Scrubs revival stars Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley share their favorite one-liners from the original series

Scrubs stars Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley are opening up about some iconic scenes of theirs from the show, particularly ones that are favorites of Reyes' son. Speaking to Deadline, both actors looked back at two one-liners from the show that has managed to stay with fans for a long time, as Reyes talked about how she improvised the scene.

Reyes talked about how her son who recently got into Scrubs loves Dr. Cox, played by McGinley's dialogue "wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong"

Speaking to the outlet she says,

Now every time, you know, we have an argument or something, he goes, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. So that's, that's my favorite. That's in my dreams now. Dr. Cox now haunts you and me.

She then talked about which of her scenes from the show are loved by her kids and she talked about an early scene of her character Carla Espinosa as she added,

"I don't know if it's the first or second scene, where I go off on JD. So me and, me and Aloma Wright, who played Laverne, just going, he, he said something smart to us. I was like, oh! And I just went all urban and Bronx on him and stuff like that. And then my kids going around saying, Mom, what's this? What's this?"
