Quotes 

• Dr. Bob Kelso : I think Mr. Singer's going to be just fine.

  Dr. Townshend : [jumps]  Oh, jeez, Bob! Don't creep up on me like that. I almost dropped some fruit in my looms.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : I'm sorry, buddy. Say, listen, uh... nowadays it has become kinda hospital protocol to do a modified Seldinger in a case like this. You do know how to do one of those, don't you?

  Dr. Townshend : [hesitates]  'Course.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : Good. Because the patient in bed number 2 needs one. You mind doing it for me?

  Dr. Townshend : What the hell's this all about?

  Dr. Bob Kelso : Nothing. I was just looking over your files, and, um... well, your osteoporotic patients aren't on bisphosphonate, your diabetics aren't on ACE inhibitors. Doug, a lot of your treatments are pretty out of date.

  Dr. Townshend : [laughs uncomfortably]  Come on, Bob. I mean... guys like us, we're set in our ways.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : Well, this is not an age thing, Doug. Hell, these days, if you've been out of med school five years, half of what you learned is obsolete. Why do you think I spend every other weekend at a seminar in some 2-star hotel ballroom that still stinks of last night's prom vomit? I do it because I *have* to keep up.

  Dr. Townshend : Also, it gives you two days away from the missus, right? Once again, I am sorry the one who introduced you in the first place!

  [Townshend laughs, but his laughter quickly trails off when he sees Kelso is stone-faced] 

  Dr. Townshend : Look, Bob, I just... I don't have the energy for all that stuff.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : Well... then we got a problem.

• Dr. John "J.D." Dorian : Y'know, sir, Dr. Townshend was telling me you had some great old stories about the hospital. I'd love to hear one sometime.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : Well, what the hell. Back in '68- I don't like you. The end.

  [Dr. Kelso leaves] 

  Dr. Townshend : He tells that one a lot.

  Dr. John "J.D." Dorian : I know.

• Dr. Bob Kelso : No offense sport. Don't think I have anything against ugly people.

  Dr. John "J.D." Dorian : Why would I take offense to that?

  Dr. Bob Kelso : ...No reason.

• Dr. Bob Kelso : You need to shape up, son. Lord knows you're never gonna get by on your looks.

  Dr. John "J.D." Dorian : All right, first of all, at the very least I'm interesting looking; all right?
