(voice over)) As doctors, we know more about the human body now than at any point in our history. But the miracle of life itself; why people live and die, why they hurt and get hurt is still a mystery. We want to know the reason, the secret, the answer at the back of the book… because the thought of our being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear. But at the end of the day, the fact that we show up for each other, in spite our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing.

Dr. Bailey

Are we together or are we not?

Derek

Now do you want me to stay here talking to you? Or do you want me to try and save your baby's life?

Erica

Cristina: I’m gonna go get Sloan.
Lexie: What you’re leaving?
Cristina: I’ll be right back. You can do this. You’re doing this.

You can’t cry Lexie. This isn’t over. You can’t cry.

Cristina

Derek: My perfect little life. Have you been paying attention at all?
Miranda: Yeah, I pay attention. I pay attention! I pay attention to people in all walks of life, all types. I notice people. I see people. It's guys like you who don't see people like me.
Derek: I don't see you?
Miranda: I'm not talking about you, Shepherd. Just guys like you. Who don't see girls like me. We don't exist for you. We exist to do your homework! We exist to build your ego up... I am a successful married mother. I am chief resident, I am CHIEF resident of a major metropolitan hospital! I am a surgeon, who saved his life today! And he still doesn't see me... I may as well still be that high school girl with the mushroom haircut and the coke bottle glasses and the band uniform. The girl who didn't get to go to homecoming dance cause it didn't even occur to him to ask me. All those late nights tutoring him, and it didn't even occur to him to ask?
Derek: Mmm. Band uniform. Really?
Miranda: Do I look like I wanna be mocked by you right now?
Derek: No, you don't. I'm just gonna say one thing. In high school, I was 110 pounds, and I hadn't yet figured out hair product, so I had a big afro. And, um, I had acne... and I too, wore a band uniform. Sax.
Miranda: Oboe.
Derek: I would have been honored to take a girl like you to homecoming.

Derek: Night, Bailey.
Miranda: Sit down.
Derek: What?
Miranda: Sit down!
Derek: You ok?
Miranda: What do you care? With your hair products and your perfect little face, perfect little life. What do you care how I am?

Molly: You better be able to fix my face. I have pom statewides in a month.
Alex: You're a cheerleader?
Molly: I'm a pom.
Mark: Cheerleaders just jump around. Poms are dancers.
Alex and Callie: [silence]
Mark: I was on the football team!
Callie: Yeah, I'm not sure you're gonna be doing any dancing in the next month.
Molly: You better be lying.
Callie: Not lying. You have very serious knee and leg fractures, not to mention a cracked coccyx.
Molly: What the hell is that?
Alex: That's the bone at the bottom of your spine.
Molly: Uh?
Callie: The bottom of your bottom.
Molly: My ass? I broke my ass?
Alex: That's one way to look at it.
Mark: Don't look at it!

Lexie: I never knew what to say to them. In high school. Kids like him. They were always so... separate from the rest of us, you know, alone. It wasn't like that for me. I was prom queen and class valedictorian.
Izzie: Yeah, I wouldn't broadcast that.

[to Lexie] Hey, I am in love with you now. I entirely forgot about my ex.

Nick

[to George] You need to go back out there and tell him that I took a vow... a vow to save lives. He might also remember that he took a vow for better or for worse. You tell him that it's his job as a husband to understand that. You tell him I am standing by my vow for better or for worse. You tell him I am holding him to his vow.

Miranda

Izzie: Do you want me to keep the family informed?
Erica: I want you to think like a surgeon. You're thinking like a social worker. If you wanna be a social worker you can save yourself a lot of effort because the training is two years not 12. If you wanna be a surgeon, you can update the family when the crisis has passed.

Grey's Anatomy Season 4 Quotes

Everyday is my mothers birthday. My mother was born in March. He lied. He's a liar. And I'm glad. Really, I'm glad that you found him charming. I'm sure he was delightful. He's a blast after five drinks, not so much after nine though; he gets a little weepy and mean. He's a drunk, Meredith. He probably came in and told you how wonderful you are. How sad he is he doesn't get to spend more time with you. You know, yesterday he told me I was his favorite daughter. The day before, I was an ungrateful bitch. The week before, he wrote me a check for $20,000 because he said I deserved everything life had to offer, because he was so proud of me, a lifetime's worth of proud. So thank you for letting me know that I need to keep a better eye on him. Thanks.

Lexie

Meredith: I will take the ER and your interns.
Cristina: Are you sure?
Meredith: Take the surgery. Makes you feel better and you start to regain strength. [leaves]
Alex: I saw the whole thing, Yang. You can stop pretending.
Cristina: Oh I'm not pretending. I'm sad. I'm very sad. Me so sad!
Alex: Yes, you tried.
Cristina: Hey, forget it. Sad is mine. Go, find your own pretend-emotion.
