He needs a chest tube.
Mother? May I? Chest tube? [he smiles a big smile]
Step in.
S7 E6The Visit
[about Benton's nephew] I love this guy. He's a medical education in one convenient package, you know?
S7 E7Rescue Me
Why are you so damn stubborn?
It's called self-protection.
[to Elizabeth about the Patterson malpractice suit] When his lawyers get through with you, you'll be lucky if you're slinging fish and chips back in England!
Mark, I have something to tell you. It's not going to be easy.
Go ahead.
Well, I know it's not exactly the best time, but, what the hell. I'm pregnant! Chen did an ultrasound. [long pause] What you thinking?
I think it's wonderful.
[They hug]
I love you
I love you, too.
S7 E8The Dance We Do
Don't you sass me! I'm your mother!
Not by choice.
I lied. I lied! The fact is I rushed. I rushed through, and didn't inspect the entire surgical field. That man will never walk again because I wanted to get out early for the weekend. And I couldn't even claim responsibility. I sat there, and I swore to God, and I lied to save myself.
God owes us one...I think you're allowed to be selfish for a while. [he moves his chair closer to hers] I didn't run into a street sign...I had a biopsy...Those headaches weren't from hockey.
[Mark has just told Carter that he has an inoperable brain tumor]
Oh, Mark, I'm sorry. What are you gonna do?
Die, I guess.
Legaspi was trying to find a bed for your mom, and she just took off.
I figured. Thanks.
Thought maybe you'd want to check your apartment...
She's not there.
You checked?
No. This is the end of the cycle. Our cycle. She disappears and for months, I don't know where she is or what she's doing or if she's alive. And then eventually, she'll turn up somewhere, and I'll have to deal with it.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I knew how it would end when she showed up. It's the dance we do. You get lost in it for a little while, but it always ends the same.
S7 E9The Greatest of Gifts
I'm being selfish. I have the money to raise him. There's no reason why I can't.
There's a couple out there who desperately want to raise a child and you're giving them a great gift.
What happens eighteen years from now when he shows up looking for an explanation?
Tell him the truth. You know, tell him that you wanted to provide the best home possible for him.
Do I tell him I was a coward? That my bigoted parents were more important to me than he was?
Well, I think that you've got to take your family out of this. Now, if you want to keep the baby, keep the baby. But if you don't, or you can't, then you want to make sure that he goes to somebody that's going to love him, who's going to want him and know that you're not abandoning your baby, you're creating a family.
I can't believe they call it a tumor board.
Why? They discuss tumors.
No, but you'd think they could come up with something a little more aesthetic.
Like what?
I don't know. Er, "You're Completely Boned" board.
I heard they used to call it the "Poor Bastard" board, but too many people were showing up.
Someone told me that they tried the "Take Me Out Back and Shoot Me Now" board for a while.
What, didn't stick?
No, surprisingly.
Why not?
Too many letters, I guess.
Mmm, pity.
Elizabeth? [pauses] Will we have this baby either way?
What?
If that man comes out, and tells me we won't beat it, will we still have the baby?
Of course.
KKim
I don't need any more friends.
Oh. Okay, okay, I understand.
KKim
Do you?
No. I like you and I respect you, and I thought we were really hitting it off.
KKim
Well, that's the problem. You're straight and I'm not. And I've done this before, and it didn't work out and I am not going to do it again.
Yeah, but I am not asking for that from you. I mean, we're comfortable together, we have a lot in common, we have fun together.
[Kim suddenly kisses Kerry, who pulls away]
KKim
That's why I can't be your friend, Kerry.
S7 E10Piece Of Mind
It's weird, you know...how I've sent a couple of thousand people to the OR and...
And?
And never been there myself.
[Mark is talking to another surgical patient, a young boy]
LLeo
I've got something growing on my heart. I'm not sure how to say it right.
Myxoma?
LLeo
No, but it sounds like that.
Teratoma?
LLeo
How'd you know?
I'm a doctor
LLeo
Yeah, right.
Doctors get sick too, you know.
I got a page. What surgical consult?
A guy in curtain two has a beeper up his rectum.
What?
He has it on vibrate. I can't figure out how he slipped it in there.
Never underestimate the elasticity of the anal sphincter.
