Woman: Mom, I don't have to get your permission to deal with my son.
Grandmother: Actually, you do. I'm his legal guardian.

You going to work or to the club?

Joanie: Did you do anything wrong at the scene of the accident?
Lawyer: Objection. Leading.
Shaun: Yes, I did.
Lawyer: Okay, withdrawn.

Janet: You don't follow directions very well, do you?
Joanie: I'm not wanted many places. I make a lot of people uncomfortable. If I let that stop me, I wouldn't be anywhere.
Janet: At my first job, I was the only female associate. Tomorrow, you're first chair. Actual first chair.

Janet: Joanie's deficits are more severe than you think. She cannot do this job.
Shaun: Everyone said that about me.

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

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

Most people's brains prioritize details and weed out ones that are unimportant. Mine doesn't.

Joanie

Lea: OCD? You mean she's neat and organized?
Shaun: No. That is not OCD.

Shaun: I have a new lawyer.
Joanie: I have a new client.

Glassman: She's good. She's smart. She's been helpful whenever I need it.
Shaun: How many times have you been sued?

The Good Doctor Quotes

Aren’t we judged by how we treat people? I don’t mean as doctors. I mean as people. Especially those who don’t have the same advantages that we have. We hire Shaun and we give hope to those people with limitations that those limitations are not what they think they are. That they do have a shot! We hire Shaun and we make this hospital better for it. We hire Shaun and we are better people for it.

Dr. Aaron Glassman

I saw a lot of surgeons in medical school. You’re much better than them. I have a lot to learn from you. You’re very arrogant. Do you think that helps you be a good surgeon? Does it hurt you as a person? Is it worth it?
