IZZIE: [to Richard] "I cut the LVAT wire."
MEREDITH: "Actually, I cut the LVAT wire."
GEORGE: "No, I did. I'm the one who cut the wire." [pauses, elbows Christina]
CRISTINA: "Fine, I cut the LVAT wire."
ALEX: "I didn't do anything, I'm totally innocent."
RICHARD: "One of you compromised a patient's life. One of you stole an organ. One of you jeopardized the integrity of this hospital and of UNOS. Now you tell me and you tell me right now. [silence] Alright, fine. No surgeries."
CRISTINA: "Sir?"
RICHARD: "No one scrubs in, no one watches from the gallery, no one so much as goes near the O.R. Until someone confesses, you will share a single patient, Camille Travis. Whatever she wants, the five of you will provide it. Get the hell out of my sight."
CRISTINA: "I didn't like teenage girls when I was a teenage girl."
MEREDITH: "I wore a lot of black."
CRISTINA: "Ooh."
MEREDITH: "Had the whole angry pink hair thing going on. Wouldn't have been caught dead at a prom."
CRISTINA: "My mother made me go. My date barfed on my dress and then tried to feel me up."
RICHARD: "I know your type. You're a surgical junkie."
CRISTINA: "Sir?"
RICHARD: "I'm just saying, it's not going to be easy for you to be away from the O.R. for long."
CRISTINA: "No sir."
RICHARD: "And if you want to get back to the O.R., you're gonna tell me what I need to know."
CRISTINA: [pauses] "You're right, it's not easy for me to be away from the O.R. And it's not easy for me to sit in front of you, or any other authority figure for that matter, and not be able to give you the exact answer that you want to hear. I'm the one with the answers. I've always been the one with the answers. But right now, sir, I don't have any."
[the cast, narrating]
MEREDITH: "Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive."
GEORGE: "Family"
CRISTINA: "Love"
IZZIE: "Sex"
DEREK: "But we only need one thing"
RICHARD: "To actually be alive."
CRISTINA: "We need a beating heart."
ADDISON: "When our heart is threatened"
ALEX: "We respond in one of two ways."
GEORGE: "We either run or-"
IZZIE: "We attack."
RICHARD: "There's a scientific term for this."
ALEX: "Fight..."
ADDISON: "...or flight."
MIRANDA: "It's instinct."
MEREDITH: "We can't control it."
IZZIE: "Or can we?"
CRISTINA: "How do you keep your edge, sir? Because I've watched you and you've been doing this a long time and you're clean, you're focused, you are the job. Nothing gets to you. And the thing is sir, I was like that, until I got here. Until I actually started doing this job and now everything is... is fuzzy and-"
RICHARD: "That’s beside the point."
CRISTINA: "No, you see sir, this is the point. Because I can't tell you. I can't tell you what happened in that room. And before, I could have. No guilt, no loyalties, no problem. Before, before I wouldn't have even been in that room. I wouldn't have gotten involved. I would have never frozen in surgery. I would have told him what I thought he should do. I had an edge sir. I had an edge and I've lost it, and I need it. I need it back. So, if you could just tell me, how you keep yours and how not to be affected, I know I could be a great surgeon. So if you could just give me the answers, I would really appreciate it."
RICHARD: "You're excused, Dr. Yang."
CRISTINA: "But-"
RICHARD: "You're excused. Go."
CRISTINA: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you who cut the LVAT wires if you'll please-"
RICHARD: "No you won't, I don't wanna know. Not from you. Yeah, I have the answers, but I can't tell them to you. I'm not going to be responsible for you becoming less human."
RICHARD: "People! I know who did this, so you might as well come clean. I know!"
GEORGE: "With all due respect, sir, if you knew you wouldn't be asking us."
IZZIE: "I did it."
MEREDITH: "You have your suspicions, but you don't actually know."
CRISTINA: "Not for sure."
GEORGE: "And you can't do anything to any of us without proof, sir."
CRISTINA: "Hey! We stick together, we all did this. Nobody's a victim. We stick together. [pauses] Dammit!"
IZZIE: "Thank you."
CRISTINA: "You're welcome."
PRESTON: "So... it's date night."
CRISTINA: "Yeah, it's a night... with a date."
CRISTINA: "I've already spent an hour picking bird parts out of this guy. I'm over it."
GEORGE: "Carpe diem."
MEREDITH: "Right, you and my forehead. I'm beginning to look how I feel. Carpe that."
GEORGE: "This is the luckiest day in the world!"
CRISTINA: "Tell that to the bird."
IZZIE: [to Cristina, who is trying on outfits] "You'd look hot in any of them."
CRISTINA: "Clearly! But that's not the point."
MEREDITH: "Hey, why aren't you busy prepping for rounds and stealing all the good cases?"
CRISTINA: "Why aren't you busy prepping for rounds and stealing all the good cases?"
MEREDITH: "No reason."
CRISTINA: "No reason." [pause] "Burke thinks I moved in with him."
MEREDITH: "McDreamy and I have a case. Wait. He thinks you moved in with him?"
CRISTINA: "You're calling him McDreamy again?"
MEREDITH: "So?"
CRISTINA: "What are you doing?"
MEREDITH: "What are YOU doing?"
