Hence the ferryboats. Now I have to like it here. I wasn't planning on liking it here. I'm genetically engineered to dislike everywhere, except Manhattan. I have a thing for ferryboats.
Seattle has ferryboats. I didn’t know that. I have a thing for ferryboats.
All I want is Seattle. I want Seattle and to never see you again.
Don't get me wrong: I like the kissing. I'm all for the kissing. More kissing, I say.
Is it going to happen again? Let me know next time. I'll bring breath mints. Put a condom in my wallet.
Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.
Should you be worried that I met a woman? No. Should you be worried that for me flirting with that woman was the highlight of my week? Yeah, you should be worried or something.
So in other words, we’re a whole bunch of idiots.
We can be dull and lifeless together.
You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy, somebody who’s not going to complicate your life, somebody who won’t hurt you. He’s a better guy, Meredith. Finn is the better guy. I’m walking away.
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Dr. Bailey stopped the bleeding. The bad news is, we're giving your penis to the cops. Have a nice day.
So... it is intense... this thing I have for... ferryboats, I mean. No self control. It is sad, really.
You might want to leave before I change my mind and let her beat you to the tiniest pulp with her ineffectual fists.
It’s not the chase. You and me, it is not the thrill of the chase. It is not a game. It’s your tiny ineffectual fists. And your hair, it smells good. And you're very bossy, it keeps me in line.
Yeah, I'd say we're pretty good sneakers.
You know, in some states you get arrested for that.
You had a one-night stand with Mark. Okay, it was two nights. You made a mistake. Meredith and I had a relationship.
Can you imagine, just doing your job, and someone comes in and puts a bullet in your head? Just nineteen years old.
So you blew me off for a bottle of tequila. Tequila's no good for you. It doesn’t call. It doesn’t write. It’s not as nearly as much fun to wake up to.
You Ju-ju-ed Meredith.
Fish don’t like to go where there is a bunch of noise.
I'm gonna tell you. All right. My mother's maiden name, Maloney. I have four sisters. I have, uh, nine nieces. Five nephews. I like coffee ice cream, single-malt scotch, occasionally a good cigar. I like to fly fish. And I cheat when I do the crossword puzzle on Sunday. And I never dance in public. Um, favorite novel, The Sun Also Rises. Favorite band, The Clash. My favorite color is blue. I don't like light blue, indigo. The scar right here on my forehead, that's why I don't ride motorcycles anymore. And I live in that trailer. All this land is mine. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it. So that's it. That's all you've earned for now. The rest you're just... just gonna have to take on faith.
Or you could just roll with it, be flexible. See what happens.
Lighten up. It'll be good for your blood pressure.
How goes our special super secret silent sunset surgery? I've been practicing that.
Somewhere out there is a steak with your name on it and maybe a bottle of wine.
You trying to, uh, get me drunk so you can take advantage of me?
Do you want to take advantage again? Say, Friday night?
Goes along with an adulterous sociopath.
So I go upstairs, as I'm walking down the hall I try to prepare myself for what I'm going to see when I walk into my bedroom. I step on a man's jacket that doesn't belong to me. And everything I know... just shifts. Because the jacket that doesn't belong to me is a jacket that I recognize, what I know now is that when I go into my bedroom, I'm not just going to see that my wife is cheating on me. I'm going to see that my wife is cheating on me with Mark, who happened to be my best friend... I walked out, flew out to Seattle.
You were like coming up for fresh air. It's like I was drowning and you saved me. It's all I know.
We've had adultery, that was enough.
Satan speaks.
Uneasy lies ahead that wears the Chief's cap.
If you want me to cleared, you should have thought about that before you gave chief to Burke and invited Satan to Seattle.
Don't peg me, I'm not peggable.
Doctors make the worst patients. Just breathe in the happy gas. Stop running my OR.
There is a land called Passive Agressiva, and you are their Queen.
Your girlfriend is my ex- girlfriend's best friend.
Apparently being a bald beauty queen is the worst thing that could happen in the history of the world.
The chief of surgery doesn't scare me, Dr. Bailey scares me. I'm not gonna be the one to let her husband die.
And her cervix is being examined by my wife... which is an image I'll never get out of my head. Thanks for the warning.
It was a Thursday morning. You were wearing that ratty little torn up tee shirt you look so good in. The one with a hole in the back of the neck. You just washed your hair and you smelled like some sort of flower. I was running late for surgery, you said you were gonna see me later and you leaned to me, you put your hand on my chest, and you kissed me, soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit, you know, like we would do it every day for the rest of our lives. You went back to reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time that we kissed.
I just don't want me known as the guy who killed Bailey's husband.
People do things every day that they know will kill them, but doesn’t mean they want to die.
I didn't forgive her and with you I have no obligation to try.
So, baby trumps husband? Baby trumps husband?
It's just too early for me to interpret girl flip-out into normal conversation.
So was the knitting a phase? Who's next? Alex? 'Cause I here he likes to sleep around. You two have that in common.
This thing with us is finished. It's over.
If something’s over, it’s just got to be over.
Sometimes you've gotta take a chance to save a life.
There is no 'wow' in practical.
She’s tough. She tries to hide it. She’s difficult. But if you make an effort, she’s worth it. She’s worth the effort.
You think I want to look at you? That I wouldn't rather be looking at my wife? I'm married. I have responsibilities. She doesn't drive me crazy. She doesn't make it impossible for me to feel normal. She doesn't make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veterinarian touching her with his hands. Man, I would give anything to not be looking at you.
It means you have a choice. You have a choice to make. And I don't want to rush you into making the decision before you're ready. This morning I was going to come over... I was going to say... What I wanted to say was... But now all I can say is that... I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for, ever. I'm a little late, I know I'm a little late in telling you that. I, I just, I just want you to take your time, you know. Take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong. Good night.
I didn't crash your date, it was professional.
No, it’s fine. I’m glad I know about him, the vet. You really get around.
She wanted you to know that if love were enough, that she'd still be here with you.
So we're kissing but not dating?
She wanted you to know, that if love were enough, she’s still be here with out.
I certainly operate well with her!
Well forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but I don't see any practitioners of veterinary medicine at your bedside.
Don't you see? Don't you understand? You're the love of my life. I can't leave you. But you're constantly leaving me. You walk away when you want, you come back when you want. Not everyone. Not your friends. But you leave me. So I'm asking you, if you don't see a future for us, if you're not in this... Please... please just end it because I can't. I'm in it. Put me out of my misery.
I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I'm 110 years old in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime.
Do you see what happens? I say things like that and you fight the urge to run in the opposite direction. It's okay. I understand. I didn't, but now I do, I do. You're just getting started and I've been doing this for a long time. Deep down you're still an intern, and you're not ready.
Things can't stay the way they are. We can still meet in the elevator, the on call room. And maybe you'll get ready, and I'll wait. I'll wait until you're ready.
It's a beautiful day to save lives. Let's have some fun.
Fight. Fight for your life. Fight for your marriage.
You’re thanking me for the most boring sex ever?
There's no hard or fast rule, but brain injuries tend to pile up around the holidays. Like our friend here. Folks fall off their roofs while they string up lights. Or they go skating for the first time in a decade and break their heads open. And every year people drive through blizzards to get to parties where they kiss germ-infected strangers under poisonous mistletoe. And then they get so drunk that they smash their heads through their windshield on their way home. Like I said, there's no hard or fast rule.
Christmas makes you want to be with people you love. I'm not saying this to hurt you, or because I want to leave you, because I don't. Meredith wasn't a fling. She wasn't revenge. I fell in love with her. That doesn't go away because I decided to stay with you.
I was different in New York before Mark, I was different towards you. I was absent. I’m partly to blame for what’s happened to our marriage. I’m sorry. I’m working on it.
You really are Satan, you realize that right? If Satan were to take physical form he'd be you, everywhere all the time. How come you haven't gotten on your broomstick and gone back to New York where you belong? Stop being an adulterous bitch.
I wanna be with you forever, and you wanna be with me forever. In order to do that we need to make vows. A commitment. A contract. Give me a piece of paper.
You can't function ten feet from the hospital.
Relationships are built on sacrifice.
It’s possibly that porn, like art and music, can stimulate the brain and produce endorphins that minimize pain.
No, I want you to go in there and tell him that you’re wrong. That you’re having a bad day. You’re favorite uncle died of lung cancer and that every time you see a cigarette you freak out. Say whatever you need to say. Get him to believe that this about you not him. Because if he thinks he won’t be able to quit, he won’t. Then we shouldn’t even do this surgery.
He’s cancer. He infects everything. Only three hours out of Seattle and still, he infects everything. I thought that if I just got away for a while by myself, get some answers. A fresh start.
You care, because you’re you.
I was a jerk. Sometimes boyfriends can be jerks, but it doesn't mean you stop talking to them... You get that I'm saying I'm sorry, right?
It never gets easier, you know, losing a patient. It’s no less shocking, I guess.
When you get divorce, isn’t that supposed to mean your wife stops nagging you?
I’m Derek Shepard. We met at this bar, do you remember? We met, and well, you said you were just a girl, I’m just a guy. And we started this thing. We started this thing. You didn’t know anything about me, the good, the bad, the wife. You didn’t even know my name. You didn’t know me. I want you to know me. I want to start over from the beginning. So hi, Derek Shepard.
Keep Little Sloan out of little Grey is my point. Little Sloan does not enter Little Grey.
Who’s making a porno movie in Izzie’s room?
No, killing people is inhumane. Denying him pain killers is a judgment call.
I watch people die all the time. I go to people’s families and tell them their world has been ripped apart all the time. I fight like a dog to make sure that I don’t have to deliver that message and I lose that fight all the time. Then some guy like Dunn comes along and simply throws it away, life. And he has the nerve to tell me that he and I are two sides of the same coin.
You should understand more than anyone else. You wrote the book of quitting, hiding, running. You wrote a lot of books, Mer.
It’s about the ring. It’s about the vows. Savvy didn’t screw around with you with your best friend. And she’s looking for support. If you don’t give that to her, if you don’t give her that support, then what the hell am I doing?
Eventually feels a lot different than actually.
So this isn’t just break up sex, this is secret break up sex.
If I wasn’t around, you’d starve in a dirty shirt and die a lonely death.
When was the last time you called a woman after having sex?
I’ve never in my life got a patient laid, much less two patients.
It's just a scratch. She gives me sex, especially when I'm wounded.
Rambo’s completely out of control.
We save lives here. We don't just patch up patients and leave them to die. If you can't handle that, go back to the desert, and leave us here. To do our jobs.
Keep Little Sloan out of Little Grey okay? Little Sloan does not go near Little Grey.
Ridiculous is a grown man telling another man to stay out of a woman’s little.
Who’s making a porno movie in Izzie’s room?
No, killing people is inhumane. Denying people painkillers is a judgment call.
I watch people die all the time. I go to families and I tell them their world’s been ripped apart all the time. And I fight like a dog to make sure I don’t have to deliver that message and I lose that fight all the time. Then some guy like that comes along and simply throws it away, life. Then he’s got the nerve to tell me that he and I are two sides of the same coin.
I know you two are still fighting, but it’s it about time you wrap that up? I ask because when I propose to her, she’s gonna need someone to freak out to. She misses you, a lot. You miss her too, right? I don’t know what’s going on in your life but I’m sure there’s something you need to freak out to her about.
We saved a life. That’s never a waste.
You should understand better than anyone else. You wrote the book on quitting, running, hiding. You’ve written a lot of books, Meredith.
Oh you’re here now. You’ve wanted me out since the day I moved in. because you’re incapable of anything that resembles commitment. You lied to me. You said you were healthy, you were healed. There’s no fixing you. You’re a lemon.
You got me into the OR. If there’s a crisis you don’t freeze. You move forward. You get the rest of us to move forward. Because you’ve seen worse, you’ve survived worse. And you know we’ll survive too. You say you’re all dark and twisty. That’s not a flaw, it’s a strength. It makes you who you are. I’m not going to get down on one knee. I’m not going to ask a question. I love you Meredith Grey. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
We’ll get naked and get married in a field of flowers.
If you have to ask for a compliment, it’s not a compliment.
To love each other even when we hate each other. No running, no one walks out. No matter what happens. To take care when old, senile, smelly. This is forever.
[voiceover] Ask most surgeons why they became surgeons and they usually tell you the same thing. It was for the high, the rush, the thrill that comes from cutting someone open and saving their life. For me, it was different. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a house with four sisters. Definitely because I grew up in a house with four sisters. Because it was the quiet that drew me to surgery. The operating room is a quiet place, peaceful. It has to be in order for us to stay alert, anticipate complications. When you stand in the OR, your patient open on the table, all the world’s noise, all the worries the world brings disappear. The calm settles over you. Time passing without thought. For that moment you feel completely at peace.
[voiceover] Ask most surgeons why they became surgeons, they usually tell you the same thing. The high, the rush, the thrill of the cut. For me, it was the quiet. Peace is a permanent state. It exists in moment, fleeting, gone before we even knew it was there. We can experience it at any time, in the stranger’s act of kindness, a task that requires complete focus, or simply the comfort of an old routine. Every day we all experience these moments of peace. The trick is to know when it’s happening so we can embrace them, live in them and finally let them go.
[voiceover] We ask a lot of our patients, cut them open, put them to sleep, poke around in their brains and cuts with sharp instruments. We ask for their blind trust. Irony is, trust is hard for surgeons because we’re trained from day one that we can’t trust anyone but ourselves. The only instincts you can count on are your own. The only skills you can count on are your own, until one day you leave the classroom and step into the OR. You’re surrounding by others, a team of others, a team you have to rely on, whether you trust them or not.
I know it’s been a long day and you’re all anxious to get home, but I feel like we got off on the wrong foot this morning. I don’t expect to win your trust over night, but I want each of you to know you have mine, which is why I felt it was important to personally come in here and apologize. I want to clear some things up; I am neither pro or anti merger. From this point on, everyone has a clean slate. I am not focused on the past. I looking to the future to all the promise this hospital has to offer. I plan to honor Richard Weber and his legacy, not undo it, which is why I am both honored and humble to be your new Chief of surgery.
If you don’t feel the losses, if they don’t hurt you and humble you, that’s when you know you’re not cut out for this kind of work.
Derek: This is a teaching hospital. We learn a lot by doing. We can also learn, should also learn from other people’s experiences. Their losses will save you losses. Their mistakes will save you mistake. Their victories will inspire yours.
No screwing drug reps in my hospital.
I’ll make it, I told off one of my heroes today. I can do anything.
You looked at him Meredith. When you’re pissed, your face says everything. So now I have a staff that can’t trust me.
I know your loss. I lost my father when I was a kid. Two guys killed my father for his watch right in front of me. Right in front of me. I didn’t become a doctor because I wanted to become God, I came a doctor because I wanted to save lives. Look at me, please. Look at me in the eye. I’m a human being, I make mistakes, I’m flawed. We all are. Today I think, for you it’s just a mistake, or justice, or someone to hate. You’re a good man, I can see it in your eyes. Can you see it in mine? Can you?.
[voiceover] The human life is made up of choices, yes or no, in or out, up or down. And then there are the choices that matter, to love or to hate, to be a hero or to be a coward, to fight or to give in, to live or to die.
[voiceover] Live or die. That’s the important choice. It’s not always in our hands.
[voiceover] Live or die. Hero or coward. Fight or give in. I’ll say it again to make sure you hear me. The human life is made up of choices: live or die, that’s the important choice. And it’s not always in our hands.
Life is short. So now I think less and just do.
She saved my life. I owe her everything. Get out. Get the hell out.
Breakthroughs don't happen because of the medicine. Real breakthroughs happen because someone is scared to death to stop trying.
If she's going to act like a stripper, I'm going to act like a bouncer.
You know the fish can hear you. Did you read about that in your research? Fishing is supposed to be quiet.
Well, the only thing predictable about fishing is that it's unpredictable.
You don't get to act like a spoiled little brat in my OR.
Dr. Grey, you're a surgeon, not a social worker.
If not for me then do it for your future baby.
You know, I was holding her yesterday, and she was crying and then she stopped. And I've held a lot of babies; I've fixed a lot of babies. But, I looked down at Zola, and I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't imagine her being with any other parent or any other family. We've been trying so hard to start a family, and she needs one. Let's adopt her. I'm serious, let's adopt her.
Yeah, Dr. Yang and my wife sometimes have sleepovers in my bed, with me in it.

Grey's Anatomy: Miranda Bailey
I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule 1: Don't bother sucking up. I already hate you. That’s not going to change. Trauma protocol, phone lists, pagers. Nurses will page you. You answer every page at a run. A run, that's rule 2. Your first shift starts now and last 48 hours. You’re interns, grunts, nobodies, bottom of the surgical food chain. Run labs, write orders, work every second and night until you drop and don't complain. On call rooms, attendings hog them; sleep when you can, where you can. Which brings me to rule 3: If I’m sleeping don't wake me unless your patient is actually dying. Rule 4: The dying patient better not be dead when I get there. Not only would you have killed someone, you would have waked me for no good reason. Are we clear? Rule 5: When I move, you move.
He is terrified! His child is a tree! Alex, listen to me, you will not get physical with another human being on my watch ever again! You will not question my authority and you will not defend your own girlfriend for killing a man! Are we clear?!
I am the woman you gets the ‘hots’ for man candy and cheats on her husband.
Stevens, I’m going unless you need me to call security.
Stop talking. Every intern wants to perform their first surgery. That's not your job. Do you know what your job is? To make your resident happy. Do I look happy? No! Why? Because my interns are whiny. You know what will make me look happy? Having the code team staffed, having the trauma pages answered, having the weekend labs delivered and having someone down in the pit doing the sutures. No one holds a scalpel until I'm so happy I'm Mary freaking Poppins. Why are ya'll standing there, so move!
I think you're cocky, arrogant, bossy, and pushy. You also have a God complex. You never think about anybody but your damn self. But what, I still have 22 seconds, I am not done.
Dr. Stevens, unless Mr. Duquette’s heart had suddenly grown a brain, you are not doing your job.
I will call security on you.
An ass who deals in asses, we call him "Lymph Harry" never spares the nerves...
You mind moving this tail wagon? You blocking me in.
Are we saving lives or having a tea party?
Something careless this way comes.
I couldn’t imagine you and Yang would be stupid enough to fall for your attendings, I was wrong about that, now wasn’t I?
You think you charming, in that talented, neurotic, overly moussed hair sorta way. Good for ya. But if you think I'm gonna stand back and watch while you favor her..
You don't scare me. Look, I'm not gonna advertise your extracurricular activities with my intern. However, the next time I see you favorin' Meredith Grey in any way I'll make sure she doesn't see the inside of an O.R. for a month.
Me. I'm Dr. McDreamy. I'm tall, and handsome, and I like to lean against things, and ponder the difficulties of dating beautiful women. I am trying to be a surgeon here!
Oh, yeah. I was the only female intern my year. I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me except Joe. He knew me.
Alex covers the ER. You can cover sutures until you get over your new found fear of scalpels.
To work the extra shifts, to get the extra practice. I’m trying to get all the practice I can before the baby comes and I have to take time off.
All you people ever think about is how to get into somebody's pants. You nasty, that's why you got syphilis.
You swallow a bitter pill this morning, Yang? They're dolls.
I thought I was your resident not your hostess.
If they're dead or dying when they come through those doors, you hump and hump hard, why?
You are a surgical junkie. Go home.
That’s right I’m babysitting. I’m being all unprofessional, and emotionally involved, while my patient and her husband have a moment together. You might want to leave now. I’m feeling a rush of hormones coming on. There’s no telling what I might do.
Sometimes people get on the table and they just die. There’s no way of knowing beforehand, no way to control it.
We’re all part of the cosmic joke O’Malley. Now leave me alone.
You’re her doctor. It is your responsibility to give the patient information necessary to make an informed decision.
Go! Cristina, you're on the thoracotomy.
Pissing off the nurses. Stupid.
I'm pregnant, you blind moron.
Did you hear me? He’s not dead until we say he's dead.
I’m sorry did I miss the bell for social hour.
My heart rate is 110, I'm burning 3000 calories a day, my legs are swollen, I've got indigestion and gas. Did you know that carrying a boy in your uterus means that you burn 10% more calories than if you had a girl? Guess what I'm carrying? I tried for 7 damn years and a month before my fellowship notification, the stick turns blue. Men. From the very beginnin' they just suck the life right outta you. I'm not leaving. I'm pregnant.
