New Amsterdam
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNew Amsterdam Season 5 Episode 13: "How Can I Help?" Quotes
Doctor: What's your name, son?
Young Max: Maximus Leonard Goodwin.
Doctor: That's a nice name. Think I can call you Max? How can I help?
And from that moment, because of those words, I knew I was going to be a doctor, and, um, I share this with you now, not just so you can imagine me as an adorable little five-year-old, but because I want you to remember when that moment was for you. When you knew this was your calling because this job can wear you down even on the best days, it takes a toll on your heart. If you find yourself in a tough moment feeling like all is lost, feeling what you do doesn't matter, I want you to remember why you became a doctor in the first plate and let that moment be your north star. I never imagined I would be saying goodbye to this hospital to this incredible group of people, but I think I did what I came here to do, which is to make New Amsterdam a place of hope for those who need it most and now the time has come for new challenges.

I hate New Amsterdam!

Young Iggy: Why are you telling me this?
Iggy's Brother: I don't know, freak, I'm just making conversation.
Young Iggy: No, it's not. You, mom, dad, everybody always talks at me. It's always weird, private grownup stuff that they never share with anyone else, but why does everyone think they can just dump their crap on me? They act like I'm invisible.
Iggy's Brother: Listen, you're the opposite of invisible, Iggy. You're like a rock, or a mountain, or something. You don't judge. You just listen. And I don't know why, but you being here listening, it just kind of makes things better.
Max: I'm going to miss this place.
Wilder: It won't be e the same without you. Today is proof that you made the right decision, don't you think?
Max: Every year, Luna looks forward to that mermaid parade, and every year, I keep letting her down. This time in her life is so brief and so special, and I've missed so much of it being here. It's time to make her the center of my life, even if it means leaving behind things that I love
Wilder: You'll be back. You can't leave this place for good. You can't.
Max: If I come back, it won't be for this hospital.
Wilder: And what makes you think I'll be here waiting for you?
If New Amsterdam has taught me anything, it's H-O-P-E. There's no one I'd rather leave this hospital to than you.
Max [to Wilder]
