And I guess the other thing is that Dan's speech was something that you just can't ignore because of how honest and sincere it was. Such a great scene.
@@jimmy2k4o I think it could also be at around 1:00 because he relaxes and shrinks a little, telling us that he’s comfortable around him enough to let down his guard.
0:47 0:58 and 1:17 there is no dialouge from cox, but there is such a wide range of emotions from dismissive to attentive to genuine respect. credit to the actor 👏👏👏
47 - "alright, I'm listening" 58 - "oh crap, he has a legitimate point" 1.17 - "I've got to make some changes" A 30 second revelation. The kind of thing Scrubs does so perfectly that it can be a sitcom and still execute drama so effortlessly.
1:27 He looks him up and down and keeps his gaze on him just a second longer while he's turning around. He's surprised and in deep respect of Dan's boldness and love for his brother. The most important things said from Doctor Cox came from, not his mouth, but his eyes.
The best part about this is Dan didn't get credit for it. JD had no idea that Dan came through for him and helped him like this. It was heroic. He didn't do it for any self gain didn't get anything out of it, he did it purely because he really cared for his little brother.
I love how Dan exhales at the end after Cox walks away. As tough as he was acting on behalf of his little brother he was still pretty scared of him. This was Scrubs at its finest. All the best
I don't think it was acting though. there have been a ton of situations where I just had to step up, get past my own insecurities, and it felt like a workout. this whole clip is talking about the strength of courage, and that tired feeling at the end gives you a sense of peace and assurance that what you did was great
My favourite scene in Scrubs. Fantastic acting from Tom Cavanagh but I think McGinleys acting in this scene is very underrated. Without any lines, he manages to convey shame and respect for Dan fantastically.
Actually it is a well known acting trick. Show very little expression or change of expression, and the audience will transcribe their own idea of what a character is feeling onto the character in question. If you actually look at McGinley, you'll see not a muscle moves on his face, except for the fact that he swallows. It's a very interesting psychological effect.
One of my favourite scenes too. What moved me is he is dressing down Dr. Cox whilst still being respectful, referring to him as "Dr. Cox" and not overtly threatening him, but reasoning with him. Truly underrated scene
That sigh at the end was a nice touch. When you confront someone you wouldn't normally confront and aren't sure how it's going to go and it comes off you're like "whew, I really just did that!"
For all of his bravado, Cox is always man enough to back down when he realizes someone else is right. One of the best developed TV characters of our era.
Cox is actually a very caring person, which is why he’s a great doctor, and why he takes Dan seriously. He doesn’t want to break JD down, and hearing Dan tell him he’s doing just that is a huge realization
@@darthlazurus4382 Probably not. It was his first year and I think it was made obvious that he didn't need some encouragement to continue, but that he really wasn't cut for being a clinic doctor. Cox probably wouldn't have been angry, but I don't think he would have been very supportive either, especially in Season 1.
JD mentions that in the episodes where Cox has a mental breakdown and stops being a doctor for a short while. All of his friends pull together to try and convince him to come back to being the good doctor they all know he's meant to be, but it was JD who said that 'after all these years of being on the job, he still took it that hard when he lost a patient and that JD hoped that, when he got to Cox' age, that's the kind of doctor he'd wanna be'. Cox, like every other doctor ever, has a coping mechanism to deal with all the tragedy he needs to face on a daily basis. His shield is cynicism, but everyone who knows him also knows that's not the real him. It's just the front he puts up to defend himself against all the pain and deep down, he cares about his patients more than any other doctor, with the exception of JD, which Cox himself admits in the final episode. He cares and sometimes he cares too much and it overwhelms him, but it's also what makes him a great doctor and it's the whole reason JD looks up to him as a father figure, regardless of how annoyed Cox gets at that.
This scene was originally meant to be between Dr. Cox and JD's father, played by John Ritter. However, due to Ritter's untimely death, the scene had to be adjusted for JD's big brother Dan.
Mark Guerrero there is a big difference that even five years makes. I’m 23 I look at 18 year olds like they’re kids because honestly they are. I think I am too don’t get me wrong but it is a thing
It's awesome that as soon Dan starts being serious, neither of them break eye contact; even for the handshake. Dr. Cox knows the message being told to him and Dan to show his intention. Awesome acting from both guys here!
Scenes like this one, is the reason why Scrubs are amongst the very best tv shows. Certainly one of, if not the best comedy series ever. Great acting all round. Especially McGinley. He is such an underrated/under appreciated actor
1:31 LOVE the facial expression of Dan realizing he stood in for his brother against a tough guy. Really speaks for itself how much he loves his little brother JD although he is a good-for-nothing brother!
Probably one of the most powerful, beautiful, and underrated moments in this series. Moments like these is what gave scrubs heart and depth outside of the silliness
The most tragic moment in this clip is at 1:07, when Dan admits that he will never have J.D.'s respect, and the inflection and facial expression when he says the word "ever" shows just how sad is Dan about failing and disappointing his younger brother so often throughout their lives that the very concept of respect is unsalvageable. He will continue to hide behind a facade of "screwing up" because he has no choice, because that's what J.D. has always known, and because Dan doesn't know any better and has accepted his role as the screw-up. But Dan is at least willing to pass that torch to the one person who can do better, who can be a better mentor than he ever could've been, and that is the most respectable thing of all.
