New Amsterdam
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNew Amsterdam Season 5 Episode 12: "Right Place" Quotes
Max: Five years ago, I was dying. My cancer treatment wasn't working. I couldn't swallow my own saliva; I couldn't stand without support. I didn't even know if I would see my own daughter be born, but then this place, New Amsterdam, saved me.

Max: Different? How? Medical bias didn't start three years ago.
Wilder: You don't see it?
Max: See what?
Wilder: She did it to save your life.
Max: You think she did all this for me?
Wilder: When you love someone, you will do anything to protect them. Even this.
Max: Would you?
Wilder: Do this for you? It's unethical. Would you? For me?
Max: It's unethical.
Wilder: Then why do we feel bad?
Iggy: She's going to die in the streets.
Lou: Probably. Land of the free, Iggy. Land of the free.
Martin: What if we try this and it doesn't work? I don't know if I can handle that. I know the kids can't handle it. We can't keep playing make-believe.
Iggy: Yeah, I know. I'm scared, too. But if we both want a fresh start, like really want a fresh start, I don't know how else I can do it. You?
