The better part is what Kelso says immediately after. I really like to think both Cox and Kelso both arrived at that "bastard coated bastards" belief completely by themselves.
It's a hard truth but Dr Cox is so very right. There are some true monsters in this world and in history. Not everyone is a good person deep down. When it comes to truly shitty people, there is no deep down
this clip is proof why scrubs was the greatest show ever solid jokes great unique characters and the subtle jokes most people dont even notice like how doctor cox has a black stethoscope and doctor kelso has a golden one where everyone one elses is regular
Molly is the proof that there's no need to be hard or harsh with people to look strong, you only need to be secure, no body in the hospital could bring her down even cox and kelso
That is not security, that’s the ultimate naive and childish mindset of a girl who’s benefited from special treatment her entire life because she’s cute.
Greatest line ever delivered deadpan---"Ohhhh, I am so very angry that I'm going to find somebody to kill just to prove her wrong." John C. McGinley rules.
The entire premise of Dr. Cox is that he's self-loathing and thus hates everyone else also. Saying I need to kill someone in a whimsical voice isn't in character. Him smashing Franklin's lab on the other hand... @@blppt
i have such a love/hate relationship with this episode... on the one hand, i think what dr. cox says here (especially the "bubble-headed optimists vomiting sunshine"-part) is hands down the best quote of the whole show and possibly the best line i've ever heard in any TV show but then they go ahead and violate everything that is great and true about it by making it look like molly was right all along. and that's why to me, it's at the same time the best and worst episode of the show.
"So very angry that I'm going to find someone to kill". Words I've said many times during my two year stint with migrant workers that were noisy, filthy, and lazy.
ALTERNATE UNIVERSE: Dr. Cox: Oh, I am so very angry that I'm going to find someone to kill, just to prove her wrong! JD: My brother's around here somewhere. Want me to get him? Dr. Cox: Judy, that might be the best idea you've had since you got here. Granted, that bar is so low an arthritic ant could clear it, but I'll take it anyway. Find him.
Im watching an episode of Hoarders right now and this kid on the show just said that his dad was a "bastard coated bastard with bastard filling" straight up plagiarism lol
Truer words have seldom been spoken. Perhaps a reason exists why a person is a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling, but it does not change the fact that this is what that person is.
Honestly, there really are truly altruistic people on the planet, who do their best to better the world. The problem is, the world isn't defined by those people. It's defined by those with power. And most powerful people are somewhere between neutral-neutral and chaotic-neutral. The thing is, most of these people are also methodical and pragmatic, so they don't go around screwing people for no reason. They are simply above that. However, people think that rich people are bastards, because the few powerful rich bastards get the media attention.
So nuanced 😄 Script writers definitely know the truth - and that is that every single human being (including most of violent criminals) have "a creamy center".
The higher their expectations of people, the harder they'll fall *when* they reach the end of that rope... Is it not sad that they'll have to realize this the hard way someday? Yeah it's life, and I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be there to hear the words "you were right" uttered from a shattered person.
And Hugh Jackman! Yes,.. ofcourse because, believe it or not, most of the world doesn't give a damn what happens to their neighbour, and not in the least what is happening in the rest of the world
Also, my question really is...if people really are such "bastards" and strongly feel that way towards each other, then is the compassion and concern expressed toward crisis and social causes really sincere...or is it two-faced? There seems to be very inconsistent messages between the favorable responses to Dr. Cox' comments and then responses to actual disastrous events.
The compassion and concern toward crisis and social causes is mostly from an egotistical viewpoint Examples: you want ME to stop smoking because it might hurt YOUR health the bonus is it will save me as well YOU want clean air for YOUR children, but you would force ME to work towards that same goal and people are mostly indifferent, only a few will actually take action, while the rest pay off their guilt with money and act shocked to make themselves seem sympathetic to a cause
But Cox is indifferent himself. He's indifferent and amused by the suffering of his subordinates - or at least John, and he likes to intimidate and verbally abuse them. His ex-wife seems the same way. CAUSING suffering is a bastardly trait. But simply not doing any harm in an already hurtful world is good enough and not at all bastardly.
I don't know if Cox is really causing suffering by being mocking and sarcastic--he isn't causing worse than hurt feelings. Cox may be unpleasant, but he's basically a humanitarian. He cares deeply about patients, and his opposition to the Iraq war also shows a healthy moral sense. Cox would probably say that few people have much compassion. I don't share his cynicism, but that is how he thinks.
I hate "naive bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine." Be who you must to get through life... just don't get any on me. I tried to be friends with someone like this and it only pissed me off how superficial of a belief it is... that there's goodness in everyone and that you can smile your problems away. All without paying attention to negative things cause "they get me down." I'd like to think I'd want to see when they find the end of that road, but even I won't be able to say "I told you so."
