Chief: So, how you feeling, Preston? You ready?
Burke: Well, I'm always ready for surgery.
Derek: I think he's talking about the wedding.
Richard: Yah, tomorrow's a big day.
Burke: And apart from the fact that Cristina hasn't written her vows, my best man just cancelled, and it's still raining.
Derek: He's not ready.
Richard: You're never ready. I certainly wasn't. And then, the minute I saw Adele coming down that aisle... Well. Have you picked your best man?
Burke: Actually, Chief...
Derek: You can't be his best man!
Richard: Why not?
Derek: It's unethical; it's a conflict of interest. The man wants to be Chief of Surgery.
Burke: Actually, Derek...
Derek: Not that that's why you're asking...
Burke: I was going to ask you.
Derek: Ask me what? [pauses] Oh! Really?
Burke: We have been through a lot this year.
Derek: And everybody else turned you down. Alright, what do I have to do?
Richard: Well, traditionally, the best man plans the bachelor party.
Derek: Drinks at Joe's after work.
Burke: I knew you were the man for the job.

Mark: The bachelor party was short handed. Which explains why I'm here.
Addison: I'm the only woman here. Am I supposed to the be the entertainment? Because I'm not stripping.
Derek: [referring to himself and Mark] That's all right, we've all seen it before.
Mark: True.
Burke: I haven't.

Izzie: You don't have to do this. You don't have to transfer to Mercy West
George: Yeah, I do
Izzie: No. Just forget about you and me for a second. What about Meredith? What about Alex and Christina? Who's gonna hold us together if you're not here? You're the glue. You're George.
George: I can't stay here.
Izzie: No one's making you go.
George: I can't stay here and see you everyday, and I... I can't keep kissing you in elevators.
Izzie: I know, I know that.
George: I'm married... I'm a married man.

Chief: You're not to blame for Susan Grey's death and you know that, and your father knows it too. He's just... Well, he's never been the best communicator. And he just lost his wife.
Meredith: Stop acting like my surrogate father.
Chief: Meredith I'm, uhm...
Meredith: Just because you slept with my mother... That does not make you my father!

Addison: I am being stalked by pregnant women.
Callie: You're an obstetrician.

Addison: It's a great time. I won't let me and my fossilised eggs discourage you.
Callie: We're gonna be friends still if I get pregnant?
Addison: Absolutely not!
[Both grin]

Meredith: If you called me here to lecture me...
Chief: There's a copy of the interns' exam on the table. And a number two pencil and a bottle of water and a sandwich if you get hungry. I assigned a proctor and I will come back in a few hours to check on you.
[The Chief starts to leave]
Meredith: You're not my father.
[He stops immediately and looks at her]
Chief: I know that.
[They exchange a look, then he pulls her into a hug. Relieved, she sinks in his arms and starts to cry]
Chief: I know.

Cristina: What am I supposed to say? "I swear to love and cherish you every moment of everyday of my life?" I mean, th-th-that's not real. I mean, that's not how it works, right?
Callie: It does, at first, but then it...
Meredith: It passes.
Izzie: No it doesn't. You guys are just used to it, that's all. You already have it, you have that thing everybody else wants. You can take it for granted, but let me tell you, if you didn't - if you couldn't be with the person that you love, I garantee that hearing him promise you, love you and honor you and cherish you, no matter what, it would be pretty much all you could think about.
Cristina: Wait, can you say that again? Just slowly.
Meredith: You're talking about Denny right?
Izzy: Right.
