Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Episode 8: "Let It Be" Quotes

Meredith: I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself.
George: You mean, the pigeons aren't going to come?
Meredith: The pigeons aren't going to come.

[narrating] "Mrs. Snyder explained to me that when fate comes into play, choice sometimes goes out the window. Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and then their time passed. If they could have known that beforehand, maybe it all would have been okay. I told Mrs. Snyder that when I was grown up, I'd take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Mrs. Snyder said that I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone, and if I did, we'd be together forever. Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending... most of the time. And sometimes, despite all your best intentions, fate wins anyway."

MEREDITH

ALEX: "Here's the thing... I like your rack."
IZZIE: "God, what is wrong with you? Why do you have to be so... what is wrong with you?"
ALEX: "I like your rack and I'd want them around if I could have them, trust me I would, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you got rid of them... because really, I want you."
[Izzie slaps him]
ALEX: "Ow! What was that for?"
[Izzie kisses him]

MEREDITH: "I miss you."
DEREK: [pauses, whispers] "I can't."

GEORGE: "This office couldn't be farther away."
DAISY: "We don't like sick people."
GEORGE: "Okay... you do realize you're in a hospital?"

PRESTON: "I guess we never really got our date."
CRISTINA: [smiles] "Are you kidding? That was the best date I've ever been on."

SAVANNAH: "I want my life. This gives me a shot, a shot at me and Weiss becoming this old wrinkled couple who argue all the time. Wouldn't you want that? A chance to grow old with Derek?"
ADDISON: [pauses] "Yeah. Yeah, I do."

"I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life... I think you have to save yourself."

MEREDITH

[to Weiss] "Am I out of my mind, man? I mean, you tell me. Savvy didn't cheat on you with your best friend. She needs you for support. If you can't give that to her... then what the hell am I doing?"

DEREK

MIRANDA: "I'm pregnant, you blind moron."
RICHARD: "You’re what?"
MIRANDA: My heart rate is 110, I’m burning 3,000 calories a day, my legs are swollen, I've got indigestion and gas. Did you know carrying a boy in your uterus means you burn 10 percent more calories than if you had a girl? Guess what I’m carrying. I tried for seven damn years and a month before my fellowship notifications the stick turns blue. Men. From the very beginning they just suck the life right out of you. I’m not leaving. I’m pregnant."

[to Meredith] "You haven't told her yet? Okay, I didn't hear you say that. You are her doctor. It is your responsibility to give your patients the information necessary to make an informed decision. Now. I'm hungry, I'm tired, and you're in my way."

MIRANDA

PRESTON: "Dr. Yang, you're handling the saw."
CRISTINA: "You won't let me pick the wine, but this you'll let me do?"

Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Episode 8 Quotes

PRESTON: "So... it's date night."
CRISTINA: "Yeah, it's a night... with a date."

MEREDITH: [narrating] "For extra credit, Mrs. Snyder used to make us act out all the parts. Sal Scafarillo was Romeo. As fate would have it, I was Juliet. Most of the girls were green with envy. I wasn't. I told Ms. Snyder that Juliet was an idiot. For one thing, she falls for the one guy she knows she can't have... Everyone thinks it's so romantic: Romeo and Juliet, true love... how sad. If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink a bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum, then she deserved everything she got."
