People don't always want to know what they think they want to know.

Floyd

Strong and Black like your woman.

Helen

Max: What was that about with Helen? Did she know him?
Floyd: Yeah, they dated. For a couple of years, when I first got here.

If it's not impossible, then it's worth the risk.

Helen

Veronica: If that's how you really feel then maybe you shouldn't leave.
Max: You know what? If it means leaving this hospital in your hands then maybe I won't.

Iggy: I hate that I did that to you.
Helen: And I hated you for doing it. It was violating. But you were right. I'm about to cross an ocean to be close to my mom, and I have no idea who she is anymore. I've always thought of my dad as a coward, but he was holding me. He was holding me like he wanted me, and he tried to reach out so many times, I never answered, and I was okay with it, but what if I was wrong. The fact that he died knowing I hated him.

Thirty years, no one's ever believed me.

Jeannie

Helen: Now look me in the eye and tell me my memory isn't credible.
Iggy: In a court of law, it's not.
Helen: It's a good thing you aren't seeing patients anymore because I would tell any woman who walked through your doors to run.

She doesn't need a doctor, she needs a shovel so she can finish the job.

Lauren

Usually the white-washing isn't quite that literal.

Iggy

You have to get over your own discomfort for the sake of your child.

Floyd

Max: She's going to sell this place for parts.
Helen: You know what, we still have five weeks.
Max: You want to get into some trouble?
Helen: How much trouble?

New Amsterdam Quotes
