My Déjà Vu, My Déjà Vu (2006)

John C. McGinley: Dr. Perry Cox

Quotes 

• Dr. Perry Cox : How's about we act like adults here and lay our cards on the table. You know that you're not exactly my favorite person in this dump, and I say that knowing full well that you feel the same way about me.

  Dr. Elliot Reid : I started an "I Hate Cox" chatroom. Hasn't really worked out the way I planned - it's me, two interns, and 14,000 lesbians.

• Dr. Cox : Barbie, why did you order this test? For the love of god, are you a real doctor or a doctor like doctor pepper is a doctor?

• Dr. Cox : I never went to Acapulco, Mrs. Goldstein. I lost three patients and spent the last two weeks on my couch trying to drink myself to death so that my victims and I could be reunited in the afterlife and they could rightly have their vengeance. Then, I realized that that tactic would never work, as I'd be sent straight to hell, which I imagine is actually a lot like Acapulco only there would be fewer Latin men trying to sell me Chiclets on the beach.

• Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : Elliot, do you ever get déjà vu around here?

  Dr. Cox : Ah, Barbie, there you are! Thank God!

  Dr. Elliot Reid : Unfortunately, yes...

  Dr. Cox : As you know, I can't make a decision without your help, so here goes: on Oprah there's a story about Lindsay Lohan's eating disorder, but on E! there's a story about Lindsay Lohan's fabulous new Tribeca loft. Don't get me wrong, I want to watch something about Lindsay Lohan; I'm just a little lost, here.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : FYI, that loft is Lohan-tastic... it's vintage Lindsay.

  Dr. Cox : Ah...

  Dr. Elliot Reid : Dr Cox, when you walked away from Mrs Goldstein, anyone could've thought you were in trouble.

  Dr. Cox : I had to go to the bathroom, Barbie...

  [whistles] 

  Dr. Cox : People, from now on, if anyone needs to take a leak, please notify Dr Reid; it is a pet peeve of hers.

• Dr. Perry Cox : How about we just agree that we're never going to be that close?

  Dr. Elliot Reid : We could, except for one thing. I know that we have our issues, but I've always respected you and you haven't given me more than an ounce of it since I started here.

  Dr. Perry Cox : [Long pause]  I didn't go in that bathroom to take a leak. I went in there because I was petrified that I was going to make the wrong decision with Mrs. Goldstein. I didn't want anybody to know because it is so very important to me that people see me the way they used to. Bulletproof. And hopefully, admitting this to you will make you feel... respected.

  Dr. Elliot Reid : It does. Thanks.

  Dr. Perry Cox : You're welcome.
