Cristina Yang quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Meredith

[to Mr. Clark] Shoot me.

Cristina

Meredith.

Meredith

You want justice right? Your wife died, I know what happened. Derek told me the story. Lexie Grey is the one that pulled the plug on your wife, she's my sister. Dr. Webber, he was your wife's doctor. I'm the closest thing he has to a daughter. And the man on the table, I'm his wife. If you wanna hurt them, the way that you hurt, shoot me. I'm your eye for an eye.

Cristina

Meredith!

Meredith

You tell Derek that I love him and that I'm sorry.

Cristina

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. She's pregnant. You wouldn't shoot a woman who's pregnant. Please.

Meredith

What are we picking?

Cristina

Dress color. I'm not wearing white, it's sexist and vaguely racist. No white, no vail, no rice.

Meredith

Well, what would your mother say?

Cristina

No mother.

Meredith

Cristina. Cristina!

Cristina

I can't be in here. I can't.

Meredith

Okay so let's go, let's get out of here.

Cristina

I can't... I can't feel anything.

Meredith

I know, I know. Come with me.

Cristina

No, no, I can't move. I can't move my legs. I can't, I can't feel anything.

Meredith

Uh, feel my hand, take my hand. Do you feel that?

Cristina

Uhuh.

Meredith

Okay. You're okay. We're gonna go when you're ready. Okay? So you tell me when you're ready. Okay?

Mark

[introducing Amelia to Cristina and Meredith] Amy, Amelia, is also a neurosurgeon.

Cristina

Another one? You Shepherds grow them like weeds.

Meredith

I need you to take my blood.

Cristina

For what?

Meredith

So I can get tested for the Alzheimer's gene. I mean it's time I know one way or the other, right? I have a hostile uterus. What's a little Alzheimer's too?

Cristina

Alright. This is a lot bigger than a baby step.

Meredith

Just do it before I change my mind.

Cristina

Okay.

Owen

I like the dark blue scrubs on you. You look good. You okay?

Cristina

My patient deserves a doctor.

Owen

You don't have to cut, nobody's asked you to...

Cristina

I know what's being asked of me and I'm doing it.

Cristina

Do you wanna get a drink?

Meredith

Yeah, I do. I mean, not a real drink actually, because I'm trying to get pregnant and supposedly alcohol will make my baby have three heads and sixteen toes.

Cristina

Umm, wanna get some crack cocaine?

Cristina

It's like court-ordered community service.

Meredith

I'd rather be picking up trash off the side of the highway.

Cristina

Hey, it's healing pretty well. Maybe in a couple days you can try sitting up by yourself.

Callie

Let's try now.

Cristina

Can't rush it.

Callie

Why'd I get you? Why aren't you cutting out hearts somewhere?

Cristina

Well, Altman and I had a falling out over your ventricular septal defect, actually. I'm giving her some space. Okay, you're good. You need anything?

Callie

I need to see my baby.

Cristina

She's mostly tubes and wires. And she looks more like a chicken than a baby. Like a featherless, beakless chicken. You want to wait until she's cuter.

Callie

You're the worst godmother ever.

Cristina

You picked me.

Jackson

What's this?

Alex

What's this? It's your kid, your African kid.

Cristina

Oh, that's happening?

Jackson

Today?

Alex

Tonight. The first group gets here tonight. I've been telling you this all week. Look, each of you gets your own kid. Some of them will be traveling with family, a few of them are orphans, so you are in charge of your kid, alright? You're like their ambassador. [hands a folder to Cristina, but takes it back] Wait, you can't have her. You'd be awful to her. [Lexie laughs] Okay, him. [hands her another folder] No. Yes, him.

Lexie Grey

He's melting down.

Jackson

Trainwreck.

Cristina

Evil spawn is now Mother Teresa.

Meredith

I have a plan. I'm gonna be a mom.

