Quotes Of The Week: New Amsterdam, Loki, The Bold Type, Manifest And More
If you watched Tuesday's New Amsterdam season finale, then you've already gotten a sneak peek at our latest Quotes of the Week roundup: How could we not include Max's crazy-romantic voicemail to Helen, right?
The NBC medical drama is one of a dozen TV series to be honored in this week's compilation of sound bites. Elsewhere in our collection, you'll find John Oliver's high level of self-awareness on Last Week Tonight, Veronica's zinger-filled visit to jailbird Katheryn on The Haves and the Have Nots, The Bold Type's promise that we'll never look at cucumbers the same way again, and yet more evidence that Black Monday's Blair has absolutely no conscience. (As if we needed more!)
Plus, we've got double doses of several shows, including Loki (read series premiere recap), Sweet Tooth and Hacks.
Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!
NEW AMSTERDAM
"I miss you. I can't get you out of my head. It's very distracting. We said things to each other that were just the beginning, and we never quite... Anyway, now you're gone, and it just feels like it's been forever. And I need to see you. I need to talk to you. I need to be with you in all the ways that I've been dreaming of."
Max (Ryan Eggold) leaves Helen quite the voicemail message!

The show's narrator (James Brolin) hits us with some tender wisdom in the finale's final moments
THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS

"Honey, I know you don't have any mirrors in here, but you can't talk about the way people look — trust me."
Veronica (Angela Robinson) isn't about to take beauty tips from jailbird Katheryn (Reneé Lawless)
TO TELL THE TRUTH

LUCIFER (Episode 13)
"You know what? I am not even going to ask this time. Because you two are the couple that cried relationship."
Ella (Aimee Garcia) sees Lucifer and Chloe arrive at a crime scene all lovey-dovey and arm-in-arm
MANIFEST
"Wowww — you're putting in more hours now than when you worked here."
Jared (J.R. Ramirez) sees the recently resigned Michaela arrive at the precinct for yet another favor
HACKS (Episode 9)
"Everyone in LA has such good style! I can't tell who's HAIM and who's just three people."
"HAIM is actually on tour right now, so..."
"I love that you know that."
The denizens of Los Angeles continue to surprise Ava (Hannah Einbinder), who's more than happy to be back in her own city
HACKS (Episode 10)
"Your ego doesn't allow you to take in information like a normal human being. No one's allowed to communicate honestly with you, and if they do, you either shut them out or push them away, or I don't know, hit them with your car."
"Almost hit them with my car."
"Not a great defense!"
Even when Ava (Einbinder) and Deborah (Jean Smart) go head-to-head, they still manage to be funny — albeit unintentionally this time
THE BOLD TYPE

"No."

LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER
"It's true. Under a system of white supremacy, we do tend to wear our race on our face. My face, for example, is currently wearing down-market vintage colonial casual. I'd change into something a little less imperial if I could. But I can't. So instead, I wear these glasses."
LOVE, VICTOR (Episode 1)
"OK, I'm scared. I don't want my face to burn off. My mom says I have the jawline of a young Hilary Swank."

"What? To my knowledge? Do a lot of people not know if they're robots?"
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is asked some existentially befuddling questions upon arriving at the Time Variance Authority
LOKI (Bonus Quote!)
"You see, I only came into possession of the Tesseract because [the Avengers] traveled through time, no doubt in a last-ditch effort to stave off my ascent to god king."

The Avengers' resident genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist might want to be more subtle the next time he bends the time-space continuum
BLACK MONDAY
"What do I have to feel guilty about?"
"Maybe, just checking my notes here, double-crossing your wife on your wedding day, dropping your business rival off a building, blackmailing your lover into hanging himself and then poisoning his life's legacy on national TV?"
"Eh."
Therapy probably isn't going to work for a guy like Blair (Andrew Rannells)
