Helen: The Nutella didn't spread.
Max: I should stop calling it Nutella. It's not Nutella, it's cancer. I should start being honest at least with myself.
Helen: I want to have a baby.
Max: OK.
Helen: But I'm single and on the wrong side of 35. I have to do injections and deal with epic mood swings if I even want to give myself a chance. I don't know why I would want to bring a child-- a brown child, into this world. There are a thousand reasons not to, but the only way to beat death is life.
Max: There's a word for it.
Helen: Surrogacy?
Max: Hope.

Max: Yesterday morning at 7:30 A.M, a bullet ripped through New Amsterdam. The bullet tore doctors apart. The bullet tore families apart. It tore communities apart. It tore Jalen Pagan's body apart, and although the hardworking doctors of New Amsterdam couldn't save Jalen's life, they all did their job. But the bullet did its job better.

You gottta see the truth to write the truth.

Max

Iggy: When is the last time you had a good night's sleep?
Rhonda: Never. I just thought that was life.
Iggy: It doesn't have to be. I can help you. And then you can help Malik.

If I had known punching you in the face is all it took to make you available, I would have done it myself.

Helen

Hey, you think I'm scared? Huh? You gonna shoot me too? You gonna shoot me too?

Javier

Max: Helen, you know my biggest, hairiest secret, so if you need to talk to me.
Helen: You are the one with the Nutella, not me.

Max: You seem very focused on Malik.
Iggy: Of course I am.
Max: Malik isn't the only patient.

Iggy: I'm genuinely just trying to help.
Rhonda: You really want to help? Then stop the police from shooting black boys trying to get to school on time. And get every bullet out of this city so my nephew can have a chance to see his 21st birthday. Can you do that Mr. Trauma Support Man?

You pushed that needle way too deep into his heart because you are not a cardiac surgeon. You better hope I can fix this!

Floyd

Luis: Hey, is your voice OK?
Max: Karaoke. One of these I'm going to have to accept that Total Eclipse of the Heart is not within my range.