Indeed. At this point in the series, Dan has big "peaked in high school" energy. All the people who used to worship him and get blown away by him have all moved on to bigger and better things. Meanwhile, he's a part-time bartender who occasionally runs random errands for extra money. But part of him probably always believed that he would always at least have the admiration of his little brother. The realization that JD thinks he's a dick and a loser must cut very deep...
The great thing, who we wouldn't find out until years later if we were watching this in the original airdates, is that Dan did became successful. Fantastic!
The thing Cox respects the most about JD is how much he cares. It is sometimes mentioned during the show, even by Cox himself, that Elliot is better at medicine and at some point even better in crashing situations. But what JDs brings to the table is commitment and care for his patients, something you just can't learn from a book. So hearing from someone that Cox is actually beating the one thing he truely loves about his protege out of him must have really hurt. For Cox the "I'm a cynical asshole and don't care"-mask is just protection, but for JD it started to become a real thing, which was dangerous
The Acting in this scene is so good. You can see Cox preparing to rip into Dan after he is finished with his speech but in the end he was speechless because Dan not only was right... but because Dan didnt show any weakness during the second half of his Speech. He was dead serious. Sometimes i think the writers prepared 2 outcomes to such scenes and the actors can choose what they say because its just too perfect. Or the Writing and Acting just is so great it feels natural.
That's what I love about Dr Cox, he's so confident and arrogant but when people drop their guard and say something real, he recognizes it and respect their words and take it into his consideration. Dr Cox is a true man that's why everyone looks up to him.
Dan sure has some courage. Not for confronting Cox about his brother. But to actually act upon seeing the horrors of his own brother becoming twisted. And to put his thoughts into convincing words. I don't know if I'll have the same courage or wisdom to do that.
It hit me so hard then and it still does: trying your best to look after a younger sibling is extremely underrated. A baby brother or sister is someone you spend probably more time with than anyone else. You learn from your parents, you guide your children, and those are monumentally important relationships too, of course, but I love how they showed him protecting Johnny without the writers coming off as preachy or too on the nose. As someone who loves his baby brother to death (he's gonna be thirty soon but he'll always be the baby), I couldn't have identified more with this scene.
My favorite part of this scene is how you can literally see the hard shell of dr. cox flare up for .01 seconds, but he quickly realizes how right dan is, backs down to reflect, and has a quick moment of feeling shame for not being the mentor he knows he's capableof being. Making Dan one of the few people to leave dr. Cox speechless. BUT Dan, being the good guy he is deep down, breaks that silence and saves dr. Cox from a self-inflicted emotional beating by extending his hand and saying "it was good to see ya dr. Cox."... such a solid character
I love the detail of Dan letting out that exhale of exasperation at the end. This isn't Dan's strong suit. He's not the responsible guy, he's not the confrontational guy. He's a laid back slacker, who in this instance, had to push way outside his comfort zone to do what was right. And as someone who identifies with Dan's personality type, I can tell you, when you have to be THAT person, the type of person that basically goes against your entire personality... it's a little terrifying and exhausting.
What I love about this scene is JD's brother didn't always come through for him but this time he did and he doesn't care if he gets credit for it or not he just wants his brother to be happy
Damn. The wonderful thing about Dr. Cox is that he will listen to you if deep down, he knows you are right. The wonderful thing about Dan is he did this knowing he would never get the recognition for it.
This has to be the single best moment of JD’s brother on the show. I’m the eldest son in my family. So I can sympathize with being the big bro no one listened to. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎
Cox fucking loved that Dan did that for JD. The fact that John C McGinley said everything by saying nothing in that moment is why he was the best character in the show.
This is maybe the best one-on-one scene in all of comedy/drama television history, stripped down to its core. No explosions. No relationshipy-bs. Just 2 men hammering out a solution after breaking through the artificial barriers and biases. Well acted by both men and well written by Bill Lawrence and/or the Scrubs writing staff. This is as good as TV gets and a great usage of it for conveying real life matters.
Dr Cox is one of those rare characters. As he is arrogant but when others point out his faults he see them straight away. Here he knew he was having a negative effect on J.D. And knowing all the moaning could make the job more of a burden then a job with pride. So he knew he had to make some slight changes. And he does as he knows it’s the right thing to do. Dr Cox is one of my top 5 characters written for a sitcom.
Dan was one of the few people that Cox unequivocally respected. Everyone else he either looked down on or mixed his respect with disdain, but not Dan. And Dan's the screwup.
here because my little brother just turned 18 yesterday and it really got me thinking. like it feels so bizzare to remember the kid i grew up with isn't a kid anymore, and i remember resonating so much with this scene when i first watched it a couple years back because a lot of the differences between dan and JD can really be applied to myself and him. he's the academic smart kid while i'm the sort of light-hearted funny dumb one; barely a sibling he could look up to and take after, and watching this again really struck those chords in me all the more. of course i was jealous of him as a kid and thus let that part of me out on him more than once, but these days i hope he knows i'm real proud of him.
