In Scrubs, Elliot (blonde girl doctor) was talking to her boyfriend Sean (blondish boy sea-world worker) about how Dr!. Kelso (chief of medicine and jackass lol) was like her great white whale!. He said "Oh!. Mines Frank!." And then a white whale comes up and he feeds him a fish!. Elliot says "No, I mean like in Moby Dick!." And he says, "Oh!. Because you know, I love Frank!."
I think it's in season three if you need to you can watch the episode here: scrubstv!.net!. Either season three or four and I think the episode is actually called My White Whale lol!.


Edit:
Yup!. Season three episode three!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
