Scrubs (2001–2010): Season 5, Episode 2 - My Rite of Passage - full transcript

Elliot has an annoying new colleague. Cox needs a break from Jordan and orders her to find friends at work. Carla gets the impression that Elliot is ashamed of her "old" colleagues. J.D. realizes his interns find his jokes unfunny.

Turk, I'm gonna go get some coffee.
Want one?

Get me a small one-pump mocha.

[J.D.] The perfect setup to a joke,
but no one's around to hear!

Dude! Oh, God!

[Screams] No! Dude!

[Panting] So, what did
you want me to get you?

A small one-pump mocha?

Wasn't that your nickname
in high school? Hello!

There's a guy waiting
to have his spleen removed!

It was worth it.

- Let's go, Per!
- I have been waiting for an hour.



I know. I was leafing
through a magazine

and watching you
on the security cameras.

My favorite part is when you said,
"Screw her!" and stormed out!

But then you came back
'cause you realized I have the keys.

Jordan, now that you work here every
day, if the carpool torturing persists,

I'm gonna put Plexiglas
down the middle of the car

so you can't drive me crazy.
You can't, you can't.

Unfortunately, your door handle
doesn't work from the inside,

which simply means
that if we're in a fiery crash,

you won't be able to get out.

However, that's a risk
I'm sure willing to take.

Jorderoo?

Hello?

I'm in here! You can't see me!



Jordan! Oh.

[J.D.] Not everyone
was in hell at theirjob.

There was only one thing Elliot
didn't like about her new hospital:

Charlie, her co-fellow.

- [EIliot screams]
- [Coffee splashes]

Good morning, Charlie.

Wanna work on osteogenesis
imperfecta therapy with me?

I'll tell you the same thing I told you
when you popped out of that HAZMAT bin:

I work alone, and you have
somebody else's blood on your neck.

Take a shower, man.

Fine. I'll just go.

[EIliot sighs]

[EIliot screams]

Yes!

That is an intern in a bald cap.

I hate ya, Charlie.

[J.D.] Hippocratic oath on three!

- One, two, three!
- "First do no harm"!

There it is!
All right, kick some ass today, guys!

Except for Mr. Woodson in 302.
He's got that rectal tear...

You seem to be developing
a rapport with your interns.

We even built a house for the homeless.

How'd that go?

Rex.

In my defense,
who wears a tie to a construction site?

I believe in team-building.
And I'd make my interns agree with me,

but they're in a timeout
because one of them used the phrase,

"Let's rock and roll."

When you're an intern,
you get treated like crap.

When you're in a position of power,
you do the same.

It's inevitable, like the tide, or the
awkward toast I'm going to have to give

at my son's big gay wedding.

Mark my words: Eventually you'll treat
them like dirt like the rest of us do.

Sir, I'd love to chat, but it's
already eight. I gotta rock and roll.

I beg your pardon?

- I'm an attending!
- Tell it to the wall, Newbie!

# I can't do this all on my own

# No, I know
I'm no Superman

# I'm no Superman #

[chuckling]

- The answer's two.
- What?

How many janitors does it take
to change a light bulb? Two.

That doesn't make any sense.
Hank's an electrician.

- And you are not funny.
- I'm very funny.

Earlier, I made a killer "one-pump
mocha" joke. Everybody laughed.

I bet nobody laughed,
but you didn't notice

'cause you were doing
that self-laugh you do

when you think you're being funny.

Was that your nickname
in high school?

[J.D. Laughing]

[Continues chuckling]

Anyhoo, have a good one, Lurch.

[J.D.] I had to skedaddle because
today was burger day in the caf.

And that meant one thing:

75 hungry employees,
and one bottle of ketchup.

- Got the ketchup.
- And here is your burger.

Oh, frick, I forgot my burger!

- No, she didn't.
- [Both laughing]

She never invites us to her hospital.

She doesn't
want you guys embarrassing her.

How would we embarrass her?

Oh, maybe by diagnosing all your
female patients with "Turk fever"?

- A lot of women suffer from that.
- It's true. I even had it.

