"You did it." "No decision is easy, Sue. It only looks that way when you're young. When you're older, everything is complicated. There is no black and white, only gray."

WARNING: SPOILERS!

Here are some from memory, though I've not seen the film in a long time. Feel free to make corrections.


Nurse: "Oh, doctor, we're ready for you in O.R. 7"
Dr. Harris: "I asked for O.R. 8."
Nurse: "O.R. 8 is still occupied."
Dr. Harris: "I specifically requested O.R. 8 !"


"Doctors make the worst patients. They know too much!"


Something like....
Susan: "I'd like to see your chief administrator."
Mrs. Emerson: "We have no chief administrator."
Susan: "Then I'd like to see your doctor in charge."
Mrs. Emerson: "We have no doctor in charge."
Susan: "Well who runs your staff?"
Mrs. Emerson: "We have no staff."


"Good old George has the connections."


Kelly: "What you do that for??!"
Hitman: "They said make it look like an accident!"


Dr. Harris: "We have a serious problem, Susan. It seems you know everything."


Dr. Harris: Something like "These multi-million dollar hospital complexes are the cathedrals of our age. There are serious issues to be dealt with. Issues of life and death, the rights of the sick. Decisions have to be made. But society isn't deciding! It's leaving it to us. The experts. The doctors!"


Woman in the elevator: "I believe the doctor. Whatever the doctor say I believe."

reply

"don't kick me under the table, i'm not gonna shut up!"



Doncha know me Jim? I'm not Margret, I'm Edie. I didn't kill Frank DeLorca.

reply

"don't kick me under the table, i'm not gonna shut up!"


Omygosh! That's not COMA! That's THE CHINA SYNDROME, and I just watched the two movies back to back this weekend!!!!! Quel concidence!

reply

"Somebody's putting people into comas!"

****SPOILERS****

Susan: "There's a gas line that starts in the basement, and goes up the tunnel and feeds into the oxygen line for OR-8! Oh the bodies! Mark, we've got to do something!"

Mark: "Shhhhh, take a Valium."

reply

Suzan: "Hey, Mark- get your own beer!"

reply

"What do you think....There's a conspiracy at the Boston Memorial Hospital?"

"We must always take the long view....Not of the individual but society as a whole..."

reply

I found the opening apartment scene hilarious, since Mark is trying to tell Susan about his day, and she keeps responding with, "Did you start up dinner? Did you heat up dinner? It's already cooked; just heat it up. Why won't you help out?"

And also:

Mark: You know what your trouble is? You don't want a lover; you want a goddam wife!!!

reply

"There were so many bodies!"

reply

"She's red as a cherry down here"

reply

"The pupils, they're fixed, dialated. I don't know what the matter is, nothin's the matter!" Me and my sister always laugh at that part cause that guys voice is funny!

I agree, I guess it's how the guy said it, but it ALWAYS makes me laugh. I think Michael Douglas had some funny lines in here as well. Especially: "You don't want a boyfriend, you want a damn wife!!"

"I am the ultimate badass, you do not wanna `*beep*` wit' me!" Hudson in Aliens.

I saw this movie on VHS when I was a teen in the '90's, and that line really stuck with me. I didn't remember any other quote (though there were plenty more salient than that one). I watched Coma again yesterday (now in my 40's), and though the line came off just as unprofessional as when I heard it 30-odd years ago, I was able to better understand it in light of the science/medicine.

"What's the matter with Greenly?" "complete squash rot, she's a total Gomer"

Wow thanks for the quotes everyone.

First time I saw these...I guess I must have forgotten about this or I just didn't see there were replies.

reply

my favourite one:

- "How do you feel about what happened to Nancy?"
- "Confused. That's all. Just confused. It's very... confusing!"

brilliant writing. :D


I got worse things to worry about than space aliens

My absolute favorite is Dr. Harris, after feigning counseling to Susan, closes the door after she leaves and says "Women, Christ." Lol moment.

reply

I thought the computer guy suddenly asking her what her dating situation was funny.
