Quotes 

• Dr. Mark Greene : [to Rachel]  I was trying to figure out what I should have already told you, but I never have. Something important, something every father should impart to his daughter. I finally got it: generosity. Be generous, with your time, with your love, with your life.

  Rachel : Okay.

  Dr. Mark Greene : I'm sorry, Rachel. I'm so tired.

  Rachel : It's okay.

  Dr. Mark Greene : Don't cry for me.

  Rachel : I won't.

  Dr. Mark Greene : Be generous... always.

  Rachel : I will. Daddy. I remember the lullaby. I remember you used to sing it to me every night. I remember.

• Dr. Mark Greene : I'd get here at 6 a.m., sweep up, mop the locker rooms, skim the pool. $1.25 an hour.

  Rachel : That's slave wages.

  Dr. Mark Greene : It was enough to keep me in new records and good weed.

  [Rachel looks at Mark, surprised] 

  Dr. Mark Greene : What? You know, records, LPs, vinyls. Those funny, big black things that your hip-hop heroes are always ripping off for their songs.

• Dr. Mark Greene : Rachel, damn it, stop. I love you. Please, don't do this. I don't I don't know what to do. I don't have time to work this through. I'm not gonna be here in a year to help. You got a bastard of a father who was never around and then went off and had a new baby. Your mom got remarried to a creep. She works too much. You got a raw deal, all right? Why not get high? No one gives a damn about you anyway. I know how that feels. I remember being 14 and pissed off at my dad and the world. What are you gonna do when I'm not here? Who is gonna keep you from killing yourself?

• Dr. Mark Greene : [Reading his bucket list to Elizabeth]  Start a rock band and end up on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

  Elizabeth Corday : Do you even play an instrument?

  Dr. Mark Greene : No, but I always wanted to trash a hotel room.
