for me.
J.D.: Very impressive.
Janitor: [reads] Stop talking, idiot!