That big? Sounds like an impressively talented man, this 'Nazi.'
Like I said the stupidity of the human race.
The woman wasn't just in prison, Yang, she was in solitary.
O’Malley, get me the lab results. Do not pass go, do not talk to another living soul. Get the labs, get back here.
You try spending a month locked in a room with no windows, no one to talk to, 23 hours a day, see how deranged she is then.
Do not think for a moment I condone stealing patients.
I didn't say she wasn't. 1, 2, 3. I said try to having no one to make your snarky comments to for a solid month. My guess is you'd swallow the entire razor.
You got your second chance, just don't screw it up.
She’s a human traffic accident and everybody is slowing down to look at the wreckage. She’s doing the best she can with what she has left. You can’t help her now. You’ll only make it worse. Walk away. Leave her to amend.
You will not interact with any patients. You will not be alone with any patients. You will be seen and not heard. You will perform no procedures. The OR is off limits. No pre-op, no post-op, no anything having to do with an op. You have no authority. You have no opinions. You have no choice in this matter. Am I understood?
Do not kick me. You cannot kick me while I’m doing my job. Thank you.
Interns. Too emotional. Apologies.
Polite doesn’t seem to be getting you two very far.
If you keep going, the way you’re going, you will get an STD. You will get pregnant. You will increase your chances of getting cervical cancer. You’re not being too smart and you’re too young for anyone to expect you to be smart the way you need to be when you’re having sex, which means you shouldn’t be having it.
Information is power.
Half this hospital knows your business. Flu is not the only virus flying through this hospital.
If you make your resident look bad, she’ll torture you until you beg for your mama.
Grey, Karev, cover the pit. You can expect all sorts of holiday idiocy sooo... that is my gift to you.
I may be 47 months pregnant, I may be on bed rest, I may not be able to see my own feet. But I am Doctor Bailey. I hear everything. I know everything. I'm watching each and every one of you.
I’ve been gone two week. Two weeks. And you’ve managed to run off two residents. I’ve got people phoning me at home telling me my interns are Rosemary’s babies. Nobody wants you! Do you think I have time for this? I am pregnant. I’m supposed to be on bed rest. I’m supposed to be growing a human being. I’m supposed to be calm. Do I look calm to you? Did I raise you fools to be pariahs?
Tell her my contractions are ten minutes apart and my water just broke all over your shoes.
A boy the size of a ten pound bowling ball is working his way out of my body. Can you get me something for that? Can you get me a new vagina? I didn't think so.
Stop looking at my va-jay-jay!
Krev, go find your patient. Stevens, scrub in on Noah's patella fracture.
You burn the She-Shepard, she burns back. Go.
You know something. Preston Xavier Burke. Where are my suck ups?
My interns. My ass-kissing, surgery hungry, competitive, suck ups? Where are they? Why aren't they here fetching you ice chips and morphine? Why aren't they here sucking up?
You can tell me whose damn panties are on the bulletin board! This is a hospital. Serious work happens here. We save lives!
Which one of you left your damn drawers on my surgical floor?!
There's ALWAYS a fish in a man's penis!
I can’t use you. You have to earn back the right for any of us to trust you again. Until then, you will be shadowing a different doctor each day.
Cause people are stupid and just want to be loved. That's the only reason anybody does anything.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I have faith. I do. But faith isn't medicine. Faith... can't heal you.
[voiceover] As doctors, we know more about the human body now than at any other point in our history. But the miracle of life itself - why people live and die, why they hurt or get hurt - is still a mystery. We want to know the ason, the secret, the answer at the back of the book. Because the thought of our being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear. But at the end of the day, the fact that we show up for each other, in spite of our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing.
Your face may be different but you know that it’s not about what you look like, or your job, or how successful you are. It’s about having people in your life that you love who love you. That’s all that matters.
[voiceover] In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. At least, that's what they say. He created the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good. And then god created man, and it's been downhill ever since. The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image, but there's not much proof of that. After all, God made the sun and the moon and the stars, and all man makes is trouble. And when man finds himself in trouble, which is most of the time, he turns to something bigger than himself, to love or fate or religion. To make sense of it all.
Right now, this second, this moment. You chose your own fate.
I thought you told me to keep the animals under control!?
It’s a hillbilly picnic.
Izzie, it's not in your job description. You are a doctor. He is a patient. He's your patient! Biopsy these! If they come back positive, I expect to see you in surgery. You're on this! You hear me?
So, because he saw you in a thong...
I can't do that, sir. You know how these young puppies are.
You do that. In the meantime, why don't we pretend it's you on this table, and give this a try.
Right. Well, let's hope she lives to "gently stalk" another day.
Look at this. Everybody wants a life without pain. And what does it get you? She needs to be on a poster somewhere to remind people, pain is there for a reason.
Look I need you to relax, shut up, and get better. You're a patient this week so you can be a doctor next week. Understand?
Hey, life is short, times are hard, the road is long, with many a winding turn.
The joy. It comes around rarely, so rarely we forget it can happen. But that, that's why we do this. The joy.
No, I'm leaving him. 'Cause a marriage that results to ultimatums, it's not a marriage. I mean, what kind of husband does that? So, I'm going to be a single mom. It's not the time for new specialties. (starts to cry) Damn. I'm sorry. I don't know, it's just the first time I've said it out loud. So it kind of just took the wind out of me.
Fools on bikes killing themselves. Natural selection is what it is.
Dead baby bike race day started twenty minutes ago.
I can’t solve a problem until there’s a problem to solve. So are you saying there’s a problem?
You think I’m even thinking about you and you’re romantic problems? I’m trying to help a patient, very near and dear to my heart. And if consulting with your wife, your ex, your mistress, whatever it is that she becomes, if that’s the thing I have to do to save my patient, then I’m going to damn well do it.
You have put yourself between two very fine women and you looking for an easy way out. You wanna use me, hospitable, somebody to make the decision for ya and it’s not gonna happen!
Let me remind you of the rules of your probation. No touching patients. No talked to patients. No rolling your eyes at patients or your superiors.
I like Thanksgiving. A day people spend with their families. Too much family time triggers depression, repressed childhood rage, bitter disputes over the remote, and way too much alcohol. People get stupid, people get violent, people get hurt. Surgeries, Grey. Lots and lots of surgeries. The stupidity of the human race. Be thankful for that.
Like I said, the stupidity of the human race.
Family members do not treat family members.
Knives can be tricky.
Hey, it's not my fault you broke the boy's penis.
It’s the car’s fault. SUVs have blind spots the size of Jupiter. And yelling and fighting and placing blame is not going to help your child!
If you thumb suckers won’t quit whining, I won’t show you what’s behind this door. And trust me, you’d want to see what’s behind this door.
I thought about it. Not keeping it. My husband and I … we tried for years but still when that stick turned blue... Well you can’t work the way we work, you can’t want the kind of careers that we want and not take pause. I took pause. I paused. I paused a very long time. I sat up one night. Middle of the night... and I knew I could do this... I still don’t know how I’m gonna do this but... I knew I could do it. You just have to know and when you don’t know then no one can fault you for it. You do what you can when you can, while you can. And when you can’t, you can’t.
Penises and fingers. Like apples and oranges.
Poor girl is going to kill herself trying not to die.
Porn as pain management.
We can’t have porn in here. We are a hospital.
And yet no one is questioning your competence as a surgeon.
No her schedule is clear now. She can’t compete today. And if she enjoys the taste of solid food, I recommend giving up the sport for something a little less aggressive. Say boxing.
Uh, Tucker Jones you better lying in the street somewhere dead Mister because when I get my hands on you... I am having your baby here Mister!
He understands his reality; he just chooses to ignore it. Denial works for him.
Oh no. You have poison oak where nobody wants to have poison oak.
Yeah I pissed off the chief. I went and had a baby. I gave birth, I created a new life. I'm a surgeon, we don't do that. He's mommy tracking me. No, I change diapers, I clean spit up, I sing the ABC's, I'm covered in mommy, but that doesn't mean I will be mommy tracked.
Look, I... I am an attending, and I am a single mother, and I lost O'Malley, and, I just can't, I can't care anymore. Stevens not my child, O'Malley was not my child. I have to stop treating. I just have to stop caring so much 'cause I can't keep feeling like this, not at work. I have to save the feeling for my son, who needs it. So I just can't keep giving it away he... I can't, I won't.
A mother who’s human, a mother who is overwhelmed.
Grey is going to coax him back as a loving friend, you're gonna use logic and reason to point out the idiocy of his ways, Stevens will made sad cancer eyes and if all of that doesn't work, Karev, you pull out your "I was raised out back with the trash cans" roots and just beat the crap out of him.
The next time you wake me, he better be so close to dead there's a tag on his toe.
He just patted me on the back. Tell me when did I become a person who gets patted on the back!?
Where was rational thought? Where was cognitive thinking? Especially to do no harm. The morals, the ethics. Where was the sanity when you three decided to help that girl? No, no speaking. Nobody speaks. I do not want to have to testify against any of you in a court of law. Not one word.
You get too involved with your patients. Why do you make everything so personal?
Okay people, the rules of trauma. Don’t mingle with the ER interns they don’t know their ass from their esophagus. So fast, discharge fast to get bodies up to the OR, and don't let me hear you fighting over patients. Got it?
No, he's not okay, at all. He hurled his body down a concrete mountain for no good reason.
I work more because I learn more.
Surgeons don’t say ‘um’ O’Malley. You want to be a surgeon, learn to speak like one.
When you operate, the rest of the world goes away, hunger, thirst, pain. You don’t feel it. But in the OR, it’s not that way, when you’re sharing your body with another person.
We’ve all had deaths, let’s go save a life.
And cocoa equals Ju-Ju how?
I have to believe that when our time comes, we go to a place, a beautiful place, a better place.
I’m proud of you all. You make me proud. You reflect on me well. Grey, if you think you can keep your clothes on long enough to follow up the lab, I’d appreciate it.
Diseased kidneys are not tchotchkes for your coffee table.
I’m not allowed to think anything. There are rules that prevent me from having an opinion here. Good rules, rules in place for a reason. Because giving an organ that god placed in your body for someone else isn’t something that you can be coerced into doing. It is a big thing, it is an extraordinary thing. It is a gift that must be freely given. And if you were to give it and I’m not asking you to, but if you were to give it, it’s not just for your husband. It’s for five other people. People that you don’t know from Adam.
Oh, you think I got to choose my interns? And I picked you people... 'cause you're all such a surgical dream team? [to Alex] You, you're lazy. [to Izzie] You're whiney. [to Meredith] Butter fingers over there... downright depressing. [to Cristina] You, Yang, you're just annoying. Choosing their own interns!
That girl worked her ass off for you and you took all the credit.
If it doesn’t feel like work, it’s not going to work.
You can’t fight who you are. If you’re the best, you’re the best.
You know what to do already. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be in so much pain.
Men. They just suck the life right out of you.
Look, these are premies, people. They were expecting to have another eight weeks in the womb. Just like interns, they’re not ready for the real world yet.
Pregnancy has not made me soft. I haven’t gone soft. I don’t do soft.
Just wouldn’t want to throw up in the body cavity.
You just have to know, and when you don’t know, then no one can fault you for it. You do what you can, when you can, why you can. And when you can’t, you can’t.
Lots of hair. Too many women. Likes elevators and long walks on the beach.
Leave this man alone. Go torture the new attending.
I lost my work-husband and my husband-husband.
Uh, the fascist vegan thinks that yoga is going to make me a better person, which is unlikely, but if I don’t go, I’ll have to hear about it every time.
There is nothing magic about a third date. It is possible to eat and go home and not lose your pants in the process.
Let me tell you about my surgical field. I prep my surgical field with soap and water. I keep my surgical field the way God made it. I don’t need a member of Ukrainian K.G.B. waxing it smooth so it can be mistaken for the surgical field of a five year old girl. I am a woman, and a woman was meant to have something on her surgical field. If a man can’t deal with a little something on a surgical field, a little nature from God, then that man has no business getting near my surgical field.
I have a diaphragm. Diaphragms prevent pregnancies, they don’t protect against the wrath of sexually transmitted diseases.
The best time to have kids... is never. They cry all the time. They never sleep. They’re terrible conversationalists. And they take everything you’ve got, all your time, all your focus, all your patience, all your sleep, everything. You’ve got nothing left for you. But this morning, Little Tuck woke me up by putting his nose up against mine. His cold little nose and he goes, ‘Wake up.’ And he got the ‘k’ sound is ‘wake.’ ‘Wake up.’ Up until today he’d say ‘d’ instead of ‘k’. ‘Wade up.’ Girl, him nailing that ‘k’ sound is the pride I felt irrational, unbridled, joy. It’s at least as good as any whipple. If you’re waiting for the perfect time to have kids, you’re never going to have kids.
You are interns. You are in charge of nothing. All procedures will be discussed and seen by an upper level. All charts will be signed out by an upper level. And all patients will be looked at by someone other than you!
Some things, O’Malley, some things just don’t need to be told.
Oh you deserve it. Dr. Karev, you do deserve chastise for your stunningly poor decision making. You certainly earn a reprimand for your unbelievably destructive tactical error. You got in the face of a drug dealer. You got in the face of a drug dealer before the police had arrived. You got in the face of a known felon while his one year old child was still in the room. Are you stupid? Are you without the intelligence because I know you were taught better than that? I taught you better than that, Dr. Karev. Getting in the face of a drug dealer, you fool.
You can go tell Dr. Grey the clinic is not a dumping ground for strays. We are not an island for broken interns. Please go tell her that.
He got in your way. He’s been doing that all day. When that happens, when an intern gets in the way of a resident, you’re not doing what’s best for your patient. And you almost misdiagnosing that kid today because Norman here thought it was drugs. Don’t apologize, he should be yelled at.
I don’t care how old he is, Dr. Karev. He is still an intern. And interns are basically teenagers. We are not hard on them because it’s fun. We are hard on them because this is a life and death job. They need to learn that. There’s a reason why we have a pecking order in a hospital. It saves lives.
People are chasing death down and trying to cheat it.
I am so right about so many things it would make your head spin.
This will be a professional environment. So your love lives, your hopes and dreams, the little joys and tragedies that make you who you are have no place in my hospital. The locker room is for changing, not for crying. The on-call room is not for anything that requires a locked door.
I pay attention. I pay attention. I pay attention to people in all walks of life, of all types. I notice people. I see people. It’s guys like you who don’t see people like me.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth at least that’s what they say. He created the birds of the air and the bees of the fields, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good. And then god created man. And it’s been downhill ever since. The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image but there’s not much proof to that. After all, God made the sun, the moon, and the stars and all man makes is trouble. And when man finds himself in trouble, which is most of the time, he turns to something bigger than himself to love or fate or religion to make sense of it all. But for a surgeon, the only thing that makes any kind of sense is medicine.
Faith isn’t medicine. Faith can’t heal you.
As doctors we know more about the human body now than at any other point in our history. But the miracle of life itself, why people live and die, why they get hurt, is still a mystery. We want to know the reason, the secret, the answer in the back of the book, because the thought of our being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear. But at the end of the day the fact that we show up for each other in spite of our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing.
Now may I recommend you all go home? You smell, you're greasy, you need to bathe and I'm sick of lookin' at ya.
This boycott has gone on long enough. Now, I have no authority here but I would like the offer my thoughts on Dr. Sloan. This man is a whore, has always been a whore, will probably always be a whore, but that’s not a secret. He’s not keeping it hidden. You all knew who he was before you got involved with him and now you want to be all ‘Woe is me, he’s done calling me back, he’s dating other women.’ He’s nasty but he’s a doctor here and a pretty good one. So let us all close our knees and get back to our jobs so he can get back to his job and help the people that really need it. Disburse!
Andrew, you’re gonna make a lot of mistakes in your life but mistakes, they’re just pieces. Like this is the foolish piece, but you know, it’s just a piece. You need to be proud of the whole picture, the whole picture defines you not just one piece.
Andrew, listen to me. Han solo is not a loser. Han solo got encased in carbonate and that was a big mess but that’s not what he’s remembered for. He’s remembered for as the guy who made the kelso run in less than twelve parsecs. And who braved the subzero temperatures of ice planet hop in order to save someone he cared about from the big ugly Whompa. He’s remembered as the guy who swooped down last minute to blast Darth Vader out of the sky so that Luke could use the force and destroy the damn death star. Okay? And Princess Leia saved him from the carbonate and they fell in love and they saved the universe and had twin Jedi babies that went on to save the universe again. Right, now that’s the whole picture. The carbonate is just a piece.
That’s the beauty of general surgery. See badness surrounded by goodness. Cut out the badness all is right with the world. It’s just you and your scalpel. One on one, mono a mono.
Next time, you'll know to bring in an ugly doll, won't you Stevens?
If it doesn’t feel like work it’s not going to work.
I do not know what it will be, I do not know when it will be. I do know that the winner should be prepared to do any surgical procedure and will choose one intern to scrub in. So practice your skills, impress your attendings, and do not make me look stupid.
Kinley has been replaced with an infant on rollerskates named Arizona, who didn’t have sense enough to change her name to something other than Arizona which shows poor judgment as does her diagnosis of a patient that I have been working with for three years. She’s completely changing Kinley’s treatment protocol based on, like half an hour experience with the child. She just took out most of his bowel instead of trying to salvage what he has left. She just wants to throw up her hands and wait for a transplant.
You. You’re squirrelly. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you in this hospital. And I certainly don’t trust you with my patient of three years who’s extremely important. If you want to stay on this case, you will stay out of my way, you will do what I tell you, and if you have something to say to or about my patient, you will raise your hand and wait to be called on.
I’m tired of waiting while this kid is getting worse. Jackson’s tired, his mother is too. The only one who’s happy to sit on her ass and twiddle her thumbs and wait is you!
I’m going to do my best to keep the beautiful little boy alive long enough to find him some organs. I suggest you do everything you can to keep your patient alive, because we’re doctors, Grey. We’re not executioners.
He’s a wreck. He’s disintegrating before our very eyes. That’s why men die earlier than women.
Do you think for a second I wanted to get involved in your little intern drama? Get married in Vegas, shackin’ up with attendings, cutting LVAD wires. You don’t have to like it, but you have to manage it.
Your friend is just fine no thanks to any of you. Tomorrow, do better.
I would want to know if my kid were sick. And if I was sick I would want my mom. I just thought you were being too proud or that you were trying to protect her, but now I see you’re just trying to protect yourself.
Don’t take my face personally, it’s my face today.
The joy, it comes around rarely, so rarely we forget it can happen. But that, that’s why we do this. The joy.
What polite company might call an intervention though I’m not sure that interventions involve whooping people on the behind with a belt.
Mb: Grey is going to coax him back as a loving friend. You are going to use logic and reason to point out the idiocy of his ways. Stevens is going to look sad with her cancer eyes, and if all of that doesn’t work, Karev, you’re going to pull out your ‘I was raised out back with the trash cans’ roots and just beat the crap out of him.
A marriage that results to ultimatums, that’s not a marriage. What kind of husband does that?
I’m going to stop listening to you because the words you are saying are hurting me!
I have five interns. Four of you have been on this table. One of you has cancer. One of you died. You better not pull anything funny on me Grey.
Don’t play the race card with me. Sing or get off my service.
I’m in the middle of a divorce. People call me the Nazi and it’s not because of my ice blue eyes. I spend 12 hours a day carving people up and I like it. I have a child and I have no room for casual anything. I’m angry all of the time and deeply confused because a lot of people have let me down recently, one of them was me. It’s devastating but not completely because it turns out I like sleeping crosswise in the bed and not having to shave my legs. My three year old used to be potty trained and now he isn’t because his father no longer lives with us and his world no longer makes sense and the only thing he thinks he can control is his bladder. So he urinates in a lot of places you wish he wouldn’t urinate. You want lunch or you want to show me the scan?
People like to feel heard. They like to feel respected. And they like to hear an apology.
Too much nature can make people crazy.
You are handing your power over to a boy because he is giving you sex. I’m Dr. Bailey, I know everything. And you have a super power. That memory of yours is a super power. And on top of it, you’re letting Alex Karev treat you like a scut monkey. Don’t care how good the sex is, if that’s what it cost, you’re paying too much. Scut Monkey. All day.
Jokes. Don’t make jokes about patients. Not in front of them, not even in private.
