MEREDITH: "I was swimming. I was fighting. Then I thought, just for a second, I thought ‘What’s the point?’ And then I let go. I stopped fighting. Don’t tell anybody."
DENNY: "Okay."
MEREDITH: "What?"
DENNY: "Izzie."
MEREDITH: "You can see her?"
DENNY: "No. Sometimes we’d be at the same place at exactly the same time and I can almost hear her voice. It’s like I’m touching her. I like to believe she knows I’m there. That’s all you get. That’s it. Moments with the people you love. And they’ll move on and you’ll want them to move on. But still, Meredith, that’s all you get. Moments."

MEREDITH: "Is this really happening?"
DENNY: "I don’t know. This is your afterlife, not mine."

PRESTON: "You know, some do come back from this."
CRISTINA: "You know what? I’m not a civilian. I know the science here. It’s drinking time."
PRESTON: "Not yet. You have a responsibility to Meredith."
CRISTINA: "No. Uh-uh. I don’t do this stuff. You should know. I don’t go to great lengths."
PRESTON: "Well, you were there for me."
CRISTINA: "After. After I knew you were going to make it. Hey, I’m not proud. Okay, I just... I can’t. I can’t go back there. I can’t. I can’t go back there and watch her."
PRESTON: "Listen to me. This is about you and the woman you call your person. And you do know the science here. And if she dies, and you're sitting here when that happens, I can’t see you coming back from that. Come and say goodbye to your friend."

PRESTON: "There’s no change. Thought you should know."
CRISTINA: "No kidding."

ADDISON: "You know, sometimes I think what a waste it is to throw away all that history."
MARK: "I'm a flawed and I'm a... a wreck, but you... it wasn't a game."
ADDISON: "60 days. Go 60 days with no sex, no other women. You go 60 days cold turkey and maybe... I'll believe you."
MARK: "So I only have sex with you?"
ADDISON: "No. No sex with anyone. Grow up Mark. Find another way to scratch the itch."
MARK: "Say I do , you'll give us another try. A real try, the couple thing, no sneaking around, no booty calls."
ADDISON: "If you make it. Yes."
MARK: "Okay. We're on. Oh, and Addison, if I'm not having sex, neither are you."
ADDISON: "Who would I possibly be having sex with?"

ADDISON: [watching Derek] "We never had that. He never felt that way about me."
MARK: "I did."

[to Ellis] "You’ve been gone a long time. And I know you think you died when the Alzheimer’s started. I know it’s a relief to you. I know. But it doesn’t feel like a relief to me. I’m not relieved. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss talking to you. I miss you... I dyed my hair. For the ladies."

RICHARD

"Do you know what kind of miracle it is that Derek is who he is? Do you know how rare it is that someone like him even exists? He's still an optimist! He still believes in true love and magic and soulmates. He's waiting for you. And if you don't come back from this, you will change who he is."

DENNY

"Try again!"

CRISTINA

"Meredith... you are anything but ordinary."

ELLIS

"Meredith... This is not your brain on drugs. This is death. You are dead. You are really freaking dead. You're dirt nap dead. No more 'you' dead."

DYLAN

[narrating] "At the end of a day like this, when so many prayers are answered and so many aren’t, we take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch."
