Meredith Grey quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Meredith

I was going to tell you and then your mother died and then I just couldn't. I didn't want to hurt you and Nathan didn't want to hurt you

Maggie

No, this isn't about Nathan, it's you. I trusted you, to be honest with me. When you and my mother lied to me and now she's dead.

Meredith

Hey, it's me, do you want a giant tumor?

Amelia

Why would I want that?

Meredith

It's the one from my wall that Derek drew. I thought you might like it. It's in the hall.

Amelia

Is she cleaning?

Maggie

At 3:30?

Amelia

Derek is dead. Maggie is fine. There is nothing in your way but you. Let yourself have this.

Meredith

Look at you being the sane one.

Amelia

Moments. I have moments.

Meredith

Ok, so, remember the dream where they come back to us?

Nathan

Hm.

Meredith

Derek forgets his keys and Megan goes for...

Nathan

For coffee? Yeah. What about it?

Meredith

Nathan, they found Megan. She's alive.

Nathan

That's not funny.

Meredith

They already called Owen this morning.

Nathan

That's not funny.

Nathan

Megan's alive?

Meredith

Megan's alive.

Nathan

I'm sorry.

Meredith

Don't do that. Don't apologize.

Meredith

When I slept with George, it had everything to do with Derek.

Alex

I still can’t believe you did that.

Meredith

Okay, we are too old to be having this conversation.

Bailey

I don’t want to stuff my feet into these shoes. When Webber became chief, he did not have to fiddle around on sticks all day. When Hunt became chief, he did not have to squeeze five toes into a space built for two. But I became chief and I can’t wear my perfectly comfortable surgical clogs anymore. Any you know why?

Ben

Society?

Bailey

S...Society.

Meredith

[voice over] As surgeons, we try to eliminate pain. As humans, we just try like hell to avoid it. When we can’t avoid pain, we try to understand it… with pithy little quotes that we can wrap our head around… like “Suffering is optional,” or “Time heals all wounds,” and my personal favorite, “Every pain has a purpose.” God, I hope that one’s true.

Meredith

What is all this stuff?

Zola

You’re gonna have to talk to Alex.

Meredith

You’re perfect. And Alex is wrong. And mommy needs a minute

Maggie

[to Zola] She’s still grumpy, huh?

Jo

Okay, um, so, what would you do now if you were me?

Meredith

Oh. I would, um, be proud of myself.

Jo

Okay, that’s not what I was-

Meredith

I’m proud of you, Wilson.

Jo

Okay

Richard

Um, is everything alright, Dr. Wilson?

Jo

Dr. Grey is creeping me out!

Amelia

I’ve got five viability studies going. I need to know if I should start making panic-based decisions.

Alex

Five? I don’t even have one.

Meredith

You don’t?

Alex

What’s yours?

Meredith

Shut up

Meredith

And what are you not going to do?

Not find you.

Meredith

Or?

Mention this to Kepner.

Meredith

Correct.

Secret club!

Jo

Oh, my God.

Meredith

So who’s in charge of the patient?

His daughter. That’s who you’re meeting with today.

Meredith

What do we know about the daughter?

I can't find anything online, but you look amazing in that dress.

Meredith

Excuse me?

Maggie

I’m just- I’m a little distracted today.

Meredith

You just buttered the kitchen towel and your shirt is on inside out.

Maggie

What?

Meredith

Hey, I need you to postpone this morning’s colectomy. And Helm, I need a favor.

You didn’t call me Hellmouth. What’s wrong? Who died?

Meredith

The cookies had marijuana in them.

WHAT?!

Meredith

Yes, I didn’t want to scare you.

Jackson

So you went with rat poison?

Arizona

You scared me to death!

Jo

You knew they had weed in them.

Arizona

Right. Yeah. I-I forgot.