I just want to tell you that I will not have my personal business all over the hospital like every other resident hoe there, so therefore you will not flirt with me at work. Listen, you will not kiss me at work. You will not look at me with the obvious ‘I’ve seen you naked eyes’ at work. What we do in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. I’m a professional woman with a stellar reputation, and more importantly, and a lady does not show her drawers at the office.
You realize your door is unlocked? I could be anyone. I could be a burglar coming to burglar you. Where's the baby? Oh, I could be a baby-napper trying to baby-nap you.
OK, first of all, you do not need the law or a priest or your mother to make your wedding real. And the church can be anywhere you want it to be - In a field, on a mountain, right here in this room, anywhere because where do you think god is? Come on, He's in you. He's in me. Just right here, in the middle of us. Your church just hasn't caught up to God yet. Your mother, she hasn't caught up to God yet. And, by the way, she may not ever catch up, but it's OK. It's okay. If you are willing to stand up in front of your friends, family, and God, and commit yourself to another human being to give yourself in that kind of partnership for better or worse in sickness and in health. Hunny, that is a marriage. That is real, and that's all that matters. Besides, I got legally married in a church. Look how well that turned out.
Jonas Salk cured polio. Miranda Bailey is going to cure fistula.
Okay, I'm not dating a nurse. We're not dating, but we're having fun. I look at him and he's pretty, but there's no future.
I need someone who speaks Grey.
I'm taking a nap. Uh, I'm sorry. What I mean to say is that I'm going to use this room to take a nap. Because that's what people do in these rooms when they're tired. Cause I have a child and a full-time job and work long hours, so I'm just tired. Just very, very tired.
I generally don't make it a habit to hug my patients.
This is one surgery that I am happy to have finish. Tonight I may very well take the night off, go out, maybe have a drink, who knows?
You know the first rule of residency: Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and don't screw with the pancreas.
I could use a win, that's all. Yang. Yang was the one I didn't have to worry about.
Sexual sorbet? Hahaha! I love it.
Young people need love too.
He is terrified! His child is a tree! Alex, listen to me, you will not get physical with another human being on my watch ever again! You will not question my authority and you will not defend your own girlfriend for killing a man! Are we clear?!
I am the woman you gets the ‘hots’ for man candy and cheats on her husband.
Stevens, I’m going unless you need me to call security.
Stop talking. Every intern wants to perform their first surgery. That's not your job. Do you know what your job is? To make your resident happy. Do I look happy? No! Why? Because my interns are whiny. You know what will make me look happy? Having the code team staffed, having the trauma pages answered, having the weekend labs delivered and having someone down in the pit doing the sutures. No one holds a scalpel until I'm so happy I'm Mary freaking Poppins. Why are ya'll standing there, so move!
I think you're cocky, arrogant, bossy, and pushy. You also have a God complex. You never think about anybody but your damn self. But what, I still have 22 seconds, I am not done.
Dr. Stevens, unless Mr. Duquette’s heart had suddenly grown a brain, you are not doing your job.
I will call security on you.
An ass who deals in asses, we call him "Lymph Harry" never spares the nerves...
You mind moving this tail wagon? You blocking me in.
Are we saving lives or having a tea party?
Something careless this way comes.
I couldn’t imagine you and Yang would be stupid enough to fall for your attendings, I was wrong about that, now wasn’t I?
You think you charming, in that talented, neurotic, overly moussed hair sorta way. Good for ya. But if you think I'm gonna stand back and watch while you favor her..
You don't scare me. Look, I'm not gonna advertise your extracurricular activities with my intern. However, the next time I see you favorin' Meredith Grey in any way I'll make sure she doesn't see the inside of an O.R. for a month.
Me. I'm Dr. McDreamy. I'm tall, and handsome, and I like to lean against things, and ponder the difficulties of dating beautiful women. I am trying to be a surgeon here!
Oh, yeah. I was the only female intern my year. I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me except Joe. He knew me.
Alex covers the ER. You can cover sutures until you get over your new found fear of scalpels.
To work the extra shifts, to get the extra practice. I’m trying to get all the practice I can before the baby comes and I have to take time off.
All you people ever think about is how to get into somebody's pants. You nasty, that's why you got syphilis.
You swallow a bitter pill this morning, Yang? They're dolls.
I thought I was your resident not your hostess.
If they're dead or dying when they come through those doors, you hump and hump hard, why?
You are a surgical junkie. Go home.
That’s right I’m babysitting. I’m being all unprofessional, and emotionally involved, while my patient and her husband have a moment together. You might want to leave now. I’m feeling a rush of hormones coming on. There’s no telling what I might do.
Sometimes people get on the table and they just die. There’s no way of knowing beforehand, no way to control it.
We’re all part of the cosmic joke O’Malley. Now leave me alone.
You’re her doctor. It is your responsibility to give the patient information necessary to make an informed decision.
Go! Cristina, you're on the thoracotomy.
Pissing off the nurses. Stupid.
I'm pregnant, you blind moron.
Did you hear me? He’s not dead until we say he's dead.
I’m sorry did I miss the bell for social hour.
My heart rate is 110, I'm burning 3000 calories a day, my legs are swollen, I've got indigestion and gas. Did you know that carrying a boy in your uterus means that you burn 10% more calories than if you had a girl? Guess what I'm carrying? I tried for 7 damn years and a month before my fellowship notification, the stick turns blue. Men. From the very beginnin' they just suck the life right outta you. I'm not leaving. I'm pregnant.
That big? Sounds like an impressively talented man, this 'Nazi.'
Like I said the stupidity of the human race.
The woman wasn't just in prison, Yang, she was in solitary.
O’Malley, get me the lab results. Do not pass go, do not talk to another living soul. Get the labs, get back here.
You try spending a month locked in a room with no windows, no one to talk to, 23 hours a day, see how deranged she is then.
Do not think for a moment I condone stealing patients.
I didn't say she wasn't. 1, 2, 3. I said try to having no one to make your snarky comments to for a solid month. My guess is you'd swallow the entire razor.
You got your second chance, just don't screw it up.
She’s a human traffic accident and everybody is slowing down to look at the wreckage. She’s doing the best she can with what she has left. You can’t help her now. You’ll only make it worse. Walk away. Leave her to amend.
You will not interact with any patients. You will not be alone with any patients. You will be seen and not heard. You will perform no procedures. The OR is off limits. No pre-op, no post-op, no anything having to do with an op. You have no authority. You have no opinions. You have no choice in this matter. Am I understood?
Do not kick me. You cannot kick me while I’m doing my job. Thank you.
Interns. Too emotional. Apologies.
Polite doesn’t seem to be getting you two very far.
If you keep going, the way you’re going, you will get an STD. You will get pregnant. You will increase your chances of getting cervical cancer. You’re not being too smart and you’re too young for anyone to expect you to be smart the way you need to be when you’re having sex, which means you shouldn’t be having it.
Information is power.
Half this hospital knows your business. Flu is not the only virus flying through this hospital.
If you make your resident look bad, she’ll torture you until you beg for your mama.
Grey, Karev, cover the pit. You can expect all sorts of holiday idiocy sooo... that is my gift to you.
I may be 47 months pregnant, I may be on bed rest, I may not be able to see my own feet. But I am Doctor Bailey. I hear everything. I know everything. I'm watching each and every one of you.
I’ve been gone two week. Two weeks. And you’ve managed to run off two residents. I’ve got people phoning me at home telling me my interns are Rosemary’s babies. Nobody wants you! Do you think I have time for this? I am pregnant. I’m supposed to be on bed rest. I’m supposed to be growing a human being. I’m supposed to be calm. Do I look calm to you? Did I raise you fools to be pariahs?
Tell her my contractions are ten minutes apart and my water just broke all over your shoes.
A boy the size of a ten pound bowling ball is working his way out of my body. Can you get me something for that? Can you get me a new vagina? I didn't think so.
Stop looking at my va-jay-jay!
Krev, go find your patient. Stevens, scrub in on Noah's patella fracture.
You burn the She-Shepard, she burns back. Go.
You know something. Preston Xavier Burke. Where are my suck ups?
My interns. My ass-kissing, surgery hungry, competitive, suck ups? Where are they? Why aren't they here fetching you ice chips and morphine? Why aren't they here sucking up?
You can tell me whose damn panties are on the bulletin board! This is a hospital. Serious work happens here. We save lives!
Which one of you left your damn drawers on my surgical floor?!
There's ALWAYS a fish in a man's penis!
I can’t use you. You have to earn back the right for any of us to trust you again. Until then, you will be shadowing a different doctor each day.
Cause people are stupid and just want to be loved. That's the only reason anybody does anything.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I have faith. I do. But faith isn't medicine. Faith... can't heal you.
[voiceover] As doctors, we know more about the human body now than at any other point in our history. But the miracle of life itself - why people live and die, why they hurt or get hurt - is still a mystery. We want to know the ason, the secret, the answer at the back of the book. Because the thought of our being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear. But at the end of the day, the fact that we show up for each other, in spite of our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing.
Your face may be different but you know that it’s not about what you look like, or your job, or how successful you are. It’s about having people in your life that you love who love you. That’s all that matters.
[voiceover] In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. At least, that's what they say. He created the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good. And then god created man, and it's been downhill ever since. The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image, but there's not much proof of that. After all, God made the sun and the moon and the stars, and all man makes is trouble. And when man finds himself in trouble, which is most of the time, he turns to something bigger than himself, to love or fate or religion. To make sense of it all.
Right now, this second, this moment. You chose your own fate.
I thought you told me to keep the animals under control!?
It’s a hillbilly picnic.
Izzie, it's not in your job description. You are a doctor. He is a patient. He's your patient! Biopsy these! If they come back positive, I expect to see you in surgery. You're on this! You hear me?
So, because he saw you in a thong...
I can't do that, sir. You know how these young puppies are.
You do that. In the meantime, why don't we pretend it's you on this table, and give this a try.
Right. Well, let's hope she lives to "gently stalk" another day.
Look at this. Everybody wants a life without pain. And what does it get you? She needs to be on a poster somewhere to remind people, pain is there for a reason.
Look I need you to relax, shut up, and get better. You're a patient this week so you can be a doctor next week. Understand?
Hey, life is short, times are hard, the road is long, with many a winding turn.
The joy. It comes around rarely, so rarely we forget it can happen. But that, that's why we do this. The joy.
No, I'm leaving him. 'Cause a marriage that results to ultimatums, it's not a marriage. I mean, what kind of husband does that? So, I'm going to be a single mom. It's not the time for new specialties. (starts to cry) Damn. I'm sorry. I don't know, it's just the first time I've said it out loud. So it kind of just took the wind out of me.
Fools on bikes killing themselves. Natural selection is what it is.
Dead baby bike race day started twenty minutes ago.
I can’t solve a problem until there’s a problem to solve. So are you saying there’s a problem?
You think I’m even thinking about you and you’re romantic problems? I’m trying to help a patient, very near and dear to my heart. And if consulting with your wife, your ex, your mistress, whatever it is that she becomes, if that’s the thing I have to do to save my patient, then I’m going to damn well do it.
You have put yourself between two very fine women and you looking for an easy way out. You wanna use me, hospitable, somebody to make the decision for ya and it’s not gonna happen!
Let me remind you of the rules of your probation. No touching patients. No talked to patients. No rolling your eyes at patients or your superiors.
I like Thanksgiving. A day people spend with their families. Too much family time triggers depression, repressed childhood rage, bitter disputes over the remote, and way too much alcohol. People get stupid, people get violent, people get hurt. Surgeries, Grey. Lots and lots of surgeries. The stupidity of the human race. Be thankful for that.
Like I said, the stupidity of the human race.
Family members do not treat family members.
Knives can be tricky.
Hey, it's not my fault you broke the boy's penis.
It’s the car’s fault. SUVs have blind spots the size of Jupiter. And yelling and fighting and placing blame is not going to help your child!
If you thumb suckers won’t quit whining, I won’t show you what’s behind this door. And trust me, you’d want to see what’s behind this door.
I thought about it. Not keeping it. My husband and I … we tried for years but still when that stick turned blue... Well you can’t work the way we work, you can’t want the kind of careers that we want and not take pause. I took pause. I paused. I paused a very long time. I sat up one night. Middle of the night... and I knew I could do this... I still don’t know how I’m gonna do this but... I knew I could do it. You just have to know and when you don’t know then no one can fault you for it. You do what you can when you can, while you can. And when you can’t, you can’t.
Penises and fingers. Like apples and oranges.
Poor girl is going to kill herself trying not to die.
Porn as pain management.
We can’t have porn in here. We are a hospital.
And yet no one is questioning your competence as a surgeon.
No her schedule is clear now. She can’t compete today. And if she enjoys the taste of solid food, I recommend giving up the sport for something a little less aggressive. Say boxing.
Uh, Tucker Jones you better lying in the street somewhere dead Mister because when I get my hands on you... I am having your baby here Mister!
He understands his reality; he just chooses to ignore it. Denial works for him.
Oh no. You have poison oak where nobody wants to have poison oak.
Yeah I pissed off the chief. I went and had a baby. I gave birth, I created a new life. I'm a surgeon, we don't do that. He's mommy tracking me. No, I change diapers, I clean spit up, I sing the ABC's, I'm covered in mommy, but that doesn't mean I will be mommy tracked.
Look, I... I am an attending, and I am a single mother, and I lost O'Malley, and, I just can't, I can't care anymore. Stevens not my child, O'Malley was not my child. I have to stop treating. I just have to stop caring so much 'cause I can't keep feeling like this, not at work. I have to save the feeling for my son, who needs it. So I just can't keep giving it away he... I can't, I won't.
A mother who’s human, a mother who is overwhelmed.
Grey is going to coax him back as a loving friend, you're gonna use logic and reason to point out the idiocy of his ways, Stevens will made sad cancer eyes and if all of that doesn't work, Karev, you pull out your "I was raised out back with the trash cans" roots and just beat the crap out of him.
The next time you wake me, he better be so close to dead there's a tag on his toe.
He just patted me on the back. Tell me when did I become a person who gets patted on the back!?
Where was rational thought? Where was cognitive thinking? Especially to do no harm. The morals, the ethics. Where was the sanity when you three decided to help that girl? No, no speaking. Nobody speaks. I do not want to have to testify against any of you in a court of law. Not one word.
You get too involved with your patients. Why do you make everything so personal?
Okay people, the rules of trauma. Don’t mingle with the ER interns they don’t know their ass from their esophagus. So fast, discharge fast to get bodies up to the OR, and don't let me hear you fighting over patients. Got it?
No, he's not okay, at all. He hurled his body down a concrete mountain for no good reason.
I work more because I learn more.
Surgeons don’t say ‘um’ O’Malley. You want to be a surgeon, learn to speak like one.
When you operate, the rest of the world goes away, hunger, thirst, pain. You don’t feel it. But in the OR, it’s not that way, when you’re sharing your body with another person.
We’ve all had deaths, let’s go save a life.
And cocoa equals Ju-Ju how?
I have to believe that when our time comes, we go to a place, a beautiful place, a better place.
I’m proud of you all. You make me proud. You reflect on me well. Grey, if you think you can keep your clothes on long enough to follow up the lab, I’d appreciate it.
Diseased kidneys are not tchotchkes for your coffee table.
I’m not allowed to think anything. There are rules that prevent me from having an opinion here. Good rules, rules in place for a reason. Because giving an organ that god placed in your body for someone else isn’t something that you can be coerced into doing. It is a big thing, it is an extraordinary thing. It is a gift that must be freely given. And if you were to give it and I’m not asking you to, but if you were to give it, it’s not just for your husband. It’s for five other people. People that you don’t know from Adam.
Oh, you think I got to choose my interns? And I picked you people... 'cause you're all such a surgical dream team? [to Alex] You, you're lazy. [to Izzie] You're whiney. [to Meredith] Butter fingers over there... downright depressing. [to Cristina] You, Yang, you're just annoying. Choosing their own interns!
That girl worked her ass off for you and you took all the credit.
If it doesn’t feel like work, it’s not going to work.
You can’t fight who you are. If you’re the best, you’re the best.
You know what to do already. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be in so much pain.
Men. They just suck the life right out of you.
Look, these are premies, people. They were expecting to have another eight weeks in the womb. Just like interns, they’re not ready for the real world yet.
Pregnancy has not made me soft. I haven’t gone soft. I don’t do soft.
Just wouldn’t want to throw up in the body cavity.
You just have to know, and when you don’t know, then no one can fault you for it. You do what you can, when you can, why you can. And when you can’t, you can’t.
Lots of hair. Too many women. Likes elevators and long walks on the beach.
Leave this man alone. Go torture the new attending.
I lost my work-husband and my husband-husband.
Uh, the fascist vegan thinks that yoga is going to make me a better person, which is unlikely, but if I don’t go, I’ll have to hear about it every time.
There is nothing magic about a third date. It is possible to eat and go home and not lose your pants in the process.
Let me tell you about my surgical field. I prep my surgical field with soap and water. I keep my surgical field the way God made it. I don’t need a member of Ukrainian K.G.B. waxing it smooth so it can be mistaken for the surgical field of a five year old girl. I am a woman, and a woman was meant to have something on her surgical field. If a man can’t deal with a little something on a surgical field, a little nature from God, then that man has no business getting near my surgical field.
I have a diaphragm. Diaphragms prevent pregnancies, they don’t protect against the wrath of sexually transmitted diseases.
The best time to have kids... is never. They cry all the time. They never sleep. They’re terrible conversationalists. And they take everything you’ve got, all your time, all your focus, all your patience, all your sleep, everything. You’ve got nothing left for you. But this morning, Little Tuck woke me up by putting his nose up against mine. His cold little nose and he goes, ‘Wake up.’ And he got the ‘k’ sound is ‘wake.’ ‘Wake up.’ Up until today he’d say ‘d’ instead of ‘k’. ‘Wade up.’ Girl, him nailing that ‘k’ sound is the pride I felt irrational, unbridled, joy. It’s at least as good as any whipple. If you’re waiting for the perfect time to have kids, you’re never going to have kids.
You are interns. You are in charge of nothing. All procedures will be discussed and seen by an upper level. All charts will be signed out by an upper level. And all patients will be looked at by someone other than you!
Some things, O’Malley, some things just don’t need to be told.
Oh you deserve it. Dr. Karev, you do deserve chastise for your stunningly poor decision making. You certainly earn a reprimand for your unbelievably destructive tactical error. You got in the face of a drug dealer. You got in the face of a drug dealer before the police had arrived. You got in the face of a known felon while his one year old child was still in the room. Are you stupid? Are you without the intelligence because I know you were taught better than that? I taught you better than that, Dr. Karev. Getting in the face of a drug dealer, you fool.
You can go tell Dr. Grey the clinic is not a dumping ground for strays. We are not an island for broken interns. Please go tell her that.
He got in your way. He’s been doing that all day. When that happens, when an intern gets in the way of a resident, you’re not doing what’s best for your patient. And you almost misdiagnosing that kid today because Norman here thought it was drugs. Don’t apologize, he should be yelled at.
I don’t care how old he is, Dr. Karev. He is still an intern. And interns are basically teenagers. We are not hard on them because it’s fun. We are hard on them because this is a life and death job. They need to learn that. There’s a reason why we have a pecking order in a hospital. It saves lives.
People are chasing death down and trying to cheat it.
I am so right about so many things it would make your head spin.
This will be a professional environment. So your love lives, your hopes and dreams, the little joys and tragedies that make you who you are have no place in my hospital. The locker room is for changing, not for crying. The on-call room is not for anything that requires a locked door.
I pay attention. I pay attention. I pay attention to people in all walks of life, of all types. I notice people. I see people. It’s guys like you who don’t see people like me.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth at least that’s what they say. He created the birds of the air and the bees of the fields, and he looked at his creation and he saw that it was good. And then god created man. And it’s been downhill ever since. The story goes on to say that God created man in his own image but there’s not much proof to that. After all, God made the sun, the moon, and the stars and all man makes is trouble. And when man finds himself in trouble, which is most of the time, he turns to something bigger than himself to love or fate or religion to make sense of it all. But for a surgeon, the only thing that makes any kind of sense is medicine.
Faith isn’t medicine. Faith can’t heal you.
As doctors we know more about the human body now than at any other point in our history. But the miracle of life itself, why people live and die, why they get hurt, is still a mystery. We want to know the reason, the secret, the answer in the back of the book, because the thought of our being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear. But at the end of the day the fact that we show up for each other in spite of our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing.
