If it hurts, it means I'm alive. I'm grateful for that.
Patient
Sometimes big decisions come from a bunch of little decisions you weren't even aware you were making.
Lim
Jared: It's only Stage 1, and given your general health, hormone therapy should be sufficient post-surgery. You.probably won't need chemo.
Claire [to Shaun]: Do you disagree? Cause if you do, be honest with me. I'd rather get bad news now and get it over with.
You were raised in a trailer park by a bipolar mother and you got a full scholarship to med school, then you went to a country where you didn't even speak the language and two years later you're Chief of Surgery. Cancer? Pfft. You're an unstoppable force, Claire Brown, and on top of that you are overwhelmingly beautiful.
Jared
Hannah: Who are you?
Shaun: I am Dr. Shaun Murphy. Dr. Glassman's son. Not biologically. But he did for me what he is trying to do for you.
Hannah: So we're both broken toys that he tries to fix because he couldn't fix his daughter.
Shaun: He did not fix me. He loved me. I am different from other people. Other kids thought I was weird. My parents didn't want me, so I thought it too. But Dr. Glassman loved me. I will always have autism, but now I am proud of it. You will always be an addict even if you stop using drugs. But Dr. Glassman can see you are so much more than that. Why can't you?
Jared: You're into car restoration?
Charlie: No, but my dad was. He'd put on this show whenever I got anxious and it calmed me down.
Shaun: My dad was not supportive.
Charlie: Mine was my biggest advocate.
Charlie: Are you sad, Tayo?
Tayo: Uh huh.
Charlie: Dr. Muprhy and I have a condition that makes it hard for us to understand what other people are feeling. Can you tell us why you're sad?
Tayo: My parents fight a lot about my arm.
Charlie: When parents fight, it's never the child's fault.
Jordan: Do you still need me to babysit Eden tomorrow morning so you and Morgan can get married?
Park: No, because we're not getting married tomorrow.
Jordan: I'm not an expert on marriage, but I'd think agreeing on a date is a prerequisite.
Shaun: Do you think I should have Steve tested for ASD?
Charlie: Getting him tested this early means there is a greater chance of misdiagnosis, and then you will be disappointed when he is just typical.
Shaun: I think we should consult a pediatric neurologist.
Lea: No. No matter what the pediatric neurologist says you're still going to be looking for what's wrong with him.
Shaun: Not wrong. Different.
I used to believe that. Whenever patients in the hospital died, I'd tell myself that it was part of God's plan. But that was a lie. My friend was murdered standing up for one of Your children! You let him bleed out on the sidewalk, alone, not knowing that he was loved.
Jordan
Park: You're a genius.
Shaun: Savant.
