Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNew Amsterdam Quotes
Karen: Rings do hold a certain amount of symbolic power over us, don't they?
Max: Yeah.
Karen: I should know. I had three. Max, I get it. It feels like losing a limb, and if it can be lost, what does that say?
Max: It says you didn't deserve it.
Martin, you give me everything that I need. Our family gives me everything. We can go home whenever you need to. No more running, I promise. But I'm not going to see patients anymore. I'm done with that life.
Iggy
You know when Samira went missing, I just had these visions of Chance hurting her.
Iggy
Mina: Thank you for taking me home. You never gave up on me. Thank you for everything.
Helen: You don't need to thank me. We're family.
Floyd: I guess I just assumed you took it off on purpose.
Max: No. I don't know. It still means something, I guess. I mean it's everything we had, you know? I, God, it can't be gone.
Floyd: You know, I felt exactly the same way about Evie's ring, after we, you know.
Max: So what changed?
Floyd: Well, I realized I wasn't hanging on to Evie's ring because she still had a big piece of my heart. I was hanging on to it because she didn't. And the ring wasn't about our love anymore. I was about my guilt.
Hi, um, I very much enjoyed your message. My flight's not until tomorrow, but um, I've been doing some fantasizing of my own.
Helen voicemail
Hey, it's, uh, me. I miss you. I can't keep you out of my head. It's very distracting. Um, we said things to each other that were just the beginning, and uh, we never quite, um, anyway. Now you're going, and it feels like its been forever, and I really need, I need to see you. I need to talk to you. I need to be with you in all the ways that I've been dreaming of.
Max
Todd: I fully support the vaccine effort. I think Operation Warp Speed has been a tremendous success.
Max: Thank God, I though you were gonna say--
Todd: Personally, I didn't get it.
Max: No, Todd. Why?
Todd: I've chosen to wait.
Max: 'Til when everyone you know is dead or dying?
Todd: May I speak freely?
Max: Of course.
Todd: Without your Liberal condescension?
Max: ... Maybe.
Chance: My whole family knew what he was doing. But they still let it happen. So, I shouldn't feel guilty for what I did, but...
Iggy: I get it.
Chance: No, no you can't.
Iggy: I do.
Chance: How? How can you know what this feels like?
Iggy: Because I killed someone too.
Niku: I would rather die than be sent to some home like my son wants. I'm nothing but a burden to him.
Lauren: Is it possible that he feels that way because he never really knew who you were?
Niku: It was my job to keep secrets
Lauren: I understand, but is it still?
Todd: I have no underlying health issues. I've been fortunate to primarily work from home. So, I've decided to wait until the end of the line.
Max: This is the end of the line. Millions of people have already been safely vaccinate. To keep waiting now would just be insane, it would be crazy, it -- I'm sorry, I tried.
Todd: Whatever happened to my body, my choice?
Max: Well, it's not just your body. Not getting the vaccine could hurt someone else. Me, my daughter.
Todd: Fair point.
Max: Really?
Todd: Sure. I'm pretty open-minded. Unlike some people I know.
Max: Fair point.
Todd: Look, all I'm saying is a lot of the Conservatives that I work with still have questions.
Max: Conservatives are here in this hospital?
Todd: I hate to burst your bubble.
Helen: Max, you want some advice?
Max: I'll take it.
Helen: You fight for her, Max. You fight for her.
Max: I feel like all I do is fight. This morning, I had 1000 vaccines and a line of people ready to take them, and that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to aim higher, do better, so because I was stupid, nobody got 'em. Because I had to fight. That wasn't really a punchline.
Helen: When have you ever not wanted all of us to aim higher? To fight? It's all a fight. Luna. Mina. Vaccines. This hospital. Us. If you don't want to fight for it, it's because it's not worth it.