Now may I recommend you all go home? You smell, you're greasy, you need to bathe and I'm sick of lookin' at ya.
This boycott has gone on long enough. Now, I have no authority here but I would like the offer my thoughts on Dr. Sloan. This man is a whore, has always been a whore, will probably always be a whore, but that’s not a secret. He’s not keeping it hidden. You all knew who he was before you got involved with him and now you want to be all ‘Woe is me, he’s done calling me back, he’s dating other women.’ He’s nasty but he’s a doctor here and a pretty good one. So let us all close our knees and get back to our jobs so he can get back to his job and help the people that really need it. Disburse!
Andrew, you’re gonna make a lot of mistakes in your life but mistakes, they’re just pieces. Like this is the foolish piece, but you know, it’s just a piece. You need to be proud of the whole picture, the whole picture defines you not just one piece.
Andrew, listen to me. Han solo is not a loser. Han solo got encased in carbonate and that was a big mess but that’s not what he’s remembered for. He’s remembered for as the guy who made the kelso run in less than twelve parsecs. And who braved the subzero temperatures of ice planet hop in order to save someone he cared about from the big ugly Whompa. He’s remembered as the guy who swooped down last minute to blast Darth Vader out of the sky so that Luke could use the force and destroy the damn death star. Okay? And Princess Leia saved him from the carbonate and they fell in love and they saved the universe and had twin Jedi babies that went on to save the universe again. Right, now that’s the whole picture. The carbonate is just a piece.
That’s the beauty of general surgery. See badness surrounded by goodness. Cut out the badness all is right with the world. It’s just you and your scalpel. One on one, mono a mono.
Next time, you'll know to bring in an ugly doll, won't you Stevens?
If it doesn’t feel like work it’s not going to work.
I do not know what it will be, I do not know when it will be. I do know that the winner should be prepared to do any surgical procedure and will choose one intern to scrub in. So practice your skills, impress your attendings, and do not make me look stupid.
Kinley has been replaced with an infant on rollerskates named Arizona, who didn’t have sense enough to change her name to something other than Arizona which shows poor judgment as does her diagnosis of a patient that I have been working with for three years. She’s completely changing Kinley’s treatment protocol based on, like half an hour experience with the child. She just took out most of his bowel instead of trying to salvage what he has left. She just wants to throw up her hands and wait for a transplant.
You. You’re squirrelly. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you in this hospital. And I certainly don’t trust you with my patient of three years who’s extremely important. If you want to stay on this case, you will stay out of my way, you will do what I tell you, and if you have something to say to or about my patient, you will raise your hand and wait to be called on.
I’m tired of waiting while this kid is getting worse. Jackson’s tired, his mother is too. The only one who’s happy to sit on her ass and twiddle her thumbs and wait is you!
I’m going to do my best to keep the beautiful little boy alive long enough to find him some organs. I suggest you do everything you can to keep your patient alive, because we’re doctors, Grey. We’re not executioners.
He’s a wreck. He’s disintegrating before our very eyes. That’s why men die earlier than women.
Do you think for a second I wanted to get involved in your little intern drama? Get married in Vegas, shackin’ up with attendings, cutting LVAD wires. You don’t have to like it, but you have to manage it.
Your friend is just fine no thanks to any of you. Tomorrow, do better.
I would want to know if my kid were sick. And if I was sick I would want my mom. I just thought you were being too proud or that you were trying to protect her, but now I see you’re just trying to protect yourself.
Don’t take my face personally, it’s my face today.
The joy, it comes around rarely, so rarely we forget it can happen. But that, that’s why we do this. The joy.
What polite company might call an intervention though I’m not sure that interventions involve whooping people on the behind with a belt.
Mb: Grey is going to coax him back as a loving friend. You are going to use logic and reason to point out the idiocy of his ways. Stevens is going to look sad with her cancer eyes, and if all of that doesn’t work, Karev, you’re going to pull out your ‘I was raised out back with the trash cans’ roots and just beat the crap out of him.
A marriage that results to ultimatums, that’s not a marriage. What kind of husband does that?
I’m going to stop listening to you because the words you are saying are hurting me!
I have five interns. Four of you have been on this table. One of you has cancer. One of you died. You better not pull anything funny on me Grey.
Don’t play the race card with me. Sing or get off my service.
I’m in the middle of a divorce. People call me the Nazi and it’s not because of my ice blue eyes. I spend 12 hours a day carving people up and I like it. I have a child and I have no room for casual anything. I’m angry all of the time and deeply confused because a lot of people have let me down recently, one of them was me. It’s devastating but not completely because it turns out I like sleeping crosswise in the bed and not having to shave my legs. My three year old used to be potty trained and now he isn’t because his father no longer lives with us and his world no longer makes sense and the only thing he thinks he can control is his bladder. So he urinates in a lot of places you wish he wouldn’t urinate. You want lunch or you want to show me the scan?
People like to feel heard. They like to feel respected. And they like to hear an apology.
Too much nature can make people crazy.
You are handing your power over to a boy because he is giving you sex. I’m Dr. Bailey, I know everything. And you have a super power. That memory of yours is a super power. And on top of it, you’re letting Alex Karev treat you like a scut monkey. Don’t care how good the sex is, if that’s what it cost, you’re paying too much. Scut Monkey. All day.
Jokes. Don’t make jokes about patients. Not in front of them, not even in private.
I just want to tell you that I will not have my personal business all over the hospital like every other resident hoe there, so therefore you will not flirt with me at work. Listen, you will not kiss me at work. You will not look at me with the obvious ‘I’ve seen you naked eyes’ at work. What we do in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. I’m a professional woman with a stellar reputation, and more importantly, and a lady does not show her drawers at the office.
You realize your door is unlocked? I could be anyone. I could be a burglar coming to burglar you. Where's the baby? Oh, I could be a baby-napper trying to baby-nap you.
OK, first of all, you do not need the law or a priest or your mother to make your wedding real. And the church can be anywhere you want it to be - In a field, on a mountain, right here in this room, anywhere because where do you think god is? Come on, He's in you. He's in me. Just right here, in the middle of us. Your church just hasn't caught up to God yet. Your mother, she hasn't caught up to God yet. And, by the way, she may not ever catch up, but it's OK. It's okay. If you are willing to stand up in front of your friends, family, and God, and commit yourself to another human being to give yourself in that kind of partnership for better or worse in sickness and in health. Hunny, that is a marriage. That is real, and that's all that matters. Besides, I got legally married in a church. Look how well that turned out.
Jonas Salk cured polio. Miranda Bailey is going to cure fistula.
Okay, I'm not dating a nurse. We're not dating, but we're having fun. I look at him and he's pretty, but there's no future.
I need someone who speaks Grey.
I'm taking a nap. Uh, I'm sorry. What I mean to say is that I'm going to use this room to take a nap. Because that's what people do in these rooms when they're tired. Cause I have a child and a full-time job and work long hours, so I'm just tired. Just very, very tired.
I generally don't make it a habit to hug my patients.
This is one surgery that I am happy to have finish. Tonight I may very well take the night off, go out, maybe have a drink, who knows?
You know the first rule of residency: Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and don't screw with the pancreas.
I could use a win, that's all. Yang. Yang was the one I didn't have to worry about.
Sexual sorbet? Hahaha! I love it.
Young people need love too.
Grey's Anatomy: Chief Richard Webber
Each of you comes here today hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you, say hello to your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty, five of you will crack under the pressure, and two of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play, that's up to you.
Great, syphilis outbreak and a tumor.
I was a better man for walking away. I loved her enough to walk away.
We’re hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.
You think that if you get me laid, I might make you Chief?
I want you to listen to me very carefully. As long as I am here, I don't know what's happening out there, with my doctors, my patients, my hospital. You are my eyes today, my ears. I want you to be a sponge. I want you to report any and everything happening in this hospital to me.
O'Malley, yell at me again and I'll snap you like a twig..
You have to accept there are days when you can’t do it all. You have to delegate.
You know, you're perfect for this job Preston - unattached, obsessive, this hospital, this job, it's enough for you, isn't it?
Being Chief is a lot like being an intern; the work never stops.
Being Chief is about responsibility. Every single surgical patient in the hospital is your patient, whether you cut them open or not. The scalpel starts with you. You need to be able to look at their family and tell them your team did everything they could to save someone’s child, their husband, your wife. You get caught up, taking care of other people’s families and the responsibility it makes you, you take care of other people’s families, and you sacrifice your own.
You don't like to hide from a fight.
Traditionally the best man plans the bachelor party.
Fresh starts. No such thing.
I don’t like fighting. I think it’s pointless and foolish. But you two idiots seem determine to beat the hell out of each other. So if you’re going to do it, you’re going to do it by my rules. Rules, to help protect your hands, so you don’t do irreplaceable damage to them, damage that could end your careers before they even started. So with that in mind, we’re going to do open-handed combat. No scratching, no biting, no punching no kicking, no wrestling moves of any kind. Any questions?
Man love. It’s beautiful. My cousin’s gay. So 'Brokeback Mountain', all of that.
Leave me alone, Derek. I've been sitting home for a week watching Oprah give away things on T.V. Oprah, Derek! You clear me now or I'll hurt you.
Stevens, you put a drill through a man’s skull and didn’t hit his brain. You saved his life.
Notice anything else about that leg? Anything other than that very clean cut? Did you happen to notice, for example, that it was shaved recently? And manicured? Take a look at my patient, Dr. Yang! Does he look like a man who woke up and shaved one of his legs this morning?
You’ve been gone a long time. I know you think you died when the outside was started. I know it’s a relief to you, I know, but it doesn’t feel like a relief to me. I’m not relieved. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss talking to you. I miss you. I dyed my hair, for the ladies.
The fellowship, LA Med, Chicago Central. They're wooing you. I mean, you're fielding offers, you're looking at bonus packages, you're letting yourself be wooed.
It's fine. It's fine. Go be a hotshot somewhere else. But tell me, how could you do this to me? I mean, I'm hurt, I'm really hurt. After all I've done for you. You're gifted and you're ungrateful. And that's all I'm sayin'.
You'll have to cover my ulcer excision.
The woman is unreasonable. When did watching a six-year-old dressed up like a wise man become... You couldn't hang up the phone?
Our Bailey, becoming a mother. Feels good having Bailey back at the hospital, balance has been restored.
Put the damn ice on your two million a year hand! Now, would someone tell me what the hell happened?
I'm going to the prom. If I have to go, everybody has to go.
Justice has no definition within the four walls of a hospital, Dr. Bailey. This isn’t a court of law.
I know you’re type, you’re a surgical junkie. It’s not going to be easy for you to be away from the OR for that long. And if you want to get back to the OR you’re going to tell me what I need to know.
No you won't, I don't wanna know. Not from you. Yeah, I have the answers, but I can't tell them to you. I'm not going to be responsible for you becoming less human.
You took a lot of hits today at the M & M. Some of them justified, some of them not. Compassion and empathy are a big part of the job. But being a parent makes you a better doctor.
There was a fish in a man's penis!
From time to time, I like to go to the zoo.
This type of treatment is why they call you the Nazi.
If you need a job to give you a life, you either need a new job or a new life.
Sometimes Meredith, a favor is just a favor. This treatment won’t cure your mother. It won’t give her a new lease on life but it may give her more good days. I urge you to consider.
Quiet board means trouble. A quiet board is death! A quiet board bodes bad news!
If I had quit, all I would have is that life that I lost. Instead I get to save lives. Every day I get to save lives.
This day, this day you feel helpless, this day makes all those other days where you fight to save a life and lose, this day makes you grateful you have a chance to do anything at all. Take it in.
I’m going to tell you what you're mother would say if she was here, you're making a big mistake.
The workings of my surgical unit don't include your personal life!
I know how to have a life outside of this hospital.
You’re not here to make friends, Addison. You’re here to make better surgeons.
Speed and precision aren’t the most important surgical skills, Dr. Yang. Basics are the key. You need a solid foundation before anything else.
You want to win? Always go back to the basics.
You don’t leave another woman’s panties in your tux unless you want her to find them.
There’s only so much we can help, and so much we can hurt. Forgive yourself.
Dr. Bailey, you thought Shepherd was just a haircut, you didn’t like Hahn, and you think Dr. Sloan is a… hussy. Can you name any attending that you thought was good?
[voiceover] I’ve seen a lot of surgery residents come and go in my time and they’re all addicted, to surgery. It comes before food, before sleep. It becomes the most important thing. The only thing. What they don’t know is that living on that high can eat them alive. Some make it through, they come out on the other side, they survive with their sanity intact. They become better doctors and stronger people. I didn’t. I broke. I didn’t kill anybody and I give thanks for that every day. But I hurt people and scared the hell out of myself. I am 45 days sober today. I am Richard and I am a grateful and recovering alcoholic.
You’re privileged. You grew up privileged and that privileged made you arrogant.
Failing again is not an option.
You think the world stops when you stop, but it keeps on going.
It’s risky yes, but not as risky as “I’ll open up the abdomen and take a good look around.”
He doesn’t have a plan, he has an attitude.
Yes, that’s because that’s the way you would do it. It’s your style. Let me tell you about your new job. You manage surgeons. Your job is to help them do what they do the way they do it, not the way you would do. It takes vision Derek. And you don’t have it.
Age is just a number O’Malley.
I’m just saying, a man whose up at 3 am fishing is a man who’s in pain over a woman.
It’s good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose.
Residents are like puppies, eager and enthusiastic and you have to learn how to teach without crushing their spirits. If you wanna work here with my residents, then you need to do better. You need to be a better teacher.
If you really want to learn about teaching, you should talk to your students and find out how they learn best.
We got sloppy, just like everybody else. We've been resting on our laurels. You have all been failing. Failing to take initiative. Failing to ask tough questions. Failing to practice your skills. Failing to give opportunity to practice skills. And I let it happen. So you have not failed. We have failed. Well, it stops, and it stops now.
Come with me. This man is very ill, may be dying. He's got a perfect healthy donor kidney that wasn’t dropped on the floor. There's only so much we can help, and so much we can hurt. Forgive yourself.
You weren't imagining things. You used to run around here with that doll on the time. Took her everywhere. Cafeteria, OR gallery. Tori's got a whole army. You didn't have anyone. Seeing Anatomy Jane ... reminded me of how much I'm to blame for that. You're a living reminder of every failure in my life. And that's not your fault. And if I thought 'I'm sorry' would hold any meaning for you at all, I'd say it. I'd say it a thousand times a day.
Dr. Bailey, you thought Shepherd was just a haircut. You didn’t like Hahn. And you think Dr. Sloan is a hussy. Can you name any attending that you thought was good?
He can’t take his organs with him to heaven. He can’t take his bowel or his intestines. His organs are probably good because he’s a young man. I know this is not what you want to think about and it’s more than anyone should ever have to think about. But he can’t take his organs with him.
You want to do a grand gesture. It’s the opening pitch of your marriage. It can determine the entire game. You gotta go all out. Now your plans should include flowers, candles, exotic foods, live musicians, and a row boat. Sky writing is not out of the question.
What the hell is this?! I have a hospital to run. And Derek what the hell is the matter with you? We’ve all been there. We’ve all had tough losses. We show up the next day and we try to save the next life. Nothing we can do can stop death. We can hold it a bay now but then everyone dies. And that’s not on us.
I know you don’t like me. And you have every right not to like me. I have abused my power but now I’m here on your turf. What I need to say is I saw what you mother was doing. I saw how neglected you were. I saw her drive your father off. And I spent a lot of time beating myself up about that. But what does that do for you? Nothing. I wasn’t your advocate. I didn’t fight for you. I never stood up for you. I left myself off the hook. I told myself I was young and didn’t know any better, but I did know better. I wasn’t much younger than you are now. I should of fought for you Meredith like you did for that child today. I told myself I wasn’t your father, that it wasn’t my responsibility that I wasn’t right now to butt in, I let myself off the hook. You were helpless. You were a baby, a beautiful, smart, funny little girl and no one stood up for you. I’m so sorry.
I’m not a bad man. I know I’m the villain in your story but I’m not a bad man.
The contest is a lion fight. Chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don't lick your wounds: celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You're in a lion fight, Stevens. Just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar.
Tell her ‘the train is leaving the station, she better get on it.’
You people answer your pages. George O’Malley jumped in front of a bus today. He knew what he was doing and he did it to save a life. I’m not going to allow you doctors to stand here. There are lives on the line; there are lives we can save. So if George O’Malley can jump in front of a bus, we can answer our damn pages. So let’s go.
You woke up every morning and you promised yourself that last night would be your last drink. And you made it until 9am or noon. Sometimes until cocktail hours. And you were so pleased with yourself that you rewarded yourself with a drink. You convinced yourself again that it would be the only one. You have a disease Thatcher. When you’re in it, you can’t stop. You can’t undo what you did. Now, Meredith is offering you a second chance and you need that liver. You need it now, if you want to live.
I have responsibilities. To make this hospital the best that it can be, to repair what I have broken, and even if it was 230 years ago. If I am now the bad guy, if I am now the villain here, well, so be it.
The biggest influences in your life are sitting next to you right now.
We’re not allowed to beat you with sticks so we punish you with scut.
Surgery is a shark tank. Sharks have teeth. Make sure you’re a shark, too and not a minnow.
I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of humanity. I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due. I will practice my profession with conscience and dignity. The health of my patients will be my number one consideration. I will respect the secrets that are confided in me, even after my patient has died. I will maintain by all the means in my power, the honor and the noble traditions of the medical profession. My colleagues will be my sisters and brothers. I will not permit considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic original, gender, race, political affiliation, nationality, sexual orientation, social standing, or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient. I will maintain the utmost respect for human life. I will not use my medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties even under threat. I make these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor.
If I wasn’t happily married, I’d hit her. I’d hit her hard.
I want to drink. Not operate, hold another man’s life in my hands.
I had to pee in a cup today Derek. I had to pee in a cup and it was humiliating. And what I did today, agreeing to the awake surgery, I know I overstep, I needed to feel something other than humiliated.
A happy patient is a healthy patient.
Go be a damn doctor. People are dying. Now go save a life. Right now.
People, people, our own trauma's fresh, and we are going to have feelings today, and there's no shame in that. What I want to say is that what we went through six months ago they are going through right now. Which makes them our brothers and sisters. Which makes them fellow travelers. Which makes them our own. So to the very best of our ability we are going to do our work first, and you're gonna have your feelings later.
We are doctors. We save people's lives every day without marrying them. You marry someone you love.
This is a totally inappropriate relationship. Totally inappropriate.
You've signed a marriage license, and you haven't asked him the most basic questions on how he wants to live or die.
Don't give me Bailey eyes.
Milkshake time is not a thing.
Twitter. What the hell is a twitter?
It might change the way you think about her. It could be the greatest thing the both of you ever did.
She didn't give you a lot of love, but she gave you her talent and her name and this.
It was your mother's work, and it's only right that you continue it.
It's your birthright Meredith. It's your mother's legacy to you.
You've got Alzheimers on the brain. You buy a car and you start seeing it everywhere you look. Now, you've been working on this Alzheimers trial 24-7. I get it. Adele is not your mother, Meredith. She's my wife.
Dr. Bailey, when you're rolling down the far side of the hill, things fall apart.
Maybe I don't understand what you two have, how you have it, but I understand this--she is your family. Callie Torres and that baby are your family.
I've made a lot mistakes, and it's taken me a lot of years to finally realize that all I want to do is be with her.
Pray people, we want God in the building today.
Great, syphilis outbreak and a tumor.
I was a better man for walking away. I loved her enough to walk away.
We’re hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.
You think that if you get me laid, I might make you Chief?
I want you to listen to me very carefully. As long as I am here, I don't know what's happening out there, with my doctors, my patients, my hospital. You are my eyes today, my ears. I want you to be a sponge. I want you to report any and everything happening in this hospital to me.
O'Malley, yell at me again and I'll snap you like a twig..
You have to accept there are days when you can’t do it all. You have to delegate.
You know, you're perfect for this job Preston - unattached, obsessive, this hospital, this job, it's enough for you, isn't it?
Being Chief is a lot like being an intern; the work never stops.
Being Chief is about responsibility. Every single surgical patient in the hospital is your patient, whether you cut them open or not. The scalpel starts with you. You need to be able to look at their family and tell them your team did everything they could to save someone’s child, their husband, your wife. You get caught up, taking care of other people’s families and the responsibility it makes you, you take care of other people’s families, and you sacrifice your own.
