Max: If Brantley doesn't reinstate you immediately, then she can demote me too.
Helen: Max, I don't need you to fix this. I don't need you to threaten people. I just need some time to think.
Max: What is there to think about?
Helen: What am I still doing here?

Max: OK, listen to me, by the end of the week, you're going to have everything back, okay? Your department. Deputy medical director. In the meantime, there's your patients, the committees. We still need you here, okay? I-I need you here.
Helen: And what about what I need? Because I don't think I can find it at New Amsterdam.
Max: So what are you ... you're going to leave?
Helen: I'm looking for a reason to stay. And right now, I can't find one.

Iggy: I was gathering information so we could discuss it.
Martin: But we never did discuss it. What were you just hoping I wouldn't notice another kid at the breakfast table? 

Zach: Well, this isn't awkward at all.
Lauren: If you drop me ...
Zach: Then you'll probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

Martin: He looked so happy. He always does when he's helping and volunteering, and that is so beautiful. But I wonder, do I ever make my husband look like that? Am I even capable?
Iggy: Martin, of course you are. Helping people is just a fundamental part of me. 

How often do your methods to mend hearts end up where Martin has to break them? 

Tabitha

Martin has asked you to change your behavior, and you love him, right? So maybe it's not that you won't stop; it's that you can't. Why can't you stop, Dr. Frome?

Tabitha

I can't feel the baby, Vijay!

Ella

Max: Helen, please don't do this  
Helen: Do you trust me? It's all about trust if we don't have that, then I truly don't belong here.

Tabitha: How do you feel when you help someone?
Iggy: Like I'm here for a reason.
Tabitha: How do you feel if you don't?

Tabitha: Dr. Frome, what do you think would happen if you stopped helping people?
Iggy: They see ...
Tabitha: Iggy, what would they see?
Iggy: They'd see what a complete loser I am. Just corny, nerdy, fat, worthless nothing.
Martin: Baby --
Iggy: No, Martin. I know it's not healthy. I have this voice in my head, and it's a very loud one, and it's saying that one of these days, you're going to realize that you can do so much better than me. My ability to help people, that's all I have. That's the only thing I like about myself. Without that, I just can't think of a reason why you would keep me around. I can't.

Tabitha: Martin, will you tell your husband three things you think are good about him?
Martin: You're kind. You are a wonderful father. And you are beautiful. You're hilarious. You're patient. You're smart. You make friends everywhere you go. Because they see what I see. You shine. You're amazing. You're the love of my life, and my life is so much better than I ever thought it was going to be because of you, Iggy.
