I just don't want my life or my death to be arbitrary.

Max

Max: How do we just accept that her death that anyone's death is random? Life, death, it can't be arbitrary.
Floyd: It's not.
Max: I just thought maybe it was something we missed. Maybe it was something we could've done differently. I could have done something differently.

If you clip that, she'll never walk again. Imagine that review.

Floyd: How bad?

My job is to give you the tools to get through the day. That's it.

Iggy

Avi: Thank you for you know trying to fix me. I'm sorry I let you down.
Iggy: You never let me down.

Helen: Do you want to tell me what this is really about.
Max: You aren't my doctor remember?

No! In what world would you think I'd stick around for this?

Floyd

Evie: There was a police officer that died on your table under your knife. You know that they're going to be looking for someone to blame. I hate to say it, but it sure feels like Max is trying to make sure that person is you.
Max: Dr. Reynolds, are you actually ready?

No one is ruining your life, Avi. I don't think anyone has that power.

Iggy

Max: Sorry, you know you're not my doctor anymore right.
Helen: Yes, but I'm still a friend.

Angelo: Marie didn't have any family. She'd want you to get this.
Leon: Why would you do that for me?
Angelo: We take care of our own.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Quotes

My sister Luna and I were born here in New Amsterdam, and eight years later, Luna died here. Hospital-acquired infection. Entirely preventable.

Max

Max: Unlike the previous medical director, I actually expect you to practice medicine at this hospital because I don't know, that's your job.
Helen: You're funny.
Max: You said that.
Helen: I'll tell you what, I'll continue giving speeches all over the world because you can't afford the type of publicity I give this hospital. And I'll continue my on-air appearances with Ellen, Oprah, and anyone else powerful enough to go by one name because someone has to remind New York that even though New Amsterdam is an underfunded public hospital, we can still go toe-to-toe with the privates from basic care to state of the art procedures. I will be back next week with lunch at the Tavern. My treat.
