Grey’s Anatomy Quotes (2005)
Dr. Meredith Grey: Did you let me scrub in for this operation because I slept with you?
Dr. Derek Shepherd: Yes.
[pause]
Dr. Derek Shepherd: Just kidding.
Katie Bryce: You are so lost.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I am not lost. Okay?
Dr. Derek Shepherd: It’s not the chase.
Dr. Meredith Grey: What?
Dr. Derek Shepherd: 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.
Dr. Meredith Grey: My hair?
Dr. Derek Shepherd: It smells good. And you’re very, very ballsy. It keeps me in line.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I’m still not going out with you.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: You say that now…
Dr. Meredith Grey: I can’t think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose… there are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here’s the thing, I love the playing field.
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 lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines… that are way too dangerous to cross.
Dr. Meredith Grey: At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.
Dr. Meredith Grey: [about her new roommates] They’re everywhere. All the time. Izzie’s all perky and George does this where he’s helpful and considerate. They share food, and they say things, and they move things, and they breathe. Ugh, they’re, like, happy
Dr. Cristina Yang: Kick them out.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I can’t kick them out, they just moved in. I asked them to move in.
Dr. Cristina Yang: So what, you’re just going to repress everything in some deep, dark, twisted place until one day you snap and you kill them?
Dr. Meredith Grey: Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we’re wired that way. Because without it, I don’t know; maybe we just wouldn’t feel real. What’s that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.
Dr. George O’Malley: 007. They’re calling me 007, aren’t they?
Izzie & Meredith: No-one’s calling you 007.
Dr. George O’Malley: I was on the elevator and Murphy whispered 007.

Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: Okay. Seriously, George. Please don’t…
Dr. George O’Malley: Yeah, could we not talk about it here?
Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: What? Tampons?
Dr. George O’Malley: Did you not hear a word I said?
Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: You’re a man, we know.
[everyone in the room starts to laugh]
Dr. Alex Karev: Talk about shrinking the salamander.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: I am not mentally challenged.
Dr. Miranda Bailey: I’m not so sure about that.
Dr. George O’Malley: I know I’m not a lot of things that you’ve gone for in the past – I know, but I would never leave you. I would never hurt you. And I will never stop loving you…
Dr. Mark Sloan: You’re a bad liar.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: You’re old.
Dr. Miranda Bailey: [to Izzie] Course, now you know, every time he gets a rise, he’ll be thinking of you.
Dr. Miranda Bailey: [to Derek and Meredith, who are in the passenger seat of his car] You mind moving this tailwagon? You blocking me in.

George: Hey…
Izzie: You shouldn’t be sleeping in the On-Call room.
Dr. Meredith Grey: What was I to you? The girl you screwed to get over being screwed?
Dr. Derek Shepherd: You were like coming up for fresh air. It’s like I was drowning and you saved me. It’s all I know.
Dr. Meredith Grey: It’s not good enough.
Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: You kissed me.
Dr. Alex Karev: Yes, I did.
Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: Should we?… I mean, there’s a discussion that we could have… if you wanted to have one?
Dr. Alex Karev: Izzie, I kissed you, with tongue, and I plan to do it again and again – get used to it. End of discussion.
Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens: Ok.
Dr. Cristina Yang: It’s like candy, but with blood. Which is so much better!
Dr. Alex Karev: For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can’t get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can’t cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don’t want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it’s everything.


It really was real, you and me. Just a couple
of kids but we really loved eachother.
