MIRANDA

"You think you’re gonna be different, you think you’re gonna be the one who stays and does something."

HANNAH

DYLAN: "Alright everybody. Let’s just keep placing one foot in front of the other. Nice and slow. Alright, Meredith? We’re almost there."

"Okay -- you know when you don't need to be made fun of? Like when you have your hand inside a body that's got a bomb in it and a stranger is Velcro-ing a flak jacket to your boobs."

MEREDITH

MEREDITH: "Stop it."
DYLAN: "What?"
MEREDITH: "Stop looking at me like I'm a patient."
DYLAN: "I'm sorry?"
MEREDITH: "The two of you are looking at me the way we look at patients. Like I’m gonna freak out at any minute. Well, I'm not going to freak out, so whatever it is, just tell me straight up."
PRESTON: [pauses] "The main oxygen line runs directly under this floor."
MEREDITH: "Okay. Not okay." [silence] "Well, I need one of you to tell me what this means exactly. Because I think I know what it means, but I tend to be glass half-empty these days, so I don’t trust what I think it means. Because what I think it means is that if the bomb were to explode over the oxygen line, the whole hospital could blow up. That’s just crazy right?"

GEORGE: "Dr. Montgomery Shepherd, what are we gonna do? I mean, about Dr. Bailey. Can we drug her?"
ADDISON: "Against her will?"
GEORGE: "No. Well. Yes. I mean, can't we force her to push? If, um... we declare her temporarily insane?"
ADDISON: "You want me to declare Miranda Bailey incompetent? You think that'll help? That it'll make her more inclined, more comfortable giving birth?"
GEORGE: "I don't know, that's why I'm asking you."
ADDISON: "Do you think I'm not doing everything I can to help her? Do you think I'm just out here because, I dunno, I'm feeling lazy, just need a little 'me' time?"
GEORGE: "I was just asking..."
ADDISON: "Stop asking! Because no matter what you ask, the answer is I don't know. I'm doing everything I can. Miranda Bailey's husband is in mortal danger. Actual mortal danger! But there's not a lot I can say to comfort her and there's not a lot anybody can say to comfort me. I'm doing my best. Dr. Bailey is doing her best. Now I need you to do your best, and I need it to be better than standing here asking me the world's stupidest questions. Because I don't know, O'Malley!"

DEREK: "I don't want to be the guy that killed Bailey's husband."
PRESTON: "I don't want to be the guy who kills us all."

ALEX: "Izz, It's gonna be okay."
IZZIE: You're just saying that."
ALEX: "I know. Hey, where are you going?"
IZZIE: "I can't just... I gotta do something to help. But thank you... thank you for saying it’s gonna be okay, even if that's just what you say."

Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Episode 17 Quotes

[narrating] "In hospitals, they say you know when you’re going to die. Some doctors say it’s a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there’s a scent, a certain smell. Some say it’s some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. If today were your last day on Earth? How would you spend it?"

MEREDITH

MEREDITH: "Hey."
DEREK: "Hey. You almost died today."
MEREDITH: "Yeah, I almost died today."
[pause]
MEREDITH: "I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was 'I'm going to die today' and I can't remember our last kiss. Which is pathetic but the last time we were together and happy... I want to be able remember that. And I can't, Derek. I can't remember."
DEREK: "I'm glad you didn't die today."
[pause]
DEREK: "It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little Dartmouth t-shirt you look so good in. The one with the hole at the back of the neck. You'd just washed you hair and smelled like some kind of... flower. I was running late for surgery, you said you were going to see me later, and you lean to me, put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. You know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. Then you went back reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed."
