Joel: Let me ask you something. What do women want?
Alex: I don't get the question.

Joel: I try and give her honesty and I'm coming off like a total jerk.
Alex: Well, were you a jerk?
Joel: No, absolutely not. Well, maybe I was a little bit of a jerk.

You're not a jerk, Joel, but if you really want to be honest, you can give a lot more than you're admitting. You're just a chicken.

Alex

Joel: It's time for me to try and be more generous with you.
Maggie: Is that code for you wanna be exclusive?
Joel: I think we should give it a shot.

There's a difference between pain and suffering. Pain is in the body. Suffering is in the mind and it feels infinite. So maybe the key is to feel your pain and learn from it. And someday your suffering might disappear.

Charlie

Alex: She's about to get married and she's too young for this. I can't just stand by and wait.
Shahir: Sometimes all we can do is wait.

Charlie: Kinda want to jump back into it, don't you? Just get back into your body and make yourself wake up.
Patient: No, actually, I don't. I'm in no rush.

Gavin: Do you ever think of the other person? Like, anyone who isn't you?
Joel: I'm not going to dignify that with an answer.

You are a doctor. Every word that comes out of your mouth they hang onto, they believe in. So you basically lied to them. Sandhya is not Charlie, and you have no idea what that family is going through. None.

Dr. Kinney

Charlie: Losing a patient, or harming a patient, is every surgeon's worst nightmare. But it happens. And you should know that your doctor feels guilty, awful.
Patient: Do you know her?
Charlie: I do. She's my fiancee.

Charlie: You know, I was married to the wrong woman once. And then one day I found myself engaged to the right one.
Patient: How did you know that she was the right one?
Charlie: Oh, because she got me, you know, warts and all. And every new thing I learned about her just made me love her more and more.

Patient: Maybe we can find a psychic.
Charlie: Uh, yeah, that's not gonna work.

Saving Hope Quotes

Joel: It's gonna be weird, isn't it? I mean you and me. You didn't invite me to the wedding so presumably you're still in love with me.
Alex: Right. I totally forgot. I like to remember the poems you wrote me, the breakfast in bed, the nurses you were banging.
Joel: Okay, we can stop right there.

This is how it happens. You leave it all behind. Everything you love. Everything you know. You belong to the hospital now. And all you can do is hope.

Charlie
