Well, Lark, you encouraged me to pick this up again for a break. This is one of my very favorite episodes, and Carla's response to Keith's winking at her is my favorite Scrubs line of all time.
(Starts with a close-up view of a remote located that's beeping. Zero is using it in the hospital to find something and encounters Solana.)
Solana- What is that?
Zero- This here is an electronic hide and seek game. The other person wears a sensor and the closer to them you get, the more it beeps.
Solana- Huh! Funsies! So Jean here has an aorta interge here and I need a surgical consult.
Zero (clicks the remote off)- Fire away.
Solana- See her green highlights?
Zero- Yes.
Solana- Could I pull those off, or am I so kidding myself?
Zero- I really don't have time for this.
Solana- Zero, you're playing hide and seek.
Zero- With my young blastoma patient Lily. She's been in the hospital for a month. I think she deserves a little fun, don't you?
Solana (apologetic)- Sorry, Zero.
(Zero continues on, remote beeping wildly and he chuckles triumphantly as he approaches a medcart and flips up the sliding door. A few plastic bags tumble out, revealing Lark.)
Lark- How bad would she look with green highlights?
Zero- I know. It is now my turn to hide. (Hands over the remote and gets the sensor.)
Lark- Okay, I'll count. Close a brother up. (Zero closes the sliding door on the cart, looks around, and dashes off to hide.)
(Solana is gathering her interns as Sadoul comes up by her side.)
Solana- Now, I like to remember all the carpal bones with a simple mnemonic device. (Points to her hand.) Scaphoid, lunate, TFCC, pisiform, trapezoid, trapezium, captitate, and hammy. Some lampreys try prey that they can't handle.
Sadoul- Hey, did we have to see those right after eating breakfast?
Solana- It's all a part of nature, Sadoul, and nature is beautiful. Even when parasitic aquatic critters are chewing a hole in another one.
Roas (using a pen like a microphone)- Excuse me, does anyone here happen to have a plate of jeebies? Because these two just gave me a big ol' scoop of the heebies. Seriously, it cannot just be me. I want to hear from the audience. I do. Teaching lessons in ecology outside the workplace, she's the boss, he's the pretty intern. Tell me, what's bothering you? Courage. (Kneels and holds the pen to Infiniti.)
Infiniti (clearing her throat)- Well, sometimes they arrive in the morning and they smell like seaweed.
(Solana shrugs, while Sadoul looks pissed.)
Roas (rising)- Infiniti, telling it like it smells. I'm proud of you. (Sadoul sniffs his scrub top.) Ecco, who hurt you?
Solana (dryly)- Is there something you want?
Roas- Actually, yes, it is one of those rare days where you can be of use to me. You speak Lefeinish, and I have a patient from there and I need to tell the gentleman that he has fluid in his lungs. (Holds his hands up expectantly.)
Solana- Lupa, lupa. Lupa, LUpa luPA LUpa lupa.
Roas- Lupa, lupa. Lupa, LUpa luPA lupa lupa.
Solana- LUpa lupa!
(Cuts to Roas in a patient's room.)
Roas- Lupa, lupa. Lupa, LUpa luPA LUpa lupa.
(Subtitle- What's your wife doing tonight?)
(The couple looks shocked.)
Patient (angrily)- Lupa LUPA luPa?!
Roas- LUpa lupa.
(The patient throws back his covers and starts scrambling towards the end of his bed.)
(Cuts to Darknight in the ambulance, getting everything ready. A phone rings, and he gasps as a figure under the blanket on a gurney rises, revealing Zero.)
Zero- Relax, dude, just playing a little hide and seek. (Answers his phone.) Hey, baby! (Pause.) Yeah, I know my shift's over, but- no, I'm not fooling around with Lark. Yeah, I'm- cool, I'm on my way home. (Clicks off the phone, sets the sensor down, and gives Darknight the 'be right back' sign.)
(Cuts to Kiyone coming out of their bathroom.)
Kiyone- All right, I just took the pregnancy test. Just tell me when a minute's up.
Zero- I just put some pizza rolls in the microwave oven. The minute that bad boy dings, we're good to go.
Kiyone- Oh, my God, I can't stand it! Thirty more seconds!
Zero- Honey, don't get too excited. They have to cool off for at least a minute. That cheese is like lava!
Kiyone- Is there a bigger idiot than you in the entire Universe?
