New Amsterdam
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNew Amsterdam Quotes
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
Max: You know for months after she left, for months, I wouid've done anything to see her again, anything. Just to ask her why. I used to dream of this moment.
Lauren: you're doing the right thing, Max. You going to see Helen would be like me going to see a 100mg of Adderall. Whatever she has to say, it's not going to help. Just keep looking forward, not behind.
Max: What if I don't know what I want?
Tennessee: Step back and find out.
Floyd: Did you think we'd still be boyfriends at this age?
Max: No, I did not.
Sometimes to move forward you have to leave something behind. Our marriage is over. I'm okay with that now.
Iggy
You told me to make a choice.
Max
Wilder: Becoming a surgeon is all I ever wanted. If I leave it behind, who am I? I'm not a teacher.
Max: You were wrong earlier. I'm not learning ASL for you. I'm learning because of you. And when our hospital interacts with you, we realize what we thought were your limits were actually our own. And you don't think you're a teacher?
Wilder: I thought you would try to change my mind.
Max: I see you.
Vanessa: Being nice to me now is not going to change the fact that mom died hating you.
Lauren: That's not true.
Vanessa: Yes, it is actually, thanks to me. She wrote you a letter a few years ago, an apology, you know, for being such a terrible mother. I threw it away.
Lauren: Why would you do that? Answer me! Why would you do that?
Vanessa: Because you didn't deserve that, Lauren!
Martin: I can't just blindly hope that our problems have just magically solved themselves.
Iggy: I'm not waiting for them to magically solve themselves. I'm working on changing; I have changed. You've seen it. And I'm not just talking about the physical, the outside. I'm talking about inside, I feel different. I'm different.
Martin: Iggy, so am I.
Iggy: Martin, I love you. I'm in love with you.
Martin: I love you so much. But we're not those people anymore. It's time to finalize the divorce.
Wilder: I'm staying.
Max: What changed--
Wilder: Shut up and take me home.
Belonging isn't about what you do. It's about who you are. And if you belonged here you would know that .
Bev
Wilder: I'm not a teacher. I'm a surgeon.
Bev: No, you're a deaf surgeon. The first one.
Wilder: Sounds like a good reason for me not to quit.
Bev: That is the reason. You are living proof that nothing is out of reach for our community. When I say that to young doctors, it's a line. But when you say it, it's the truth.
Wilder: There are many deaf doctors who have achieved what I have, including you.
Bev: Lizzie, when I die, there'll be a funeral and a blurb in the Times, but when you die, they're gonna put up a statue. Please stop acting like you're not a hero. Come home.
Wilder: No.
