DEREK: "Can I ask you a personal question? Why did you leave Meredith's mother?"
RICHARD: "I could have left Adele. I could have gone away with Ellis. But I would have had so much baggage, so much guilt. Ellis couldn't see it, but I wasn't... I would have never made her happy.

Season 3, Episode 3: "Sometimes a Fantasy"

MEREDITH: "Enough! This is not dating. I want moonlight, and flowers, and candy, and people trying to feel me up. Nobody is trying to feel me up. Nobody is even looking at me. I'm an intern, do the two of you have any idea how much effort it takes to do all this? I am waxed and plucked and I have a clean top on. And the two of you are looking at each other."
DEREK: "Meredith..."
MEREDITH: "No, my fantasy is not two men looking at each other."
FINN: "We didn't...."
MEREDITH: "No talking until one of you figures out how to put on a date. I want heat! I want romance! Damn it, I want to feel like a freaking lady!"
• Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

MEREDITH: "What exactly is going on here?"
DEREK: "He's crashing our date."
FINN: "Well, where do you think I got that idea?"
DEREK: "I didn't crash your date, it was professional."
FINN: "You can't operate without her?"
DEREK: "I certainly operate well with her."
