Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Hey, how did the final interviews go?
Maya: Not perfect.
Drew: But we decided as a group that we can live with ourselves.
J.D.: Well, I know those things are hard. Turk and I had to do one last year. We couldn't get the guy to say a word. We ended up skipping our big steak night, and just spent hours talking to him.
Turk: He had a lot he needed to say before he passed on.
J.D.: Yeah, it definitely meant a lot to him. I gotta say for me, though, it was probably one of the most memorable nights I've ever had as a doctor.
Turk: Me, too.
J.D.: Ka-bam!
Turk: We just dropped a knowledge bomb on your asses.

Quote from Cole

Lucy: [v.o.] Turk was right. A knowledge bomb had been dropped on our asses, So we decided to take another shot Even though paul wasn't gonna talk to any of us.
Cole: What up, nerds? Hey, this Paul dude is awesome. He nailed Marilyn Monroe!
Paul: Oh, no. It was actually Marilyn Montrose.
Cole: Same diff. Chicks named Marilyn are hot.

Quote from Lucy

Lucy: I can't believe you came back.
Cole: It wasn't my idea. Denise made me.
Drew: How'd you get him to talk?
Paul: We had a conversation. All hot stuff here did was ask questions off a form.
Drew: Are you, uh, choosing to smile and ignore the insult 'cause he called you "hot stuff"? Attagirl.

Quote from Cole

Cole: Hey, did you know Paulie got a purple heart in Korea? I didn't even know we fought Korea!
Lucy: So, Paul, how'd you get your purple heart? Come on, talk to us.

Quote from Lucy

Paul: In war, you have to make the hard choices, so I shot the man. But I'll never forget his face.
Cole: No way. You wasted a dude? Hey, my buddy killed a guy once. Backed right over him in a mini mall. It was crazy.
Drew: Yeah, that's the same.
Lucy: I can't believe you were our age when all that happened.
Paul: Yeah, you and me, both. Some of our guys never made it home. The rest of us tried to keep in touch, but, you know, life gets in the way. I haven't seen any of them for years, but I think about them all the time. You know, when you spend the hardest time in your life with a group of people, you're bonded forever.

Quote from Lucy

Denise: What are you guys still doing here?
Lucy: All done, none done, remember?
Denise: Wow. That crap worked. I faculty-advised the hell out of you guys.
Lucy: [v.o.] I think it dawned on all of us that, in a way, we were war buddies. And we wouldn't be able to get through med school if we didn't have each other's backs.
[fantasy: the four interns are in the trenches]
Cole: Leave him! Every man for themselves!
[reality:]
Lucy: [v.o.] Well, it dawned on most of us.
Lucy: Hey, thanks for making Cole come back.
Denise: I didn't make him come back. I really hate talking to that guy. It adds an extra shower to my day.

Quote from Cole

Drew: Cole, I need the retractor.
Cole: I'm using it right now.
Drew: Seriously?
Cole: Yeah. I don't like touching bread. Creeps me out.

Quote from Cole

Lucy: If you want to keep sleeping with me, I expect you to have my back.
Cole: God, you got so many rules! Get your back, Listen to you when you talk, stay out of your purse. Damn, girl. Quit playing games.

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: [v.o.] This weekend was gonna be amazing. I was spending it with the love of my life.
Turk: Elliot gone?
J.D.: Gone. Carla?
Turk: Long gone and took the kids.
J.D.: Nice! Bro-a-palooza has officially begun.
