Scrubs [Season 7, Episode 8]

Why is it that so many of your stories end with «and then he hung himself»?

— You know, you didn't have to save me from Mrs. Cropper's husband. I could have handled him.
— How? By ramming your face into his fist over and over again?
— You can make jokes, but I did that to Paul Edwards in college, and who won that fight? He broke two knucles, but I only fractured one skull. Scoreboard, Turk. Scoreboard.

I thought about how complex the male ego is. It could make us need constant affirmation that we're strong, or even feared. It can even make us so afraid to ask for help, that instead we just quietly hope for someone to notice.

I should warn you, I've killed a man. Granted, it was during surgery, but... I don't need anesthesia to knock your ass out.
