Rose: I think I liked it better when you were saying boring science stuff.
Derek: I'm never good enough... no matter what I say or what I do. I never wanted to do this. This clinical trial is making me a failure. I fail her over and over... and over.
Rose: You mean them... when you say fail her, you mean... fail them, the patients. [Rose leaves the room]

Meredith: [standing in a candle-lit outline of a house] Stupid, corny, idiotic, I cannot believe I did this. Stupid, loser, son of a ... I could be at home instead of ... stupid brain man...
Derek: Meredith....
Meredith: Where have you been?! I've been waiting and waiting for you! And I did this stupid, embarrassing, humiliating, corny thing. And I was just gonna tell you that, this over here is our kitchen and this is our living room, and over there that's the room where our kids could play. I had this whole thing about I was gonna build us a house, but I don't build houses because I'm a surgeon! And now I'm here feeling like a lame ass loser. I got all whole and healed and you don't show up. And now it's all ruined because you took so long to come home! And I couldn't even find that bottle of champagne [Derek holds up the bottle, shows it to her and smiles]
Derek: This the kitchen? Living room? --a little small. I think the view's much better from here. And that's where the kids are going to play? Where's our bedroom?
Meredith: I'm still mad at you and I don't know if I trust you, I wanna trust you, but I don't know if I do. So I'm just gonna try, I'm gonna try and trust you. Because I believe that, we can be extraordinary together rather than ordinary apart and I wanna be ...[They kiss]
Derek: I have to go.
Meredith: What?
Derek: In order to kiss you the way I wanna kiss you and in order to do more than kiss you I need to speak to Rose. I want my conscience clear so I can do more than kiss you. Stay here, don't move, wait for me.

Adele: Richard?
Chief: I want to come home.
Adele: Richard...
Richard: I'm a good man. I'm a good man. I've spent my days being a good man for the hospital, for my residents, for my patients, I'm a good man who made one mistake with a woman twenty years ago. And I'm a good man for everybody except you I know that. Would you think I don't know that. But I'm a good man. And I'm your husband. And I love you. Now I am not asking you to come home. I'm telling you. I am your husband. And I want to come home to my wife.
[Richard stops for a moment, with a sense of resignation begins to turn]
Adele: You know... It's about time.
[They kiss]

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] We all remember the bed time stories of our childhoods. The shoe fits Cinderella, the frog turns into a prince, sleeping beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales, the stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don't come true. It's the other stories, the ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. It's the nightmares that always seem to become reality. - The person that invented the phrase "Happily ever after" should have his ass kicked, so hard!!

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Bailey: I have a dream, Yang... That one day a trauma, will come through these doors.... I have a dream.
Cristina: I share that dream.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: Okay, I built the house of candles, that is unprecedented in the Meredith chronicles.
Derek: Fine, let's move in together.
Meredith: Fine.
Derek: Unless of course you just wanna go ahead and get married .... AHA! Gotcha! You wanna know where I learned that? It goes with the story of how I cut my hand.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: And then you know what's gonna happen after he moves in don't you? We build a house on his land, which will be OUR land because we'll be married. And then I'll be Dr. Mrs. Shepherd. And you know what comes after that don't you? Babies. They'll be his babies so they'll have perfect hair, and they'll be chatty. So I'll have five chatty children, a chatty husband, and live in a house in the wilderness. And then I'll start sleeping with your husband. I gotta tell him I've changed my mind. Don't you think?
Cristina: MEREDITH!

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith[voiceover]: Once upon a time, happier ever after. The stories we tell are the stuff of dreams. Fairy tales don't come true. Reality is much stormier. Much murkier. Much scarier. Reality it’s so much more interesting than living happily ever after.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] As surgeons we are trained to fix what’s broken. The breaking point is our starting line... at work. But in our lives the breaking point is a sign of weakness and we’ll do everything we can to avoid it.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Izzie: Eat the muffin, Mer. Taste the muffin. Remember. The muffin.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: My patient's dying. I hate when I like them and they're dying.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Dr. Wyatt: Yes. Horrible things DO happen. Happiness in the face of all of that? That's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you’re not gonna die from those feelings...that’s the point.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] Bones break. Organs burst. Flesh tears. We can sew the flesh, repair the damage, ease the pain. But when life breaks down...when we break down...there’s no science. No hard and fast rules. We just have to feel our way through. And to a surgeon there’s nothing worse, and there’s nothing better.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] In 6500 BC, some guy looked at his friend and said "Let's drill a hole in your head... that will make you feel better." And thus surgery was born. It takes a certain brand of crazy to think of drilling into someone's skull, but surgeons have always been a confident bunch. We don't always know what we're doing, but we act like we do. We walk into a country, plant a flag and start ordering people around. It's invigorating and terrifying.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] I am a rock. I am an island. That's the mantra to pretty much every surgeon that I've ever met. We like to think we're independent. Loners. Mavericks. That all we need to do our jobs is an OR, a scalpel, and a willing body...But the truth is, not even the best of us can do it alone. Surgery, like life, is a team sport...and eventually, you've gotta get off the bench and decide... which team are you batting for.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Izzie: 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.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Bailey: We're ready for you, Grey.
Meredith: Walking with the kidney... : [she drops kidney]
Bailey: 5 second rule! 5 second rule!

