New Amsterdam
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNew Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 10: "Death Is The Rule. Life Is The Exception" Quotes
Max: I'm just trying to do something nice for the people that I love the most in the place that I love the most one last time!
Floyd: Max, I'm gonna level with you. The gift is beyond beautiful.
Max: So-
Floyd: It's just that the only gift that people want is for you to stay.
Leyla: How much did you spend?
Lauren: That's the best part. Zero dollars. It was a gift from Max.
Leyla: No, how much did you spend to buy my residency?
Lauren: Where did you hear that?
Leyla: Answer the question. How big was your bribe?
Lauren: I didn't bribe. I didn't bribe anyone. I didn't. All I did was try to make a donation.
Leyla: A donation that happened to get your girlfriend a non-existent residency at New Amsterdam?
Leyla: How much?
Lauren: Ninety-thousand dollars. Leyla, I did this for you! For us.
Helen: What happened?
Max: We just had nine Code Blues at the same time.
Helen: How is that possible?
Lauren: So you're telling me the strongest anti-bacterial the CDC has won't even work?
Simon: Doesn't even make a dent.
Max: There sick because of us.
Lauren: Don't. This is a hospital. Some people get better, some get worse.
Max: Yeah, but ideally, we aren't the ones making it worse. My sister died here from an infection just like this.
Lauren: I remember you telling us this on your first day.
Max: All the doctors said listen, I'm sorry there's not much we can do. I felt helpless. How can I leave this hospital when it's happening all over again.
Lauren: Then don't.
Can you two look at each other? Right now you are both in shock. You're both in unimaginable pain. You are angry. You are lost. But that doesn't mean that this is the end. It doesn't have to mean that. An event this traumatic can actually bring you closer together because you are the only one who truly knows what the other one is experiencing. You are the only one who knows what the other one is going through. And what comes next is going to be a challenge, absolutely. Things are not going to go back to what they were. They will never be the same, but don't you dare turn on one another. Instead, turn to each other, lean on each other. You embrace your grief together and above all us, you talk, you really talk to each other. Because that is how you survive this.
Iggy
Floyd: Thank you for sticking around.
Max: Of course.
Floyd: When are you going to break it to Helen?
Max: What?
Floyd: You're not going anywhere.
I thought about what you said earlier, and I'm glad that you're up for complicated because I'm pregnant.
Lyn
Leyla: You lied to me! I asked you if this residency was on the level, and you said yes. You said it was all me.
Lauren: It was all you, okay? You earned it! I just made sure everyone knew it, and if I hadn't, you'd be halfway across the country. You'd be gone. It'd be over. Leyla, I would write a million-dollar check to keep us together.
Leyla: So you got a deal.
Lauen: That's not what I meant.
Leyla: It's the only honest thing you said.
Lauren: What?
Leyla: You bought me clothes, food, and I went along with it and that's on me. But the one thing that I thought I had earned was paid for like everything else. You didn't do this for us. You did this for yourself.
Lauren: I love you.
Leyla: No, you don't. You tried to own me. You bought me. That's not love.
Lela
Iggy: I guess the biggest question I have off the bat is you come from private institutions, do you foresee any problems working in a public hospital system like New Amsterdam?
Trevor: The only problem I see is getting any work done while staring into those amazing blue eyes of yours.
Lyn, you should know that I'm in for complicated, and being with you has shown me that I may even like complicated.
Floyd
