Quotes 

• Ethan Choi : Walk me through it again from the beginning.

  Noah Sexton : I told you. I set down the syringe, went to grab the suture, and when I turned, he had...

  Ethan Choi : Set it down within arm's reach of a suicidal patient, a patient with the medical knowledge to know how to use it.

  Noah Sexton : It was a mistake. You gotta write me up.

  Ethan Choi : I know you. I taught you, Noah. You don't make mistakes. You sympathized with Dr. Coleman, didn't think we should call the police. You did this on purpose, man. What were you thinking?

  Noah Sexton : Dr. Coleman had the right to die on his own terms, man. Come on, Ethan. You really think he deserved to rot in prison?

  Ethan Choi : It doesn't matter what I think.

  Noah Sexton : The minute you called the police, you buried him.

  Ethan Choi : You think it was easy for me to make that call?

  Noah Sexton : It sure seemed like it.

  Ethan Choi : Just stop, man. This isn't about me or Dr. Coleman anymore. Don't you get that? Now when the police walk through that door... I'm gonna have to tell 'em what you did.

• Noah Sexton : I'm really sorry about the police. If it had been up to me...

  James Coleman : It is what it is. It's part of the job. I know that.

  Noah Sexton : Also, I, um... I wanted to say thank you. You're actually a big part of the reason I became a doctor. Your clinic had this, like, traveling tent you'd pitch in parks around the South Side.

  James Coleman : Every Saturday morning.

  Noah Sexton : One of those mornings, my dad and I were kicking around the soccer ball. And you managed to coax him inside. He hadn't been to the doctor in years. His blood pressure was sky-high. You made him promise to follow up with his GP. They found a pheochromocytoma in his adrenal gland. If you hadn't have gotten that cuff on him...

  James Coleman : You give me far too much credit.

  Noah Sexton : No. Your clinic? It saved a lot of lives.

  James Coleman : All praises go to my Phyllis. Phyllis gave up everything so that she could help build it with me. I only wish I could've held up my end of the bargain.

  Noah Sexton : What do you mean? What you did for her, it took courage...

  James Coleman : [shakes his head]  I was a coward! I couldn't let her go even when I knew it was time. I guess this is my punishment-- my living without her.

• April Sexton : Noah, stop it. Okay? We will figure something out. I'm gonna help you fight this. This...

  Noah Sexton : No, you're not. Because I'm not gonna fight it.

  April Sexton : Noah.

  Noah Sexton : I stand by what I did today, April. And if I have to go up against Ethan, I'll end up having to lie. I don't wanna do that.

  April Sexton : You have worked so hard to get here.

  Noah Sexton : Hey, hey. Maybe a change of scenery might be good for me. And you. Ever since we were kids, you've always had my back, April. As long as I'm here, you're always gonna feel responsible for me.

  April Sexton : So what now?

  Noah Sexton : Remember Dr. Kantwell, my med school advisor? She always said she could get me into a residency program at her hospital.

  April Sexton : Isn't she in Atlanta? You're just gonna up and leave?

  Noah Sexton : I'll be back. Maybe when I finish, maybe I'll go work for Coleman's clinic. Try to pick up where he left off.

  April Sexton : Okay. I'm gonna miss you.

  Noah Sexton : I already miss you.
