RICHARD: "I've been visiting Ellis Grey. I work, I visit Ellis, that's my day. I make time for Ellis, I don't make time for Adele. Stop... helping me! Look, I miss my wife. I want her back. I don't want my marriage to be over.
ADDISON: "Richard, your marriage isn't over until you decide it is. Until you decide that the sacrifice just isn't worth it."

DEREK: "We think you're depressed."
RICHARD: "Both of you?"
DEREK & ADDISON: "Yes."
RICHARD: "Well, for the two of you to agree on something I must be damn near suicidal."

ADDISON: "Did you see that?"
RICHARD: "Hmm?"
ADDISON: "Sloan. He's using his interns to pick up his dry cleaning, and his lunch!"
RICHARD: [leaves] "I've got to do an endoscopy."

RICHARD: "Dr. Grey."
MEREDITH: "Chief!"
ELLIS: [jumps up] "Richard!"
RICHARD: "The nurse sayd she hasn't been eating."
ELLIS: "Mmm! You wonderful man!"
RICHARD: "I'm interrupting! I'll go-"
MEREDITH: "No! Chief, You stay and I'll go."

ALEX: "I just came out here to have some fun. Then the guy gets all over me about what I'm wearing. He just rubs me the wrong way."
RICHARD: "You're on a camping trip. You're supposed to be enjoying the great outdoors."
ALEX: "You know I grew up in a bar? Literally, in a bar. My dad was always doing one of two things in there. Playing music or drinking. Dude never even took me to the park. I just figured this was my chance to get out with the guys, but the one time I try-"
RICHARD: "You wanted to be a different person."

"Oh! So you're, um, that's wonderful! Man love! It's beautiful. Beautiful... My cousin's gay! So... I'm hip and Brokeback Mountain and... all of that."

RICHARD: "How long have you and Walter been together?"
JOE: "Ten years."
RICHARD: "Really?"
JOE: "Yeah. We're thinking about kids."
RICHARD: "That's a big step."
JOE: "Tell me about it. You have kids?"
RICHARD: "Me? No. I... I work all the time. Adele always said she didn't want to raise kids alone."
JOE: "Walter says the same thing... I'm always working. At the bar. If I'm not there, who's gonna run the place?"
RICHARD: "Right!"
JOE: "But... Walter's worth it. If I have to make a change I'll do it."

RICHARD: "Joe and Walter got tired of not catching any fish. They went for a hike. What do you make of that?"
PRESTON: "Joe and Walter?"
RICHARD: "Oh! No, no, no. Joe and Walter are great. I mean that we've not caught any fish."
DEREK: "Just one: fish generally don't like to go where there's a lot of noise."

RICHARD: "Adele always sewed all my buttons."
ADDISON: "Have you called her?"
RICHARD: "Adele? Oh no. I wouldn't want to bother her with something as trivial as a button. I don't suppose either of you would wanna-"
ADDISON: "I'm sorry. I have two uteruses that I have to attend to."
MIRANDA: "I have many skills. Many skills. Surgical skills. Your button ruptures its esophagus, I'm your woman. Otherwise..." [leaves]

RICHARD: "You're blocking my light."
DEREK: "Think of it as a basic corner stich."
RICHARD: "I can figure out how to sew on my own buttons, thank you. I am a surgeon. Oh for God's sake! You sew this on for me, and I'll get rid of Addison and Sloan."
DEREK: "Really?"
RICHARD: "No."

RICHARD: "What kind of idiot lights a cigarette in a hospital?"
DEREK: "Apparently people do idiotic things all the time."

DEREK: "Can I ask you a personal question? Why did you leave Meredith's mother?"
RICHARD: "I could have left Adele. I could have gone away with Ellis. But I would have had so much baggage, so much guilt. Ellis couldn't see it, but I wasn't... I would have never made her happy. Not like she was certain to be happy. I was a better man for walking away. I loved her enough to walk away."
