Grey's Anatomy Season 1 Episode 3: "Winning a Battle, Losing the War" Quotes

DEREK: "It's not the chase."
MEREDITH: "What?"
DEREK: "You and me. It is not the thrill of the chase. It's not a game. It's... it's your tiny ineffectual fists. And your hair."
MEREDITH: "My hair?"
DEREK: "It smells nice. And you're very, very bossy. It keeps me in line."
MEREDITH: "I'm still not going out with you."
DEREK: [smiles] "You say that now."

CRISTINA: "I'm not a people person."

GEORGE: "You underestimate me. I'm not a baby, I'm your colleague. You don't have to manipulate me. If you want something, all you have to do is ask."
IZZIE: "We want you to go over Burke's head to the Chief."
GEORGE: "Ask me something easier."

ALEX: "God, I smell good! You know what, it's the smell of an open heart surgery. It is awesome. It. Is. Awesome! You gotta smell me."
MEREDITH: "I don't want to smell you."
ALEX: [wraps arms around Mer] "Oh, yes you do!"
MEREDITH: [shoves Alex] "You've gotta to be kidding me! I've got more important things to deal with than you. I've got roommates, boy problems and family problems... You wanna act like a little frat boy bitch, that's fine. You wanna take credit for your saves and everybody elses, that's fine too. Just stay out of my face! And for the record you smell like crap!" [Derek walks in]
ALEX: [shrugs] "She attacked me." [Meredith attacks]
DEREK: [steps in] "Meredith, Meredith!" [to Alex] "You know, you might want to leave, before I change my mind and let her beat you to a pulp with her tiny, ineffectual fists."

IZZIE: "George, you did good."
GEORGE: "I'm going to have to dodge Burke for the rest of my career. He could kill me and make it look like an accident."

MEREDITH: "We are SO going to hell. Burke's sending us straight to hell."
CRISTINA: "On the express train."

DEREK: "You're asking for my advice? Now who’s chasing who?"
MEREDITH: "Not funny, this is important."

CRISTINA: "Kick 'em out."
MEREDITH: "I can't kick them out, they just moved in. I asked them to move in."
CRISTINA: "Okay, so what, you're just going to repress everything in some deep, dark, twisted place until one day you snap and you kill them?"
MEREDITH: "Yep."
CRISTINA: "This is why we are friends."