(Cuts to Lark following the moving ambulance on Sasha.)
Lark (holding up his remote)- I'm seeking you, Zero!
(Cuts back to Kiyone and Zero waiting expectantly.)
Ding!
Kiyone (checks the test)- It's negative.
Zero (holding her)- Look at me. Hey, look at me. It's gonna happen.
Kiyone- Eat your pizza rolls. (Zero rubs her shoulder lovingly.) I gotta get to work.
(Zero takes the plate out as Kiyone tosses the test.)
Kiyone- By the way, next time get a name brand pregnancy test, and not that cheap generic one.
Zero- If you raised my allowance, I wouldn't have to bargain shop to buy pizza rolls. Secondly, this pregnancy test works just as well as the name brand one! (Kiyone leaves without answering as Zero reads the box.) Wait a second. 'Results in three minutes'.
(He dashes out the door, and we see Roas being literally thrown out of his patient's room, tucking into a roll, and slamming into the nurses' desk.)
Some things deserve to be tossed out on their asses.
(Solana innocently looks down from some paperwork to see Roas sprawled on the floor.)
Roas (sourly)- LUpa lupa.
(Cuts to Zero pawing through the trash.)
But the thing you shouldn't toss out is a pregnancy test that takes two minutes longer than you thought.
(Zero holds it up as the the pink indicator changes to blue.)
Zero- Oh, my Goddess, we're pregnant. (Dazed, he sits down and pops one of the pizza rolls in his mouth, then starts shrieking from the pain of lava-hot cheese.)
(Cuts to main theme, then Rune talking to an intern.)
Rune- We just added an inground pool to the Shrine. In high school, I was an all-Lunar swimmer.
Every workplace has that guy that has to top everyone else's story.
Techno- When I was younger, I was a world-class 110 meter hurdler.
(Shows a group of runners doing last minute stretches. Techno reluctantly takes off his wrist holo.)
Announcer- Runners, take your positions!
(The runners crouch down.)
Announcer- On your mark, get set... (gun goes off.)
(Techno swiftly gets in the lead, leaping over each hurdle easily and getting in first place. Someone hands him back the wrist holo, and it cuts to the present.)
Techno- Yeah, they offered me a full ride scholarship, but then I took out the governor's daughter. Not the university's, the governor of Meribia. But, hey, if she asks you to go grab a drink you do not say "no"!
Lark- No, no more. Here are some of the lies you've told us over the years. You went to Pentagulia. You have a wife who only has a pointer and a thumb-pinky. You have a brother-dad, a mother-sister? You have two kids, no, wait, you have one kid. No, you had a baby with a Chinese local. You're a deaf-mute. Oh, wait, now you're telling us that you're a Lunar-class hurdler and you took out the beautiful and irreplacable Jessica D'Alkirk?
Techno- I didn't take her out, but she did talk to me once.
(Lark makes a noise of disbelief.)
Techno- And I really was a Lunar-class hurdler.
Lark- We're not buying it, are we, gang?
(The crowd agrees and breaks up.)
Lark- The people have spoken. Allow me to bask, in the glow. (Basks.)
(Zero wildly runs inside.)
Zero- Lark, guess what??!!
Lark- Not now, I'm glow-basking.
Zero- Dude, listen to me!!!
(Cuts to Zero giving Lark a piggy-back ride into the main hospital. Both are screeching with joy and come up to Roas.)
Zero- Where is Kiyone?
Roas- She just went downstairs. What is all the excitement?
(They go back and forth on what to say for a moment, arms around each other's shoulders.)
Lark- Ah, you tell him. It's your news.
Zero- We're having a baby.
Roas- Red states be damned, I'm sure you're going to make excellent fathers.
Solana (coming up)- What's going on?
Lark- Why don't I tell her. Kiyone, prego!
Solana (getting teary)- Oh, my God, Zero! Kiyone must be so happy!
Zero- I haven't told her yet. I'm going to go tell her now.
Lark- Wait, Zero! When has a man ever been able to tell his wife that she's pregnant?
(Zero nods while considering it.)
Lark- Allow me to paint you a picture with my imagination brush, okay? You two come out into the parking lot, where all Kiyone's friends have gathered. They're holding a giant banner that says, "Kiyone, you're pregnant!" and I dove you! Did I say "dove"? I did, Zero. (Roas looks incredulous.) That's when I cue the bird-wrangler who releases five hundred white doves into the air. Where do they land? I don't know. (Zero's grinning more and more.) The one thing that Kiyone knows, is that in her uterus, is a little soft baby Zero.