Cristina

Okay. Mer, there's a giant sinkhole. Teddy is all over me. Don't page me unless you have a serious--

Meredith

Maybe getting fired was a good thing. What do cheerful people say when something crappy happens and they make it sound like it wasn't crappy?

Cristina

A blessing in disguise.

Meredith

Yeah. Maybe that's what this is. This is that. And I can make jam and drive carpool and have playgroups. And maybe that's enough. And maybe I'll be a great mom.

Cristina

Okay, okay. I'm gonna vomit call me when Meredith comes back.

Meredith

And maybe you wanna be a mom, too and that's why you can't go through with it.

Cristina

I wish I wanted a kid. I wish I wanted one so bad because then this would be easy. I would be happy. I'd have Owen and my life wouldn't be a mess, but I don't. I don't want a kid. I don't wanna make jam, I don't wanna carpool, and I really, really, don't wanna be a mother. I wanna be a surgeon. And please, get it. I need someone to get it. And I wish that person was Owen and that any minute he'd get it and show up for me. But that's not gonna happen. And you're my person, and I need you to be there at six o'clock tonight to hold my hand because I am scared, Mer, and sad because my husband doesn't get that. So, I need you to.

Meredith

I think I stole a baby.

Cristina

Okay, first of all, you didn't steal the baby, she's your baby. What you did is... You took her for a nap... in a very odd location and you failed to answer your phone. But y'know, many people find all the technology in our lives to be intrusive, so you're not the first person who didn't answer your phone or your pager. You know, all we have to do is- is find a reason why you were AWOL for an hour.

Meredith

Four... hours. [Cristina glares] Janet was gonna take the baby so I took off.

Cristina

Okay, okay. You know, people make mistakes. I mean, I almost killed Alex in the OR today, so we'll just figure it out.

Meredith

How?

Cristina

I don't know.

Meredith

No, how'd you almost kill Alex?

Cristina

With a cc of epi. [Meredith looks shocked] Ah, y'know, whatever. He'll be fine. Just uh-- stay here. I'll fix this.

Meredith

What are you gonna do?

Cristina

I'm gonna fix it.

Catherine

Congratulations, we have our winners.

Cristina

Uh, he's (about Jackson) your son and you're the judge, isn't there some rule against that?

Catherine

I don't play favorites, dear. Nepotism is for the weak.

Jackson

That's what my birthday card has always said.

Cristina

I give up. I have no idea what you're trying to do. I'm in trouble if I cut, I'm in trouble if I don't cut. I'm a fifth year who does the work of an intern. What do you want?

Teddy

I want you to make a list.

Cristina

[laughs] Where? On a blackboard? 'I will not do any surgeries without a safety helmet.' Hmm.

Teddy

I want you to make a list of every surgery that you have ever dreamed of performing. Shoot for the moon and I will try to get you some. [Cristina stays silent] Because we're done. You've graduated, this is your present.

Cristina

You're messing with me.

Teddy

Okay, you know, at the beginning of this year, you nearly killed Alex Karev in that O.R because you just had to get in there. You had to be the best and you had to be first. But today? Today I saw a different surgeon. Every bit as good, every bit as advanced, but you were willing to work on a team. Today you put the patient before yourself and that is who I wanted to see. So... you're done. Make a list.

Owen

I just want to say how proud I am of all of you. You are an incredible team.

Cristina

[to Bailey] Now who's drunk?

Owen

I've watched you work together, solve problems together, I've watched you teach each other and learn from each other. You step up when you need to and you... you do more than anyone asks you to. You're the finest team I've ever been a part of.

Mark

Oh, my God.

Alex

Sad.

Webber

Beautiful.

Callie

You don't think we have a shot at winning this.

Owen

What this? This. No, no, we're screwed. You are all horrible at softball but... [they all laugh] As doctors, you're pretty great and I'm proud to just to get to lead you. And you're all here so I just... I just wanted to tell you. But, now, we're going down. But what do you say we go down fighting? [they all cheer]
