Grey's Anatomy Quotes
Meredith: There’s a line, between friends and not friends. And if I tell you this, if I tell you this horrible thing, then you have to react as my friend. Not as my not friend.
Derek: I can do that. Alright, tell me what’s wrong, I'll tell you how to fix it.
Meredith: OK, are you ready?
Derek: I’m ready.
Meredith: Ugh... I slept with George... and it was a horrible mistake and now everything has changed and I don’t know how to repair it. I don’t even know where to start, but I just know that I have to and... Say something friendly.
Derek: You tell him that. You find George and you apologize.
Meredith: That’s what everyone’s saying, but he won't listen.
Derek: Tell him again. You tell him you’re sorry. Just tell him again and again and again until he listens.

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [to George, in the elevator] You’re trapped. And you don’t have to talk; I’ll do the talking. George, I am truly, very, deeply sorry. And I’m not going to make excuses, I’m just sorry. Look I know you’re going to get off this elevator and walk away and not look back. But George, we're friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll still be here.
TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] As doctors, as friends, as human beings, we all try to do the best we can. But the world is full of unexpected twists and turns. And just when you’ve gotten the lay of the land, the ground underneath you shifts. And knocks you off your feet. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up with nothing more than a flesh wound, something a band-aid will cover. But, some wounds are deeper than they first appear and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip off the band-aid, let them breathe, and give them time to heal.
TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] My college campus has a magic statue. It’s a longstanding tradition for students to rub its nose for good luck. My freshman roommate really believed in the statue's power and insisted on visiting it to rub its nose before every exam. Studying might have been a better idea, she flunked out her sophomore year. The fact is, we all have little superstitious things we do. If it’s not believing in magic statues, it’s avoiding sidewalk cracks or always putting our left shoe on first. Knock on wood. Step on a crack, break your mothers back. The last thing we want to do is offend the gods.

Derek: Ah! Juju.
Addison: Yep
Derek: You juju'ed Meredith.
Addison: I did, in the spirit of friendship.
Derek: Hmmm.
Addison: What, are we not being friends with Meredith anymore?
Derek: No, no, we are. Meredith and I are friends.
Addison: And you and I are married. So by proxy, Meredith and I are friends.
Derek: That’s very big of you.
Addison: Yeah.
Derek: You don’t have to do that. It’s not like I'm going to be friends with...let's say... Mark.
Addison: Yeah, well, neither am I. Now finish your juju before somebody else dies.
Addison: Yep
Derek: You juju'ed Meredith.
Addison: I did, in the spirit of friendship.
Derek: Hmmm.
Addison: What, are we not being friends with Meredith anymore?
Derek: No, no, we are. Meredith and I are friends.

Cristina: Great. No blood, no guts, no lives to save. It's dead quiet.
Bailey: Uh, did you really just say that?
Izzie: Cristina!
Cristina: What?
George: You said the "q" word.
Izzie: That's like saying Macbeth in the theatre.
Cristina: Please. You think because someone says its quiet that'll mean---
[All hell breaks loose]
Cristina: Can anyone spell coincidence?
Bailey: Uh, did you really just say that?

George: [to Callie] Hi. I didn’t call. I should have called. I just... [She walks off]
[He open his cell phone and calls her]
George: This is George O'Malley calling, you gave me your phone number. I know I should have called sooner, but I'm calling now and I just wanted to know if maybe you wanted to go out with me sometime. Because... I love to watch you set bones and I rarely spend that much time in a woman's restroom and I really like you. So... is that a yes? [She nods]

Meredith: [voiceover] Superstition lies in the space between what we can control and what we can't. Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck. No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck. But does saying it thirty three times really help? Is anyone really listening? And if no ones listening, why do we bother doing those strange things. We rely on superstitions because we're smart enough to know we don't have all the answers. And that life works in mysterious ways. Don't diss the juju, from wherever it comes.
TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] A good basketball game can have us all on the edge of our seats. Games are all about the glory, pain and the play by play. And then there are the more solitary games. The games we play all by ourselves. The social games, the mind games. We use them to pass the time to make life more interesting... to distract us from what's really going on. There are those of us who love to play games, any games. And there are those of us who love to play a little too much.