Zero- Are you forgetting what happened when you made me have doves at my parents' anniversary party?
Lark- This won't be indoors, Zero, and there certainly won't be all those people throwing birdseed. I mean, why were they throwing seed? It's... (shakes his head.) The point is, that you, my friend, have a chance to pull the greatest surprise that a husband has ever been able to pull in the life of his wife, and you'll get credit for it your entire marriage!
Zero- I'm in!!
Lark- Great. I'll tell everybody, you find Kiyone. Dr. Atrades-
Roas- Halt. I will be doing nothing.
Solana- You at least won't be telling Kiyone, right?
Roas- Ever since I was blitzkrieged this morning by an enraged Lefeinian named Lu, a certain Dr. Ecco no longer exists for me. (Solana looks exasperated.) So, if she were to ask me a question, I wouldn't be able to hear it, and you'd have to repeat it.
Lark- Can you please just not tell Kiyone?
Roas (holding up his hand to block Solana from his sight)- ....fine.
Lark- And Solana, if you see Kiyone, then don't get emotional.
Solana- No problem.
Lark (skeptical)- Really. Baby.
Solana (teary)- Oh, my God, Zero! Kiyone's going to be so happy!
(Lark and Zero don't look confident that the surprise will be kept one. It cuts to Lark approaching Zero and Kiyone.)
Zero- The family wants me to do a hip surgery! What are they thinking?! The guy's ninety-two!
Kiyone- He's their grandfather. It's not like he's a dog and they can go to a kennel and pick out another one.
(Lark looks off to the side, and it cuts to a 'Grandfather Kennel'. Various living room scenes are set up behind chain-link fences.)
Ambrienne- We just got a lot of great new grandfathers in.
Lark- Okay. Oh, look at this one. He's so cute!
Tellah- Hey! Get out of my yard! (Hits the fence with a staff.)
Ambrienne- He's not good with people.
(Cuts to a couple on a sofa. A sign reads "Do not stick fingers in cage.")
Ambrienne- He's great, but we really don't want to separate them.
Lark- I already have a grandma...
(Cuts to Lark on a rocking chair, Gwyn on his lap.)
Lark- If I get one that's a beastman, no one will believe he's mine.
(Cuts to one more cage.)
Lark- Ohhh, look at this fellow.
(Okina peeks out from behind a reclining chair.)
Lark- Come here, boy. Got a little hard candy for you. (Sticks it between the links of the fence. Okina comes up and gobbles it, as Lark rubs his head.) Yes, you're a good boy. Who's a good boy? You've got a candy, you can unwrap it.
(Cuts back to the hospital.)
Lark- I'd name him "Sebastian".
Kiyone- Hey, what's up with Techno? He seems a little more lurky than usual.
Lark- Yeah, I pissed him off earlier today. How am I supposed to avoid him?
Zero- You should put the hide and seek sensor on him. That way, you'd always know where he is.
(Techno peeks at them from behind a door guarding circuit breakers.)
Lark- It'd take a very clever plan to hide this tiny, penny-like sensor on him.
(Cuts to Zero holding out the sensor and five silver as Techno approaches.)
Zero- Five silver if you eat this penny.
Techno- Done. (Downs the sensor and takes the silver.) And done.
(Lark pops up from his hiding place behind the nurses' desk.)
Zero- We pulled it off. See if it works.
Lark (whipping out the beeping remote)- My friend, we have just lowjacked Techno. Hello.
(Cuts to Solana striding down a hallway.)
Solana- Dr. Atrades, I got a patient with osteomyalitis who needs a bone biopsy. Who do you use?
Roas (grimacing)- You put me in an awkward spot, because I'm a healer and I WANT to help, but speaking to you would acknowledge your existence, and you don't exist. Soooo, I'm going to address the stapler. Hi, stapler, the red is killer. By the way, there's a certain Dr. Ironfist who's just the most wonderful bone doctor guy. (Solana starts to leave.) What? What's that? Oh, she's... she's an actual doctor. (Starts laughing.)
Solana- NEITHER of you are very funny!
Kiyone- Solana, here are your lab results.
Solana (teary)- Oh, my God, Kiyone...
