Dr. Cox: Well done, there, Barbie. You're now exactly where you were three years ago. edit »
J.D.'s Narration: I think it's human nature to search for answers.
Turk: Dude. Why is your tux gonna cost four thousand dollars?
J.D.: No reason. edit »
Elliot's Narration: Okay... So far no epiphanies. Except that outdoor toilet seats are like frickin' icicles! edit »
Carla: You know, Hector told me he's worked for Dr. Kelso for twenty years. That's half his life. I mean, I know he looks 50, but that's what being in the sun all day does to your skin.
Dr. Cox: Right, right.
Carla: The point is, it doesn't seem like he hates Dr. Kelso.
Dr. Cox: Say... Say, Bobbo... Is it possible that you're occasionally a decent human being in your life outside of this place?
Dr. Kelso: Well, champ, seeing as you don't exist in my life outside this place, I doubt it's any of your damn business. edit »
J.D.: Look, Turk, I heard the message that your brother left on the machine. I want you to know, if there's anything I can do to make your whole wedding go smoother, just tell me. Even if it's stepping down from being best man.
Turk: The only reason I asked my brother to be best man was because I knew he couldn't come to the wedding. But now his plans have changed and he's all excited. Dude, it has to be you, you know that.
J.D.'s Narration: It's always uncomfortable when two guys wanna say something each other.
J.D.: Look, you've been my best friend for ten years, man; I've loved you since college, and you know I'd do anything for you.
Turk: Dude, look, man, you're my friend and I frickin' love you; and no one's looked out for me like you have. Cool.
J.D.: Solid... You know, if it makes it easier, I guess we could be co-best men.
Turk: You have no idea how much stress that would relieve.
J.D.: Even though... God said it's supposed to be one... edit »

J.D. & Turk: (Touching their ring-clad fists together) Activate!
J.D.: Form of an ice menorah!

This exchange is a reference to the Wonder Twins, a pair of superheroes that first appeared on Super Friends. They said, "Wonder Twins, Activate!" to access their powers. J.D. is more specifically making a reference to Zan, who could change into any form of water by saying, "Form of a..." Elliot also references the Wonder Twins in the episode 'My Sex Buddy' from season two. edit »
