Lauren: How many, how many were let go?
Max: One-hundred forty-eight.
Lauren: Oh my God.
Max: Today, I protected you from Veronica, but I can't protect you tomorrow.

Veronica: I know how difficult it was for you to sign that budget.
Max: No, you don't.
Veronica: These people are not your friends, Max. They're your employees. And today, sacrifices were made. Believe it or not, you did what was best for the hospital.

Casey: Please, don't lie to me.
Lauren: I'm not.

Clyde: You're right, you know?
Floyd: About what?
Clyde: Fuentes. She doesn't know who she's messing with.

Max: I keep telling myself that we're not abandoning our friends, that we're not turning our backs on the hospital, but... I don' know what to do.

Max: It's going to be okay.

Floyd: Who says we have to play her game?
Clyde: What are you up to, Floyd?
Floyd: I don't know. But if you ask me, she doesn't know what she's messing with.
