"Oh look - she's laughing. Because he made a joke, which probably wasn't funny. Ohhh, you funny vet!"

CRISTINA

[narrating] "Surgeons usually fantisize about wild and improbable surgeries. Someone collapses in a restaurant, you splice them open with a butter knife, replace a valve with a hollowed out stick of carrot -- but every now and then some other kind of fantasy slips in. Most of our fantasies resolve when we wake, vanished to the back of our mind, but sometimes we're sure if we try hard enough -- we can live the dream."

MEREDITH

[to Mer] "You had a dream about the both of them. Threesome? Nice! Just when I think you're boring, you rise."

CRISTINA

MEREDITH: "What's that?"
FINN: "It's for you. It's coffee cake, best in the Northwest. I thought I would soften you up. So when I'm asking you for dinner tonight, you have to say yes."
CRISTINA: "Dinner? Tonight? How about that. Are you free tonight? Are you?"
MEREDITH: "Actually, I'm not free tonight."
FINN: "Oh. Okay. How about lunch then?"

MEREDITH: "Hey!"
FINN: "I was in the neighborhood. Well, really I wasn't, but you are worth the detour."
MEREDITH: "I had a dream about you last night."
FINN: "Was it a good dream?
MEREDITH: "It was."
FINN: "What was I doing?"
CRISTINA: "Yeah, Mer, what was he doing?"

DEREK: "Hey."
MEREDITH: "Hi. I had a dream about you last night."
DEREK: "You did? What was I doing, bringing you coffee?"
MEREDITH: "You were definitely not bringing any coffee. But coffee is good."

[narrating] The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was. Then again..."

MEREDITH

[narrating] "At any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don’t have control over most of them. When we get a chill... goose bumps. When we get excited... adrenaline. The body naturally follows it’s impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had."

MEREDITH

RICHARD: "I respect it. I really do. But I can't allow it. Violates all sorts of codes and you know it."
CALLIE: "So you're kicking me out, but you're allowed to live in your office?"
RICHARD: [pauses] "You noticed that, huh."
CALLIE: "I'm pretty observant."
RICHARD: "Well, guess if I'm throwing you out I better follow my own rules."

"Mama! Daddy!"

PRESTON

"Bailey's on the warpath ... not the German warpath. The hospital warpath."

CRISTINA

[to Cristina] "It's not that I don't like you. You're an intelligent, beautiful young woman. But you're selfish. And my Preston is giving. That combination won't last, not much longer."

MRS. BURKE

CRISTINA: [to Mer, but everyone hears] "Are you pregnant?"
ADDISON: [to Derek] "An adulterous love child?"
DEREK: "Goes along with an adulterous sociopath."

MEREDITH: "You brought Izzie food?"
FINN: "Yes."
MEREDITH: "Why?"
FINN: "Because when Liz, my wife, died, there was nothing anyone could say to make me feel better. But the bringing of food... that actually helped."
MEREDITH: "You brought Izzie food!"
