You are a good researcher. But you need to accept that you will never be a good lawyer.

Janet

Joanie: Why do you believe in me more than in the test? I'm a lawyer with OCD. I work out of a closet. I was late to the only meeting you've had. So why do you have so much confidence in me?
Shaun: The test doesn't care. You do.

If the test goes the way you want, you'll definitely win. If it goes the other way, you'll definitely lose. So the question is whether you believe in this test more than you believe in me?

Joanie

The Good Doctor Quotes

Asher: We'd have to remove her uterus and they're starting a family.
Shaun: She won't be able to have a baby if she's dead.

Olivia: I never wanted to be a doctor. But every time I tried to say so my parents and professors and you pushed me and encouraged me til I backed down. So I knew if I got fired, there was no way you could pep-talk me back into a career I don't want.
Andrews: Livvie...
Olivia: I don't want to be important or successful. I just want to be myself. But I don't even know who that is. So the only way I can find out is if I burn my bridges behind me.
