Sydney Morton: Alex Bates

Quotes 

• Alex Bates : I'm sorry, I-I don't know what's going on here, but I already told Saanvi I can't see her anymore. It's too hard.

  Zeke Landon : I-I know. I'm sorry. Saanvi wanted to respect your wishes, but this is... she really needs your help.

  Alex Bates : She doesn't, though. She just needs someone to ask the right questions. Her research is...

  Zeke Landon : This isn't about her research. Saanvi's in trouble medically. She was working on a treatment and-and testing it on herself. She didn't want me to say anything, but...

  Alex Bates : The blackouts. Last week, she told me she was forgetting things. I-I thought it might be stress-related, told her to see someone. But she didn't, though, did she?

  Zeke Landon : You're the only doctor she trusts. Please. I'm afraid for her life.

• Zeke Landon : What are you giving her?

  Alex Bates : A dopamine antagonist that's helpful in psych cases. It should stabilize her and hopefully slow down whatever's got her running on overdrive.

  [as the drug takes effect, Saanvi falls unconscious] 

  Alex Bates : Sleep well, Vi.

  Zeke Landon : What do we do now?

  Alex Bates : Now we wait. And hope she doesn't need to go to the ER.

• Saanvi Bahl : I'm so sorry It is... incredibly unfair for me to have drawn you into this. Dangerous, even. Go back to your family. Forget about this. Forget about me.

  Alex Bates : Never. Not even if you up and vanished into thin air.

  Saanvi Bahl : [amused chuckle]  Yeah, that would be a feat.
