Season 3 Episode 14: "Wishin' and Hopin'"

ELLIS: "You're what happened to her."
DEREK: "I'm sorry."
ELLIS: "I thought you were here for me. To offer me some hope. To tell me about some new treatment, but you're here for her."
DEREK: "Dr. Grey."
ELLIS: "An attending, a neurosurgeon. No wonder she's so unfocused."
DEREK: "I don't think you understand."
ELLIS: "I understand. I understand perfectly. I've seen men like you before, threatened by a woman who's their equal. You just want someone to admire you. You don't care about the damage you do to her along the way."

ELLIS: "What about a functional MRI now, while I'm lucid?"

MEREDITH: "The reason that I want you to have the surgery is because I have this hope, that in a year, two years or five, they're gonna have a breakthrough. They're gonna find a cure for Alzhiemer's, and you and I will have another chance. To get to know each other. You'll get a chance to know me, to see that I am not even remotely ordinary, so I wish you would have the surgery. But it's up to you Mom, it's your life."
ELLIS: "You remind me of my daughter."
RICHARD: "About an hour ago. One minute she was here, the next- I'm so sorry."
MEREDITH: "Me too."

MEREDITH: [narrating] "As doctors, we're trained to give our patients just the facts. But what our patients really want to know is - will the pain go away? Will I feel better? Am I cured? What our patients really want to know is - is there hope? But, inevitably, there are times when you find yourself in the worst case scenario. When the patient's body has betrayed them and all the science we have to offer has failed them. When the worst case scenario comes true, clinging to hope is all we've got left."

MEREDITH: [narrating] "As surgeons, we live in a world of worse case scenarios. We cut ourselves off from hoping for the best because too many times the best doesn’t happen. But every now and then something extraordinary occurs and suddenly best case scenarios seem possible. And every now and then something amazing happens, and against our better judgment we start to have hope."

Season 3 Episode 13: "Great Expectations"

MIRANDA: "These are your letters of support for my free clinic. Sign them."
PRESTON: "Why do you want this clinic so badly?"
DEREK: "You're a surgeon."
MIRANDA: "Because I need something more. I know you all have your messy love lives and your secrets and your silliness, but I want more. I need something to hold on to. I need a reason to believe that medicine can do more than stitch you up and send you away. I need to believe that medicine can not only save lives, but change lives! I need... I need... to believe in something the way I used to believe in you all. Sign the papers! Sign the papers."

MIRANDA: "You didn't think of maybe telling me this morning that you were planning to step down instead of sending me on this wild goose chase?"
RICHARD: "Dr. Bailey. You need those clowns to sign off on your proposal because one of them may be Chief of Surgery in a month. It's hard to imagine, for me more than anyone, but since you're not ready for the job, one of them has got to do it for the next few years."
MIRANDA: "Me?!"
RICHARD: "It's you that's going to be Chief eventually. That's who you are. But you're gonna have to get a new chair because you're too short. You have short legs. But someday you are going to be Chief of Surgery. I wasn't sending you on a wild goose chase. I was trying to get you in a habit of doing things without me."

ALEX: "You kissed me right? You kissed me and ever since, you've been avoiding me."
ADDISON: "Alex."
ALEX: "No, you've been avoiding me because you just assumed I want you. Or you just expect that everyone you look at sideways is pining after you, right? Has it even occurred to you that maybe I'm not interested?"
ADDISON: "You're not interested?"
ALEX: "You think I wanna be just another intern sleeping an attending?"
ADDISON: "You kissed me back."
ALEX: "You're my boss. I mean, what did you expect me to do? Look, Sloan's had me changing bandages all day, and I would way rather be scrubbing in one of your surgeries. And if you keep avoiding me, I don't get to scrub in, so stop avoiding me. [pauses] Look, it happened. But it doesn't have to happen again."

CALLIE: "How's George?"
CRISTINA: "Dealing, I guess."
CALLIE: "He sure has a voracious appetite."
CRISTINA: "Some people bake. Others eat."
CALLIE: "No no no. I don't mean that kind of appetite. I mean the other appetite."
CRISTINA: "Oh okay. We're not friends. You and I. We're not friends, so please don't talk to me about what George eats."
CALLIE: "I was just concerned and I thought you'd be concerned, but you know what? Forget it. I don't like you."
CRISTINA: "Oh. Now my feelings are hurt."

IZZIE: "Let me remind you that I'm that I'm still recovering from the death of my fiancé, the demise of my surgical career, the fact that I was forced to deposit my 8 million dollar check that I'm saving for a good cause even though I haven't found a good cause. And I'm the only one here under a hack of a shrink. I could blow any minute. Now George's dad has died and turned him into a sex machine. I'm going to need a little help with that so one of you better pull it together."

MEREDITH: "And Alex. I don't know what's wrong with Alex."
ALEX: "I'm good. I'm all good."
