Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Episode 9: "Thanks for the Memories" Quotes

GEORGE: "Last month I performed open heart surgery in the elevator. All by myself."
GEORGE'S DAD: "Really?"
GEORGE: "Really."
GEORGE'S DAD: [pauses] "That's something. That's really something!"

[narrating] "Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."

MEREDITH

MIRANDA: "You are a surgical junkie. Go home!"
RICHARD: "Adele is already mad. I'm in trouble no matter what ... and there's a wipple happening in OR2."
MIRANDA: "Go home, right now!"
RICHARD: [walking away] "You know this kind of treatment is the reason they call you the Nazi!"
MIRANDA: [smiles] "Happy Thanksgiving."

CRISTINA: "I brought booze."

"Derek, are you done hurting me back? Because, if not, I need to special order a thicker skin."

"You treat us like we're stupid. And maybe we are. But we're your family. Give us an inch, Georgey. Every once in a while? Pick a car."

GEORGE'S FATHER

[whistles at Meredith] "A miserable, diseased, dirty ex-mistress? That's hot. I feel better already."

ALEX

[to Meredith, about failing his boards] "If I tell Izzie, she'll be all supportive and... she might as well just rip my nads off and turn them into earrings."

ALEX

"I feel like one of those people who are so freaking miserable that they can't be around normal people. Like I'll infect the happy people. Like I'm some miserable, diseased, dirty ex-mistress."

MEREDITH

JOE: "This, is my boyfriend-"
CRISTINA: "Yeah, whatever, great. Where's the booze?"
JOE: "I brought a pie."
CRISTINA: "But you're a bartender!"
JOE: "Did you bring a scalpel?"

CRISTINA: "Meredith's a WASP, isn't she? Liquor is like oxygen for WASPs."
GEORGE: Which is... probably why we're out of liquor."

"I'm in the woods. With shotguns and liquor and car talk. It's like Deliverance out here."

GEORGE
