J.D. Quote #1663
J.D.: Mrs. Fremont. Your husband doesn't have a minor infection. It's the cancer. His body is basically shutting down.
Mrs. Fremont: He's dying?
J.D.: I'm sorry.
Mrs. Fremont: No. No. No, he's been doing so well. No. It's not time yet. There must be something that you can do.
J.D.: Well, we can make him comfortable. But, by the end of the night, he won't be able to breath on his own.
Mrs. Fremont: So, you'll put him on a machine.
J.D.: I'm not sure you want to do that.
Mrs. Fremont: Why? Why wouldn't I want to do that? Why wouldn't I want to do anything I can to keep him alive?
J.D.: [v.o.] This was going to be rough on Denise, but I knew it was something she had to get through to become a more compassionate doctor.
Denise: Look, here's the deal. If you make us intubate him, we're probably also going to have to shove a catheter in his lungs. And that sort of thing usually leads to an infection and antibiotics and then, before you know it, his kidneys are toast. So, even with all our poking and prodding, we're still not going to slow down his cancer. So, you'll finally sign the DNR. But, by then, he would have suffered way more than he needed to, because you were just too selfish to let him go.
J.D.: The real Jo never would have done that.

Quote from Janitor
Dr. Cox: Look, you and I are alike in a lot of ways.
Janitor: We both harbor an internal struggle between the desire to do good, and the urge to become a master criminal.
Dr. Cox: We don't.
Janitor: We do.
Dr. Cox: You hate people, and I hate people. What nobody gets is that we never hate indiscriminately.
Janitor: That is so true. I only hate those that have wronged me. Like if they stole my stuff, or put a penny in a door. Or... that guy. See this look he shot us, like he's so much better than we are.
Dr. Cox: Plus, he's only 25, and earlier I heard him use the phrase "Back in the day".
Janitor: Well, he's dug his own grave, hasn't he? Let's do this.
Quote from Elliot
Elliot: Katie. You don't have to do that.
Katie: I know. It's disgusting.
Elliot: You're just under so much pressure, I've been there.
Katie: Really?
Elliot: Oh, my God, my first week here, I totally screwed my best friend, J.D., just to look good in rounds. Well, not literally screwed. I mean, yes, later, we did it. But that was for totally different reasons. And honestly, it's been talked to death. But we are dating again. Don't tell anyone.
Katie: Got it.
Quote from Denise
J.D.: All right, Denise. I'm going to kick your butt with scut work for a while. Still, I really want you to be yourself around me.
Denise: Do you really mean that, sir?
J.D.: [v.o.] Sir! Loving this girl's energy.
J.D.: I mean every word, young miss.
Denise: Well, buddy. You have no idea how psyched I am to hear that. I mean, I spent four years in med school talking like this so I wouldn't dare threaten all the male teachers who pee their pants every time they're even near a strong woman. Seriously, I am so happy to be done with all that, I could drop a deuce right here.
J.D.: Oh, well, don't do that here, Denise. Cause this is a hospital.
J.D.: [v.o.] What in god's name just happened?
Denise: By the way, how can you stand these scrubs? Mine are so far up my butt right now, I can taste them in my throat.
J.D.: You don't have to be yourself all the time, just some of the time.