Kiyone- Solana, honey, what's wrong?
Zero (eyes wide)- Yeah, Solana, honey, what's wrong? (Makes a slashing motion to keep quiet.)
Solana- Nothing. I'm just very emotional, because, um, Sadoul is tired of hanging out with me. I have to go.
Kiyone (sighing)- Another one. (Roas joins her.) Shoot.
(Roas zooms over to Sadoul and brings him back.)
Roas- Sadoul, I've been hearing what you're learning from Ecco and you've got some potential. You do. But, can I give you one piece of advice?
Sadoul- Please!
Roas- Learning something new is all about confidence. Hell, be a cocky bastard. Throw out a wink every once in a while. Show me a wink. Show me a wink.
(Sadoul flinches while shutting one eye a few times.)
Roas- Give me a wink.
(Sadoul obeys and adds a thumbs-up. Meanwhile, Roas zooms off and brings back Kiyone.)
Roas (pointing to Sadoul)- THAT'S the guy. That's the guy who stomped all over what our friend loves the most.
Kiyone- Well, hey, maybe he didn't mean to hurt her. When it comes to the ocean, Solana can be pretty obsessive...
Sadoul (winking and snapping at Kiyone)- Hey, baby.
Kiyone (taking off her stethoscope)- Oh, no, he did NOT just wink at me! (Rips off her name tag.) For the next five minutes, I am not a nurse. (Shoves everything into Roas' hands.)
Roas- Kiyone, Kiyone! (Grabs her shoulders.) There is a better way. (Sadoul is still winking at everyone in view.) I don't like it, but Ninya tells her friends everything about me. Embarrassing stuff, the fact that I don't like spiders. The point is, I'm sure that Solana has told you things about Sadoul. So, instead of yelling at him, why not calmly let him know that YOU know things that he thinks no one knows.
Kiyone (grinning evilly)- Oh, Sadoul, mind taking a walk with me?
Sadoul- Yeah.
(Roas smiles menacingly as Solana dashes up.)
Solana- Is Kiyone gone?
Roas- Yeah. She sure is.
Solana- Oh, thank God.
Roas- Say, Ecco?
Solana- Mmmm?
Roas- We're even.
Solana (shuts her eyes)- Oh, no.
(Starts with a close-up view of a remote located that's beeping. Zero is using it in the hospital to find something and encounters Solana.)
Solana- What is that?
Zero- This here is an electronic hide and seek game. The other person wears a sensor and the closer to them you get, the more it beeps.
Solana- Huh! Funsies! So Jean here has an aorta interge here and I need a surgical consult.
Zero (clicks the remote off)- Fire away.

Zero- I really don't have time for this.

Solana (apologetic)- Sorry, Zero.
(Zero continues on, remote beeping wildly and he chuckles triumphantly as he approaches a medcart and flips up the sliding door. A few plastic bags tumble out, revealing Lark.)
Lark- How bad would she look with green highlights?
Zero- I know. It is now my turn to hide. (Hands over the remote and gets the sensor.)
Lark- Okay, I'll count. Close a brother up. (Zero closes the sliding door on the cart, looks around, and dashes off to hide.)

Kiyone- Well, hey, maybe he didn't mean to hurt her. When it comes to the ocean, Solana can be pretty obsessive...
Sadoul (winking and snapping at Kiyone)- Hey, baby.
Kiyone (taking off her stethoscope)- Oh, no, he did NOT just wink at me! (Rips off her name tag.) For the next five minutes, I am not a nurse. (Shoves everything into Roas' hands.)
Roas- Kiyone, Kiyone! (Grabs her shoulders.) There is a better way. (Sadoul is still winking at everyone in view.) I don't like it, but Ninya tells her friends everything about me. Embarrassing stuff, the fact that I don't like spiders. The point is, I'm sure that Solana has told you things about Sadoul. So, instead of yelling at him, why not calmly let him know that YOU know things that he thinks no one knows.
Kiyone (grinning evilly)- Oh, Sadoul, mind taking a walk with me?
Sadoul- Yeah.
(Roas smiles menacingly as Solana dashes up.)
Solana- Is Kiyone gone?
Roas- Yeah. She sure is.
Solana- Oh, thank God.
Roas- Say, Ecco?
Solana- Mmmm?
Roas- We're even.
Solana (shuts her eyes)- Oh, no.