Derek: What'd you do piss off the Chief?
Bailey: Yeah, I pissed off the Chief. I had a baby. I gave birth. I created a human life. I'm a surgeon, we don’t do that. He's Mommy-tracking me.
Derek: He's just going easy on you.
Bailey: No, I change diapers. I...I clean spit up. I sing the ABCs, I am covered in mommy. But that does NOT mean I will be mommy-tracked.
Derek: You're freaking out.
Bailey: I just need a surgery, I need a surgery now. So for today, I'm your intern. I have not begun to freak out.
Derek: Alright, come on.
Bailey: Yeah, I pissed off the Chief. I had a baby. I gave birth. I created a human life. I'm a surgeon, we don’t do that. He's Mommy-tracking me.

Izzie: So George? He's really, really your type, huh?
Callie: You don't see him. Either of you. He's just, he's just George to you. He's ... he's just O'Malley, your roommate.
Izzie: You don't have to get all...
Callie: He makes my world stop. George O'Malley is sweet and kind and smart and strong. And he makes my world stop. So you shut up about him. Don't forget to clean it up, when you're done smashing.
Izzie: Holy crap...George is her McDreamy.
Callie: You don't see him. Either of you. He's just, he's just George to you. He's ... he's just O'Malley, your roommate.

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.

Meredith: [voiceover] Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose, or draw, the game is on. So go ahead... argue with the ref, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play. Play. Play hard, play fast... play loose and free. Play as if there's no tomorrow. Okay, so it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game... right?
TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] The key to being a successful intern is what we give up: sleep, friends, a normal life. We sacrifice it all for that one amazing moment, that moment when you can legally call yourself a surgeon. There are days that make the sacrifices seem worthwhile. And then there are the days where everything feels like a sacrifice. And then there are the sacrifices that you can’t even figure out why you're making.

Addison: Thanks.
Derek: [laughs] You're thanking me for the most boring sex ever!?
Addison: I didn't know what else to say. And you did your best.
Derek: [sarcastically] Ah, thanks. You too! That was really nice work...
Addison: We used to be really good at this!
Derek: Let's do this until we get it right. [Bump heads]
Both: Ah! Ow, jeez! [Phone rings]
Addison: Perfect. [Derek leans over to answer it]
Derek: Hello...Hi...Yeah, yeah—it's about Doc...No, I'm here...I can pick him up this morning...sure, bye!-- [Addison snatches the phone from him]
Addison: Dr. Dandridge, listen, we're gonna have to call you back because we're trying really hard to have some decent sex here— [flash to Meredith on the other end of the phone]

Meredith: Obviously I can't go out with him, right?
Alex: Do I look like a chick to you? Do I look like I care about yeast cream or tingling feelings? He's not on drugs or in jail or keeping' body parts in his basement. If you want to do 'em, do 'em.
Meredith: Not do him. Date him. I'm not doing anybody. I'm knitting.

Meredith: I know I don't know you very well.
Denny: You want to talk to me about Izzie.
Meredith: Yeah.
Denny: Cause you disapprove.
Meredith: No. This comes from nothing resembling a high horse. High horses want nothing to do with me. With you and Izzie, it's, there are strict rules about doctors dating patients.
Denny: You know Izzie pretty well, right? You think if I went to her and I said "Hey, you know, this is gonna be pretty bad for your career, you probably shouldn't come around and see me anymore." You think that will have any effect at all? The thing is, I was healthy my whole life till I wasn't. And the last year I've had a lot of time to lie around in bed and think about my life. And the things that I remember best... well, those are the things that I wasn't supposed to do and I did them anyway. See, the thing is, Meredith, life is too damned short to be following these rules.

Meredith [voiceover]: A wise man once said – “You can have anything in life if you’re willing to sacrifice everything else for it.” What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you’re willing to lose. Too often going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right. And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you’ve spent a lifetime building. Of course the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming. When we don’t have time to come up with a strategy to pick sides….or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us, and not the other way around, that’s when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.
TV Show: Grey's Anatomy
Meredith: [voiceover] We all go through life like bulls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people. The problem is trying to figure out how to control the damage we've done, or that's been done to us. Sometimes the damage catches us by surprise. Sometimes we think we can fix the damage. And sometimes the damage is something we can't even see.

