<description>J.D.: You know, when you stop being frightened, time really is on your side. And you can just go on being you.

Dr. Cox: It&#x27;s time. Sit down, and listen up, Newbie. I suppose you want me to say you&#x27;re great? That you&#x27;ve raised the bar for interns everywhere? 
J.D.: I&#x27;m cool with that! 
Dr. Cox: Well, I&#x27;m not going to say that. You&#x27;re doing ok. Someday you might even be better than that. But right now, all I see is a guy who&#x27;s so preoccupied with wondering what everyone else thinks about him, that he doesn&#x27;t have anytime to think whether or not he believes in himself. DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY I TOLD YOU TO WRITE YOUR OWN EVALUATION? 
J.D.: I don&#x27;t have a safe answer for that. I just figured that... you... 
Dr. Cox: Clam up, Newbie! I wanted you to think about yourself... AND I MEAN REALLY THINK!... What are you good at? What do you suck at? And write it down. Not so I could read it, or anyone else could read it. BUT SO YOU COULD READ IT! You see in the end, Newbie, you don&#x27;t have t...</description>

<description>Will Hayes: I had two serious girlfriends... and then some other smattering of other women. 
Maya Hayes: What&#x27;s the boy word for &#x27;slut&#x27;? 
Will Hayes: They still haven&#x27;t come up with one yet. 

Maya Hayes: Dad, I can&#x27;t believe you drank... and smoked... and was such a slut... But I still love you.

Will Hayes: I wanna marry you because you&#x27;re the first person I wanna look at when I wake up and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands I couldn&#x27;t imagine how it would look old.

<title>Speed racer</title>
<description>Pops Racer: You think you can drive a car and change the world? It doesn&#x27;t work like that!
Speed: Maybe not, but it&#x27;s the only thing I know how to do and I gotta do something. 

Speed: Racing hasn&#x27;t changed, and it never will.
Racer X: It doesn&#x27;t matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us. Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. You don&#x27;t climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you&#x27;re driven. 

Mr. Royalton: Pancakes are love. 

Rex: [to Speed] Stop steering and start driving. This ain&#x27;t no dead piece of metal. A car&#x27;s a living, breathing thing, and she&#x27;s alive. Feel it talking to you. Telling you what she wants, what she needs. All you gotta do is listen. Close your eyes and listen. 

Pops Racer: I couldn&#x27;t have been more proud of you, son. Not because you won, but because you stood up, you weren&#x27;t afraid, and you did what you thought was right.
Speed: It didn&#x27;t amount to anything. It was completely meaningless.