Or that stupid Siamese twin
thing you do?

[Zipping sounds]

Multi-Ethnic Siamese Doctor?
Bite, please.

- Here it is.
- [Growls]

Mmm. That's headed right
to our joint colon!

Yeah, I think I've made my point.

So tell me something, Carla, has she
invited you to her new hospital, hmm?

[J.D.] Victory sip!

- [Slurps]
- Ahh!

Daphne, ketchup!

Is this seat taken?

Ketchup is for winners, Ted.

Jordan, you have
to make other friends in this place.

The only respite I get
is when we're making love

and I pretend you're someone else.

Yeah, I usually pretend
we're doing something else.

Damn it!

I am your new friend, so suck it!

- I gotta go talk to my boys.
- And I have to go talk to Elliot.

Wait, don't leave me!

So I hear you and the wife
are trying for a boy. Little tip:

The night that Perry and I
conceived Jack, he was on top,

it was about three days
before my ovulation... yeah.

Oh, and he was choking me.
Oh, it was so good.

OK, I'm just gonna...

My boys need the ketchup!

That's a lot of boys.
Rex gets first dibs

because I opened his chest
with a buzz saw.

J.D.! Ketchup!

I gotta get back to my hospital.

I was thinking I'd come by
and visit you tomorrow.

Tomorrow's not great,

but we'll definitely do it sometime,
you know, in the future.

We were having Mexican food,
drinking margaritas...

Carla? What are you doing here?

Hey. Let me finish
telling them this story.

We were at this tiny
little ATM machine...

I knew I shouldn't
have had that chimichanga.

I have to... you know...

- Hnn-hnn?
- Fft-fft.

Oh.

Go for it. There's guys here.
They'll never think it was you.

[Tiny squeak]

- I think that blonde girl just farted.
- [Sighs]

- Remember that, Elliot?
- Yeah, I remember. Ha-ha.

Those two new nurses
have wonderful breasts.

Hey! They have names.

Tina, Marge, Sloppy and Mr. Snuggles.

Sloppy's bigger than Mr. Snuggles.

- What are you guys talking about?
- Oh, we were just...

- [gust of wind]
- [Chair squeaks]

Guess they all had someplace to be.

- Just go!
- OK!

Hey! If you feel like talking,
I've got a dandy conversation starter.

I have had someone else's fingers
in four, count 'em, four,

different orifices today.

Oh, must be your birthday.

OK, gang, I'll meet you up in Radiology
to talk about Mr. Heath's CAT scan.

His tumor's getting so big,
it's starting to look like a "threemor"!

Not funny.

Have you been following me around
all day dressed like an intern?

Yes. And you're a terrible teacher.
I'm not prepared to operate on anyone.

Whatever. If it wasn't funny,
why did they all laugh?

Wake up and smell the urinal
I haven't cleaned in years!

Everybody kisses the ass
of the person above them.

I was going to be a cardiologist,
but I didn't have the heart.

I was going to be a psychiatrist,
but I was a-Freud.

Yeah!

I was gonna be a doctor,
but I didn't have the patients.

I was gonna be a baker,
but I couldn't raise the dough.

That's funny.

You know, I was gonna have her
bring you some chicken, but it was fowl!

I know.

You get it now? Your relationship
with your interns is a sham.

That dog just laughed at a pun.

Ooh, not gonna lie to you, that hurts.

- Tell me about your kid.
- Oh, how'd you know I was a mom?

As a parent,
I can read the signs, you know?

Let us not forget the understated
coffee mug we're carrying.

[Jordan] Oh.

- How do I know that guy?
- Maybe you used to date him?

Oh, that's so clever. I'm gay.
Wow, that's good.

I'm tired. Maybe he is from the
International Pretentious Association,

and he's here to remove your goatee.

What do you have, a boy or a girl?

I have a little girl.
I don't get to see her often enough.

See, I don't know, a few years ago
I had a little business problem.

- What was your business?
- Import-export.

Import heroin
into my bloodstream,

I would export vomit and urine into
whatever alley would have me as a guest.

Sorry, that's a little smile I get
when I'm silently judging someone.

