Scrubs Recap: "My Absence"

at .

The first of two new episodes of Scrubs last night, "My Absence," was more of a preview of a potential season nine than anything.  In the episode, J.D. was taking two days off for vacation, but was still narrating the show via being on the cell phone with Elliot and being put on speakerphone.  As Zach Braff has repeatedly said, he will continue to narrate the show if there's a season nine, but will not appear on screen.  Get it?  My Absence?

Elliot on the Phone

Anyways.  Elliot, much like the rest of us, was tyring to cope with missing J.D; Carla told Turk they were having a second baby; Ted was busy introducing the world to his new girlfriend, the Gooch; and Cox was trying to deal with Carla no longer caring.  Catch up on all the events in our "My Absence" recap.

Now for our usual favorite quotes from the episode:

Elliot: J.D. was sitting in that exact chair when we had our third kiss
Kelso: Oh that is very romantic, I will try not to drill any more farts into it | permalink
Elliot: Dr. Kelso, you do realize you don't work here anymore
Kelso: Look, her husband was an old friend of mine, plus I have forgotten more medicine than you two will ever know. [to Denise] I don't know you but I assume I have you beat because you're blond and rolling with ms reeks of beer
Elliot: It's my hair, okay?
Denise: And watch the lip, grandpa, because you wouldn't be the first old man I beat up
Kelso: I like her, she has girl balls | permalink

Scrubs Quotes

Turk: All right, Elliot, at the presentation I was wondering, can I do the ending? Because I really love the ending of our paper.
Elliot: Do you think I'm cut out to be a doctor?
Turk: Okay, fine, you can do the ending. I just want to say, "Thanks, folks! We've been great!"
Elliot: I'm serious. Do you think this is what I really want to do?
Turk: Elliot, I don't know.
Elliot: You can tell me. I can take it.
Turk: No, Elliot, I'm saying I don't know because I really don't know. What the hell is going on here? Why have all women gone crazy?

Ah, checking Mr. Countertop's heart rate. (Slams a pack of paper on the countertop, hurting Keith's ears) Memories. Do you know that once, Dr. Cox made me give every air conditioning unit in this hospital a pap smear? The wacky thing is room 403 did have some yeast issues.
