Scrubs (TV Series)

My New Role (2009)

Ken Jenkins: Dr. Bob Kelso

Quotes 

• Dr. Bob Kelso : Listen, if he wanted to find a place to hide your patient, he could. He's just stressed, and out of his elements, and hell, he's scared. And even if he hasn't realized it, this job is changing him already! Because it comes with a whole host of overwhelming responsibilities, including keeping this hospital afloat.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : I'd help him if he'd let me, but you know he won't.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : When I was Chief, and Dr. Cox came to me and complain about something, I would automatically say no. And if he never complained again, I'd know it wasn't that important. But if he came back and fought for it, over and over, I'd know it was something that I have to take a look at. Now, he's me, and he's got this damn voice in his head, telling him to say no all the time, and he desperately needs someone on the other side to tell him what he should do, whether he wants to hear it or not. And now, that person is you. Here we are.

  Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian : [They stop in front of Dr. Cox's office]  Will he be at least grateful?

  Dr. Bob Kelso : No. He's gonna hate you for it.

• Dr. Perry Cox : I'm just gonna hit the floor and be a doctor like I have my entire career.

  Dr. Bob Kelso : Well, you can kiss that idea good-bye. I spent so much time behind that desk dealing with red tape, my behind still has the imprint of the chair. You want to see? Since we're friends now, I can show you my butt.

  Dr. Perry Cox : Bob, I saw it 5 years ago at Nurse Roberts' above-ground pool party and I am still recovering. Honest to God, there are times when I close my eyes, and it's... just there.
