- Dr. Doug Ross: What can I say about Mark Greene that hasn't already been said? I think everybody knows how he overcame adversity as a child of Quakers, his years in exile, his political writings and limericks, his mod period with the turtlenecks, his blue period, and of course, his ruthless march to power and the silencing of his rivals.
- Nurse Haleh Adams: I've known Mark Greene since he was a wet-behind-the-ears med student. He had the most beautiful curly blond hair, and so polite. All I'd do was ask and he would be cleaning the bedpans and changing the sheets. He was the best scut-puppy I ever had.
- Nurse Wendy Goldman: So would you say that, back then, he was sort of 'green'?
- Nurse Haleh Adams: No, Wendy, I would never say that.
- Jerry Markovic: Dr. Lewis, can you do an employee physical?
- Dr. Susan Lewis: On who?
- Jerry Markovic: Randi.
- [to Randi]
- Dr. Susan Lewis: Breathe in.
- [Randi breaths in]
- Dr. Susan Lewis: Breathe out.
- [Randi breaths out]
- Dr. Susan Lewis: She's fine. Where's the form?
- Dr. Mark Greene: An exciting case? Here's one: Guy comes in, hypovolemic shock. Defibrillated ten, fifteen times. We maxed out on lidocaine, added bretylium, finally shocked him back to sinus, goes bradycardic. So I float a transvenous pacemaker, get capture, he stops breathing. I had to climb on, intubate him cowboy-style right there on the table.
- Nurse Wendy Goldman: Wow.
- Dr. Mark Greene: Man.
- Nurse Wendy Goldman: What happened?
- Dr. Mark Greene: He died.
