Tuesdays 8:00 PM on FOXThe Resident Season 5 Episode 11: "Her Heart" Quotes
Conrad: We need to talk in your office.
Bell: Let's just talk here.
Conrad: It's Multiple Sclerosis.
Cade: It would suggest you and I could be friends, Feldman.
Irving: I'm impossible not to like, Sullivan. So you aren't on social media. I tried to find you to make sure you weren't a psychopath.
Cade: Well, I'm not an exhibitionist or a narcissist.
AJ: Hannah, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are in early heart failure.
Hannah: No, I prayed that I would never hear those words again. This heart can't fail. It can't.
Bell: I have Multiple Sclerosis.
Kit: Oh, darling I'm so sorry.
Jake: We're here for you.
Bell: Yeah, I know. I just learned this morning, so I'm just still processing. To be honest I'm reeling.
Billie: How are you holding up?
Conrad: Keeping perspective. The heart is a muscle.
Billie: Hey, this is me, Conrad. Inside this woman who walked into our ER is a part of someone we both love. That means something.
Conrad: After Nic died, I kept seeing things that made me feel she was still with me. A song we love would suddenly come on the radio. A woman in the park with her laugh. Finding a note she left for me in the drawer, that kind of thing. And eventually, it faded.
Billie: But now a small part of her, a real part of her is here, alive.
AJ: Not sure doesn't cut it when we're talking about my mother's life!
Devon: I'm sorry, but these criteria exist for a reason.
AJ: Who are you? I mean really, is this who you really are? A numbers dude who blocks a desperate woman's last hope?
Hannah: I trust you. I know you'll help me.
Conrad: I will.
Bell: Kit, I'm leaving Chastain.
Kit: A leave of absence. Of course, to heal.
Bell: No, permanently.
Kit: What?
Bell: I'll try the treatments. I'm grateful for the help, but I'll never operate againeven if I get markedly better.
Kit: Why not? You at 95% is still better for people at 100.
Bell: It's more complicated than that.
Kit: Really? Then please explain it to me.
Bell: You fell in love with the man that I wanted to be, and I became him because of you.
Kit: What are you saying?
Bell: I love you, and I will not saddle you with this.
Conrad: Carol is off the criteria by one percent?
Devon: Those are the rules. My hands are tied. Rules exist for a reason.
Conrad: I taught you to break the rules for the patient.
Devon: You taught me to also follow the science, and what you're saying now is to ignore it.
Conrad: If your father was still alive, and you had the chance to save him with this clinical trial, but he didn't fit the criteria by a small number, would you make the same call you did for Carol?
Devon: I spent all day trying to convince myself that it was okay to let her into this trial.But I know that if I do, she'll likely end up on dialysis, kidneys failed, fluid in her lungs will make her feel like she's drowning.
Conrad: But what if she makes it through?
Devon: I don't see that happening. Carol is brave. She wants to help the science, but if I bend the rules to let her in or sacrifice, it won't even do that. I am not going to torture an old, immunocompromised woman, she's already been through enough, I'm not going to do it.
Kit: You can run, but you can't hide. I will find you. Wherever you go, I will follow. We will go to the Mayo Clinic together, and wherever the road leads after that, but it will lead back here to Chastain because you will get better. You will operate again, and you will save lives as you have before.
Bell: You don't know that.
Kit: I do know that whatever complications may be ahead, we will face them together because you are the great love of my life, and I'm pretty sure I'm the great love of yours.