You don't like to hide from a fight.
Traditionally the best man plans the bachelor party.
Fresh starts. No such thing.
I don’t like fighting. I think it’s pointless and foolish. But you two idiots seem determine to beat the hell out of each other. So if you’re going to do it, you’re going to do it by my rules. Rules, to help protect your hands, so you don’t do irreplaceable damage to them, damage that could end your careers before they even started. So with that in mind, we’re going to do open-handed combat. No scratching, no biting, no punching no kicking, no wrestling moves of any kind. Any questions?
Man love. It’s beautiful. My cousin’s gay. So 'Brokeback Mountain', all of that.
Leave me alone, Derek. I've been sitting home for a week watching Oprah give away things on T.V. Oprah, Derek! You clear me now or I'll hurt you.
Stevens, you put a drill through a man’s skull and didn’t hit his brain. You saved his life.
Notice anything else about that leg? Anything other than that very clean cut? Did you happen to notice, for example, that it was shaved recently? And manicured? Take a look at my patient, Dr. Yang! Does he look like a man who woke up and shaved one of his legs this morning?
You’ve been gone a long time. I know you think you died when the outside was started. I know it’s a relief to you, I know, but it doesn’t feel like a relief to me. I’m not relieved. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss talking to you. I miss you. I dyed my hair, for the ladies.
The fellowship, LA Med, Chicago Central. They're wooing you. I mean, you're fielding offers, you're looking at bonus packages, you're letting yourself be wooed.
It's fine. It's fine. Go be a hotshot somewhere else. But tell me, how could you do this to me? I mean, I'm hurt, I'm really hurt. After all I've done for you. You're gifted and you're ungrateful. And that's all I'm sayin'.
You'll have to cover my ulcer excision.
The woman is unreasonable. When did watching a six-year-old dressed up like a wise man become... You couldn't hang up the phone?
Our Bailey, becoming a mother. Feels good having Bailey back at the hospital, balance has been restored.
Put the damn ice on your two million a year hand! Now, would someone tell me what the hell happened?
I'm going to the prom. If I have to go, everybody has to go.
Justice has no definition within the four walls of a hospital, Dr. Bailey. This isn’t a court of law.
I know you’re type, you’re a surgical junkie. It’s not going to be easy for you to be away from the OR for that long. And if you want to get back to the OR you’re going to tell me what I need to know.
No you won't, I don't wanna know. Not from you. Yeah, I have the answers, but I can't tell them to you. I'm not going to be responsible for you becoming less human.
You took a lot of hits today at the M & M. Some of them justified, some of them not. Compassion and empathy are a big part of the job. But being a parent makes you a better doctor.
There was a fish in a man's penis!
From time to time, I like to go to the zoo.
This type of treatment is why they call you the Nazi.
If you need a job to give you a life, you either need a new job or a new life.
Sometimes Meredith, a favor is just a favor. This treatment won’t cure your mother. It won’t give her a new lease on life but it may give her more good days. I urge you to consider.
Quiet board means trouble. A quiet board is death! A quiet board bodes bad news!
If I had quit, all I would have is that life that I lost. Instead I get to save lives. Every day I get to save lives.
This day, this day you feel helpless, this day makes all those other days where you fight to save a life and lose, this day makes you grateful you have a chance to do anything at all. Take it in.
I’m going to tell you what you're mother would say if she was here, you're making a big mistake.
The workings of my surgical unit don't include your personal life!
I know how to have a life outside of this hospital.
You’re not here to make friends, Addison. You’re here to make better surgeons.
Speed and precision aren’t the most important surgical skills, Dr. Yang. Basics are the key. You need a solid foundation before anything else.
You want to win? Always go back to the basics.
You don’t leave another woman’s panties in your tux unless you want her to find them.
There’s only so much we can help, and so much we can hurt. Forgive yourself.
Dr. Bailey, you thought Shepherd was just a haircut, you didn’t like Hahn, and you think Dr. Sloan is a… hussy. Can you name any attending that you thought was good?

Grey's Anatomy: Alex Karev
And you're the pushy, overbearing kiss ass. I hate you too.
You're the ovarian sister, here.
I mean, how are we supposed to get any O.R. time if everyone's gonna live?
No, it kills me that anybody got the harvest but me. Boobs do not factor into this equation. Unless, uh, you want to show me yours.
That's cool man. Get yours. I’m done with the rainbow. Oh, you're not gay?
BWA HA HA! It's Hellraiser!
Talk about shrinking the salamander.
I grew up in a bar. Literally, in a bar. My dad was always doing one of two things in there: playing music or drinking. Never took me to the park, just figured this is my chance to get out with the guys. The one time I tried.
So, Grey and Stevens really walk around in their underwear? And they just let you look at them? Like sisters? But they're no coming on to you? They don't expect you to do anything. Like sisters. Just like sisters.
Maybe he's lucky. Maybe this is his way out of the hole. My father was into smack pretty heavy. He was a musician. It's tolerated in his line of work, not good for the family at home.
Oh, do you want to go out for a drink later, and hear about my secret pain?
Everybody's got a secret just be glad yours is out in the open.
Look, if you don't wanna go out with me just say so, you don't need to lie.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. O'Malley, you think too much, can't you see it? You gotta dance and jab, dance and jab! Like me. I am the Ali of this place.
Basically, you tried to kill a guy.
Oh, look who found some clothes.
I say live your life while you can, in the Bahamas.
I know I’m pretty to look at and all but George back up.
I bet you got a bunch of sneaky skeletons in your closet.
My mother used to pray to Saint Jude for me.
Nice skirt Esther, what are you? Amish?
Does the wall ever bow back?
Nice panties Yang.
If I had a chance to lose the urine bag around my ankle, I wouldn’t hesitate, either. But then again I don’t let my mommy do all my talking for me.
I’m a doctor George. It’s called a penis. You have a rash on your penis.
Gives a whole new meaning to metro-sexual.
I guess sleeping with your boss has its perks.
Syph-boy - it's got a nice ring to it. Kinda like Super-boy, only diseased.
Nobody sends back a superhero.
Oh, sure, I'm the guy with the heart of stone, and you brought snacks.
He's gonna die die, no pulse pulse, he is gonna be dead dead.
It’s always a nice thing when the patient doesn’t die.
The dude punches like my sister.
Oh, Isabel Stevens has finally left the hospital. So does this mean heart patient dude finally kicked it?
You don't want to go to County. I mean here they know how to kill you and bring you back, but at County they just know how to kill you.
Surgery is the only specialty where we don't waste time getting to know the patients. They're slabs of meat, we're butchers.
I'm not evil. Unless evil turns you on.
Sounds like there's a sick and twisted story behind this.
Whip it out, I'll measure.
Because I have a head and you are a tail.
Fine, she's Satan's whore.
For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. So that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss, Nicole. Trust me, you don't want to. Because when you find that right person, a first kiss, it's everything.
I'd look at you in a skirt, something short, maybe school girl. Pleated.
You cut 'em off, you build 'em back up. Maybe you get to upgrade. Life goes on.
Here's the thing - I like your rack.
I like your rack and I'd want them around if I could have them, trust me I would, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you got rid of them... because really, I'd want you.
She's McHot.
What I’m saying is, Izzie likes you, and she’s not going to be the one to pull away.
Because he's Mark Sloan. He's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the East Coast.
The She-Shepard just walks in here and pulls me off surgery?
Izz, it's not Denny. The minute his heart stopped beating, he stopped being Denny. Now I know you love him, but he also loved you. A guy like loves you like that would not want you to do this to yourself. Because it’s not Denny, not anymore.
The problem is the colors and - and the balloons and the Under the Sea. No, it's Titanic. Hey, let's go with Tears In Heaven. No, that's too morbid. It should be pink, it should be red, it should be a freakin' rainbow.
Let's say you were drafted to a team that wasn't your first pick. You know, you don't like the players. You hate the way they play the game. You even think the quarterback is full of crap. The quarterback is a pain in the ass that you don't owe a damn thing to. But it's your team. You don't quit. You don't talk to the press. You don't bitch to the coach. You just, you just go out there every Sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you play to win. You show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team.
And the tequila thing, and the inappropriate men thing.
Yang decanulated a heart. Why is Alex not surprised?
She’s Callie O’Malley.
I would notice... if you were missing. I would notice.
I need to use your bathroom cause O'Malley's puking in mine.
Your first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop. And you don't complain. You NEVER complain.
Dude. None of you are normal. You're freaking band nerds!
It’s not like I should be surprised. When your life is sucking you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It’s your thing, whatever. I find it charming.
Nobody should die alone.
I kissed you. And I plan on doing it again and again. Get used to it. End of discussion.
George, get a clue. Syphilis is the best thing that's happened to you. In their eyes you're a player.
My anger had a life of its own. I bulked up, became a wrestler and the next time he laid a hand on my mother I beat the crap out of him. When he got out of the hospital he took off. He just took off and never came back.
You realize when I said the apocalypse I meant it metaphorically, not literally.
Doesn't matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. I follows us home. It changes our lives. Trauma messes everyone up. But maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushed us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up.
Captain of the Vagina Squad.
I don’t do vagina, not as a doctor anyway.
I'd really like to try your method of healing with love.
Yeah give Nurse O'Malley a drink on me.
O’Malley, you are a sad excuse for a man. I know you heard me. You’re like a whiny little girl. You know why he’s not speaking to you, it’s because he’s not over you. And you got laid, and it went badly. A man would move on. But you, you mope around this place like a dog that likes to get kicked. You make me sick. And if it wouldn’t get me thrown out of the program, I’d smash your pathetic little face right into that locker.
I failed the medical boards. If I tell Izzie, she’ll be all nice and supportive about it. She mind as well rip my nads off and turn them into earrings.
You’ll move on when you’re ready to.
Man, high school really does suck.
The stuff you don’t remember is usually the stuff you don’t want to remember.
Get your mind out of the gutter, crack whore.
I got to hand it to the guy, trying to get some action just before he’s a corpse.
You’re breaking up with me over a corpse?
Left pocket of my lab coat Georgie. No glove no love.
O’Malley’s a fetus. He’s all whiney and afraid of the light.
Fetus is freaking out.
You’re his doctor Izzie. And he’s your half-dead, possibly soon to be all-dead patient. How could I possibly be threatened by that guy?
I need to tell you something, and I need you to not panic. I need you to keep breathing. I need you to stay alive, 'cause... I swear to God, I need you to stay alive. All right?
I tell the truth. It’s what I do. It doesn’t make me a bad doctor. Everyone walks around this place fine. Look, we tell the patient that’s dying that there’s hope when there is no hope. Maybe I’m a pig, maybe I’m an ass, maybe I’m a vermin like everyone says, but I tell them the truth. It’s the one thing that I’ve got going for me, and you don’t get to take that away from me and call it a lesson. Sir.
You wrote some hokey crap on a post-it note in the resident's lounge. Sorry, but until you're sweating it out in a morning coat with a ball of white taffeta coming at you, you're not really married.
You died in my arms. You freakin' died and then you left instructions that I wasn't allowed to save your life. You want to know what I'm scared of? I'm scared of everything! I'm scared to move! I'm scared to breathe! I'm scared to touch you! I can't lose you. I won't survive. And that's your fault. You made me love you, you made me let you in, and then you freakin' die in my arms!
Izzie Stevens does penance. You did something bad.
You can get over a bad childhood. You can have the worst crap in the world happen to you. You can get over it. All you’ve got to do is survive.
Did Santa ever hit you in the stomach with a baseball bat?
People die, and the other people kinda get messed up about it.
I’m so handsome, I intoxicate you.
Izzie. I never wanted to hurt you.
Well, we make a mistake here, and people die. It happens all the time.
We all have setbacks Mauer. You’re a writer, I’m a doctor. We don’t have a “Plan B.”
He’s got serial killer eyes.
I have a free 20 minutes. Do you want to go have not feelings somewhere?
Dude, you’re lucky you have a famous last name.
Not here. Sloan’s gone all psycho killer on me. Smiles and crazy eyes, I don’t know what he’s gonna do.
I’ve got to operate with the guy. You mess with him. He might stab me with a scalpel.
Dude, he failed his exam and got left back in kindergarten.
Check it out, Bambi’s a bridesmaid.
Dude, wake up and smell the surgical board.
You say she’s not your sister. You say you don’t want to get to know her. So why do you care so much?
I don’t do secrets. I don’t do any of the fifteen year old ‘Ooh I’m gonna tell you but don’t tell anyone else.’
You’re playing dress up. You’re here playing dress up. You have a husband, Rebecca. You have a baby and I have a life. That girl you were talking to earlier today while playing med student, I’m screwing her. She might be a bigger wreck than I am but at least she’s not married. At least she’s not going to get me suspended. At least she’s not pretending to be someone she’s not. You’ve got to ask yourself what you’re doing here. If you could just tell the truth for one damn minute, I think you have to admit you’re not here to talk.
I’m the Angel of Death, got it.
You’re on a space ship to the moon. Enjoy the ride.
Dude, a Lexopedia.
I know I'm being an ass. I can't help it. I'm pissed off, all the time. So much so that I can’t even breathe. But you can't be pissed at a crazy chick for losing her mind, so there's nobody else for me to be pissed at. Except you. Nobody else.
Interns is the other white meat.
He said the ER’s like being in the field. You use what’s available.
I’ve already got my quota for crazy for the year.
She could lie to you and tell you what you want but she’s not. She’s telling you what’s real for her. Stop walking away.
Is this about Denny? Is this some kind of dead boyfriend art therapy?
You can’t help the epilepsy but nobody made you join the marching band. That’s like spreading nerd on nerd.
Dude, none of you are normal. You’re freakin’ band nerds.
[voiceover] Surgeons are all messed up. We’re butchers, messed up, knife happy butchers. We cut people up and move on. Patients die on our watch, we move on. We call trauma, we suffer trauma. We don’t have time to worry about all the blood and death and crap it makes us feel.
Do you know how many people are in this hospital waiting, hoping that their loved one might actually live? You’re a bunch of vultures.
[voiceover] It doesn’t matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everyone up, but maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap, maybe going through all of that keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up.
Today’s the day my life begins. All my life I’ve been just me, just a smart mouth kid. Today I become a man. today I become a husband. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today I become accountable to you, to our future, to all the possibilities our marriage has to offer. Together, no matter what happens, I’ll be ready for anything, for everything, to take on life, to take on love, to take on possibility and responsibility. Today, Izzie Stevens, our life together begins, and I, for one, can’t wait.
I’m not the one with a carrot for a brain but I’m married to it. because of some crock of a wedding we walked into, but only because two of us thought you’d be dead in a week. You made me promise you that you wouldn’t live like this. So now what the hell am I supposed to do? Smother you with a pillow? Shoot you up with an overdose of morphine? Not really psyched about that. Leave you, not really psyched about that either. So I guess I’m kinda screwed. I mean, not as bad as you but not a freakin’ walk in the park either! I’m sorry, Iz.
Stroke before you’re even born, rough way to start a life.
Kid’s gonna die. Deal with it or get out.
Maybe that’s my problem. I’m nobody’s bitch.
Love comes and goes. Surgery doesn’t.
It all happened Iz. You got cancer and we got married. You died and you lived again. And then you left and came back. And we got through it. I got through it. and I’m on the other side. Iz I love you so much and I met you, I used to think I wasn’t just a good guy. Growing up with my family and that’s what they told me. But now, after all of it, I know I’m a good man. And I thank you for that, because I know now that I’m good enough not to deserve this. Not to have to feel like this. Not to love you so much that I almost hate you. I deserve someone who will stay. I’m happy you’re okay, and I’m happy about your job and I want you to go and be happy and not come back.
I get it. You get dumped by your boyfriend and you go for the extreme makeover. Chicks always do that.
Dude, it’s like working with Forrest Gump.
Dude, you’re like a kid with trading cards, except with heart surgeons.
Powerful guys like adorning girls.
I can see you like vegetables, after surgery you might become one.
What do you call the man who’s so fat he couldn’t get out of bed? Dead and selfish, because you left a 700 pound mess for your wife to clean up.
This isn’t right. I know crazy. I grew up with crazy, I dated crazy, I don’t’ think this girl is crazy.
I figure if you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, eventually start to feel like a duck. Lexie is nice and normal and healthy. I’m acting like a guy who can stick with nice and normal and healthy.
You could be nicer to me because he peed his pants and I cleaned it up before you got here.
You've just been called a dumb blonde.
If it was my arm and I couldn't operate anymore, I'd do everything I could to keep it.
You want your kid to be a man? Let him make his own decisions.
Lily, I told you already - turn it down or put on your head phones. The rest of us don't have Bieber fever - whatever that is.
Pediatric surgery has nothing to do with liking kids. You go into peds because it's elite. The best of the best.
Let's play a game. There's only one rule. You don't call Starke.
You need to get over this thing where you're just thinking of her as your wife, because your wife is the only person twisted enough to handle this crap.
I hear there's a turnip in the cabbage patch.
Yeah, well, you keep squinting like that, and you're going to get crow's feet, but I'm good at plastics. You want me to do something about that?
Maybe it's glaucoma. Hey, you can get a prescription for pot.
You're gonna screw your way to the top. I'm impressed.
I'm sure she's pretty much going to go crazy or get cancer, shot by a gunman, or get hit by a truck, so don't get your hopes up Karev's big happily ever after.
You know happens when you break the rules, Mer? You get a hundred thousand bucks.
Look life is too short. I almost died trying to stop that guy. Besides, you know how much tail you get offered when you're carrying a bullet in your chest. It's like I'm a legend.
You've just been called a dumb blonde.
Men don't discriminate when it comes to jugs. You have hot boobs and I stare at them too.
Lily, I told you already - turn it down or put on your head phones. The rest of us don't have Bieber fever - whatever that is.
Pediatric surgery has nothing to do with liking kids. You go into peds because it's elite. The best of the best.
You're the ovarian sister, here.
I mean, how are we supposed to get any O.R. time if everyone's gonna live?
No, it kills me that anybody got the harvest but me. Boobs do not factor into this equation. Unless, uh, you want to show me yours.
That's cool man. Get yours. I’m done with the rainbow. Oh, you're not gay?
BWA HA HA! It's Hellraiser!
Talk about shrinking the salamander.
I grew up in a bar. Literally, in a bar. My dad was always doing one of two things in there: playing music or drinking. Never took me to the park, just figured this is my chance to get out with the guys. The one time I tried.
So, Grey and Stevens really walk around in their underwear? And they just let you look at them? Like sisters? But they're no coming on to you? They don't expect you to do anything. Like sisters. Just like sisters.
Maybe he's lucky. Maybe this is his way out of the hole. My father was into smack pretty heavy. He was a musician. It's tolerated in his line of work, not good for the family at home.
Oh, do you want to go out for a drink later, and hear about my secret pain?
Everybody's got a secret just be glad yours is out in the open.
Look, if you don't wanna go out with me just say so, you don't need to lie.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. O'Malley, you think too much, can't you see it? You gotta dance and jab, dance and jab! Like me. I am the Ali of this place.
Basically, you tried to kill a guy.
Oh, look who found some clothes.
I say live your life while you can, in the Bahamas.
I know I’m pretty to look at and all but George back up.
I bet you got a bunch of sneaky skeletons in your closet.
My mother used to pray to Saint Jude for me.
Nice skirt Esther, what are you? Amish?
Does the wall ever bow back?
Nice panties Yang.
If I had a chance to lose the urine bag around my ankle, I wouldn’t hesitate, either. But then again I don’t let my mommy do all my talking for me.
I’m a doctor George. It’s called a penis. You have a rash on your penis.
Gives a whole new meaning to metro-sexual.
I guess sleeping with your boss has its perks.
Syph-boy - it's got a nice ring to it. Kinda like Super-boy, only diseased.
Nobody sends back a superhero.
Oh, sure, I'm the guy with the heart of stone, and you brought snacks.
He's gonna die die, no pulse pulse, he is gonna be dead dead.
It’s always a nice thing when the patient doesn’t die.
The dude punches like my sister.
Oh, Isabel Stevens has finally left the hospital. So does this mean heart patient dude finally kicked it?
You don't want to go to County. I mean here they know how to kill you and bring you back, but at County they just know how to kill you.
