Mark: Mucho masturbation!

    • Especially the "impromptu salon in honour of the death of Bohemia".

  • The following exchange in "Life Support" when Mark goes to a Life Support meeting with Angel and Collins yet does not want the others to think he is HIV positive.

Mark: Sorry, excuse me- oops!
Paul: And you are?
Mark: Oh, I'm not- I'm just here to- I don't have- I'm here with-- Maaaarkk, Mark! I'm Mark! Well, this is quite an operation.

  • Adorkability Levels Rising: At the beginning of Tango: Maureen, Mark quickly advances on Joanne and spontaneously busts out with some of the most jarring, awkward dance moves imaginable. She looks startled and backs away slightly.
  • Collins' Oh Crap moment. "I may be detained."

"What does he mean? What do you mean 'detained'?"

  • A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, during "Christmas Bells".

Collins: That's my coat!
Saleswoman: We offer discounts.

Roger: With you?
Mimi: With my father.