When I was still in the policing game, I knew Tom's brother James as a Crown Attorney here in Ottawa. A very nice, smart and funny man. I guess it runs in the family.
This in my top 5 scrubs moments dan actually stepping up. But my fav thing is when this reverses when Dr cox gets dan to step up and help jd through their fathers death
A great actor does not need a lot of dialogue to convey his point or emotions. And i agree both actors do an incredible job in that department. When i first saw SCRUBS i thought id have a tough time getting that whinny Platoon charector out of my head. (Incidently another great portrayal) but after one episode he flipped that script on its head. Great job all around.
What I loved about Dan was that he knew he fell short of Dorians line. He was ok with that but demanded others live up to his bothers expectaions. There is a wild darkness in knowing you failed but did your best
This is the great thing about Dr Cox. He never ignores people when they're telling him something real.
Because he's the real guy!
Unless you're John Dorian expressing your true feelings to Dr. Cox 😉
@@HaloManTheSpider that's coz he has to see Dorian everyday. And he doesn't want everyday to be like this. He likes people being real once in a while
And I guess the other thing is that Dan's speech was something that you just can't ignore because of how honest and sincere it was. Such a great scene.
@@jpryan90 he's often genuine.

I'm pretty sure Cox would have tried to comfort Nick Murdoch during his breakdown (season 1, My Super Ego).

Aw, I love this writing.
One might think Dan's goals are beyond our understanding, but he just wants his little brother to be happy
Always amazed at how a slapstick style sitcom manages to be so emotionally powerful. Once in a lifetime show ❤️
When a hero meets a hero.... There will always be respect...

My favorite scene in the entire show
Yeah! Love the human-ness of Scrubs. Every so often brings up what is important in life and re-enforces what we love about the show.
This is one of the best scenes in the series IMO.
Actually Dan, people don’t like you because you ruined Barry Allen’s life
For those curious, in the next scene you can see Dr Cox taking it seriously and making sure he tells JD that he wouldnt trade his job for any other.
Brilliant acting
John C. McGinley deserves more credit for his use of microexpressions.
When Reverse Flash threatens you, you listen.
Damn. The wonderful thing about Dr. Cox is that he will listen to you if deep down, he knows you are right.
The wonderful thing about Dan is he did this knowing he would never get the recognition for it.
This was one of my favorite moments of the entire series
The actual title should be “The Council of Wells infiltrating the multiverse”
People thought Dan was a selfish screwup but he was something of the reverse
So awkward seeing the Reverse Flash and Dr Cox in the same scene
This has to be the single best moment of JD’s brother on the show. I’m the eldest son in my family. So I can sympathize with being the big bro no one listened to. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎
Its moments like this that makes this show so good. It teaches great lessons

here because my little brother just turned 18 yesterday and it really got me thinking. like it feels so bizzare to remember the kid i grew up with isn't a kid anymore, and i remember resonating so much with this scene when i first watched it a couple years back because a lot of the differences between dan and JD can really be applied to myself and him. he's the academic smart kid while i'm the sort of light-hearted funny dumb one; barely a sibling he could look up to and take after, and watching this again really struck those chords in me all the more. of course i was jealous of him as a kid and thus let that part of me out on him more than once, but these days i hope he knows i'm real proud of him.
It's a good thing Cox wised up, Reverse flash is a very very VERY spiteful man
When I was still in the policing game, I knew Tom's brother James as a Crown Attorney here in Ottawa. A very nice, smart and funny man. I guess it runs in the family.
One of the best moments in this series
Most underrated scene.
Love can give you strength you never knew you had.
Dammit Barry, stop fucking up the timeline!
Why is Dr Cox pissing off the Reverse Flash
Cox better careful, Thawne could pass his hand through his heart, boom, he's dead.
This is sill one of my all time fave moments, his brother had no need for credit. All he needed to know was that his brother was looked after xx
This was always one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. Big brother lives up to his name.
This in my top 5 scrubs moments dan actually stepping up. But my fav thing is when this reverses when Dr cox gets dan to step up and help jd through their fathers death
To this day.. my favorite scene of this show
A great actor does not need a lot of dialogue to convey his point or emotions. And i agree both actors do an incredible job in that department. When i first saw SCRUBS i thought id have a tough time getting that whinny Platoon charector out of my head. (Incidently another great portrayal) but after one episode he flipped that script on its head. Great job all around.
Reverse-Flash doesn't make half hearted threats.
First, it was weird to see Tom on the Flash, but now, it's weird to see him on Scrubs xD
Miss this show.. Seems like every episode ends with a great point
What I loved about Dan was that he knew he fell short of Dorians line. He was ok with that but demanded others live up to his bothers expectaions. There is a wild darkness in knowing you failed but did your best
Touching scene but the Cox spiel about Not giving a crap is one of my favorite lines of dialogue in the whole series.
Damn this was beautiful
The way he said "ever" gets me every time.
