[narrating] "No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, like it or not. But here's the truth about the truth. It hurts. So we lie."
[narrating] "As doctors, we're trained to be skeptical, because patients lie to us all the time. The rule is, every patient is a liar until proven honest. Lying is bad. Or so we are told constantly from birth. Honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the cherry tree. Whatever. The fact is, lying is a necessity. We lie to ourselves because the truth... the truth freaking hurts."
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?"
PRESTON: "His injuries are far less severe. We have a much greater chance of saving him."
DEREK: "Well I could argue that because her injuries are more severe, he should be the one that gets moved."
MEREDITH: "So, basically, whoever you move doesn't stand a chance. How do you choose? How do you decide who gets to live?"
MEREDITH: "You're staying with her, aren't you?"
DEREK: [pauses] "She's my wife."
MEREDITH: "How weird is this job?"
GEORGE: "Weird."
[standing over Bonnie] "What about her? We can't just leave her! We can't just abandon her!"
[narrating] "As surgeons, there are so many things we have to know. We have to know we have what it takes. We have to know how to take care of our patients... and each other. Eventually, we have to figure out how to take care of ourselves. As surgeons we have to be in the know, but as human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark. In the dark there may be fear, but there's also hope."
GEORGE: "Was that a nod?"
MEREDITH: "Yes."
GEORGE: "Do we know what it meant?"
MEREDITH: "No."
GEORGE: "Well... for what it's worth, I... I think he's crazy if he doesn't pick you."
IZZIE: "She's been there for hours! It's getting kinda hard to watch!"
CRISTINA: "No... it was hard to watch half an hour ago, now it's just pathetic."
MEREDITH: "Who's pathetic?"
CRISTINA: "What?"
MEREDITH: "You, who pretend to be my friends! Calling me pathetic. Behind my back, in front of my face. Why don't you just dump the pig’s blood on me now and get it over with?"
MEREDITH: "I actually said 'pick me.' Pick me!?"
JOE: "I think it's romantic."
MEREDITH: "It's not romantic, Joe. It's horrifying. Horror-movie horrifying. Carrie at the prom with the pig's blood horrifying!"
JOE: "Well I think it's sweet."
MEREDITH: "I. said. PICK ME!"
DEREK: "You should come visit! The dog, I mean."
MEREDITH: [smiles] "Uh huh. Bye!"
