Dan
- J.D.: It was all right; we spent most of the time dealing with the headstone problem. See, since Dad was an office supplies salesman, he wanted it to be shaped like a pencil.
- Turk: So?
- Dan Dorian: So, it looked like a giant marble penis - which I maintain, Dad would have liked even more.
- J.D.: What happened?
- Dan Dorian: What, a guy can't take three days off work, travel eight hundred miles on a bus with a double-layer fudge cake just to say "Hey, how're things?"
- J.D.: Dan...
- Dan Dorian: Dad died.
- Dr. Perry Cox: Listen, Dan...
- Dan Dorian: [points to a beard of bubbles on his chin] Captain Bubblebeard. Sheaht yer scuppers, me hardies!
- [Dr. Cox shoves Dan's head under the bathwater]
- Dr. Perry Cox: Now you're Dan again! Let's break down the kid's support structure, shall we? He's got me, an emotionally crippled narcissist; and he's got you, an emotionally crippled narcissist who is soaking in a tub of what must be, by now, mostly your own urine!
- Dan Dorian: I believe the ratio has shifted, yes...
- Dr. Perry Cox: And I have to believe that together, *together*, Dan, we can make it at least half way to one legitimite adult!
- Dan Dorian: You're right, Coxy!
- [Dan stands up. Dr. Cox frowns at his crotch]
- Dan Dorian: JD needs us, and he needs us now!
- Dr. Perry Cox: Towel!
- Dan Dorian: Let's do this!
- [Dan wraps himself in the towel, and takes one step out of the bathtub before falling flat on his face]
- Dan Dorian: I may have lost some muscle mass in my legs...
- Dr. Perry Cox: Fantastic.
- [Dr. Cox has duct-taped Dan's head to the wall above the bathtub]
- Dan Dorian: What's this?
- Dr. Perry Cox: It's your basic homemade anti-drowning device to be worn until your brother returns.
- Dan Dorian: ...I like it.
- J.D.: You know, it wasn't exactly easy showering with you in there.
- Dan Dorian: Well, it wasn't exactly easy for me, either. You have Dad's butt.
- J.D.: You think you'll get out of the tub today?
- Dan Dorian: Yeah, today doesn't look good - by the way, could you get me another beer?
- J.D.: No, look, I put a six-pack for you in the toilet.
- Dr. Perry Cox: Truth be told, there, Newbie: I'm proud of you.
- Dan Dorian: Me too.
- J.D.: [narrating] It's amazing how a few simple words can change everything.
