"Dr. Stevens, I swear on my life if I hear you say 'eight million dollars' one more time..."
MIRANDA
ELLIS: "What happened to you?"
MEREDITH: "What do you mean?"
ELLIS: "You're happy? You're happy now? The Meredith I knew was a force of nature. Passionate, focused, a fighter. What happened to you? You've gone soft! Stammering about a boyfriend and saying you're waiting to be inspired. You're waiting for inspiration? Are you kidding me?! I have a disease for which there is no cure, I think that would be inspiration enough! Listen to me, Meredith. Anyone can fall in love and be blindly happy! But not everyone can pick up a scalpel and save a life. I raised you to be an extraordinary human being, so imagine my disappointment when I wake up after five years and discover that you are no more than... ordinary! What happened to you?!"
CALLIE: "We went to Vegas. My idea. I embrace the trashy."
ADDISON: "That's... not that I'm not happy for you, but why? Married. So. Fast."
CALLIE: "You know those cartoons, where there's a bear and it's starving, and it looks at a cute intern?"
ADDISON: "Well, congratulations."
CALLIE: [shows her the ring] "It's small. I know it's small."
ADDISON: "It's beautiful."
MEREDITH: "You got married?"
GEORGE: "Yeah, I did. It was- I know it was implusive."
MEREDITH: "Was it good-impulsive or Meredith-impulsive? Because if it was Meredith-impulsive, maybe I could help get you out of it."
GEORGE: "No. It's a good thing. But thanks for the back-up."
MEREDITH: "You're welcome. Congratulations George."
IZZIE: "It's fast, you know? It seems really, very fast. Are you even happy?"
CALLIE: "We're incredibly happy."
IZZIE: "Oh yay! Well great. Yay!"
GEORGE: "Show her the ring."
CALLIE: "Oh."
IZZIE: "Oh, that's so great. Tiny diamonds are great because you know what? No one will ever try to steal it."
IZZIE: [to Alex] "Oh no no no... don't don't don't touch that. That was $79 dollars!"
CRISTINA: "Oh my God, I have got to get out of here."
CRISTINA: "I don't do rings. Don't expect me to suddenly change. I'm a surgeon, just like you. And we'll have money, we can hire a wife."
PRESTON: "Are you saying yes?"
CRISTINA: "Y-yeah."
PRESTON: "I'm not letting you scrub in tomorrow."
CRISTINA: "Well, I'm not wearing a ring."
PRESTON: "Okay."
CRISTINA: "Okay then."
PRESTON: [pauses] "YES!"
ELLIS: "Then let me refuse the heart surgery."
MEREDITH: "No!"
ELLIS: "Why not?!"
MEREDITH: "Because killing my mother is not gonna be another thing that happens to me."
[to Ellis] "You think that I like making these decisions for you? You think it's fun to get calls from the nursing home asking whether I was planning on giving the nurse, who changes you every morning a Christmas tip? But I do it. Because you have managed to alienate everybody else in your life and I am the only one, so I have to step up and do it. You wanna know why I'm so unfocused? So ordinary? You wanna know what happened to me? You! You happened to me!"
MEREDITH
MEREDITH: "I'm not sure refusing treatment is what you want to do..."
ELLIS: "Apparently, what I want doesn't matter! It isn't even legally binding! So it's really about what you want, Meredith. You're in charge!"
ELLIS: "You're what happened to her."
DEREK: "I'm sorry."
ELLIS: "I thought you were here for me. To offer me some hope. To tell me about some new treatment, but you're here for her."
DEREK: "Dr. Grey."
ELLIS: "An attending, a neurosurgeon. No wonder she's so unfocused."
DEREK: "I don't think you understand."
ELLIS: "I understand. I understand perfectly. I've seen men like you before, threatened by a woman who's their equal. You just want someone to admire you. You don't care about the damage you do to her along the way."
ELLIS: "What about a functional MRI now, while I'm lucid?"
DEREK: "An MRI's not going to show us anything. No test is gonna help us understand what's going on."
ELLIS: "So in five years, you've made no advances and there is nothing else you can do for me. I don't know how you do it. Day-in and day-out, you're with people with this awful disease."
DEREK: "Oh. I... See, actually, I'm not a Alzheimer's specialist. I just took a special interest in this case because of Meredith."
