Dr. Cox Quote #691
Quote from Dr. Cox in My Lunch
J.D.: [v.o.] Most stress with so many people clinging to life. Dr. Cox vibed on it.
Dr. Cox: As I lie in bed each morning and ask myself why I should put both my feet on the floor, there are precious few reasons that I've ever been able to come up with. The chance to escape Jordan's morning breath, sure. Scotch. It's too early to drink it, yes, but, people, it is never too early to think about. And, of course, the ever-present possibility that I might finally happen upon Hugh Jackman and be able to give him the present I've been holding for him. Bam! Still, the most persuasive argument I've ever been able to come up with is the fact that I get to come to this hospital every day and help keep people alive.
Turk: That's ironic because four people just died while you were talking.

Quote from Dr. Cox
J.D.: You know what I was thinking the whole time I was having lunch with Jill?
Dr. Cox: What's that?
J.D.: God, this girl's annoying.
Dr. Cox: I saw her in that supermarket, too, but I'm not torturing myself. Would you like to know why?
J.D.: Why?
Dr. Cox: Because she didn't come to the hospital looking for help. We just randomly bumped into her out here in the world. I mean, don't get me wrong. If a guy gets shot or if he has a heart attack and I am physically the closest doctor to him, I will intervene. Shy of that, you can't. I mean, you just can't. It's too much to ask yourself.
J.D.: OK. I hear you.
Dr. Cox: No. You don't. Once you start blaming yourself for deaths that aren't your fault, my friend, that's a slippery slope you can't come back from. I've seen it ruin a lot of good doctors, and I will not let it happen to you.
J.D.: [v.o.] And because he said that, I knew it wouldn't.
Quote from Dr. Cox
Man: Excuse me? Could you spare a few minutes for AIDS Research?
Dr. Cox: Yes, I can, but I'm not sure just how much we'll get done. I'll tell you what. We'll go over here and brainstorm while we wolf down these sandwiches. Newbie, come.
J.D.: [v.o.] Vintage Cox.
Quote from Dr. Kelso
Dr. Cox: [whispers] This was not a complete and total solo effort. It was an extraordinary job done by each and every one of you.
Dr. Kelso: I can't hear a word he's saying.
Dr. Cox: Be older, Bob.
Dr. Kelso: Just because I can't hear your silly-ass whispering doesn't mean I'm old. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go over to my office and tinker with my new computer.
Turk: Ooh, what kind is it?
Dr. Kelso: It's about 3:30. [laughs] I heard what he said, people, but damn, that joke's a classic.
