• Sean McNamara : I know your body. I always have. I know where you live and breathe.

  Julia McNamara : Then how come I haven't had an orgasm in two years?

  Sean McNamara : Because I didn't want to work that hard.

• Sean McNamara : Remember, We're treating a patient here, not just a vagina.

  Christian Troy : That's easy for you to say. You've never been with Vagina Gina.

• Sean McNamara : Erotic is when you use a fetaher. Porn is when you use the whole chicken... and this girl's been through A LOT of chicken.

• Sean McNamara : Matt's having trouble at school, and he told you this?

  Christian Troy : He's torn up. I guess he was showering in gym and shit and some tough guys were laughing at him and calling him AntEater.

  Sean McNamara : AntEater?

  Christian Troy : Basically, he's self-conscious about his dick, and he wants a circumcision.

  Sean McNamara : He doesn't need a circumcision. That's a vanity operation.

  Christian Troy : We're in the vanity business, Sean. It's what we do. Appearance is everything to a kid. It's how you fit in. Snip, snip, he feels better about himself, and you, sir, can make that happen. How cool is fatherhood?

  Sean McNamara : I'm not doing anything to my son's penis or my wife's breasts. I don't want my family infected by what we do here.

• Grace Santiago : I keep forgetting about the hierarchy of McNamara/Troy, I keep imagining I'm apart of it.

  Sean McNamara : You were brought aboard with the promise of parity.

  Grace Santiago : What about respect? It's because I slept with Christian, isn't it? Suddenly I'm no longer a professional with credentials, I'm just his latest conquest.

  Sean McNamara : I'm not here to pass judgement on your promiscuity.

  Grace Santiago : Why don't you admit it Sean. You're operating out of repressed rage because I rejected you and slept with your partner.

  Sean McNamara : Dr. Santiago, as a professional, it should have been obvious when I came on to you that I was acting out because of trouble with my marriage, it wasn't personal. It could have been anyone after you.

  [Grace storms off] 

• Matt McNamara : Look, what's happened between the three of you is painful. But we can fix this.

  Sean McNamara : Your Mother slept with my best friend, and you were the result, and I didn't know for 17 years, so stop defending them!

  Matt McNamara : Yeah, and my Mother is sleeping in a hotel because you kicked her out, and I can hear you crying thorough the walls at night, so don't you dare scream at me!

• Kimberly Henry : I don't understand this! I haven't heard form him since my operation. It thought that we were gonna be together.

  Sean McNamara : Ms. Henry, I think you're confusing Dr. Troy's pleasant and very thorough bedside manner with real emotions.

  Liz Winters : If it's any consolation to ya, honey, you're not the first girl he's done this to, but at least you got a good set of tits out of it, so heal in more ways than one and just go on with your life.

• Sean McNamara : Are you saying that I have your ineptitude to thank for my success?

  Christian Troy : No, you have my 10 inch dick to thank.

• [during an operation] 

  Sean McNamara : You're shaving too deep.

  Christian Troy : It's fine.

  Sean McNamara : Do you want it fine or do you want it perfect?

• Sean McNamara : Did you urinate in the soap dispenser, Matt? This act of aggression isn't funny, what's funny about it?

  Matt McNamara : This whole thing is funny, Dad. It's idiotic.

  Sean McNamara : I asked you a question, Matt. Did you do this?

  Matt McNamara : No.

  Sean McNamara : Adrian, was it you?

  Adrian Moore : Ohh. He's scary, your other dad.

  Sean McNamara : You're not leaving here until I get an answer.

  Ava Moore : Don't you dare threaten my son.

  Adrian Moore : Yeah, I urinated in the soap dispenser. You wanna spank me?

• Sean McNamara : [to Christian before his rectal exam after being raped by the Carver]  What part of you being or having an asshole could shock me?

• Dr. Erica Noughton : Why? Do you have a sub-conscious desire to harm me?

  Sean McNamara : I assure you, any desire I have to harm you is totally conscious.

• Sean McNamara : I'd rather be a good doctor who helps people than a brilliant doctor who hurts them.

• Julia McNamara : Do you know how long it has been since I have heard you laugh? Since I have even seen you be emotional about anything? Jesus, Sean, I haven't seen you cry since Matt was born.

  Sean McNamara : I'm not going to apologize for that. I'm a surgeon. If I get emotional patients die.

  Julia McNamara : I'm not one of your patients, Sean! I'm your wife! And on your watch, a death has occurred, the death of you and me. This marriage doesn't even have a pulse anymore.
