Elliot Quote #508
Quote from Elliot in My Long Goodbye
Turk: Hey, uh, baby? Laverne is getting weaker by the minute and we thought you might wanna come back up.
Carla: I don't know.
Elliot: You know, Carla, when I was 12 years old, I had this math teacher, Mr. Crane. Anyway, he used to give us these pop quizzes all the time. Not about math, they were literally quizzes about soda pops. So, once, the question was: "What was Mountain Dew's original name?" So, I wrote my "Mountain Mist" and then my best friend, Cindy MacNamara, cheated off my paper but it was the wrong answer, because it was a trick question. Mountain Dew was always called Mountain Dew. Although, little known fact, Mr. Pibb originally called "Senor Brown Water". Th- The point is, Sandy got the answer wrong, she failed the course and she had to go to a dumb girl school. I never even got to sign her yearbook.
Turk: Okay. Um, I'm just guessing, but what I think Elliot's saying is that you should probably say goodbye to the people you care about when you have the chance.
Elliot: Yeah.
Nurse Roberts: [imaginary] Maybe, that's why you're imaging me here, because you don't wanna do that. I'm just going to shut up.

‘My Long Goodbye’ Quotes
Quote from J.D.
Dr. Cox: What the hell am I gonna do?
J.D.: [v.o.] Unfortunately for Dr. Cox, that's when Elliot walked by and showcased her oddest talent.
Elliot: Somebody just had a baby.
Dr. Cox: How do you know?
[fantasy:]
Elliot: My uterus is glowing.
J.D.: My mom had an uterus. I lived in it.
Quote from Carla
J.D.: [v.o.] And that's when Carla knew what she had to do.
Nurse Roberts: [imaginary] Go on, girl. You can do it.
Carla: [sighs] Wow, I'm still not ready to do this. [sighs] It's gonna be so weird not having you by my side every day. Making fun of the doctors, going on and on about Jesus. Man, I hope he's real or you're gonna be pissed. Remember my first day, when that patient came in and started bleeding out on me? I was so shocked I could barely move. But you stood by my side and you guided me through it. And then you did the most amazing thing of all. You made me laugh. [sighs] For the last 15 years, you've been my role model, but most of all you've been my friend. And I don't know what else to say, except I'm really, really gonna miss you. [sighs] Goodbye.
[Carla looks back and no longer sees Laverne standing with her]
Turk: Come on, baby.
J.D.: [v.o.] You can ask any doctor, sometimes it seems like patients just hang on until everyone's had a chance to say goodbye.
Quote from Turk
Turk: You know, Laverne, if this was a horror flick I'd be so scared that I was next. Huh, they always kill the black folks off first. Now, I'm not really worried about it, 'cause there's still Snoop Dogg resident, and Leonard the security guard and... You know, when you think about it, this is a white-ass hospital. I'm gonna miss you. So, you take care, okay?
