New Amsterdam

New Amsterdam2008



Omar:
[to John] People are people. If I took responsibility for everything you did, I'd never get out of bed in the morning.

John Amsterdam:
Well, it's like 200 years ago you beat up somebody in a bar and today one of his descendants blows up a building. Now you can say it's not your fault, but you're connected to it.

Omar:
It's the butterfly effect. A butterfly flaps it's wings in India and you don't get your wine shipment.

John Amsterdam:
With me it happens over time. Most people don't live long enough to see it.

Omar:
Because we only live one life.

John Amsterdam:
One life, it's... it's just a blink of an eye.
