After Dr. Kelso and Cole both get bad news, they learn that letting the people you care about know how you feel is the key to them being there for you during the hard times. Meanwhile, Drew is caught between Dr. Cox and Denise.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Denise: You know, we are kind of alike. And actually, a lot of my best moves I learned from watching you. Oh.
Remember that 2-page list of careers she'd be more suited for than medicine? She cried for the entire weekend.
Dr. Cox: Really? Gosh, you hope you reach these kids, but you never know. You just never know.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Kelso: Sorry your mom couldn't make it. She's a hell of a woman. Next time you see her, tell her that Bob Kelso said, "I still see sugarplums." She'll know what it means.
Cole: Does it mean that you want her to make you one of her holiday cakes?
Dr. Kelso: Yeah, that's what it means.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Cox: Old man, your stinkin' forms. Enjoy driving again. Try not to kill anybody. [exits]
Cole: What was that?
Dr. Kelso: He just did me a big favor, even though I was a real douche to him. And I was just scared about getting old, losing my independence. It sucks.
Cole: I don't want people to know when I'm scared. It's weak.
Dr. Kelso: Yeah, I-I-I used to be like you. You know, putting up a front, shutting people out, acting like you don't need anybody. Fortunately, though, I got past all that because you see, the best thing about letting people know how you really feel about them is then no matter how big a jackass you've been, they'll still show up for you when times are bad.

Quote from Cole

Cole: Look, I know we're gonna studying late, so I bought you nerds dinner.
Drew: Did you rub, graze, touch, dip, drag or spread your stuff on any part of this?
Cole: Wanted to. Decided not to.

Quote from Cole

Cole: [recording] Hey, I wanted to talk to you about skin cancer. It's very serious but easily preventable. Always wear sunscreen,get a full body checkup annually, and when you go to the beach, stay covered up. Unless you're a hottie, In which case you should take it all off and get weird.
Lucy: We're trying to make a video about cancer awareness.
Cole: Okay, what about hottie awareness? Have you been to the beach lately? It's all families eatin' hard-boiled eggs. Okay, that ain't right. You know what? Just g- Hey, go. Go press. Press "record." I got this. I'll figure it out. [recording] Hotties, remember this. You cannot get skin cancer on your taters.

Quote from Lucy

Lucy: [v.o.] Four months into med school and we were getting on each other's nerves. Cole was especially good at it.
Lucy: Cole, you're wearing my scrubs. I had to wear the ones my mom made me.
Cole: Babe, you know girl scrubs make my ass pop.
Lucy: That is so stupid.
Lucy: [v.o.] Damn! Ma wants a bite!

Quote from Drew

Lucy: [v.o.] You know, Cole, you could be a little more respectful of other people.
Cole: Fine. Maya, that is a lovely sweater. It really shows everybody what you're working with. There, Luce. You happy? [Drew hits Cole] Ow! What was that for?
Drew: I don't know. I assume you did something stupid. Did he?
Lucy: Yeah.
Drew: One more for luck.

Quote from Lucy

Lucy: [v.o.] Getting paired up in med school was like playing a game of Win, Lose or Frank.
Frank: Spoiler alert, my skin's super flaky.
Lucy: [v.o.] Man, I just got totally Frank'd.

Quote from Cole

Lucy: [v.o.] Cole's cancer thing was really freaking me out.
Cole: Hey, check it. I put orange soda in my IV bag. I'm like a hamster, yo.
Lucy: [v.o.] Cole not so much.
Lucy: This is serious. You have cancer.
Cole: Lucy, it's not cancer cancer. Hey, that kind of cancer is for uglies and dudes who keep laptops on their balls.

Quote from Denise

Denise: You're leaving me for Cox right now?
Drew: Yeah. Is that all right?
Denise: No. Yeah, that's fine. Go. It's just, all this talk about, you know, dying is making me think of my childhood dog, Rascal... Flats Paws.
Drew: You had a dog named Rascal Flats Paws?
Denise: It's an Indian name, okay? We got him from a Navajo rescue center. I taught him how to skateboard and he was really good, until my dad ran him over. The bastard did it on purpose.
Drew: Wait, are you screwing with me?
Denise: Yeah, Drew, that's what I do. I make up stories about my dead skateboarding Indian dog and my abusive father just to mess with you. That's... Yeah. Oh, just forget it.
Drew: Uh, no, it's fine. I'll stay.