Surgery is the only specialty where we don't waste time getting to know the patients. They're slabs of meat, we're butchers.
I'm not evil. Unless evil turns you on.
Sounds like there's a sick and twisted story behind this.
Whip it out, I'll measure.
Because I have a head and you are a tail.
Fine, she's Satan's whore.
For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. So that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss, Nicole. Trust me, you don't want to. Because when you find that right person, a first kiss, it's everything.
I'd look at you in a skirt, something short, maybe school girl. Pleated.
You cut 'em off, you build 'em back up. Maybe you get to upgrade. Life goes on.
Here's the thing - I like your rack.
I like your rack and I'd want them around if I could have them, trust me I would, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you got rid of them... because really, I'd want you.
She's McHot.
What I’m saying is, Izzie likes you, and she’s not going to be the one to pull away.
Because he's Mark Sloan. He's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the East Coast.
The She-Shepard just walks in here and pulls me off surgery?
Izz, it's not Denny. The minute his heart stopped beating, he stopped being Denny. Now I know you love him, but he also loved you. A guy like loves you like that would not want you to do this to yourself. Because it’s not Denny, not anymore.
The problem is the colors and - and the balloons and the Under the Sea. No, it's Titanic. Hey, let's go with Tears In Heaven. No, that's too morbid. It should be pink, it should be red, it should be a freakin' rainbow.
Let's say you were drafted to a team that wasn't your first pick. You know, you don't like the players. You hate the way they play the game. You even think the quarterback is full of crap. The quarterback is a pain in the ass that you don't owe a damn thing to. But it's your team. You don't quit. You don't talk to the press. You don't bitch to the coach. You just, you just go out there every Sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you play to win. You show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team.
And the tequila thing, and the inappropriate men thing.
Yang decanulated a heart. Why is Alex not surprised?
She’s Callie O’Malley.
I would notice... if you were missing. I would notice.
I need to use your bathroom cause O'Malley's puking in mine.
Your first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop. And you don't complain. You NEVER complain.
Dude. None of you are normal. You're freaking band nerds!
It’s not like I should be surprised. When your life is sucking you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It’s your thing, whatever. I find it charming.
Nobody should die alone.
I kissed you. And I plan on doing it again and again. Get used to it. End of discussion.
George, get a clue. Syphilis is the best thing that's happened to you. In their eyes you're a player.
My anger had a life of its own. I bulked up, became a wrestler and the next time he laid a hand on my mother I beat the crap out of him. When he got out of the hospital he took off. He just took off and never came back.

I failed the medical boards. If I tell Izzie, she’ll be all nice and supportive about it. She mind as well rip my nads off and turn them into earrings.
You’ll move on when you’re ready to.
Man, high school really does suck.
The stuff you don’t remember is usually the stuff you don’t want to remember.
Get your mind out of the gutter, crack whore.
I got to hand it to the guy, trying to get some action just before he’s a corpse.

Grey's Anatomy: Izzie Stevens
You try eating after performing 17 rectal exams. The Nazi hates me.
Maybe it's professional jealousy. Maybe she's brilliant and they call her a Nazi because they're jealous. Maybe she's nice.
It’s just not fair. It’s really not fair. We treat jerks all the time, patch them up, send them off whether they deserve it or not. No big deal, But, Denny, he’s a good guy Dr. Burke. He’s a really good guy with a bad heart, and all we can do for him is wait.
I wouldn't have called you but I can't get hold of a translator. Can you just ask her what's wrong?
You want to see it. You really want to see it. Fine, let's look at that tattoo up close and personal shall we! What are these? Oh my God. Breasts! How does anybody practice medicine holding these around? And what do we have back here? Let’s see if I remember my anatomy. Gluts. Let’s study them, gather around and let’s study the booty that put Izzie Stevens through med school. Have you had enough or should I continue because I have a few more very interesting tattoos? You want to call me Dr. Model, that's fine. Just remember while you're sitting on $200,000 of student loans, I’m out of debt.
It doesn't bother me, okay? Look at me in my underwear, George. Take your time, it's no big deal.
I don't know. What do they do for the 666 on your skull?
You know what? You're gonna have to get over the whole man thing, George! We're women! We have vaginas! Get used to it!
It’s not about me. It’s about me wanting to talk to you about you needing so much sex your girlfriend’s vagina is broken.
She lost a baby, she lost a fallopian tube, she's acting like she doesn’t even care. She’s all "Hello I’m fine" person. She’s acting like she has no emotions, no warmth, like she's missing a soul.
You said, "I am not your sister". Do you feel like I was emasculating you?
I’m both. I’m a surgeon and a person who becomes emotionally involved.
In fact, we'll probably have sex after the party, or during the party.
George has turned into a sex machine.
I know how the rumor mill works around here George. I’m the crazy intern. Now I’m the crazy intern who has a babysitter.
You know how what you don’t have sex for a while, you sorta forget how good it is and don’t really need it as much. It’s like a beast, a beast that was asleep for a long, long time. And now the beast is wide awake, and the food that Alex gave it was good food, George.
Hank just needs to realize that doctors can have fun. We're not all workaholics with God complexes.
Holy Mother of Destruction...
Last I heard, perpetual sex is not one of the five stages of grief, but denial is.
You are so my favorite person today!
I laugh at funerals.
And my all time favorite question, have you pooped yet?
Life is short, George. Do you really want to die before you ever ask her out? Do you really want to die a liar?
Life is short, George. Life is short and it sucks a lot of the time. If being with Callie makes you happy then go be with Callie.
You are hateful! You are a Hateful! Hateful, lazy, arrogant... hateful man! Hateful!
No, it's about sex all night. I can't believe you're not pissed off about this, you of all people.
Suck it up. Go back with your tail between your legs and just apologize.
George this program will make or break our careers, some of us will make it through and some of us won't. And that decision depends entirely on recommendations from doctors like Shepherd. There is a reason we don't sleep with the attendings.
It didn't exactly sound like anything was happening against her will last night.
She should oil the bedsprings, as a courtesy, or at least buy a padded headboard.
Well, at least we know brain surgery isn't his only skill.
There's no reason to be ashamed. It's normal, healthy even.
You have a healthy body and if you fall down you won’t turn to stone. And your mom so wanted you to just let yourself fall. Messing up, it’s what makes a person. It’s how we learn, where we find joy. And the things you don’t plan for, the things you never see coming.
You know what? It's no big deal, you don't have to lie. I get it. You have needs.
He's freaked out because I caught him playing with little Jimmy and the twins.
Oh, so, by your definition then, you got beat up by a girl.
George, beer is dripping from your nostrils.
They're human beings. You do know what a human being is, Evil Spawn?
Well, you haven’t told McDreamy that you’ve dumped the vet.
Did you ever wake up in the morning and realize that nobody likes you, and, I don't know, care?
Came home to full-on vomit drama. Apparently she dumped Derek. And her.
You don’t marry the rebound girl, am I right?
Am I going to be alone, pining over a dead guy for the rest of my life?
Because I have to know that I didn’t spend my entire inheritance on an empty room with empty beds. Because if I did that, I just might go crazy. And George already called dibs on ultra crazy this week. Do you think that Callie’s pregnant?
Oh, that’s so great. Tiny diamonds are great because you know no one will ever try to steal it.
She's been sleeping with Burke.
Two hours of vomiting will do that to you.
Give her a break, she has a hangover.
Wait, both of them? Together? And me by myself... w-with the two married people, who hate each other?
You know I especially like the part where you treated me like crap the entire night. That was fun.
Poor George, he doesn't have the steadiest hands.
Please don't say that to her face. I think that panda died alone.
No! No. You're like a broken record. God. You're only ever nice or friendly or anything when it's convenient for you. So no to your favor. No to you. No. I put on a dress! I did my hair! I had one night off in 2 weeks and I wasted it on you. And what do I get? Nothing. No respect. No apology. You couldn't even be bothered to kiss me goodnight. You know what, you're a coward and you're just as shallow as you seem. So I am done trying to be your friend or whatever. I'm over it.
No, I am breaking up with you because on your best day, that corpse is twice the man you will ever be. You’re not good enough for me, Alex. You’re not good enough for anyone.
I’m sorry; this section of the bar is for surgeons. We don’t socialize with gynecologists.
Weddings are about hope and the future.
If there was a genetic test for testicular cancer, you think men who tested positive would have this surgery? No, because it's castration. What man would willingly get rid of the part of his anatomy that makes him a man? This woman is having herself castrated. And we book an OR and act like it means nothing. It's not nothing! God, how could you possibly act like it's no big deal? I mean, what if it was me?
If I was the one with the cancer gene... I mean, what if I showed up tomorrow and my boobs were made of plastic and my skin had aged 10 years and my sex drive had dried up? If it was me, Alex, would you be so fine with it then?
I just need some sex, George.
She's nine hours old, George.
OK. A: this is not a competition. And B: my quint kicks your quints asses. Emily's strong, she won't let go of my finger.
Well, she would have been if I hadn't interrupted.
You don't talk to bastards who cheat on their girlfriends, George. That's the rule.
That's not the point.
I'm having a moment here. Don't mess with me.
Meredith, have you gone mental?
I'm a farmer, okay? I've been drooling, puking, and crapping in my pants.
Because, it's what JESUS, would freaking do!
No, you don't get to say my name! And you are unbelievable!
You didn’t hurt me. I don’t even know you, I’m a farmer.
I say I like the guy, and you can't stop hating him. Then as soon as he screws me over, you're his new best friend.
He cheated on me with George's skanky syph nurse!
Eating is a sport?
Here, books and movies. It's form all of us.
Apparently you can help Dr. McDreamy in ways the rest of us can't.
Maybe you are wrong all the time, it doesn’t matter you still have to gravel.
She can have more than a trailer park and a graveyard shift at a truck-stop diner. Don't you want that for her? I mean, if you can get past the fact that I'm superior, and that I'm judging you, and telling you what's best for your family... if you can just get past all of that, isn't it possible that I'm also right?
Yeah, enjoy your syphilis, Olivia.
People have sex in this hospital all the time.
I wanted better for her than I could do at sixteen.
Alex, I haven't had sex in eight months and 12 days. I'm horny, I'm half naked, and I'm saying yes. You wanna stand there and talk metaphors or do you wanna literally take off your pants?
I gave you sex in the linen closet, you tell him.
Code Black? Code Red, Code Blue, Code White. I never had a code Black. Dr Shepherd?
McYummy?
Morning. What? So I slept with him again. So I'm a big whore. A big horny whore who can't get enough. Can we get over the shocked silence already?
I can not date a patient.
You don’t need vows on your hand. When you get up there, you just speak from the heart.
I swear to God Cristina. I like you. I really do. But I grew up in a trailer park and I am not above kicking your pampered little Beverly Hills ass. And I do mean physically kicking your ass.
He's just not George anymore. He's broken George. First he chops off his hair, then he starts hanging out with this Callie. What is-that's not a name Callie. Who is she anyway? I'm his best friend, not that he talks to me anymore.
I'm knitting a sweater. Actually Meredith, that's my friend - the friend that broke George - is knitting a sweater. She's not really knitting a sweater because she cannot knit but I want her to think she is knitting a sweater because she and I took a celibacy vow so she's replacing sex with knitting and so I'm knitting pieces of Meredith's sweater so that I can switch them out with hers so that she can really believe she's knitting because if anybody needs to be celibate, it's Meredith because she broke George.
Our divorce lawyer is so not playing an arcade game for 53 levels.
Holy Crap! George is her McDreamy!
Except when you chop off a hand, you don’t kill your sex drive, have silicone breasts, get hot flashes, and lose your ability to have children.
Everyone who is entered in the transplant program is clocked in to the second. To the second, Denny. You were clocked into the second and so was the other guy, I checked with UNOS. The difference between when you entered the program and when he entered the program is 17 seconds. That's it Denny. 17 seconds. I mean, its not even the length of a decent kiss. So this other guy, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve this heart. I'm sure he does, but so do you! So do you. And if you tell me anymore crap about heading towards the light or looking down on me from heaven I swear I will kill you myself right now!
No, I get it! Ok? I get it! You'll be ok, you'll be fine, but what about me? So don't do it for yourself, do it for me! Please! Please Denny! Please do this for me! Because if you die, oh God, you have to do this! You have to do this for me or I'll never be able to forgive you!
No! For making me love you! Please! Please do this for me, ok? Please? Ok, I can't do this if you don't! Please do this for me, cause if you don't, please?
I think it was a stroke. He was prone to blood clots. A clot could have formed on his sutures and traveled to his brain, it only takes a second.
Dr. Hahn did a beautiful job on the surgery. But I don't know why I didn't think of blood clots. He died all alone. He was alone.
I changed my dress three times. I wanted to look nice. I would have been here sooner. But I couldn't figure out which dress to wear.
If you wait a few minutes, you can have a piece of cake. Bake of chock full of love. Well actually bake chock full of all-relenting, all-consuming, rage, and hostility. But still tasty.
I told you to tell her how you feel. I did not tell you to jump into bed with her.
An hour ago he was proposing. And now... and now he's going to the morgue. Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't it the most ridiculous piece of crap you've ever...
I'm not being arrogant, it's just, it's just kind of a fact. For a long time I made a career from my looks, so I get it, I'm a pretty girl. And not in a "from a certain angle" way, in an obvious way. It's the blonde thing and the big boobs thing, big boobs are a key to obvious pretty if you know what I'm saying. It's how men see me. I'm not a smart girl or an interesting girl, I'm a pretty girl. The blonde and the boobs, it confuses guys into thinking that I'm someone else. And I'm used to it. And I'm used to them walking away when they realize... but then Denny goes and asks me to marry him. He doesn't make me feel like I'm a pretty girl. He makes me feel like, like me. I think he might know me. And so, if I did cut the LVAD wire, and I'm not saying that I did, but if I did, then no, I don't feel guilty. And I know that I should. And I would if it were anybody else's. But I can't feel anything but happy.
Well, I'm giving you an out. You thought you were dying and I was saving your life and well, you know, it was so..
They’re married, she took a vow. You don’t mess with vows. Married is married. Game over. It’s so freaking over.
If they’re going to get violent, they’ll probably do it themselves.
We can't get married. I mean that would be insane. We should date, and have sex. Plenty of sex. You know when your heart gets better and you're out of the hospital, all the sex you can handle. But marriage is, um, marriage...
I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. Like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast and I just wanna go back to when things were normal. When I wasn't "Poor Izzie" laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her dead fiancée. But I am. Because I can’t and I’m just stuck. And there is all this pressure cause everyone is hovering around me waiting for me to do something. Or say something, or flip out, or yell and cry some more and I'm happy to play my part. I'm happy to say the lines and do whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing if it will make everyone feel more comfortable. But I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be this person. I don't know who this person is.
I hate the bride thing. I hate the pictures in the magazine with the girl, with the veil, and the flowers that she’s sniffing. Like it never occurred to her to stick her nose in there and there’s a camera pointed at her. I hate the idea of bridesmaid and the colors. And does the bustle make my ass look bigger or smaller. I hate those things. I never wanted to be that girl who’s stupid, shallow. Why the hell is that girl still running through my head?
I am an optimist. I am hopeful. I am not sure. Because I’m your best friend and because I love you. If what you want is to be with Callie, then I will do everything in my power to support you and help you make your marriage work. Because I’m your best friend. Because I love you. I also have to say that I’m in love with you. I’m in love with you. I can’t promise the future. I can’t promise the imperfection because we’re us and I’m me, or what will happen. But in my heart, I am sure. I’m in love with you, George and I hope that you’re in love with me, too.
McDreamy’s sister is McBitchy.
There’s a third option you know. Take your chances, get cancer, and fight like hell to survive.
You understand? Really? Did you cut someone’s LVAD wire, fell in love with a man, and then he died? How in the hell could you possibly know.
Izzie and Alex have a patient that only speaks about himself in the third person.
Izzie isn't either. Last week, Izzie was digging through crap, this week she's fondling man boobs. No decanulating hearts for Izzie!
Izzie thinks this whole bright and shiny thing is getting old.
Dude, she went all cage fighter on you!
I ate everything out of the fridge last night including a tub of butter. There's no judgment here.
I couldn’t cut off my ovaries and breasts just because I might have cancer.
People are what matters? You don’t like people. Is this about your mother?
You give me the ‘people is what matter’ thing again, I will kill you.
Whoever it is is from Stanford. Because everyone at Stanford just loved Cristina.
I know people die. People die in front of us every day, but I believe Meredith will survive this. I believe. I believe in the good. I believe that it’s been a hell of a year. I believe that in the face of overwhelming and instant contrary we will all be okay. I believe a lot of things. I believe that Denny is always with me. And I believe that if I eat a tub of butter and no one sees me, the calories don’t count. And I believe that surgeons who prefer staples over stitches are just lazy. And I believe that you are a man who made a terrible mistake marrying Callie. And I believe it because I’m your best friend, I can tell you this and we’ll be okay. I believe that even though you made this mistake, you will be okay. I believe we survive, George. I believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive.
And I believe that you are a man who made a terrible mistake marrying Callie. And I believe that because I am your best friend, I can tell you this and we can be okay. I believe that even though you made this mistake, you will be okay. I believe we survive, George. I believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive.
Messing up. It's what makes a person. It's how we learn, where we find joy. And the things you don't plan for are things you never see coming.
I had sex last night. With the wrong person. But the thing is, it didn't feel wrong; at the time. It felt like; something was falling into place. So what do I do?
God got a virgin pregnant by magic. God is not playing by the rules.
Yeah, yeah. You should have said something or you know, banged on the wall.
My problem is you. You're my penis fish.
You've crawled in, and latched on. And now I can't move, or talk, or think, or even pee without the nagging feeling that something is eating through my organs.
You guys are just used to it, that’s all. You already have it. You have that thing everybody else wants. You can take it for granted. Let me tell you, if you didn’t, if you couldn’t be with the person that you love, I guarantee that hearing him promise to love you and honor you and cherish you no matter what, it would be pretty much all you would think about.
I know you didn't wake up today expecting this was how your first day was going to go. You thought you would get to reattach an arm or observe brain surgery. Instead you helped save the life of a deer. You can bitch and complain about it or you can adjust your expectations. Cause like it or not you're stuck with me and I'm the kind of doctor who lets a little kid convince her she can do the impossible. Oh plus when I woke up this morning I thought today was going to go a lot differently too. I thought I was going to get the good interns. Instead I get stuck with the duds. So I have to adjust my expectations as well.
You’re too busy screwing nurses to talk.
Trauma protocol, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run. That's rule number two… You're supposed to follow me.
Okay I have an old guy trying to kill himself. So I don't have time for you two and your fake drama.
Did you just quote Gandhi to me?
Meredith, if you can’t make this right. If you can’t fix this with George, just so you know, when it comes to choosing sides, I’m on his.
I can feel you. I can smell you. If you're dead, how come I can smell your skin? So I'm thinking, maybe you're not dead. Maybe that was the part of me that was crazy, that part that thought you died. Maybe this is the not crazy part. You are still alive, right? That's it.
It’s basically a slumber party. They do it outside, we do it inside.
I tie. Sidney is my peer counselor. ‘Heal with love’ Sidney.
I would rather sift through feces than talk to you.
I am! I am. Scientists believe what they can see, what they can feel... Facts. Hard facts. I slapped you. That is a fact. I felt... your face my hand. Fact. I can feel your breath against my skin. Fact.
In the choice between heaven and hell, I choose heaven. I choose life. Go. Get out of here! Go out get of here! Go.
This is who I was. It has nothing to do with who I am now. I'm a physician. A surgeon! And I am just as qualified as any other intern on this floor. So you're just going to have to get over your chauvinist crap and allow me to do my job.
No, you told me the most important thing is giving the patient what they want. What Humphrey wants is his erection.
What self-respecting surgeon wears salmon-colored scrubs?
If you think that this means I respect you, if you want me to respect you, you have to do something worth respecting.
Stop talking about me. I am fine. I’m cleaning out my locker and going home. Mer is the one with the problems.
If that skirt didn't have a big pair of bouncing boobs attached to it, you'd stop looking.
Miracles happen. Medical miracles happen every day. People live.
You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?
You can do it, but I don't wanna end up a vegetable.
