"Owner of a Lonely Heart"
Meredith: [voiceover] Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a simple question: they wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals. More precisely, the surgical wing of hospitals. As surgeons, we ignore our own needs so we can meet our patients' needs. We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people's friends and families. Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves. And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that.
Izzie: [about Alex] He's unbelievable. I'm so glad I never slept with him. Which is his loss. Because I'm really good in bed. Mind blowing. Mind-blowingly good in bed.
Cristina: Are you trying to seduce us?
Izzie: And he sleeps with Olivia, instead of me. Olivia?!
George: Hey, I slept with Olivia.
Izzie: Well, then you both have bad taste.
George: You know, you can't say that you weren't warned. Alex has always been Alex.
Meredith: You dodged a bullet, Iz. You're better off without him.
Cristina: Why are you even surprised? You sleep with a snake, you get bit.
Izzie: Thanks, guys. . . for the support.
[Cristina kicks Izzie awake.]
Izzie: Dammit, WHAT?!
Cristina: Hell hath no fury like a girl whose non-boyfriend screws a nurse.
Izzie: [under her breath] Bitch.
Cristina: I like you bitter and pissed off. You're almost like a normal person now.
Bailey: These are preemies, they were supposed to spend another 8 weeks in the womb. Just like interns, they're not ready for the real world.
Meredith: So, you're giving up your trailer.
Derek: I'm not giving up the trailer. Is Addison telling people that I'm giving up the trailer?
Meredith: It's just funny, I just never would have pegged you for that guy.
Derek: What guy?
Meredith: You know, the marble bath, private pool, gated community guy.
Derek: Don't peg me. I'm not peggable.
Meredith: You're pegged. Deal with it.
Bailey: [to one of the quints] How you doing', you? You know I'm having' a baby too, yes I am! A little boy! Maybe you could meet him someday! How's that sound, does that sound good? [Cristina walks in; stares] Pregnancy has not made me soft. I haven’t gone soft. I don't do soft.
Cristina: Of course not, just talking to a patient.
Izzie: [about Alex] I'm telling you, Meredith was all over him.
Cristina: Seriously, she was all over him? What, like mounting him, with all the babies watching? Seriously?
Izzie: Well, she would have been if I hadn't interrupted.
George: She was talking to him.
Izzie: You don't talk to bastards who cheat on their girlfriends, George. That's the rule.
George: You weren't officially his girlfriend.
Izzie: That's not the point.
George: It is kind of the point. You don't see me getting all emotional over people I'm not dating.
Izzie: Really?! You want to go there?!
[Ominous looks all around.]
George: No.
Izzie: I'M HAVING A MOMENT HERE. DON'T MESS WITH ME.
Cristina: You're not going to have a nervous breakdown and kill yourself, are you?
Izzie: No.
Cristina: So, there's no chance you'll kill us?
[Izzie storms out.]
George: OK, that was wrong on so many levels.
Izzie: When Derek broke up with you, I never once said that you were better off without him. It's not supportive, it's condescending. I was there for you, all I ever am is there for you guys, and the one time I need you? Just go away, Meredith.
Karl (Patient): [to George] But sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, they just can't love you back in the same way. Believe me, son. Living with a woman who can't love you back... way lonelier than being alone.
Meredith: [voiceover] Four hundred years ago, another well-known English guy had an opinion on being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone. Of course it was fancier when he said it. No man is an island entire unto himself. Boil down that island talk and he just meant that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone. And who's to say that someone can't have four legs. Someone to play with, or run around with, or just hang out.
