Quotes 

• Dr. Marcus Andrews : How could a guy who can't even shake a co-worker's hand be comfortable doing a pelvic exam?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : People squeeze too hard. It hurts.

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : [handing him a swab]  Send this to the lab for culture. So, I'm guessing you're not that into hugs.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I don't like to be squeezed.

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : Well, what if it's somebody you like? Or somebody you love? Have you ever had a girlfriend?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I almost kissed a girl. Once.

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : Well, you know what they say. If at first you don't succeed...

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Are you trying to mock me or encourage me?

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : I'm trying to get to know you so I know when I should mock and when I should encourage.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : When's the right time to mock you?

• Dr. Neil Melendez : 36 years old, 22 weeks pregnant. Ultrasound at sixteen weeks revealed a tumor on the fetus' tailbone.

  Dr. Jared Kalu : Mom's got antiphospholipid syndrome. Makes surgery high risk.

  Dr. Claire Browne : Also makes pregnancy high risk. She's had three miscarriages.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : [hurrying in]  We need to do an ultrasound and MRI to measure the tumor's growth rate.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Late bus doesn't explain why you're showing up tired after you just had twelve hours off.

  Dr. Claire Browne : We're all tired. Our last shift was thirty-six hours.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : I'm not interested in debating the shift schedule with you. But I am curious why you always feel the need to defend him.

  Dr. Claire Browne : Well, we're all on the same team.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Yes. But you're all quarterbacks. And when training camp is over, there's only gonna be one starter.

• Dr. Claire Browne : Olivia Hartman?

  Olivia Hartman : Yes, ma'am. I mean Doctor.

  Dr. Claire Browne : You're eighteen?

  Olivia Hartman : Yes, ma'am.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Where's the boil?

  Olivia Hartman : It's, um... it's down there.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Down where?

  Dr. Claire Browne : Shaun, it's, um... on her labia.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Hmm. Is it painful?

  Olivia Hartman : Like I used a bowling ball for a tampon.

• Dr. Claire Browne : There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : 25% of college students contract an STD before graduation.

  Olivia Hartman : I'm not embarrassed. And I know all about STDs. I get tested every thirty days.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : There's no necrosis on the vaginal wall or cervix.

  Dr. Claire Browne : You got it in already?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Yes. It's definitely not flesh-eating bacteria. I was wrong.

  Olivia Hartman : Thank God.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : You do need surgery to drain the Bartholin gland abscess.

  Dr. Claire Browne : Why do you get an STD test every thirty days?

  Olivia Hartman : I have to. For work. I do porn.

• Dr. Aaron Glassman : [Shaun woke his building super up in the middle of the night]  It's my fault. I should've known you would take what I said literally.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : It's okay.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Actually, you know what, Shaun? It's not my fault. It's your responsibility. You're smart. You should be able to use your common sense. When somebody says something, you should figure out what they really mean. And when things don't go exactly how you expected them, navigate that.

• Lea : I'm horrible at directions, too. Every time I exit a BART station, I walk, like, three blocks before I realize I'm going the wrong direction. You're lucky I actually made it to the gym. I like to go when it's not crowded, but it's so hard to motivate after work. Half the time I end up not...

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : You stink.

  Lea : [she laughs]  I know. I'm disgusting. But I can't shower there. I'm terrified of foot fungus. Hey, you know, as long as we're tossing out truth grenades, you suck at being a neighbor. First, you take back your batteries, and then you wake me up in the middle of the night stomping around and banging on pipes. What the hell's up with that?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : My sink drips. I couldn't sleep, so I tried to fix it. Then I couldn't find my screwdriver, which made me anxious.

  Lea : You kept me up because you were anxious about a screwdriver?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Yes. I was very anxious.

  Lea : You're funny. I stink. You're anxious. You always say exactly what's on your mind. It's the total opposite of most guys. It's nice.

• Dr. Shaun Murphy : This is a list of repairs I need for my apartment. Number 33.