Where your eyes are supposed to be right now, I see white sandy beaches. And there's an ocean behind your head, and there are ghosts wandering in and out. I can't live like this, and I cant live if something goes wrong in that surgery I don't want any extraordinary measures taken to keep me alive. It's not what I want. I went crazy when Denny signed the DNR because I didn't understand. I didn't understand but now I do, and I need you to understand. I don't want you to go crazy, I want you to have a brilliant career, and I hope that I get to be here for that. But, if I can't I just wanna go to the other side. I don't know what's there but it's gotta be better than hospital beds and tubes down my throat. So please, please don't cut LVAD's. Just if it comes down to it, just let me go. And right now, kiss me. Please, please just kiss me and close your eyes because the beach is so distracting.
Well, I'll tell you. I know I'm supposed to be grateful for my "new lease on life". Alex marched in here and basically told me that being married to me was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Yeah, and that he was trying to decide whether smothering me with a pillow was the best way of putting us both out of our misery.
As doctors we keep secret. We keep secrets because we have to. But not all secrets can be kept.
Take your chances, get cancer, and fight like hell to survive.
You think you know someone, know who they are, share a house, make wishes on eyelashes with them. And we don't know each other, none of us, we're just a bunch of interns that work together. There's nothing there.
Why is her urine blue?
Nobody gets it right with their own family.
I’m sorry. We were friends. You were my boss but I think we were friends, too. And I never meant for anyone to get hurt. And I know there is nothing I can do to take it back.
We work eighteen hours a day. Six days a week. Fifty weeks a year. We don't really have time for our families, we don't have friends that aren't doctors. But we have this one day, one day where we get to be like everybody else, one day to be normal, one day where nobody loses and nobody dies on our watch. It's like a gift. So I just thought we should appreciate it, that's all.
That's not a dog. That's a hyena, escaped from the zoo, dressed in dog clothing.
Vicious, hyper-devil mutt is available. And will pee on the bed.
Congratulations. You are not an idiot. Except when you’re being an idiot.
Cheyenne is smart. She's smart and she's thoughtful and she can have more. She can have more than a trailer park and a graveyard shift at a truck stop diner. Don't you want that for her? I mean if you can get past the fact that I'm superior and that I'm judging you and that I'm telling you what's best for your family. If you can just get past all of that, isn't it possible that I'm also right?
I'm her mother but I'm not her mom. Look um I know that where we come from this kind of thing doesn't get talked about but I wanted you to know that there's more than one way to be a good mother. I wanted, I wanted better for her than I could do at sixteen.
If you're gonna clog up the toilet you've got to be willing to use a plunger. Otherwise we're gonna make you crap in the backyard.
You have to go to work. You're an intern. Saving lives is not optional.
Alex I gave you your chance. You had your chance and you slept with someone else. I forgave you in the spirit of being a bigger person. Of rising above but these legs are closed to you now. The panties are staying on. So you and me? Never gonna happen.
I'm being a doer. Getting while the getting's good. Now take off your pants.
How can someone be so offensive and yet so charming all at the same time?
Alex. I haven't had sex in 8 months and 12 days. I'm horny, I'm half-naked and saying yes. You wanna stand there and talk metaphors or do you wanna literally take of your pants!
Okay, do not even talk to me about standards. The girl can’t even wash her hands.
It’s stupid dancing, friggin’ bobbsey twins. Stupid!
Am I supposed to move on now? Do people look at me and go, she’s gotta get over it, it’s ruining her life?
He’s in George’s room and when George’s marriage crashes and burns and he wants to move back in, he won’t be able to. His life will be in the shambles, he’ll finally notice that his dad is dead, and that he made a fool out of himself by marrying someone he doesn’t really love and he’ll have no place to go. Is that what you want?
I'm in love with this incredible guy and we're having problems. And my best friend, he would know what to say to me about it. I need to be able to talk to my best friend. I cannot get through this without my best friend.
Let me speak, because I am your best friend, and because I love you. If what you want is to be with Callie, then I will do everything in my power to help you make your marriage work, but because I am your best friend, and because I love you...I also have to say that I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you, and I hope you’re in love with me, too...say something.
Get up. I mean it. Get up! Now go get a life. George was a surgeon, he had a purpose. He wanted to save lives and now he doesn’t get the chance. Now he doesn’t get the chance to do anything anymore but you do. You could go to medical school. You could hang out with your freaking friends. I don’t care what you do; just go do something with your life. Because you have one. You lived, you lived and George didn’t. And I know, I know that that feels horrible and shocking and terrifying, but you lived. So go live your freaking life. But God, have enough respect for George to figure it out. If I see you sitting on this bench again, I will kick your ass from here to Sunday.
Be my husband. Get undressed, get into bed and hold me. I don't know what you're so mad about and I don't know what you're scared of because you won't talk to me. But I'm scared, too, Alex, and I can't if you won't, if we're gonna have any chance at a life together, then I need you to... please.
Where were you when he needed you? Because I was there. I was there the whole time. I was working 80 hour weeks and I was still always there. He had so many surgeries, so many procedures, he was so scared. Where were you then? Where were you? You might not get me but you don’t have to because I don’t get you either. I don’t get how a father abandons his dying son.
Cause this being a decent guy and a selfish jerk the next is getting really old. Who’s it going to be? So pick one.
God forbid we call them animals.
It’s like a bouquet of corpses.
I love you. I’ll always love you. So even though you’ll be gone, but you will never be forgotten by me.
I think you and the pig murderer would make a great couple.
He trusted you to be his ‘shepherd.’
Parental disappointment ends with a medical degree.
This so beats tampon training.
You are the one that got me fired. You owe me this you little bitch. Unless you want me that snotty Reed, what’s her name? And tell her how much you love her, because I will.
You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The day you think are going to be big ones, they’re never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It’s the regular days, the ones that start out normal; those are the days that end up being the biggest. And today was the wedding. It was beautiful. Perfect.
I’m trying to save Bambi’s life. My interns think I’m a loser.
It’s not childish to hold onto hope. It’s actually hard, very hard. Your son just wants to believe that some things can work out for the best.
I know you didn’t wake up this morning expecting this was how your first day was gonna go. You thought you’d get to reattach an arm or observe brain surgery; instead you helped save a life of a deer. You can bitch and complain about it or you could adjust your expectations. ‘Cause like it or not, you’re stuck with me. And I’m the kind of doctor that lets a little kid convince her she can do the impossible. Oh plus, when I woke up today I thought it was going to go a lot differently too. I thought I was going to get the good interns; instead I get stuck with the duds. So I have to adjust my expectations as well.
just because people do horrible things doesn’t mean they’re horrible people.
Some things are worth fighting for.
I’m just saying, I learned how to fight in the trailer park. Where did she learn to fight? Boarding school? Not quite the same thing.
I’m a street fighter. I have some bad ass in me. I can take a girl down.
Meredith put her mom in a baggy and brought her to work.
Hot perfect sex requires shaved legs.
I think a patient feels better if they know their kids are terrified. I think they’re more likely to pull their surgery if they know that their wives are not panicked. I think those things matter.
You’re right Cristina, in the contest to see who can be the best robot, you win.
I don’t need guys. I don’t need sex because this competition is my work-gasm. Cristina, would you focus. It’s so much more fun kicking your ass when you focus.
Great doctors have that extra instinct, George. They just know. I have to have that instinct George. My instincts lately, very bad. Really bad. They told me to go to cardio. They told me to have sex with a married man. They are not serving me well. I am in danger of going extinct here if this keeps up. And I’m going to win this contest for no other reason that I have to win it!
I’m a little worried about my friend Alex here because his Jane Doe girlfriend keeps showing up like something out of Fatal Attraction.
You’re not pregnant first of all, and Alex is turning his life upside down to be your baby daddy and I can’t tell him because of confidentiality. So yeah, I’m upset.
What do you prefer Meredith, chocolate cake or an STD?
If you see Karev, get an 18 gage needle and shove it in his throat.
Give me back my surgery or I'll shoot your ass off!
People are terrible to the people they love sometimes. They're mean. You were both having a hard time and you took it out on each other. It doesn't make you the worst wife in the world. It just makes you a person who made a mistake.
You can't blame yourself. Some people are just broken. I guess you just try not to care too much and you can't be disappointed.
Owen Hunt is murdering sadistic bastard. He’s stabbing pigs, defenseless pigs. Or as he likes to call it, live tissue because God forbid you should call them animals.
I’m saying this to you as my roommate and not my attending. You disgust me.
It’s like a bouquet of corpses.
If you die, she will not get over it. She will not move on. She will think she can. But she will not be able to move on.
They’re all silent rage-y.
Stars and exes, dude. We’re pickin’ wishes.
I think it’s nice. Your date. I think you and the pig murderer will make a nice couple.
You only get to do a first date once. It should be fun and sexy and oh! Ask really good questions. Ask him why he wants to save lives. Ask him what his best surgery ever was.
You are like the guy that graduated from high school and still hangs out on the football field.
I can feel you. I can smell you. If you’re dead how come I can smell you skin. So I’m thinking, maybe you’re not dead. Maybe that was the part of me that was crazy, the part that thought you died, this is the not crazy part. You’re still alive, right? That’s it. Are you a ghost or a dream?
Scientist believe what they can see, what they can feel. Facts. Hard facts. I slapped you, that is a fact. I felt your face on my hand, fact. I can feel your breath against my skin, fact.
Miracles happen. Medical miracles happen every day. People live even when they shouldn’t, they live.
In the choice between heaven and hell, I choose heaven. I choose life.
The interns are broken. They’ve been punished for taking out their own appendixes and it’s making them hate medicine. They’re lost right now and they’ve forgotten that this thing they hate is actually a thing they love. So, I’m going to remind them.
You losers really think you’re capable of holding someone’s life in your hands when you can barely finish the intern bowl.
Dr. Bailey is an ass. Say that she doesn’t listen to the patients when they have important information about the interns.
You’re unmotivated, careless, selfish, distractive, and pretty much the people in this hospital I wouldn’t trust with my life. But that’s the way it’s supposed to be, you’re interns. You’re babies. And you’re all lucky to work here. We’re all lucky because we get to save lives. Every day we get to save lives. That’s what we do, that’s our job. It’s not something a lot of people get to do.
She is not fine! She had hallucinations. She had visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations about her dead fiancé. She thought she could talk to him and touch him. She’s not fine. You’re missing something. You’re not looking in the right place. Go back and figure out what you’re missing.
You think that every time you diagnose a patient, hand someone a death sentence, there’s a prize? The prize is you didn’t screw it up this time. The prize is you people actually did something right. The prize is you were doctors today. You were doctors, that is the prize!
They’re all doctors. Their patients shouldn’t suffer just because I have things growing on my organs.
I love you mom. I love you so much, but we do better loving each other from a distance.
You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be big ones; they’re never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It’s the regular days, the ones that start out normal; those are the days that end up being the biggest. Today is the wedding. It was beautiful. Perfect.
You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. the day you commit to the something or someone, the day you get your heart broken, the day you meet your soulmate, the day you realize there’s not enough time, because you want to live forever. Those are the biggest days, the perfect days. You know, it was a beautiful day.
I’m so sorry. George is dead. He’s dead, they’re about to put him in the ground and the priest is doing classic rock lyrics and that girl, that redhead is crying harder than his mother. And she never even met him. And you got married on a post-it. And I got cancer, what!?
I had a five percent chance of survival. I have incurable cancer but I am living with it. And the only reason I am, the only reason I’m standing here right now is because no one ever said to me, we’ve done everything we can do. I’m alive right now because people have fought for me. Cristina fought for me. He deserves the chance to fight. If he doesn’t want it, fine, I will shut up, but he deserves a chance.
Because it’s crazy. Surgery, it’s just a job. It’s the thing you come home from, not the thing you come home to, and if you lose your job, you get another one. Cause there’s always another one. If you love, if you think you’re losing your love, then suddenly nothing else matters.
Maybe it's professional jealousy. Maybe she's brilliant and they call her a Nazi because they're jealous. Maybe she's nice.
It’s just not fair. It’s really not fair. We treat jerks all the time, patch them up, send them off whether they deserve it or not. No big deal, But, Denny, he’s a good guy Dr. Burke. He’s a really good guy with a bad heart, and all we can do for him is wait.
I wouldn't have called you but I can't get hold of a translator. Can you just ask her what's wrong?
You want to see it. You really want to see it. Fine, let's look at that tattoo up close and personal shall we! What are these? Oh my God. Breasts! How does anybody practice medicine holding these around? And what do we have back here? Let’s see if I remember my anatomy. Gluts. Let’s study them, gather around and let’s study the booty that put Izzie Stevens through med school. Have you had enough or should I continue because I have a few more very interesting tattoos? You want to call me Dr. Model, that's fine. Just remember while you're sitting on $200,000 of student loans, I’m out of debt.
It doesn't bother me, okay? Look at me in my underwear, George. Take your time, it's no big deal.
I don't know. What do they do for the 666 on your skull?
You know what? You're gonna have to get over the whole man thing, George! We're women! We have vaginas! Get used to it!
It’s not about me. It’s about me wanting to talk to you about you needing so much sex your girlfriend’s vagina is broken.
She lost a baby, she lost a fallopian tube, she's acting like she doesn’t even care. She’s all "Hello I’m fine" person. She’s acting like she has no emotions, no warmth, like she's missing a soul.
You said, "I am not your sister". Do you feel like I was emasculating you?
I’m both. I’m a surgeon and a person who becomes emotionally involved.
In fact, we'll probably have sex after the party, or during the party.
George has turned into a sex machine.
I know how the rumor mill works around here George. I’m the crazy intern. Now I’m the crazy intern who has a babysitter.
You know how what you don’t have sex for a while, you sorta forget how good it is and don’t really need it as much. It’s like a beast, a beast that was asleep for a long, long time. And now the beast is wide awake, and the food that Alex gave it was good food, George.
Hank just needs to realize that doctors can have fun. We're not all workaholics with God complexes.
Holy Mother of Destruction...
Last I heard, perpetual sex is not one of the five stages of grief, but denial is.
You are so my favorite person today!
I laugh at funerals.
And my all time favorite question, have you pooped yet?
Life is short, George. Do you really want to die before you ever ask her out? Do you really want to die a liar?
Life is short, George. Life is short and it sucks a lot of the time. If being with Callie makes you happy then go be with Callie.
You are hateful! You are a Hateful! Hateful, lazy, arrogant... hateful man! Hateful!
No, it's about sex all night. I can't believe you're not pissed off about this, you of all people.
Suck it up. Go back with your tail between your legs and just apologize.
George this program will make or break our careers, some of us will make it through and some of us won't. And that decision depends entirely on recommendations from doctors like Shepherd. There is a reason we don't sleep with the attendings.
It didn't exactly sound like anything was happening against her will last night.
She should oil the bedsprings, as a courtesy, or at least buy a padded headboard.
Well, at least we know brain surgery isn't his only skill.
There's no reason to be ashamed. It's normal, healthy even.
You have a healthy body and if you fall down you won’t turn to stone. And your mom so wanted you to just let yourself fall. Messing up, it’s what makes a person. It’s how we learn, where we find joy. And the things you don’t plan for, the things you never see coming.
You know what? It's no big deal, you don't have to lie. I get it. You have needs.
He's freaked out because I caught him playing with little Jimmy and the twins.
Oh, so, by your definition then, you got beat up by a girl.
George, beer is dripping from your nostrils.
They're human beings. You do know what a human being is, Evil Spawn?
Well, you haven’t told McDreamy that you’ve dumped the vet.
Did you ever wake up in the morning and realize that nobody likes you, and, I don't know, care?
Came home to full-on vomit drama. Apparently she dumped Derek. And her.
You don’t marry the rebound girl, am I right?
Am I going to be alone, pining over a dead guy for the rest of my life?
Because I have to know that I didn’t spend my entire inheritance on an empty room with empty beds. Because if I did that, I just might go crazy. And George already called dibs on ultra crazy this week. Do you think that Callie’s pregnant?
Oh, that’s so great. Tiny diamonds are great because you know no one will ever try to steal it.
She's been sleeping with Burke.
Two hours of vomiting will do that to you.
Give her a break, she has a hangover.
Wait, both of them? Together? And me by myself... w-with the two married people, who hate each other?
You know I especially like the part where you treated me like crap the entire night. That was fun.
Poor George, he doesn't have the steadiest hands.
Please don't say that to her face. I think that panda died alone.
No! No. You're like a broken record. God. You're only ever nice or friendly or anything when it's convenient for you. So no to your favor. No to you. No. I put on a dress! I did my hair! I had one night off in 2 weeks and I wasted it on you. And what do I get? Nothing. No respect. No apology. You couldn't even be bothered to kiss me goodnight. You know what, you're a coward and you're just as shallow as you seem. So I am done trying to be your friend or whatever. I'm over it.
No, I am breaking up with you because on your best day, that corpse is twice the man you will ever be. You’re not good enough for me, Alex. You’re not good enough for anyone.
I’m sorry; this section of the bar is for surgeons. We don’t socialize with gynecologists.
Weddings are about hope and the future.
If there was a genetic test for testicular cancer, you think men who tested positive would have this surgery? No, because it's castration. What man would willingly get rid of the part of his anatomy that makes him a man? This woman is having herself castrated. And we book an OR and act like it means nothing. It's not nothing! God, how could you possibly act like it's no big deal? I mean, what if it was me?
If I was the one with the cancer gene... I mean, what if I showed up tomorrow and my boobs were made of plastic and my skin had aged 10 years and my sex drive had dried up? If it was me, Alex, would you be so fine with it then?
I just need some sex, George.
She's nine hours old, George.
OK. A: this is not a competition. And B: my quint kicks your quints asses. Emily's strong, she won't let go of my finger.
Well, she would have been if I hadn't interrupted.
You don't talk to bastards who cheat on their girlfriends, George. That's the rule.
That's not the point.
I'm having a moment here. Don't mess with me.
Meredith, have you gone mental?
I'm a farmer, okay? I've been drooling, puking, and crapping in my pants.
Because, it's what JESUS, would freaking do!
No, you don't get to say my name! And you are unbelievable!
You didn’t hurt me. I don’t even know you, I’m a farmer.
I say I like the guy, and you can't stop hating him. Then as soon as he screws me over, you're his new best friend.
He cheated on me with George's skanky syph nurse!
Eating is a sport?
Here, books and movies. It's form all of us.
Apparently you can help Dr. McDreamy in ways the rest of us can't.
Maybe you are wrong all the time, it doesn’t matter you still have to gravel.
She can have more than a trailer park and a graveyard shift at a truck-stop diner. Don't you want that for her? I mean, if you can get past the fact that I'm superior, and that I'm judging you, and telling you what's best for your family... if you can just get past all of that, isn't it possible that I'm also right?
Yeah, enjoy your syphilis, Olivia.
People have sex in this hospital all the time.
I wanted better for her than I could do at sixteen.
Alex, I haven't had sex in eight months and 12 days. I'm horny, I'm half naked, and I'm saying yes. You wanna stand there and talk metaphors or do you wanna literally take off your pants?
I gave you sex in the linen closet, you tell him.
Code Black? Code Red, Code Blue, Code White. I never had a code Black. Dr Shepherd?
McYummy?
Morning. What? So I slept with him again. So I'm a big whore. A big horny whore who can't get enough. Can we get over the shocked silence already?
I can not date a patient.
You don’t need vows on your hand. When you get up there, you just speak from the heart.
I swear to God Cristina. I like you. I really do. But I grew up in a trailer park and I am not above kicking your pampered little Beverly Hills ass. And I do mean physically kicking your ass.
He's just not George anymore. He's broken George. First he chops off his hair, then he starts hanging out with this Callie. What is-that's not a name Callie. Who is she anyway? I'm his best friend, not that he talks to me anymore.
I'm knitting a sweater. Actually Meredith, that's my friend - the friend that broke George - is knitting a sweater. She's not really knitting a sweater because she cannot knit but I want her to think she is knitting a sweater because she and I took a celibacy vow so she's replacing sex with knitting and so I'm knitting pieces of Meredith's sweater so that I can switch them out with hers so that she can really believe she's knitting because if anybody needs to be celibate, it's Meredith because she broke George.
Our divorce lawyer is so not playing an arcade game for 53 levels.
Holy Crap! George is her McDreamy!
Except when you chop off a hand, you don’t kill your sex drive, have silicone breasts, get hot flashes, and lose your ability to have children.