The thing is,
it's Jenny's sixth birthday on Monday,

and I'm not really sure
that I can fly out and make it.

It's... it's hard to get a job,
you know?

Money's tight, I've got
hospital bills that I can't pay.

- Sam, I am so sorry.
- Yeah...

I know who he is!

- One little problem...
- Oh, my God! Just give me the drugs!

For God's sake, I've been
working you from every angle!

That's the junkie who conned Elliot
into giving him meds!

It just got interesting, people!

The Janitor was wrong.

My interns weren't laughing at my jokes
because I'm their boss!

It made me think about how some people
don't wanna just open the door,

walk in and see the truth.

Why did you come here, Carla?

You're mad at me? Why didn't
you want me to come to your job?

Hey, Bankfarter! If you want,
we're all going down for lunch.

You tell me.

After all, the truth can reveal
the ugliest part of people.

That guy has conned damn near everyone
in this hospital. We've gotta warn her.

Jordan! Whoa!

She wanted to work here. Let her
see what it's like to work here!

And for God's sake,
will you be a man?!

[J.D.] As for me, I already knew
exactly what the truth was.

Plus, my best friend
was always around to back me up.

How funny is this joke?

That patient's tumor is so big, it's
starting to look like a "threemor."

"Threemor"! You are hilarious, Dr. D!

Awful. Awful!

Awful.

[J.D.] OK, be cool. They're just kids.

Except Gloria. What is her deal?

OK, guys, let's talk for a second
as equals. All right?

Seriously, I'm taking off my
stethoscope and my little name tag.

- I'm not a doctor right now.
- You're still wearing scrubs.

We are in a hospital, man.

OK, we're off the property.
Now let's talk.

- Shouldn't we wait for Gloria?
- Coming!

We'll catch her up later. Have you guys
been fake-laughing at my jokes?

Be honest. I promise,
absolutely no ramifications.

We've been kind of fake-laughing.

I hope you die a violent death
and bugs eat your corpse.

Look, your jokes kind of suck, and when
I laugh, you pick me to do procedures.

Unbelievable. From now on, there
is absolutely no laughing at my jokes

unless they're particularly hysterical.

Talk about your Mission: Impossibles.

Case closed.

What is it with you and costumes?

I borrowed it from my brother.
He's a stripper.

- I'm... I'm here!
- Gloria...

Look, Carla, I didn't want you
to come here because, well...

Look, there's so much great about you.

You're smart, you're loyal,

you've shattered my preconceived
notions about Chicanos!

Elliot, bring it.

You're a bit of a gossip.

So? I'm interested in people's stories!

Thanks to you, for the rest of my career
I have the worst nickname!

Bankfarter's not so bad.
It sounds German.

[Speaking German]

Hey, Bankfarter, did you hear? Charlie
found a successful gene therapy for O.I.

He basically cured the disease.

How did he have time
when he was torturing me?

Jealousy's an ugly color, Bankfarter.

Anyway, we're
discontinuing your fellowship.

Frick. Frick, frick, frick, frick,
frickety-frick-frick-frick.

Frick...

I'm not sure how people
go about doing nice things...

...but here. You should be there
for your daughter's birthday.

I can't take that.

Come on. I can't even
Botox an ear with this.

Would everyone please watch this?

Because nobody,
but nobody, cries like Sammy.

He leads off with the chin quiver.

Then he goes right to the look-away.

He tries to hold it back but he just
can't because there's too much pain!

And then finally,
he squeezes out one single... tear.

[Cox fakes cries]

Ladies and gentlemen,
that is quality Crack Addict Theater!

I can't watch this.

Then move your big, bald biscuit head!
Some of us don't have cable.

This is a little trust exercise that I
really think's gonna connect us again.

Remove your blindfolds, please.

See your death.
See your death.

See your death.

Keith. Don't worry, buddy, we're cool.

- Really?
- No! See your death!

No! But I looked up to you!

[Chattering]

Hey! Why don't you guys
go upstairs and do some work?

And for God sakes,
will somebody wake up Gloria?