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Chief: What are you people doing?
Izzie: We were just uh, just deciding which of our interns to give to George.
Cristina: Uh huh.
Bailey: 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... down right depressing, and [to Cristina] you, Yang, you're just annoying. Choosing their own interns! What are...
Chief: Give me those damn cards. [hands cards to George] O'Malley, you have interns.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] The thing about choosing teams in real life.. It's nothing like it used to be in gym class.. being 1st picked can be terrifying And being chosen last...isn't the worst thing in the world. So we watch from the sidelines...clinging to our isolation...because we know as soon as we let go of the bench...someone comes along and changes the game completely....

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] For a surgeon, every patient is a battlefield. They're our terrain. Where we advance, retreat, try to remove all the landmines...And just when you think you've won the battle, made the world safe again. Along comes another landmine...

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] Some wars result in complete and total victory. Some wars end with a peace offering. And some wars end in hope...But all these wars are nothing compared to the most frightening war of all. The one you have yet to fight.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Bailey: [talking to Tucker on the phone] No, no, Tuck. I did not say I won't do the marriage counseling. I'm saying I can't do it in the morning again. I'm 20 minutes late for work. Okay, I'll see you tonight.
Derek: Marriage Counseling. How's that going?
Bailey: You just heard us arguin about the marriage counseling. How do you think it's going?

[Derek gets in the elevator, Mark is there]
Derek: I need you to have sex with Cristina Yang.
Mark: Well Good morning.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Mark: I'm not your stud horse. You can't just...tell me who to sleep
Derek: You slept with my wife.
[elevator dings]
Mark: Yeah, I'll give it a shot

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Hahn: I went to the Chief about Izzie Stevens and he completely shut me down. Well, we'll see what he says when I report this to UNOS.
Callie: Wait, what? Why? What good would come of that?
Erica: What do you mean?
Callie: What possible good would that do? Would it affect your patient's outcome?
Erica: My patient wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her!
Callie: So you're going to report this to UNOS and cost this hospital its transplant certification? Cost its patients organs? Cost people their jobs? Cost Izzie Stevens her career ...
Erica: Wait, so you're taking Izzie Stevens' side in this? Over mine?
Callie: She's a doctor. She's one of our doctors. There's a reason we have each other's backs, Erica.
Erica: Please, don't talk to me about a code. Because this is not that.
Callie: No, this is that. Look, I don't know what happened between Denny Duquette and Izzie Stevens that night, but unless you were in the middle of that situation, I don't see how you can make a judgment.
Erica: Easy. There's right, and there's wrong. And this, was wrong. And illegal. There is no gray area here. You can't kind of think this is okay. You can't kind of side with Izzie Stevens. And you can't be kind of a lesbian.
Callie: Yes, I can.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Cristina: The wife's here, of the beating victim. She ID'd her husband, so I-
Owen: What's his name? I was wondering if you found out his name so that he would become a person to you. They're all people, you know. This is not a game or a competition, who gets surgeries and who doesn't. They're people and we get to save them. Now you're good. You're excellent and you can win all the contests. But if that's why you're doing this then you shouldn't be. Did you find out his name?
Cristina: My dad died when I was nine. In a car accident, I was with him in the car. While we waited for the ambulance, I tried to keep his chest closed, so he wouldn't bleed so much. When he died, my hands felt his heart stop beating. That's why I do this. It's also why I win all the contests. The patient's name is Tom. [leaves]
Owen: Single malt scotch.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] We're born, we live, we die... sometimes not necessarily in that order. We put things to rest, only to have them rise up again. So if death is not the end, what can we count on anymore? Because you sure can't cound on anything in life. Life is the most fragile, unstable, unpredictable thing there is. In fact, theres only one thing in life we can be sure of. It ain't over, till it's over.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Denny: [voiceover] Heaven, hell, limbo, no one really knows where we’re going or what’s waiting for us when we get there. But the one thing we can say for sure, with absolute certainty, that’s there are moments that take us to another place, moments of heaven on earth. And maybe for now, that’s all we need to know.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Izzie: I said goodbye. I burned the sweater!
Denny: Yeah, thanks for that, by the way. I loved that sweater. You made me that sweater.
Denny: Izzie... stop freaking out.
Izzie: You're not real. You're not real.
Denny: Hey, I told you.
Izzie: You're not real! You're not real! You're not real!
Denny: Look at me. Touch me. : [Izzie touches Denny's chest] See? Told you I was real.
