CRISTINA: "You're eight feet tall. Your boobs are perfect, your hair is down to there. If I was you I would just walk around naked all the time. I wouldn't have a job, I wouldn't have any skills, I wouldn't even know how to read. I would just be... naked."
IZZIE: "It's all makeup. Retouching."
CRISTINA: "You get that we hate you, right?"

GEORGE: "A shift is a marathon, not a sprint. Eat."
IZZIE: "I can't."
GEORGE: "You should eat something."
IZZIE: "You try eating after performing 17 rectal exams. The Nazi hates me."
GEORGE: "The Nazi's a resident. I have attendings hating me."

[narrating] "I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. As for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something we have to define for ourselves."

ALEX: [sees George crouching down] "What are you doing?"
GEORGE: "Hiding. There's this VIP patient that likes me."
ALEX: "Well, that's good, right?"
GEORGE: "No, you don't understand. He likes me, likes me."
ALEX: "Hey, go for it, man. Get yours. I'm down with the rainbow."
GEORGE: [silence]
ALEX: [pauses] "Oh, are you not gay?"
GEORGE: "No."
ALEX: "Really? Dude, sorry."

MEREDITH: [talking about her new roommates] "They're just... everywhere, all the time. Izzie's all perky and George does the thing where he's helpful and considerate. They share food, they say things, they move things, and they breathe. They're, like, happy."
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."

"I guess we're adults. The question is, when did that happen, and how do we make it stop?"

MEREDITH

MEREDITH: [to Derek] "Stop looking at me like that, like you've seen me naked."
DEREK: [smiles]

DEREK: "Meredith, I am so sorry. Addison. What are you doing here?"
ADDISON: "Well you'd know if you'd bothered to return any one of my phone calls."
MEREDITH: [confused]
ADDISON: "Hi, I'm Addison Shepherd."
MEREDITH: "Shepherd?"
ADDISON: "And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband."
MEREDITH: [silence]

IZZIE: "Hi! I'm Isobel Stevens, but everyone just calls me Izzie."
MIRANDA: "I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna change."

"Every intern wants to perform their first surgery. That's not your job. Do you know what your job is? To make your resident happy. Do I look happy? No! Why? Because my interns are whiney. You know what will make me look happy? Having the code team staffed, having the trauma pages answered, having the weekend labs delivered and having someone down in the pit doing the sutures. No one holds a scalpel until I'm so happy I'm Mary Freaking Poppins."

MIRANDA

ALEX: "So, Grey and Stevens really walk around in their underwear?"
GEORGE: "Um... Not all the time. I mean, some of the time. But not all the time."
ALEX: "Sexy underwear?"
GEORGE: "Yeah..."
ALEX: "And they just let you look at them?"
GEORGE: "Well, uh... yeah."
ALEX: "So they're like your sisters?"
GEORGE: "No! Not like sisters. Uh... no! I don't think of them like sisters."
ALEX: "But they're not coming on to you?"
GEORGE: "Well, not exactly."
ALEX: "And they don't expect you to do anything."
GEORGE: "No, but..."
ALEX: "Like sisters. Just like sisters."

"If I miss a real procedure because of this case, they're gonna call me 007, because I killed you."

ALEX: "Morning, Dr. Model."
IZZIE: "Dr. Evil Spawn."
ALEX: "Ooooh, nice tat. Do they airbrush that out for the catalogs?"
IZZIE: "I don't know. What do they do for the 666 on your skull?"
