Scrubs quote

[mrv3000]

One of my latest obsessions is Scrubs - I really dig great comedy writing. Anyhoo, I love this little monologue that's a great blend of comedy and drama and so I'm gonna spam you with it.

Relationships don't work they way they do on television and in the movies. Will they? Won't they? And then they finally do, and they're happy forever. Gimme a break. Nine out of ten of them end because they weren't right for each other to begin with, and half of the ones who get married get divorced anyway, and I'm telling you right now, through all this stuff I have not become a cynic. I haven't. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate covered candies and, y'know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don't care, because I do believe in it. Bottom line: it's couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they don't let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time.

I love this quote. Completely and totally. Especially this part: "Bottom line: it's couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they don't let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time."

I've been resisting watching this show for years. *frowns at Michelle* I may have to cave, though. I don't suppose there are DVDs that I can rent, are there?

OH! I just bought season 1 so I watched that episode a couple of days ago.

It just made me cry - for all my fucked up relationships and for everything I think about love and it's all so fucking right - it's painful to watch.

LOVE Scrubs.

I love that show. My favorite scene so far?

Older woman has just told JD that she's refusing treatment and she wants to die. DJ is sitting in a chair and a delivery man comes into the room and hands JD a clipboard.

"Sign here please."

JD signs, hands the clipboard back, and a ton of bricks fall down on him. .

Hahahahaha!!

I love this show and I think, reading your quote I've just worked out why. It's got the wacky humour and the relationshippy stuff but when you read writing like that... well, it's difficult to go wrong.

Dr. Cox is just the best.
