Dr. Perry Cox : Let's go. Field trip.
Dr. Christopher Turk : I got things to do, you know.
Dr. Perry Cox : Let me guess. You're off to another funeral. I'll make you a deal: you come with me right now, and if you're still late for the graveyard, I will personally scour the obituaries with you this weekend, and we can just go nuts.
Dr. Christopher Turk : Did Carla put you up to this?
Dr. Perry Cox : [dryly] No, it was my idea. I desperately want to be close with you, I just can't figure out how to connect. Turn around. Turn around.

Dr. Perry Cox : You see Dr. Wen in there? He's explaining to that family that something went wrong and that the patient died. He's going to tell them what happened, and he's going to say he's sorry, and then he's going back to work. You think anybody else in that room's going back to work today? That is why we distance ourselves. That's why we make jokes. We don't do it because it's fun. We do it so we can get by. And sometimes because it's fun. But mostly, it's the getting by thing.
