Grey's Anatomy Quote
Alex: So this whole lying thing, this is working out for you?
Mom with Cancer: Excuse me?
Alex: Look, you're going to die and soon. You get that, right? There's no rosy picture to paint here.
Mom with Cancer: You're not a mother. You don't know what its like to hold your newborn baby in your arms and smell the top of her head. And know your only job in the world is to protect her.
Alex: You think you're protecting her
Mom with Cancer: I am protecting her.
Alex: Well, I guess you can call it what you want. But you should just know you're leaving behind a kid that will probably hate you for the rest of her life.
Burke: Ahem... Dr. Karev.
Alex: No, I'm talking this time.
Burke: Excuse me?
Alex: I tell the truth. It’s what I do. It doesn't make me a bad doctor. Everyone walks around this place lying. Look we tell a patient that’s dying that there's hope when there is no hope. Maybe I'm a pig, maybe I'm an ass, and maybe I'm a vermin like everybody 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.
