The truth is, guilt's not all bad. Sure it makes you do things you might not want to do, but it serves as a moral compass. It keeps us on course...so yeah, maybe guilt keeps us in check. that doesn't mean it's not a huge pain in the ass.

[to Emily] First, there's nothing wrong with guilt. I mean, right now I'd like to walk away and leave you here feeling bad because then maybe you'd mess up in the OR or something, but I'd feel bad about that. So instead I'm telling you everyone knows you're a good person. It's incredibly annoying. So clearly, whatever you did, you had good intentions because that's just who you are.

Cassandra: You're such a ridiculous person, Pitts. Why is it that I'm being so nice to you if you can't do me one simple favor?
Emily: Cassandra, how is it that you always know just what to say?

Will: Well, what do you know, you think you know someone, then you find out she keeps a penis in her locker.
Emily: Seriously, could Albagetti be more immature?
Tyra: I'm no expert but the detail work is stunning.

Tyra: You can make nice conversation, right? You're not going to be all dull and 'which movies to do you like' and 'I think Greek yogurt's overrated,' right?
Emily: I can improve on that.

[to Will] What do you mean I have a break-bad-news face?

Emily: You told him I'd go out with him?
Tyra: It's not that big of a deal. You don't have to put out or anything. I mean, I'm sure he'd appreciate that, but that's totally up to you.

Emily: What's up, Cassandra, why are you being nice?
Cassandra: Oh, fine, I need a favor.

Ignore feelings of guilt.
