Alex: Hey!
Lexie: I'm late for Sloan's meeting.
Alex: Yeah, so am I.
Lexie: Also, I'm not speaking to you.

[narrating] We go into medicine because we want to save lives. We go into medicine because we want to do good. We go into medicine for the rush... for the high... for the ride. But, what we remember at the end of most days are the losses. What we lay awake at night replaying is the pain we caused or failed to cure. The lives we ruined or failed to save. So the experience of practicing medicine rarely resembles the goal. The experience too often is ass backwards and upside down.

Meredith

What, are we,on a date here? I was complimenting your surgical skills, Dr. Sloan. Not looking through a window into your wounded soul.

Erica

I'm rising above... I'm rising above and do not want to be crossed while I'm busy rising.

Miranda

Erica: Can you make time?
Mark: Can you make time for a drink with me after?
Erica: Did I mention time is a factor here? I'm looking for a Yes or No answer.
Mark: As am I.
Erica: This may be enjoyable to you, Dr. Sloan, but I have a patient in serious condition. I came to you, because legend has it, that you're the best in plastics. But if bad jokes and sleazy come ons are all you're good for all afternoon, I'll page whoever's second best.
Mark: Dr. Hahn... I apologize. And I'll clear my schedule.
Erica: Thank you. OR 1.

Meredith: I've never seen her before.
Richard: What?
Meredith: I've never seen her before. I've worked in this hospital all this time and before today she was a complete stranger to me.
Richard: It happens, it's a big hospital.
Meredith: I've never met her before and I'm the person who handed her the worst day of her life. In her story that's who I am. That's who I'll always be.
Richard: That's the job.
Meredith: That's the job, I know.
Richard: Look at me. This day, this day you feel helpless. This day makes all those other days when you fight to save a life and lose. This day makes you grateful you have a chance to do anything at all. You take it in.

Nick: They all look scared.
Mark: They're medical professionals. A healthy level of fear is encouraged.

I'm going to go in early. I'm going to get on hard-core, Erica Hahn cardio and I'm gonna kick ass at it. And when I kick ass at cardio, it's going to piss Cristina off, but it won't matter, because I'll be a kick-ass cardio god!
