Mark Greene
- Dr. Susan Lewis: All he did was talk about his ex for 45 minutes, who also happened to be named Susan. How much he loved her, how much he wanted to marry her, how much he wanted to have 5 or 6 children with her... Do I want children?... Do I want 5 or 6 children?
- Dr. Mark Greene: Okay, Tad could be worse.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: I'm not even there yet, Mark. I look over, and he has this drop of red wine hanging from his nose.
- Dr. Mark Greene: What?
- Dr. Susan Lewis: You heard me, this puny little blob just hanging there. So of course I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Is it gonna fall? is it gonna hang there all night? Is his skin gonna absorb it?
- Dr. Mark Greene: How did it get there?
- Dr. Susan Lewis: Mark!
- Dr. Mark Greene: No really, how do you get your nose that far into a wine glass? Was he smelling it or...
- Dr. Susan Lewis: [laughing] Mark, please!
- Dr. Mark Greene: What happened?
- Dr. Susan Lewis: I went to the bathroom and snuck out the window.
- Dr. Mark Greene: You're kidding.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: Nope.
- Dr. Mark Greene: Wow.
- Dr. Elizabeth Corday: That's it, Mark. I'm not stayin' here anymore. Every faucet leaks; your toilet actually rocks.
- Dr. Mark Greene: I kind of like that.
- Dr. Elizabeth Corday: There are things scurrying about in the walls. Do you know what scurries about in walls, Mark?
- Dr. Mark Greene: Bunnies?
- Jerry Markovic: Dr. Ross, this came for you.
- Dr. Mark Greene: Bad news?
- Dr. Doug Ross: No. Just got denied a loan by a bank whose motto is "We loan money to anyone."
- Dr. Mark Greene: [to the bickering Chen and Malucci] You know why we only had one kid? So I wouldn't have to deal with the two of them fighting in the backseat.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: [Greene and Lewis discussing the hospital gossip about them] Mmm, yeah, and what is that, can I ask you? My car's in the shop, I drop Susie off at my parents, meet up with you to go tequila shopping, and all of a sudden we're having a torrid affair?
- Dr. Mark Greene: Who said it was torrid?
- Dr. Susan Lewis: No one, I'm just assuming it would be.
- [Greene looks at her]
- Dr. Susan Lewis: That's not what I meant.
- Dr. Mark Greene: That's OK, I know what you meant... I'm sure it would be too... Why wouldn't it be?
- Dr. Susan Lewis: ...No reason at all.
- [she stares at Greene and then at her margarita]
- Dr. Susan Lewis: There's not enough lime in this.
- Dr. Mark Greene: [Going over a new colour schedule] Doug, you have a problem?
- Dr. Doug Ross: No, just call me Mr. Blue.
- Dr. Elizabeth Corday: You might consider boarding school. She could use some structure
- Dr. Mark Greene: I could sell her off to pirates.
- Dr. Elizabeth Corday: You develop a sense of self worth, community, respect... it worked well for me.
- Dr. Mark Greene: Yeah, but...
- Dr. Elizabeth Corday: But what?
- Dr. Mark Greene: You're British.
- Dr. Mark Greene: You know, people think kids don't listen to their parents, but they do. And if you tell them they are nothing, they think they are nothing.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: Hey, what do you use for maggots these days?
- Dr. Mark Greene: It's a nice thought, but Kerry's immune to it...
- Abby Lockhart: You're nicer than I am.
- Dr. Mark Greene: That's not much solace.
- Abby Lockhart: I'm sorry.
- Dr. Mark Greene: I feel like I'm in Junior High School again.
- Dr. Susan Lewis: [Weaver approaches them] Ooh, here comes the assistant principal.
- Nurse Lydia Wright: [first lines of the series] Doctor Greene. Doctor Greene!
- Dr. Mark Greene: What is it?
- Nurse Lydia Wright: Patient for you, Doctor Greene.
- [On a rapist in trauma]
- Malik: Let the bastard die.
- Dr. Mark Greene: He's a patient like any other. He gets our best effort.
- Dr. Mark Greene: [to young patient] Next time you have a pinata, make sure the other kids are done swinging at it before you dive for the candy, okay?
