Braff asked him what he feels when he sees Reyes now. “I get the vapors,” Faison said. He then added, “When I’m watching Scrubs now I’m like ‘Oh my gosh she’s so fine. What was I thinking? What did I do? How did I let that go?'”

“It would be nice to have that constant naughty threat of impeaching our poor, sweet President taken away. He doesn’t deserve it, my stars and garters (huy hiệu cấp tước Ga-tơ), he doesn’t.
