CRISTINA: "Excuse me, why aren't you apologizing?"
BURKE: "I'm an Attending, I don't have to apologize to residents. You, on the other hand, are an intern."

[to patient] "She can have more than a trailer park and a graveyard shift at a truck-stop diner. Don't you want that for her? I mean, if you can get past the fact that I'm superior, and that I'm judging you, and telling you what's best for your family... if you can just get past all of that, isn't it possible that I'm also right?"

IZZIE

"With all due respect, Dr. Burke, I know you don't know me very well but I'm pretty good at what I do. And my patient is a 25-year-old marathoner, and I told her husband I would try and save her leg. So, my plan is to stand here as long as it takes to scrape away every last cell of necrotic flesh. And when I do, our eager young intern here can hold the saw. Unlike Dr. Karev, kindness and compassion aren't very high on her list of priorities, but a little bone-saw action? Maybe that will earn me some respect, am I right?"

SYDNEY

[to Cristina] "I must say I'm disappointed in you. Why can't you be more like Alex? This guy, he's compassionate, he's warm. He's fighting with me to save Claire's leg."

SYDNEY

SYDNEY: "Anyone want to probe the wound?"
CRISTINA / ALEX: "I do."
ALEX: "I'd really love to try your method of healing with love."
SYDNEY: "I like the way you think, Alex. You do the honors."

"I'm a union guy. Give me that sign!"

GEORGE

"Can you dismount... please?"

CRISTINA

CRISTINA: "Look at George. He's cowering behind the picket line like a little girl."
SYDNEY: "Standing up for what he believes in, that's my kind of little girl! Am I right?"

CRISTINA: "Ow. Ow. Ow."
SYDNEY: "Am I hurting you?"
CRISTINA: "No you're touching me."

"Here you are! You guys look like a great group! Which is awesome, because my horoscope said it was going to be a very challenging day! But no! This is great, we're going to have so much fun!"

SYDNEY

"You know why I stopped being a nurse? Doctors. Doctors who don't know how to pitch in."

RICHARD'S ASSISTANT

OLIVIA: "Change your own bedpans, Stevens!"
IZZIE: "Yeah, well enjoy your syphilis, Olivia."

Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Episode 15 Quotes

[narrating] "In general, lines are there for a reason. For security, for clarity. If you choose to cross the line, you pretty much do so at your own risk. So why is it that the bigger the line, the greater the temptation to cross it? We cant help ourselves. When we see a line we want to cross it. Maybe it’s the thrill of the unfamiliar, a sort of personal dare. The only problem is once that you’ve crossed, it’s almost impossible to go back. But, if you do manage to make it back across the line, you find safety in numbers."

MEREDITH

GEORGE: "What happened today?"
IZZIE: "Nothing."
MEREDITH: "Nothing."
GEORGE: "Okay then."
IZZIE: "We don’t know everything about each other, George."
MEREDITH: "Yeah."
GEORGE: [pause] "True. Anybody wanna have sex?"
