"The Heart of the Matter"
Meredith: [voiceover] In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, you are going to make mistakes. You’re going to hurt people. You’re going to get hurt. And if you ever want to recover... there’s really only one thing you can say.
Callie: I forgive you. You made a mistake. But we took vows, till dead pull us apart.
Meredith: We can do sex.
Derek: Ah! Now you're paying atention!
Meredith: Lexie is not that bad, is she?
Cristina: Oh. Are we not hating her anymore?
Meredith: No, we still hate the idea of her. We just realized we don't have a reason to hate the actual person.
Cristina: She's an intern. It's reason enough.
Meredith: I think you may be the new nazi.
Cristina: You're damn right.
Izzie: Now I know charting doesn't seem as exciting as surgery, but it is as important. Believe me when I tell you, penmanship saves lives!
Izzie: Is that a 7, or is that a 9? If I have to ask myself that in the middle of an emergency, your patient is dead. You killed him. With your handwriting. Think about that!
Callie: George told me.
Izzie: He told you?
Callie: Everything. Cafeteria. Noon. You and me. Be there.
Norman: I know, right! It's like, 'Seriously, you're an intern?' But it's seriously true! Seriously!
Norman: So he's the one you call McDreamy, McSleezy, Mc... --
Meredith: Norman, we have labs to deliver!
Norman: McSteamy! He's the one you girls call McSteamy!
Cristina: Are you aware that McDreamy and the other Grey are bonding? With their mutual 'Meredith Greyness'.
Meredith: I just had to tell a 48 years old woman she's going to die.
Cristina: Now you can talk to a 24 years old woman she's going to die.
Izzie: I slept with George. I know. I know I'm a terrible person. Which's why I'm gonna let her get one good punch in. Maybe two, I deserve it. No, one, then you pull her off me.
Alex: You slept with O'Malley?!
Izzie: Alex! You said you wouldn't say anything.
Alex: I won't. Believe me. This... I'm embarrassed for you.
Cristina: What's wrong with these interns? We weren't like this.
Meredith: We were great interns.
Cristina: I was great. You were, you're good.
Izzie: I'm just saying, I learned how to fight in a trailler park. Where did she learn to fight? Boarding school? Not quite the same thing. I'm a street fighter. There's some bad ass in me. I can take a girl down.
Bailey: People are stupid and just want to be loved. That's the only reason anyone does anything.
Chief [to niece, Camille]: My world is a better place with you in it.
Callie: You are the one who should be humiliated. You are the one who should be ashamed. You are the one who should... How you dare come to me for forgiveness, you traitorous bitch?
Meredith: So, I got Alex to cover for me so I can leave right after I round on my patients. 48 uninterrupted hours!
Derek: Yeah yeah... um... you know, maybe this is not a good weekend.
Meredith: What did Lexie say about me?
Derek: She didn't say anything. I did all the talking. Oh, don't blame her.
Meredith: So what, you're friends with my sister now? I mean, you talked to the other Grey about me?
Derek: You know what I talked about with the other Grey? All the things this Grey won't let me say.
Meredith: You can say anything to me.
Derek: I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I'm 110 years old, in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime.
[Meredith steps back a little]
Derek: See what happens? I say things like that, and you fight the urge to run in the opposite direction. It's ok. I understand. I didn't, but now I do. I do. You're just getting started and I've been doing this for a long time. Deep down, you're still an intern, and you're not ready.
Meredith: I'm not ready right now. But things can stay the way they are, and I can get ready. I'll get ready.
Derek: Things can't stay the way they are. We can still meet in the elevator, the on-call room. And maybe you'll get ready. And I'll wait. I'll wait until you're ready.
Meredith: Okay, then...
Derek: Yeah, but what if, what if while I'm waiting, I meet someone who is ready to give me what I want from you?
Meredith: What if you do?
Derek: I don't know...
Meredith: [voiceover] Forgive and forget. That's what they say. It's good advice, but it's not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled. Old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for is that one day we'll be lucky enough to forget.
