Shaun: Get Asher.
Nurse: Get Asher?
Shaun: Oh. He's dead.

Glassman: You remember the last time I was in the OR?
Shaun: This is a multi-step procedure.
Glassman: Yeah, I might kill the patient.
Shaun: The patient is already dying.

Shaun: Stop interrupting me.
Charlie: You were interrupting me.
Shaun: I am the attending. I have tried complimenting you but that didn't work and I have tried ignoring you but that didn't work either. However, I still have to teach you. Therefore you will go back to observing only. You will not bother me. You will not speak at all.

Shaun: I missed Steve too. And it's very difficult because when I'm away from you, I miss you, but when I'm away from him I miss him.
Lea: I know it's difficult. But more people to miss means more people to love.

I k now that ASD is considered a disability, but I also know you are capable of being silent. If you want to remain on this case, that is what I expect you to do.

Lea: You're getting old, Pops
Shaun: 31 is not old.
Lea: It is in parent years.

My son Steve is three weeks old. I have been thinking about the things he might do when he gets older that I might not approve of. But I can't imagine not wanting him in my life unless he was cruel or unkind to others.

Shaun: You should have met Steve the day he was born.
Glassman: Yes, I should have. I was mad because you humiliated me and made it so I can't do surgery. Did you forget that?
Shaun: That is not an apology.

Shaun: There are alarms for his feedings and naps.
Lea: In case I miss the schedules that are posted on the fridge? Shaun, Steve and I will be fine. Don't worry about us. Just enjoy your first day back.

Shaun: The maggots worked. Baby Jack is cleared for surgery and the donor heart is on its way.
Lim: Eden's heart has two defective valves. We have one donor heart and two babies that need it.

I would use these maggots on Steve in this situation. That is unlikely to happen, but I hope the parallel puts you at ease.

The Good Doctor Quotes

Aren’t we judged by how we treat people? I don’t mean as doctors. I mean as people. Especially those who don’t have the same advantages that we have. We hire Shaun and we give hope to those people with limitations that those limitations are not what they think they are. That they do have a shot! We hire Shaun and we make this hospital better for it. We hire Shaun and we are better people for it.

Dr. Aaron Glassman

I saw a lot of surgeons in medical school. You’re much better than them. I have a lot to learn from you. You’re very arrogant. Do you think that helps you be a good surgeon? Does it hurt you as a person? Is it worth it?
