- [Turk is examining a patient's abdomen]
- Dr. Christopher Turk: OK, so I'm going to add a little pressure now, sir.
- [audible fart is heard]
- Dr. Christopher Turk: It's all right. It's perfectly natural.
- Patient: That was you.
- Dr. Christopher Turk: Yeah, I know, But it's still perfectly natural.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: You're a lot stronger than. You use to be. I've changed too... I have a beard now.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: We have so much history, most of it bad.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Yeah.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: How can we ever get past that?
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: We can't.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: Oh, good. That makes me feel better.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: But maybe we can remember all our pitfalls like a roadmap. Maybe this time we can avoid all the drama. We don't have to be that couple where one of us says they're moving out of town, the other one has to rush to the airport to stop them. We don't have to argue about whether or not we were "on a break."
- Dr. Elliot Reid: You watched that "Friends" marathon last night, didn't you?
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: I did. I loved it.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: I'll tell you what else I don't want to deal with. All the judgment from everyone else.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Oh.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: Dr. Cox, Jordan, even Turk and Carla. I mean, it's almost enough of a reason not to do anything.
- Dr. Bob Kelso: Hogwash!
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Excuse me?
- Dr. Bob Kelso: That ridiculous drivel you just said. Oh, but who am I to talk? Here I am eating some kind of a banana-nut-sawdust muffin and hiding out in this crappy excuse for a Coffee Bucks. Who the hell cares what anybody else thinks? Just look into your heart and do whatever the hell makes you happy.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Look, if it helps, you hurt me, too.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: Really?
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: There were so many times I wanted to be with you so badly, and you shot me down. Like when we first met, or when you wanted to be sex buddies.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: [He pauses to hear trumpet fanfare] Oh, yeah. But that's when I found work so overwhelming, and I didn't want you...
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm sorry. We've just been down this road so many times, you know? I mean, seriously, doesn't even talking about it just make you hate yourself a little bit?
- Dr. Elliot Reid: I can't tell if I'm just doing the normal amount of hating myself, or if I'm at a slightly higher level of self-Ioathing.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: You're too hard on yourself.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: No, I'm not. I'm just stupid and ugly and I have a pig face.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Elliot, I've never been able to get over the idea of us. I'm still crazy about you.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: I don't really know what you want me to say.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Maybe you could tell me if you feel the same way.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: Yeah!
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Maybe you could say it without sounding angry.
- Dr. Christopher Turk: Now, I don't understand. If I'm the best surgeon here, how come you're always looking over my shoulder?
- Dr. Perry Cox: Oh, give me a break, would you? Saying someone is "the best surgeon" is like saying someone is the smartest cast member of "The Hills".
- Dr. Elliot Reid: But J.D., you crushed me. I mean, I gave you my love and you threw it back in my face, and pretty much scarred me romantically. I mean, now I'm doomed to a life of gravitating to safe, boring guys who I don't really love, and I'm repelled by the ones I care for deeply. So thank you for that.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: I know we're talking, but it still feels like we're being so careful, you know?
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: We're just scared. I made so many mistakes in my life because I was scared. It's the reason I bailed when you said "I love you," it's the reason...
- Dr. Elliot Reid: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Okay. But I am scared of ending our friendship.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: What if I get hurt again?
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: And what if you've picked up a new STD?
- Dr. Elliot Reid: For the last time, that was not an STD! It was a urinary tract infection, and I got it from having sex with you in a pond.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: [Voice over] Yeah, you did.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: [J.D. and Elliot hold hands, ready to start dating again] This seems like a good idea.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: [Grinning] Who cares?
- Dr. Elliot Reid: J.D. And I are just friends, Dr. Kelso. I mean, we just like hanging out together.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: We rent movies, go on hikes.
- Dr. Elliot Reid: On Sunday nights, we do our laundry together.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: Did you know that Elliot's granny panties are actually her granny's panties?
- Dr. Elliot Reid: It's just one pair, J.D. Excuse me for being sentimental.
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: [Voice over] Elliot and I were tempted to take Dr. Kelso's advice, because often when you do what makes you happy, things have a way of working out.
- [...]
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: But it also occurred to us that you can have the best intentions and still fall back into old habits.
- [...]
- Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian: So I guess the real answer is that there is no easy answer. You just have to go for it or not.
