Jake Peralta : Okay. We have a few more questions for you, doctor.
Captain Ray Holt : Doctor. Huh. It's funny when people call dentists "doctor".
Philip Davidson : We are doctors. We do four years of medical school.
Captain Ray Holt : Yeah, but it's called "dental school".
Philip Davidson : But we learn about the entire body.
Captain Ray Holt : But if you had cancer, you wouldn't call a dentist.
Philip Davidson : You know it's actually harder to get into dental school than medical school.
Captain Ray Holt : Well, because there are fewer dental schools. Because most people want to become actual doctors.
Philip Davidson : That's ridiculous. It's not like we're college professors calling ourselves "doctors".
Captain Ray Holt : Not the same thing, my friend.
Philip Davidson : Well, sure it is. When someone has a heart attack on a plane, do they yell out, "Yo, does anybody here have an Art History PhD?"
Captain Ray Holt : A PhD is a doctorate. It's literally describing a doctor.
Jake Peralta : Maybe let's refocus.
Captain Ray Holt : No! The problem here is that medical practitioners have co-opted the word "doctor".
Jake Peralta : Okay, Captain...
Captain Ray Holt : I know we live in a world where anything can mean anything, and nobody even cares about etymolo-!
Captain Ray Holt : Apparently that's a trigger for me.
Jake Peralta : Yeah, apparently.
