From Scrubs Wiki

“Listen, there, Flowers: I know that your pink scrubs are balled up at the base of Barbie's bed three nights a week -- and congrats on that, really -- but if you're gonna go ahead and have a show-down with everyone who hassles her, then, gosh, you two aren't gonna have any time for that sweet, Aryan sex that you love so much! ”— Dr. Cox

[edit] Synopsis

At lunch, J.D. is embarrassed at how nerdy some of the medical residents are. Elliot reminds him that the next day he begins his surgical elective. The next morning Carla takes a picture of him and Turk wearing green scrubs. At the hospital, J.D. doesn't quite fit in with the jock-like surgeons and ends up being treated to a hanging wedgie. At lunch, J.D. mocks Turk for participating in ballet in college. Turk is upset that J.D. would sell him out so easily. At the bar, Turk tells J.D. that he has always been his friend because he has never been afraid to be himself. J.D. takes this to heart and sits with the nerds the next day at lunch and gives himself the nickname "King of the Nerds".

Dr. Cox gets fed up with the old computers, and chucks one out the window. He demands Dr. Kelso buy a new one, but learns that the equipment isn't replaced because Dr. Kelso spends all the money on a new portrait and trip to Hawaii. While the Chief is on his golf trip, Dr. Cox fools everyone into thinking that Dr. Kelso is dead, much to the happiness of Ted. Dr. Cox then regrets his prank on Kelso after all of his stuff is taken away, and Kelso's office is left empty. He does prove to Bob that Bob really does care what people think about him.

Elliot and Paul start having relationship problems, after Elliot says "I love U2" (as in the band), but Paul takes it the wrong way. She starts to realize how demanding he is in their relationship, and this gets on her nerves. She tries to break up with him at the park, but because he is bossy he tells her exactly how she should break up with him. He leaves upset that she chose to break up rather than talk about it.

J.D. levitates above the table, as King of the Nerds.

[edit] Janitor story

Janitor buys a circular saw, but J.D. points out there is nothing he can use it for, and this is confirmed when J.D. catches Janitor cutting a twig with it. Janitor then finds something he can use it for, when Dr. Kelso's desk is too large, and needs to be cut smaller.