  Armen Demajin : What the hell is your problem?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Sorry. Hello. My names is Shaun Murphy. It's very nice to meet you.

  Armen Demajin : No, it's not nice to meet me at 12:40 a.m.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Yes. Dr. Glassman said I can call you any time I need something fixed.

  Armen Demajin : Who the hell is Dr. Glassman?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : He's the president at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital. I'm a surgical resident there.

  Armen Demajin : Well, I don't care if you're St. Bonaventure himself. Unless it's a fire or flood, I only work 9:00 to 5:00.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Mm. I'll... try to come back tomorrow between those times.

  Armen Demajin : You already woke me up. Just give me the damn list.

• Dr. Shaun Murphy : You fixed my sink.

  Armen Demajin : Do you know how to tell time?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : You fixed my sink.

  Armen Demajin : You're welcome. Now go away.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : It was not on the list! The faucet. It was not on the list. You weren't supposed to touch it.

  Armen Demajin : So after I fix everything you woke me up for, then I go out of my way to fix something el...

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : It was not on the list because I'd already fixed it.

  Armen Demajin : Well, you fixed it wrong. Because it was still dripping.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I need it to drip. At the same rate as my sink in Casper. It was too slow before. Now I have to fix it all over again. It's not fair.

  Armen Demajin : I'm done. If you don't like your faucet or anything else in your apartment, move. If you knock on this door again after 5:00 p.m., I'm gonna knock your teeth out.

• Dr. Shaun Murphy : Nerves are like pipes!

  Dr. Claire Browne : Shaun, th... this...

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : We need to sever the pudenal nerve to excise the myoma, but if we reconnect the ends...

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : The tumor is four centimeters in diameter. That's way too wide of a gap to reconnect the ends, and nerves don't stretch.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : We don't need to stretch it. We can connect the distal end of the pudenal nerve to the branch of the femoral cutaneous nerve from her inner thigh.

  [to Olivia, as he hands Marcus his research] 

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Would you rather loose feeling in your thigh or genitals?

  Olivia Hartman : Thigh, definitely. Is he right? Can we do that?

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : It probably would've been better to discuss this prior to meeting with the patient, but yes, I think it could work.

• Dr. Neil Melendez : Never contradict me in front of a patient again.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I didn't. I agree with your assessment of the risks. I suggested a way to mitigate them.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Not in front of the patient.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : We're not in front of the patient now.

  Dr. Claire Browne : I was just reading about a new technique for transeophageal echocardiography monitoring. If there's a cardiac issue, it would give us an early warning.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Let's get her prepped. ASAP.

• Dr. Jared Kalu : The crown-rump length of the fetus is 21.5 centimeters. And the diameter of the tumor is... 10.6 centimeters. Half the size of the fetus.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : The tumor's grown. It's not cancer, but it is monopolizing the blood supply, which is weakening the fetus' heart. I'm sorry, but there's no chance it would survive long enough to be viable. The safest course is to terminate the pregnancy.

  Barb Allen : If we were interested in the safest course, we wouldn't be on our third second opinion. Please, Dr. Melendez, we want whatever will save our baby.

  Mark Allen : Dr. Wright told us you've done fetal surgery to remove this type of tumor before.

  Barb Allen : And without the tumor, our baby would be healthy.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Your antiphospholipid syndrome makes a long surgery extremely dangerous. There's a high chance for blood clots, which could have fatal consequences for you.

  Barb Allen : We're willing to take that risk.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Saving the fetus doesn't do any good if the mother dies in the process.

  Barb Allen : I've had three miscarriages. If I have to go through that again, I might as well be dead.

  Mark Allen : Barb.

  Barb Allen : It's true.

  Mark Allen : No, it's not. You're the strongest woman I've ever met. We'll get through this. We will. And... and then we'll try again.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : We could manage clotting risk pre-operatively with an infusion of unfractionated heparin.
