Quotes 

• The Janitor : Hey! We solved your dumb game.

  Troy : We been to the libary!

  The Janitor : -brary... Troy! Library! Anyway, what two coins, when you put 'em together, make 30 cents and one of them isn't a nickel? Uhm... A penny and a 1972 dime with a Roosevelt imperfection, today worth exactly 29 cents.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : No, no no. The correct answer is a quarter and a nickel.

  The Janitor : Uhm, no, because you said one of them isn't a nickel.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : Right. The other one is.

  The Janitor : You lied to me.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : No. It's a riddle.

  [leaves] 

  Troy : [to the Janitor]  Uh, your face is red like a strawberry!

• Dr. Elliot Reid : [to herself]  What's wrong with me? Here I am, trying not to let fear rule my life anymore, and then... Sean moves away and i don't even have the guts to tell him how I feel...

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : [to himself]  ... how I feel. I mean, life's too short not to go for it with Elliot. Plus, now Sean's out of the picture. Stop being such a chicken!

  Dr. Christopher Turk : [to himself]  Stop being suck a chicken! I know it's a complicated procedure, but I can do it without Carla, there. What am I so scared of?

  Dr. Perry Cox : [to himself]  What am I so scared of? That I might actually get this job and have no one to blame it on if I fail? Good Lord, I'm pathetic... When was the last time...

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : [to herself]  When was the last time he ever apologized for anything? I wanna help him, I do... but in a lot of ways I guess I'm as stubborn as he is. I wish I could make sense out of this...

  The Janitor : [to himself]  I wish I could make sense out of this. 30 cents, to be exact... damn riddle! Easy, Janitor... you'll get this.

  The Janitor : Come on! You can do this! You went to Harvard, for God's sake!

  Troy : Relax! I figured it out.

  The Janitor : [Troy pushes his solution over to the Janitor]  Okay... . You gave me a penny... and... what appears to be a button, on which you've written twenty-nine cents.

  Troy : Can't we just kill him?

  The Janitor : [sly]  No, no, no... . That's what he wants us to do.

• The Janitor : Hey. C'mere a sec -- we wanna do stuff to you.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : [Voice over]  Crap. The Janitor. And he's with Sloppy Joe Guy! Okay, just distract them before they do whatever they've got planned!

  The Janitor : We were thinkin'... .
