Carter and Mark in “24 Hours”

Carter

[sighs] I thought I was gonna be sick. [pause] I'm sorry.

Mark

Don't ever say you're sorry. See, there's two kinds of doctors: there's the kind that gets rid of their feelings, and the kind that keeps them. If you're gonna keep your feelings, you're gonna get sick from time to time. That's just how it works. [pause] Keep your head down. [pause, squats down beside Carter] People come in here and they're sick and dying and bleeding, and they need our help. Helping them is more important than how we feel.

Mark

But it's still a pain the ass sometimes.

Mark

Sometimes, I just want to quit and do something else. [looks at Carter and smiles] Yeah. [pause] Why don't you take a few more minutes?

Carter

[nods] Okay.

Mark

By the way, I was in medical school with Benton. He used to get sick all the time. So don't let him give you any crap. You'll be fine.
