Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCFavorite Meredith Grey Quotes
Surgeons don't compromise. We defy death, we exceed perfection. We operate for seventeen hours straight if we have to. We aren't built to settle, but that doesn't mean we won't.
Meredith: Are you going to say goodbye to your fan club before you leave?
Alex: I've been saying bye to them all day.
Meredith: You make me sound like a soft drink.
Callie: Yeah, I'm reinvesting in myself.
 
Do you want me to start crying?

We're trained to be vigilant, to chase down the problem, to ask all the right questions, to find the root cause until we know exactly what it is and we confront it. It takes an extreme amount of caution or we can't overstep ourselves. We can create problems that don't exist.

DEREK: "Come on, have a drink."
MEREDITH: "I can't have a drink, I'm celibate."
JOE: "You mean sober? She means sober."
MEREDITH: "No, I mean celibate. I'm practicing celibacy. Drinking does not go well with celibacy because it makes everything and everyone seem kind of porn-y. Then my head gets all cloudy and the next thing you know I'm naked. My point is that I'm celibate, and knitting is good for surgical dexterity, so I'm making a sweater."
DEREK: "You? Celibate? I don't buy it."
MEREDITH: "No more men."
ADDISON: "No more men? Really? You? I'm just asking, because we're friends."
Meredith: Every guy I meet turns out to be married.

DEREK: "You're making a sweater."
MEREDITH: "I'm making a sweater."

MEREDITH: "You’re not pregnant again, are you? Because I can’t handle the extra months of bitchiness."
DEREK: "So we're kissing but we're not dating?"
MEREDITH: "I knew this was going to come up."
DEREK: "Don't get me wrong, I like the kissing. I'm all for the kissing. More kissing, I say!"
MEREDITH: "I have no idea what that was about."
DEREK: "Is it going to happen again? Let me know next time. I'll bring breath mints. Put a condom in my wallet."
MEREDITH: "Shut up. Now."
MEREDITH: "Lets play the game of whose life sucks the most. I'll win. I always win."
CRISTINA: "You don't want to play with me."
Meredith: "Oh yes, I do. I'll even go first. Derek is married, as in pig-headed adulterous liar married." [George spits out his beer]
CRISTINA: "George, you have beer... coming out of your nostrils..."

MEREDITH: "I've moved on, so don't give me that look."
DEREK: "What look?"
MEREDITH: "That look. Our look. I'm over you."
DEREK: "I'm over you, too."
MEREDITH: "You are?"
DEREK: "No."
MEREDITH: "Oh. Well, I am. Over you."
DEREK: "I'm over you too."
MEREDITH: "You just said... shut up." [smiles]