Everyone who is entered in the transplant program is clocked in to the second. To the second, Denny. You were clocked into the second and so was the other guy, I checked with UNOS. The difference between when you entered the program and when he entered the program is 17 seconds. That's it Denny. 17 seconds. I mean, its not even the length of a decent kiss. So this other guy, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve this heart. I'm sure he does, but so do you! So do you. And if you tell me anymore crap about heading towards the light or looking down on me from heaven I swear I will kill you myself right now!
No, I get it! Ok? I get it! You'll be ok, you'll be fine, but what about me? So don't do it for yourself, do it for me! Please! Please Denny! Please do this for me! Because if you die, oh God, you have to do this! You have to do this for me or I'll never be able to forgive you!
No! For making me love you! Please! Please do this for me, ok? Please? Ok, I can't do this if you don't! Please do this for me, cause if you don't, please?
I think it was a stroke. He was prone to blood clots. A clot could have formed on his sutures and traveled to his brain, it only takes a second.
Dr. Hahn did a beautiful job on the surgery. But I don't know why I didn't think of blood clots. He died all alone. He was alone.
I changed my dress three times. I wanted to look nice. I would have been here sooner. But I couldn't figure out which dress to wear.
If you wait a few minutes, you can have a piece of cake. Bake of chock full of love. Well actually bake chock full of all-relenting, all-consuming, rage, and hostility. But still tasty.
I told you to tell her how you feel. I did not tell you to jump into bed with her.
An hour ago he was proposing. And now... and now he's going to the morgue. Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't it the most ridiculous piece of crap you've ever...
I'm not being arrogant, it's just, it's just kind of a fact. For a long time I made a career from my looks, so I get it, I'm a pretty girl. And not in a "from a certain angle" way, in an obvious way. It's the blonde thing and the big boobs thing, big boobs are a key to obvious pretty if you know what I'm saying. It's how men see me. I'm not a smart girl or an interesting girl, I'm a pretty girl. The blonde and the boobs, it confuses guys into thinking that I'm someone else. And I'm used to it. And I'm used to them walking away when they realize... but then Denny goes and asks me to marry him. He doesn't make me feel like I'm a pretty girl. He makes me feel like, like me. I think he might know me. And so, if I did cut the LVAD wire, and I'm not saying that I did, but if I did, then no, I don't feel guilty. And I know that I should. And I would if it were anybody else's. But I can't feel anything but happy.
Well, I'm giving you an out. You thought you were dying and I was saving your life and well, you know, it was so..
They’re married, she took a vow. You don’t mess with vows. Married is married. Game over. It’s so freaking over.
If they’re going to get violent, they’ll probably do it themselves.
We can't get married. I mean that would be insane. We should date, and have sex. Plenty of sex. You know when your heart gets better and you're out of the hospital, all the sex you can handle. But marriage is, um, marriage...
I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. Like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast and I just wanna go back to when things were normal. When I wasn't "Poor Izzie" laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her dead fiancée. But I am. Because I can’t and I’m just stuck. And there is all this pressure cause everyone is hovering around me waiting for me to do something. Or say something, or flip out, or yell and cry some more and I'm happy to play my part. I'm happy to say the lines and do whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing if it will make everyone feel more comfortable. But I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be this person. I don't know who this person is.
I hate the bride thing. I hate the pictures in the magazine with the girl, with the veil, and the flowers that she’s sniffing. Like it never occurred to her to stick her nose in there and there’s a camera pointed at her. I hate the idea of bridesmaid and the colors. And does the bustle make my ass look bigger or smaller. I hate those things. I never wanted to be that girl who’s stupid, shallow. Why the hell is that girl still running through my head?
I am an optimist. I am hopeful. I am not sure. Because I’m your best friend and because I love you. If what you want is to be with Callie, then I will do everything in my power to support you and help you make your marriage work. Because I’m your best friend. Because I love you. I also have to say that I’m in love with you. I’m in love with you. I can’t promise the future. I can’t promise the imperfection because we’re us and I’m me, or what will happen. But in my heart, I am sure. I’m in love with you, George and I hope that you’re in love with me, too.
McDreamy’s sister is McBitchy.
There’s a third option you know. Take your chances, get cancer, and fight like hell to survive.
You understand? Really? Did you cut someone’s LVAD wire, fell in love with a man, and then he died? How in the hell could you possibly know.
Izzie and Alex have a patient that only speaks about himself in the third person.
Izzie isn't either. Last week, Izzie was digging through crap, this week she's fondling man boobs. No decanulating hearts for Izzie!
Izzie thinks this whole bright and shiny thing is getting old.
Dude, she went all cage fighter on you!
I ate everything out of the fridge last night including a tub of butter. There's no judgment here.
I couldn’t cut off my ovaries and breasts just because I might have cancer.
People are what matters? You don’t like people. Is this about your mother?
You give me the ‘people is what matter’ thing again, I will kill you.
Whoever it is is from Stanford. Because everyone at Stanford just loved Cristina.
I know people die. People die in front of us every day, but I believe Meredith will survive this. I believe. I believe in the good. I believe that it’s been a hell of a year. I believe that in the face of overwhelming and instant contrary we will all be okay. I believe a lot of things. I believe that Denny is always with me. And I believe that if I eat a tub of butter and no one sees me, the calories don’t count. And I believe that surgeons who prefer staples over stitches are just lazy. And I believe that you are a man who made a terrible mistake marrying Callie. And I believe it because I’m your best friend, I can tell you this and we’ll be okay. I believe that even though you made this mistake, you will be okay. I believe we survive, George. I believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive.
And I believe that you are a man who made a terrible mistake marrying Callie. And I believe that because I am your best friend, I can tell you this and we can be okay. I believe that even though you made this mistake, you will be okay. I believe we survive, George. I believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive.
Messing up. It's what makes a person. It's how we learn, where we find joy. And the things you don't plan for are things you never see coming.
I had sex last night. With the wrong person. But the thing is, it didn't feel wrong; at the time. It felt like; something was falling into place. So what do I do?
God got a virgin pregnant by magic. God is not playing by the rules.
Yeah, yeah. You should have said something or you know, banged on the wall.
My problem is you. You're my penis fish.
You've crawled in, and latched on. And now I can't move, or talk, or think, or even pee without the nagging feeling that something is eating through my organs.
You guys are just used to it, that’s all. You already have it. You have that thing everybody else wants. You can take it for granted. Let me tell you, if you didn’t, if you couldn’t be with the person that you love, I guarantee that hearing him promise to love you and honor you and cherish you no matter what, it would be pretty much all you would think about.
I know you didn't wake up today expecting this was how your first day was going to go. You thought you would get to reattach an arm or observe brain surgery. Instead you helped save the life of a deer. You can bitch and complain about it or you can adjust your expectations. Cause like it or not you're stuck with me and I'm the kind of doctor who lets a little kid convince her she can do the impossible. Oh plus when I woke up this morning I thought today was going to go a lot differently too. I thought I was going to get the good interns. Instead I get stuck with the duds. So I have to adjust my expectations as well.
You’re too busy screwing nurses to talk.
Trauma protocol, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run. That's rule number two… You're supposed to follow me.
Okay I have an old guy trying to kill himself. So I don't have time for you two and your fake drama.
Did you just quote Gandhi to me?
Meredith, if you can’t make this right. If you can’t fix this with George, just so you know, when it comes to choosing sides, I’m on his.
I can feel you. I can smell you. If you're dead, how come I can smell your skin? So I'm thinking, maybe you're not dead. Maybe that was the part of me that was crazy, that part that thought you died. Maybe this is the not crazy part. You are still alive, right? That's it.
It’s basically a slumber party. They do it outside, we do it inside.
I tie. Sidney is my peer counselor. ‘Heal with love’ Sidney.
I would rather sift through feces than talk to you.
I am! I am. Scientists believe what they can see, what they can feel... Facts. Hard facts. I slapped you. That is a fact. I felt... your face my hand. Fact. I can feel your breath against my skin. Fact.
In the choice between heaven and hell, I choose heaven. I choose life. Go. Get out of here! Go out get of here! Go.
This is who I was. It has nothing to do with who I am now. I'm a physician. A surgeon! And I am just as qualified as any other intern on this floor. So you're just going to have to get over your chauvinist crap and allow me to do my job.
No, you told me the most important thing is giving the patient what they want. What Humphrey wants is his erection.
What self-respecting surgeon wears salmon-colored scrubs?
If you think that this means I respect you, if you want me to respect you, you have to do something worth respecting.
Stop talking about me. I am fine. I’m cleaning out my locker and going home. Mer is the one with the problems.
If that skirt didn't have a big pair of bouncing boobs attached to it, you'd stop looking.
Miracles happen. Medical miracles happen every day. People live.
You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?
You can do it, but I don't wanna end up a vegetable.
Where your eyes are supposed to be right now, I see white sandy beaches. And there's an ocean behind your head, and there are ghosts wandering in and out. I can't live like this, and I cant live if something goes wrong in that surgery I don't want any extraordinary measures taken to keep me alive. It's not what I want. I went crazy when Denny signed the DNR because I didn't understand. I didn't understand but now I do, and I need you to understand. I don't want you to go crazy, I want you to have a brilliant career, and I hope that I get to be here for that. But, if I can't I just wanna go to the other side. I don't know what's there but it's gotta be better than hospital beds and tubes down my throat. So please, please don't cut LVAD's. Just if it comes down to it, just let me go. And right now, kiss me. Please, please just kiss me and close your eyes because the beach is so distracting.
Well, I'll tell you. I know I'm supposed to be grateful for my "new lease on life". Alex marched in here and basically told me that being married to me was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Yeah, and that he was trying to decide whether smothering me with a pillow was the best way of putting us both out of our misery.
As doctors we keep secret. We keep secrets because we have to. But not all secrets can be kept.
Take your chances, get cancer, and fight like hell to survive.
You think you know someone, know who they are, share a house, make wishes on eyelashes with them. And we don't know each other, none of us, we're just a bunch of interns that work together. There's nothing there.
Why is her urine blue?
Nobody gets it right with their own family.
I’m sorry. We were friends. You were my boss but I think we were friends, too. And I never meant for anyone to get hurt. And I know there is nothing I can do to take it back.
We work eighteen hours a day. Six days a week. Fifty weeks a year. We don't really have time for our families, we don't have friends that aren't doctors. But we have this one day, one day where we get to be like everybody else, one day to be normal, one day where nobody loses and nobody dies on our watch. It's like a gift. So I just thought we should appreciate it, that's all.
That's not a dog. That's a hyena, escaped from the zoo, dressed in dog clothing.
Vicious, hyper-devil mutt is available. And will pee on the bed.
Congratulations. You are not an idiot. Except when you’re being an idiot.
Cheyenne is smart. She's smart and she's thoughtful and she can have more. She can have more than a trailer park and a graveyard shift at a truck stop diner. Don't you want that for her? I mean if you can get past the fact that I'm superior and that I'm judging you and that I'm telling you what's best for your family. If you can just get past all of that, isn't it possible that I'm also right?
I'm her mother but I'm not her mom. Look um I know that where we come from this kind of thing doesn't get talked about but I wanted you to know that there's more than one way to be a good mother. I wanted, I wanted better for her than I could do at sixteen.
If you're gonna clog up the toilet you've got to be willing to use a plunger. Otherwise we're gonna make you crap in the backyard.
You have to go to work. You're an intern. Saving lives is not optional.
Alex I gave you your chance. You had your chance and you slept with someone else. I forgave you in the spirit of being a bigger person. Of rising above but these legs are closed to you now. The panties are staying on. So you and me? Never gonna happen.
I'm being a doer. Getting while the getting's good. Now take off your pants.
How can someone be so offensive and yet so charming all at the same time?
Alex. I haven't had sex in 8 months and 12 days. I'm horny, I'm half-naked and saying yes. You wanna stand there and talk metaphors or do you wanna literally take of your pants!
Okay, do not even talk to me about standards. The girl can’t even wash her hands.
It’s stupid dancing, friggin’ bobbsey twins. Stupid!
Am I supposed to move on now? Do people look at me and go, she’s gotta get over it, it’s ruining her life?
He’s in George’s room and when George’s marriage crashes and burns and he wants to move back in, he won’t be able to. His life will be in the shambles, he’ll finally notice that his dad is dead, and that he made a fool out of himself by marrying someone he doesn’t really love and he’ll have no place to go. Is that what you want?
I'm in love with this incredible guy and we're having problems. And my best friend, he would know what to say to me about it. I need to be able to talk to my best friend. I cannot get through this without my best friend.
Let me speak, because I am your best friend, and because I love you. If what you want is to be with Callie, then I will do everything in my power to help you make your marriage work, but because I am your best friend, and because I love you...I also have to say that I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you, and I hope you’re in love with me, too...say something.
Get up. I mean it. Get up! Now go get a life. George was a surgeon, he had a purpose. He wanted to save lives and now he doesn’t get the chance. Now he doesn’t get the chance to do anything anymore but you do. You could go to medical school. You could hang out with your freaking friends. I don’t care what you do; just go do something with your life. Because you have one. You lived, you lived and George didn’t. And I know, I know that that feels horrible and shocking and terrifying, but you lived. So go live your freaking life. But God, have enough respect for George to figure it out. If I see you sitting on this bench again, I will kick your ass from here to Sunday.
Be my husband. Get undressed, get into bed and hold me. I don't know what you're so mad about and I don't know what you're scared of because you won't talk to me. But I'm scared, too, Alex, and I can't if you won't, if we're gonna have any chance at a life together, then I need you to... please.
Where were you when he needed you? Because I was there. I was there the whole time. I was working 80 hour weeks and I was still always there. He had so many surgeries, so many procedures, he was so scared. Where were you then? Where were you? You might not get me but you don’t have to because I don’t get you either. I don’t get how a father abandons his dying son.
Cause this being a decent guy and a selfish jerk the next is getting really old. Who’s it going to be? So pick one.
God forbid we call them animals.
It’s like a bouquet of corpses.
I love you. I’ll always love you. So even though you’ll be gone, but you will never be forgotten by me.
I think you and the pig murderer would make a great couple.
He trusted you to be his ‘shepherd.’
Parental disappointment ends with a medical degree.
This so beats tampon training.
You are the one that got me fired. You owe me this you little bitch. Unless you want me that snotty Reed, what’s her name? And tell her how much you love her, because I will.
You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The day you think are going to be big ones, they’re never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It’s the regular days, the ones that start out normal; those are the days that end up being the biggest. And today was the wedding. It was beautiful. Perfect.
I’m trying to save Bambi’s life. My interns think I’m a loser.
It’s not childish to hold onto hope. It’s actually hard, very hard. Your son just wants to believe that some things can work out for the best.
I know you didn’t wake up this morning expecting this was how your first day was gonna go. You thought you’d get to reattach an arm or observe brain surgery; instead you helped save a life of a deer. You can bitch and complain about it or you could adjust your expectations. ‘Cause like it or not, you’re stuck with me. And I’m the kind of doctor that lets a little kid convince her she can do the impossible. Oh plus, when I woke up today I thought it was going to go a lot differently too. I thought I was going to get the good interns; instead I get stuck with the duds. So I have to adjust my expectations as well.
just because people do horrible things doesn’t mean they’re horrible people.
Some things are worth fighting for.
I’m just saying, I learned how to fight in the trailer park. Where did she learn to fight? Boarding school? Not quite the same thing.
I’m a street fighter. I have some bad ass in me. I can take a girl down.
Meredith put her mom in a baggy and brought her to work.
Hot perfect sex requires shaved legs.
I think a patient feels better if they know their kids are terrified. I think they’re more likely to pull their surgery if they know that their wives are not panicked. I think those things matter.
You’re right Cristina, in the contest to see who can be the best robot, you win.
I don’t need guys. I don’t need sex because this competition is my work-gasm. Cristina, would you focus. It’s so much more fun kicking your ass when you focus.
Great doctors have that extra instinct, George. They just know. I have to have that instinct George. My instincts lately, very bad. Really bad. They told me to go to cardio. They told me to have sex with a married man. They are not serving me well. I am in danger of going extinct here if this keeps up. And I’m going to win this contest for no other reason that I have to win it!
I’m a little worried about my friend Alex here because his Jane Doe girlfriend keeps showing up like something out of Fatal Attraction.
You’re not pregnant first of all, and Alex is turning his life upside down to be your baby daddy and I can’t tell him because of confidentiality. So yeah, I’m upset.
What do you prefer Meredith, chocolate cake or an STD?
If you see Karev, get an 18 gage needle and shove it in his throat.
Give me back my surgery or I'll shoot your ass off!
People are terrible to the people they love sometimes. They're mean. You were both having a hard time and you took it out on each other. It doesn't make you the worst wife in the world. It just makes you a person who made a mistake.
You can't blame yourself. Some people are just broken. I guess you just try not to care too much and you can't be disappointed.
Owen Hunt is murdering sadistic bastard. He’s stabbing pigs, defenseless pigs. Or as he likes to call it, live tissue because God forbid you should call them animals.
I’m saying this to you as my roommate and not my attending. You disgust me.
It’s like a bouquet of corpses.
If you die, she will not get over it. She will not move on. She will think she can. But she will not be able to move on.
They’re all silent rage-y.
Stars and exes, dude. We’re pickin’ wishes.
I think it’s nice. Your date. I think you and the pig murderer will make a nice couple.
You only get to do a first date once. It should be fun and sexy and oh! Ask really good questions. Ask him why he wants to save lives. Ask him what his best surgery ever was.
You are like the guy that graduated from high school and still hangs out on the football field.
I can feel you. I can smell you. If you’re dead how come I can smell you skin. So I’m thinking, maybe you’re not dead. Maybe that was the part of me that was crazy, the part that thought you died, this is the not crazy part. You’re still alive, right? That’s it. Are you a ghost or a dream?
Scientist believe what they can see, what they can feel. Facts. Hard facts. I slapped you, that is a fact. I felt your face on my hand, fact. I can feel your breath against my skin, fact.
Miracles happen. Medical miracles happen every day. People live even when they shouldn’t, they live.
In the choice between heaven and hell, I choose heaven. I choose life.
The interns are broken. They’ve been punished for taking out their own appendixes and it’s making them hate medicine. They’re lost right now and they’ve forgotten that this thing they hate is actually a thing they love. So, I’m going to remind them.
You losers really think you’re capable of holding someone’s life in your hands when you can barely finish the intern bowl.
Dr. Bailey is an ass. Say that she doesn’t listen to the patients when they have important information about the interns.
You’re unmotivated, careless, selfish, distractive, and pretty much the people in this hospital I wouldn’t trust with my life. But that’s the way it’s supposed to be, you’re interns. You’re babies. And you’re all lucky to work here. We’re all lucky because we get to save lives. Every day we get to save lives. That’s what we do, that’s our job. It’s not something a lot of people get to do.
She is not fine! She had hallucinations. She had visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations about her dead fiancé. She thought she could talk to him and touch him. She’s not fine. You’re missing something. You’re not looking in the right place. Go back and figure out what you’re missing.
You think that every time you diagnose a patient, hand someone a death sentence, there’s a prize? The prize is you didn’t screw it up this time. The prize is you people actually did something right. The prize is you were doctors today. You were doctors, that is the prize!
They’re all doctors. Their patients shouldn’t suffer just because I have things growing on my organs.
I love you mom. I love you so much, but we do better loving each other from a distance.
You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be big ones; they’re never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It’s the regular days, the ones that start out normal; those are the days that end up being the biggest. Today is the wedding. It was beautiful. Perfect.
You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. the day you commit to the something or someone, the day you get your heart broken, the day you meet your soulmate, the day you realize there’s not enough time, because you want to live forever. Those are the biggest days, the perfect days. You know, it was a beautiful day.
I’m so sorry. George is dead. He’s dead, they’re about to put him in the ground and the priest is doing classic rock lyrics and that girl, that redhead is crying harder than his mother. And she never even met him. And you got married on a post-it. And I got cancer, what!?
I had a five percent chance of survival. I have incurable cancer but I am living with it. And the only reason I am, the only reason I’m standing here right now is because no one ever said to me, we’ve done everything we can do. I’m alive right now because people have fought for me. Cristina fought for me. He deserves the chance to fight. If he doesn’t want it, fine, I will shut up, but he deserves a chance.
Because it’s crazy. Surgery, it’s just a job. It’s the thing you come home from, not the thing you come home to, and if you lose your job, you get another one. Cause there’s always another one. If you love, if you think you’re losing your love, then suddenly nothing else matters.
