My Best Moment (2004)

Judy Reyes: Nurse Carla Espinosa

Quotes 

• Turk : I totally get it. Older ladies know how to work it!

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : Okay, see, now you're in a bit of a pickle because the older lady you're talking about better not be me, and it sure as hell better not be somebody else. So whatta you have to say?

  Turk : [long pause]  Your favorite jeans are too tight and they look ridiculous!

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : What?

  Turk : Well, I--I'm in trouble anyway and it needed to be said!

• Dr. Perry Cox : Uh, Carla. Carla, have you, uh, have you seen Newbie?

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : Oh, he got off your leash?

  Dr. Perry Cox : [laughing]  Give me a break. The kid's like a... he's like a... . Have you ever seen a drunk baby?

  [She furrows her brow at him] 

  Dr. Perry Cox : Eh, it's a long story involving my son, a rum cake, and a low counter. Suffice to say that it turns out at first it's--it's endearing to watch them bounce off of the walls. But, man, you take your eyes off 'em for one second and --

  [whacks desk] 

  Dr. Perry Cox : BAM! -- they got a bucket on their head and they're plowing right through your brand new flat screen TV. God save me, it was barely out of the box. The point is that Newbie is MY... drunk baby.

• Nurse Carla Espinosa : He figured out that spleen thing, maybe you should get off his case.

  Dr. Perry Cox : I would love to get off of his case. In fact, nothing would make me happier than to watch him walk into a patient's room and not feel that I have to run in after him and check up on everything.

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : You wanna know what I think?

  Dr. Perry Cox : ...No.

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : I think you know how good a doctor J.D. is, and whether you admit it or not, you have a great personal stake in his future. So don't pretend for one second that all this attention you throw at him is just for him, because it's also for you. As your friend, I'm telling you that if you want him to keep growing you oughtta back off of him once in a while.

  Dr. Perry Cox : Carla...

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : And don't say anything, because you know I'm right and my jeans DO look good.

• Nurse Carla Espinosa : [J.D. enters with an ice cream cone]  Hey! You brought Tyler a new ice cream cone!

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : [Beat]  Sure... .

  Tyler : [J.D. reluctantly hands over the cone]  Thanks.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : [downtrodden]  It's a waffle cone.

• Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : I feel like we're missing something in his patient history.

  Nurse Carla Espinosa : When he came in, Mr. Milligan said that he and his son had been wrestling and goofing around.

  Dr. Perry Cox : Oh my God, he just might have goof-arounditis.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : We should also check him for the silly-willies.
