Lexie: I don't know how you get up in the morning, I honestly don't. Our dad abandoned you. And your mom by all accounts was the meanest person ever and you can't let Derek love you and it all really, really sucks. But ever since I knew you existed I had this fantasy about my big sister and you have failed, on every occasion to live up to that fantasy. But I still love you, whether you are capable of letting me or not. So, I forgive you. (storms out of bathroom)
Dr. Wyatt: (comes out of bathroom stall) 2:00 work for you?
Meredith: Yeah... okay.

Lexie: I forgive you.
Meredith: Lexie
Lexie: No. I forgive you. I forgive you for treating me like crap, and I forgive you for letting your friend treat me like crap.

George: He punched someone named Harrison.
Miranda: (to Tucker) You punched a child?
George: Apparently there was a graham cracker involved.
Miranda: Over a graham cracker?
George: They said they want you to talk to him.
Miranda: What... he's 14 months old? What do they think I'm going to do, give him a lecture on non-violent conflict resolution?
George: I really don't know.
Miranda: My son punches other children!

Meredith: Christina... are you in the dark place?
Christina: Yeah.
Meredith: Me too.

Dr. Wyatt: What happened last year when you fell in the water?
Meredith: I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?
Dr. Wyatt: You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.
Meredith: I was trying to save a patient!
Dr. Wyatt: Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.
Meredith: Hand me my chart. NOW! And don't ever talk about my mother again.

Dr. Wyatt: Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?
Meredith: When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?
Dr. Wyatt: When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.
Meredith: Give me my chart.
Dr. Wyatt: Why?
Meredith: Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.

Meredith: We’ve got this patient and she’s got true love. You wanna know why? Because her boyfriend doesn’t exist. Derek is all broken up over her like it means something that she’s having an affair with a hallucination.
Dr. Wyatt: But Derek wasn’t ready to give up on the relationship when you were.
Meredith: No, I didn’t give up. I wanted to try again, and then he went a kissed Rose. So he’s the one that messes up, not me.
Dr. Wyatt: But it’s a relationship. People make mistakes, and you stand back waiting for him to fail so you can say AHA! Now I quit.
Meredith: No, it wasn’t working.

Dr. Wyatt: We had our first honest conversation about your feelings, and now you want to leave. That timing doesn’t strike you as strange?
Meredith: No, and I’m still firing you.
Dr. Wyatt: No, you’re quitting.
Meredith: No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.
Dr. Wyatt: No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.
Meredith: Now you’re really fired.

Callie: Give me two minutes I'll meet you in the third-floor on-call room.
Mark: [points to his pants, then his head] No. We're gonna sit, enjoy a nice meal. I've turned over a new leaf. From now on if you want this, you're gonna get this too.
Callie: Eww.

Dr. Wyatt: If he's with Rose that means he's not with you. And do you know why he's not with you? You're scared.
Meredith: Are you calling me a coward?
Dr. Wyatt: I think you are very frightened Dr. Grey.
Meredith: Are you calling me a coward?
Dr. Wyatt: What do you think?

Dr. Wyatt: He's with Rose.
Meredith: You know what, I'm not going to do this.
Dr. Wyatt: He's with Rose.
Meredith: WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT?!?
Dr. Wyatt: Because if you can't see what is wrong with that sentence, He's with Rose, we're never going to get anywhere, He's with Rose.
Meredith: OKAY! So he's with Rose. SO WHAT?!

Dr. Wyatt: Look, let me draw the parallels for you. The tragic patient dies alone while the love of his life is literally in the next room. That's you.
Meredith: What are you talking about? I'm not dying alone.
Dr. Wyatt: Oh. But I think you are, and you're telling yourself you're a hero, when in reality all you are is alone.
Meredith: THAT is a load of crap!

Grey's Anatomy Season 4 Quotes

I tell you that I love you, and not one word? For 17 days? Where have you been?

Izzie

[narrating] In the practice of medicine, change is inevitable. New surgical techniques are created, procedures are updated, levels of expertise increase. Innovation is everything, nothing remains the same for long. We either adapt to change, or ... we get left behind.
