Sadie: Wow... You know they've sucked the life right out of you. The Meredith I used to know...

Meredith: What happened?
Sadie: I quit. O'malley's a little narc. I'd rather be deemed a quitter than a cheater.
Meredith: Did you cheat your way into the program?
Sadie: I said I'm not book smart. You know that. I learn on my feet. I thought if I came to where you were, we... you could...
Meredith: Pull you through?
Sadie: We've seen each other through a lot.

Meredith: What's wrong with her?
Cristina: Well, she calls her Dad "Daddy."

Meredith: I didn't even know Addison had a brother. I mean, you'd think Derek would have said something at some point. Or sang something, while he played his guitar.
Cristina: Speak English.
Meredith: Well, Derek used to play the guitar.
Cristina: Oh. Owen's ex fiance is in the hospital. Mmm... his ex-fiance he never told me about.

Meredith: You know Addison's brother probably isn't going to make it. His cysts are inoperable.
Cristina: Worms in the brain. Not how you wanna go.

Meredith: He had all these friends. They sang, and they played guitar. It's almost like he was a totally different person.
Cristina: Well he was.
Meredith: It kinda freaks me out a little bit. I feel like I don't know him.
Cristina: Well, I don't know Owen. We don't. We don't know them.

Meredith (narrating): Every patient's story starts the same way. It starts with them being fine, it starts in the before. They cling to this moment, this memory of being fine, this before, as though talking about it may somehow bring it back. But what they don't realize is that they're talking about it to us, their doctors and that means there's no going back. By the time they see us, they're already in the after. And while every patient's story starts the same way, how the story ends depends on us, on how well we diagnose and treat. We know the story hinges on us and we all want to be the hero.

Izzie: They tried number 9? Who does 9?
Sadie: Well personally I'm a fan of 5, 7, 8, pretty much 12 through 20.
Meredith (laughs): I would try 15.
Izzie: Don't. Don't try 15. I would try 16. Yeah. I've never done that before.
Alex: You'd try 16?
Izzie: Uh huh. I would. I totally would. (Izzie and Alex look at each other then quickly leave the table)
Lexie: Um, don't do 16 too fast. It can hurt badly ... I heard.
