Dr. Daniel Charles : Come again?

Dr. Daniel Charles : No.
Robyn Charles : You said something.
Dr. Daniel Charles : I might have ind...
Robyn Charles : [cutting him off] Who I date is not your concern.
Dr. Daniel Charles : You're absolutely right. 100%.
Robyn Charles : You are unbelievable.
Dr. Daniel Charles : I'm sorry. I was wrong. If I worry about you, I can't help it.
Robyn Charles : Okay, well, that's gonna need to stop.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Can't do it. I'm your dad. I know I haven't won any awards in that department...
Robyn Charles : This is not a referendum on you.
Dr. Daniel Charles : I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm sorry I wasn't a father.
Robyn Charles : Okay, see? That. That right there. Why does it always go back to that? Does it ever occur to you that I have moved on?
Dr. Daniel Charles : I... I didn't.
Robyn Charles : Not only am I past it, but I really... I do not care. So you can feel as guilty as you want, but you being overinvolved in my life now is not gonna cut it.

Dr. Daniel Charles : Spoke to your patient, Mr. Wallace.
Dr. Ethan Choi : Let me guess, not a suicide risk.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Garden variety sociopath. He's an opportunist. Knows all the buzzwords. Not a sincere bone in his body.
Dr. Ethan Choi : Good enough for me.
[to an attending nurse]
Dr. Ethan Choi : Let's start discharge paperwork on Treatment 4.

Dr. Sarah Reese : [having learned Danny, the boy she was trying to rescue from sex traffickers, died] It's my fault.
Dr. Daniel Charles : No, that's not true.
Dr. Sarah Reese : Of course it is. I told him we could remove the chip. I encouraged him to run away.
Dr. Daniel Charles : You empowered him to make decisions. It's what good doctors do.
Dr. Sarah Reese : But they were the wrong decisions.
Dr. Daniel Charles : It was the wrong outcome.
Dr. Sarah Reese : And now he's dead. I mean, who knows? If... if I had told him to wait, maybe the police would have come and broken up the ring and he'd be free. I was careless with his life.
Dr. Daniel Charles : Dr. Reese, you're anything but careless. Sometimes the best advice, you know, it's just not enough. Dangerous thing about psychiatry, it can sometimes give those of us who practice it the illusion of control. But the human brain, it's... it is the most complex, mysterious object in the universe. That means that what we do, it... it just doesn't come with any guarantees.
Dr. Sarah Reese : I don't think that makes me feel any better.
Dr. Daniel Charles : I know. Never does.
