DEREK: "This whole day’s just been... there’s something wrong with Meredith. I tried to ask her what’s wrong, and she says nothing. She tries to drown herself in the tub.

MEREDITH: "I'm a surgeon. I do the rescuing. You are not my knight in shining whatever."
DEREK: "So we're gonna fight because I pulled you out of the tub."
MEREDITH: "You have a place. You could sleep at it. And then you don't have to pull me out of the bathtub. You're everywhere, all the time, saying things."
DEREK: "This is the happy ever after part. And in the happily ever after, the guy is there all the time, saying things and the girls love it!"
MEREDITH: "Go to work, I'll see you there."
DEREK: "And just for the record? I am your knight in shining whatever."

MEREDITH: "Gone! And everything's back to normal, it's not a big deal."
DEREK: "Yeah, except she's having heart surgery today."
MEREDITH: [sighs]
DEREK: "Hey. Do you want me to talk to the Chief? I know you have the Triage thing today, but he'll give you the day off."
MEREDITH: "Stop. I do not need rescuing."
DEREK: "You would've drowned in the bathtub had I not been there."

ELLIS: "You're what happened to her."
DEREK: "I'm sorry."
ELLIS: "I thought you were here for me. To offer me some hope. To tell me about some new treatment, but you're here for her."
DEREK: "Dr. Grey."
ELLIS: "An attending, a neurosurgeon. No wonder she's so unfocused."
DEREK: "I don't think you understand."
ELLIS: "I understand. I understand perfectly. I've seen men like you before, threatened by a woman who's their equal. You just want someone to admire you. You don't care about the damage you do to her along the way."

ELLIS: "What about a functional MRI now, while I'm lucid?"
DEREK: "An MRI's not going to show us anything. No test is gonna help us understand what's going on."
ELLIS: "So in five years, you've made no advances and there is nothing else you can do for me. I don't know how you do it. Day-in and day-out, you're with people with this awful disease."
DEREK: "Oh. I... See, actually, I'm not a Alzheimer's specialist. I just took a special interest in this case because of Meredith."
