Quotes

Dr. Meredith Grey : At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines... or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know: if you're willing to take a chance... the view from the other side... is spectacular.

Dr. Derek Shepherd : So we're kissing but we're not dating?
Dr. Meredith Grey : I knew that was going to come up.

Dr. Meredith Grey : I have no idea what that was about.

Dr. George O'Malley : Oh, yes! Yes!
Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : I can't believe she caved!
Dr. George O'Malley : [touches Meredith's shoulder] Thank you!
Dr. Meredith Grey : [turns to Cristina] I can't believe I caved...
Dr. Cristina Yang : I blame the babies. They make you toxic.

Dr. George O'Malley : Who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing?
[in order, George, Izzie, Christina, and Meredith raise their hands]
Dr. George O'Malley : I mean, are we supposed to learning something? Because I don't feel like I'm learning anything.
Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Except how not to sleep.
Dr. Cristina Yang : You know, it's like there's a wall. The attendings and the residents are over there being surgeons, and we're over here being...
Dr. Meredith Grey : Suturing, code-running, lab-delivering, penis-minders.
Dr. Alex Karev : I hate being an intern.

Dr. Meredith Grey : Custody of a penis?

Dr. Meredith Grey : [voiceover] It's all about lines. The finish line at the end of residency. Waiting in line for a chance at the operating table. And then there is the most important line: the line separating you from the people you work with. It doesn't help to get too familiar, to make friends. You need boundaries between you and the rest of the world. Other people are far too messy. It's all about lines. Drawing lines in the sand and praying like hell no one crosses them. At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know: if you're willing to take the chance, the view from the other side is spectacular.

Dr. Meredith Grey : I kissed Derek
Dr. Cristina Yang : You kissed Derek?
Dr. Meredith Grey : In the elevator.
Dr. Cristina Yang : Why'd you kiss him in the elevator?
Dr. Meredith Grey : I was having a bad day. I am having a bad day.
Dr. Cristina Yang : This is what you do on your bad days, make out with Dr. McDreamy?
Dr. Meredith Grey : Well, you know that and carrying around a penis just makes everything seem so shiny and happy

Dr. Derek Shepherd : [waiting for the elevator, and Meredith walks up] Seattle has ferryboats.
Dr. Meredith Grey : Yes?
Dr. Derek Shepherd : I didn't know that. I've been living here six weeks. I didn't know there were ferryboats.
Dr. Meredith Grey : Seattle is surrounded by water on three sides.
Dr. Derek Shepherd : Hence the ferryboats. Now I have to like it here. I wasn't planning on liking it here. I'm genetically engineered to dislike everywhere, except Manhattan. I have a thing for ferryboats.
-
Dr. Derek Shepherd : So... it is intense... this thing I have for... ferryboats, I mean.
Dr. Meredith Grey : I am so taking the stairs this time
[she continues walking]
Dr. Derek Shepherd : No self control. It is sad, really
[he nods and gets into the elevator]

Dr. Meredith Grey : [roommates wanted ad] Non-smokers only please, no pets & absolutely no Bush supporters need apply.

Dr. Derek Shepherd : She's going to spend a hell of a long time in recovery and rehab.
Dr. Preston Burke : If she survives.
Dr. Derek Shepherd : What is she, like, 5'2", a hundred pounds, she's still breathing after what this guy did to her? If they catch the guy, they should castrate him.
Dr. Preston Burke : See how shredded her hands are. She tried to fight back.
Dr. Derek Shepherd : Tried to? Rape kit came back negative. She kicked his ass.
Dr. Preston Burke : So, we have a warrior among us, huh?
Dr. Meredith Grey : Allision. Her name is Allison.
Dr. Derek Shepherd : Allison.
Dr. Preston Burke : I think I may have found the cause of our rupture. What is this? Does anyone know what this is?
Dr. Meredith Grey : Oh my god.
Dr. Preston Burke : What? Spit it out Grey.
Dr. Meredith Grey : She bit it off.
Dr. Preston Burke : Bit off what?
Dr. Meredith Grey : That's h-his... penis. She bit off his, his penis.
Dr. Preston Burke : Oh.