OK, enough waving. You wave too much.
You abuse waving. Go.

There it is, just like I said.

I can feel your hatred
like a cool spring breeze.

Ahh.

[J.D.] Gloria...

- I can't believe I don't have a job!
- Is that even yours?

I need your support right now, Carla!

Carla, you cannot tell Turk and J.D.
About this until I get back on my feet.

Why? They'll feel bad for you.

No, they'll be merciless.

Seriously, if you tell, I will
never trust you again with anything.

- Where've you been?
- Nowhere!

- What're you doing?
- Nothing!

- How's Blonde Doctor?
- Jeez!

- What's the dish?
- I gotta go.

- Hey!
- ?No hablo ingl?s!

My God, you got that saliva on your lip
that says you know something juicy!

- No, I don't.
- Here it comes!

[Turk] Yes!

- Oh, OK, here's the scoop!
- Yes, here is the scoop, indeed.

- You gotta promise not to tell.
- [Turk] I know.

Sam? What are you doing back here?

Hey, lamb chop. Crazy story. I was...

I was taking a bus to my plane ticket,
there was an accident,

and thank God I'm alive.
I'd hug you, but I...

...ahh, you know.
[Chuckles]

Jordan. This is one of our most famous
con artist/drug addicts.

- Nice to see you, sir.
- You as well.

Turkelton?
You've dealt with him before.

- Hey, dude.
- Why didn't you tell her?

'Cause he told me not to!

- This is gonna cost you.
- Get off my back, I'm not in the mood.

Oh!

Say it again!

Get off my back, I'm not in the mood?

That's what she said!
Zoom, zoom, zoom!

OK, I'm sure you know about it.
Go ahead, take your shots.

You've got bug eyes.

Because you dye your mustache
blonde doesn't mean it's gone.

That's all that you have to say?

Excuse us.

- Oh, my God! You kept a secret!
- I know!

I almost told them,
but I didn't because I love you.

I love you too!

Oh! I... I had to tell Turk something,
so you smoke a pipe now.

Ah. Coolio!

[Both sigh]

- What's wrong?
- [Both] Well...

We were gonna do Multi-Ethnic
Siamese Doctor Has a Fresca,

but Turk got
on my case about my interns!

He's mad because they're sucking up.
I was sayin',

"That's the same thing
you did with Dr. Cox."

Know what? Put our right hand
in front of your face.

Now talk to it!

J.D., he's right. If you want
to be a jerk attending too, go ahead.

Don't do it because they resent you.
Not fair.

Dude, get up.
I gotta go to the bathroom.

[J.D.] As I went to the men's room,
praying he only had to go onesies,

I thought about the different methods
people use to teach.

[# Michael Tolcher: Sooner or Later]

I wasn't sure if you wanted
to give him more money

or skip the middleman
and actually give him narcotics.

So I went ahead and brought your
ATM card and a heroin sandwich.

It's not heroin, it's smoked turkey.

You thought if you made me look
like a fool, I'd quit?

So, Jordan, I heard Sam got you. Don't
worry, he totally suckered me once.

When I first started, I lent my car
to a patient to go pick up her kids.

Last time I ever saw that IROC.

Remember that patient
who stole your identity?

Darryl! He's cool.

From now on, he's only gonna
use my credit card for emergencies.

It's a rite of passage that you have to
go through around here to be accepted.

Oh, my God! You actually
did something nice for me!

No, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It was a selfish act.

If other people talk to you,
you won't have to talk to me!

Cute.

[J.D.] I think it's always easier
to be a jerk than a good guy.

Did we do something wrong, Dr. Dorian?

You guys are fine.
You're doing a good job.

Still, good guy or not,

there's no reason why
you shouldn't enjoy the perks.

You know what,
I want the laughter back!

And you know what,
I liked it when you waved.

That was nice.
Why don't all of you just wave!

All right.

[J.D.] You can deal with anything,

as long as you have a group of friends
around to go through it all with you.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

I can't imagine what it would be like
if I were all on my own.

Excuse me, can I please borrow
your "Help Wanted" section? Thank you!
