"The First Cut is the Deepest"
Meredith: [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’s 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.
Bailey: 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 whiny. 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 Freakin' Poppins.
Bailey: [to Cristina] An intern was reassigned so he's mine now. Have him shadow you for the day; show him how I do things.
Alex: Alex Karev, nice to meet you.
Cristina: The pig who called Meredith a nurse. I hate you on principle.
Alex: And you're the pushy, overbearing kiss ass. I hate you too.
Cristina: Oh, this should be fun then.
Cristina: What are you doing?
Meredith: Oh, you know, just sitting here with my penis.
Meredith: So the crap crime scene guy can't get out here till tomorrow. So I get to spend the night with my penis! Alex, don’t say it-
Alex: Aw, it was too easy anyway.
George: Who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing?
[Everyone raises their hands]
Burke: Anything you say in the next 30 seconds is free...starting right now.
Bailey: I think you’re cocky. Arrogant. Bossy and pushy. You also have a God complex and don’t think of anybody but your damn self.
Burke: But I-
Bailey: But what? I still have 22 seconds and I’m not done.
Derek: So we're kissing but we're not dating?
Meredith: I knew that was going to come up.
Derek: Don't get me wrong: I like the kissing. I'm all for the kissing. More kissing, I say.
Meredith: I have no idea what that was about.
Derek: Is it going to happen again? Let me know next time. I'll bring breath mints. Put a condom in my wallet.
Meredith: Shut up now.
Meredith: [voiceover] 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.