Izzie: All I'm saying George, is that if she needs to pee she can at least wear a bra. Or maybe wait until she's alone. And for the love of everything sanitary, could she just wash her hands? She's a surgeon!
George: You guys were blocking the sink. Anyways, I think you're exaggerating.
Izzie: She peed! Naked peeing! Ask Meredith, Meredith? Oh that's right, I forgot, you're not talking to her. If you were, she would tell you that Callie crosses the line. So crossed the line. So freaking crossed.
Alex: Oh, we're still pretending that you're not seeing a patient, right?
Cristina: People! What's with all the evil misery? Huh? Live, and let live.
George: You're cheerful.
Cristina: Oh.
Izzie: You are. How is that possible?
Cristina: I scrubbed in on a four hour paraesophageal surgery last night, and then I got laid. And now three ambulances are coming in full of bloody broken car crash victims, all who need to be cut open. So I'm cheery, I'm cheery, I am so cheery! I'm cheery! I'm cheerful!

Derek: No, its fine, I'm glad I know about him, and the vet. You really get around.
Meredith: What did you just say to me?
Derek: It's unforgivable.
Meredith: I don't remember ever asking you to forgive me.
Derek: So was the knitting a phase? Who's next? Alex? 'Cause I hear he likes to sleep around. You two have that in common.
Meredith: [she grabs him as he turns to walk off] You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done. So all the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues, who cared, because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.

Finn: You're driving me crazy with the hovering.
Meredith: [sighs] This could be a mistake. This. Us. You, you, you’re a really nice guy and well, you're, you don't want to get involved with me. If you knew me.
Finn: Scary.
Meredith: Finn.
Finn: And damaged. See, I told you.
Meredith: If you knew me. If you knew my family. If I told you the guys that I've slept with lately. The scary and damaged may actually be more than you can handle.
Finn: My mother's dead. She got cancer when I was ten and she suffered for a really long time and then she died. And my father never recovered. Its kind of like he died with her, except that his body's above ground and permanently placed in front of a TV with a bottle of scotch in his lap. And the last woman I slept with was my wife, but she died too. It was a car crash so it was quick. She didn't suffer, which I appreciated. Don't worry, I'm thinking that my luck is beginning to change, because I met you. And you like dogs, and you enjoy pony births, and have the ability to save lives. I never said I wasn't scary and damaged too. [She kisses him]

Meredith: [voiceover] We're all damaged, it seems. Some of us, more than others. We carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grownups, we give as good as we get. Ultimately, we all do damage. And then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can.

Meredith: [voiceover] In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins. We all know the big ones... gluttony, pride, lust. But the thing you don't hear much about is anger. Maybe it's because we think anger is not that dangerous, that you can control it. My point is, maybe we don't give anger enough credit. Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all, when it comes to destructive behavior, it did make the top seven.

Izzie: Everyone who is entered into the transplant program is clocked in to the second... to the second, Denny, you were clocked in to 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 it, Denny. 17 seconds. I mean, that's 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 any more crap about heading towards the light or looking down on me from heaven, I swear, I will kill you myself right now. [Gasping a little]

Izzie: 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!

Addison: I want you to care. I sleep with your best friend, and you walk away. He comes out here from New York and rubs it in your face, and still you get a good night's sleep. What do I have to do? Oh, I know. Maybe what I should do is go out on a date with the vet because that seems to be something that sends you into a blind rage. Oh but wait, that won't work either because I'm not Meredith Grey!

Oh but wait, that won't work either because I'm not Meredith Grey!

Meredith: [voiceover] So what makes anger different from the six other deadly sins? It's pretty simple really, you give into a sin like envy or pride and you only hurt yourself. Try lust or coveting and you'll only hurt yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst... the mother of all sins... Not only can anger drive you over the edge, when it does you can take an awful lot of people with you.

George: [one on one meeting with the Chief] Aren't you gonna say anything or [pause] I'm not gonna break [pause] I'm starting to get a little freaked out, but I'm not gonna break. It’s not because I don't care, because I do care what you think about me, I do. Care. I just can't tell you want you want to hear. Which seems to be a theme in my life right now. Just because you can't say something doesn't mean you don't want to, you can want to very much. You can be with a person and be happy with them and not love them. And you can love somebody and not want to be with them. You don't need to love someone to want them. Now that's frustrating, when what your brain tells you you want and what you actually want don't match up. It’s exhausting. And, well, it’s complicated. But that's life. And life... sucks.
