Cristina Yang quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Cristina

How's, uh Derek liking maternity leave?

Meredith

He's on paternity leave.

Cristina

Yeah, okay.

Meredith

We have a deal. I don't work. Neither does he. It's working out well.

Callie

I live in your house. You're bored out of your minds. [Cristina looks at her] Yeah, they've got all this pent-up surgical energy and now everything's a competition.

Meredith

I have a career and a family, and I'm going to do both. What I don't have time for is for you to tell me that I can't.

Cristina

I never said that.

Meredith

You know, I was always there for you, for whatever you needed, and now this is when I need you, and you're supposed to help me. And instead, last week you pushed me aside because I had a baby. You don't have time for me now? Because you don't have time for people who want things that you don't want.

Cristina

Did more come in?

Meredith

No it's slowing down, what are you still doing here? What time is your flight?

Cristina

I can't leave Mer, they just bombed Seattle.

Meredith

No they didn't, no one did, it was an accident. Gas-made. So no different than a train derailment or a ferry boat crash. So you can go.

Cristina

When I heard it was the mall, you know what I thought of? I thought of that time me and Callie played hooky and we bought all the furniture for the fire house.

Meredith

What time is your plane?

Cristina

Two hours, but Link has got a heart and I have to do that first.

Meredith

No you don't, the new head of cardio can do that, you don't have the time.. plus you'll have to re scrub so there's that! [touching Cristina's clean arms]

Cristina

Meredith!

Meredith

You have been stalling for two weeks!

Cristina

I have to finish something here. Nothing feels finished. None of it feels finished. Owen and I, we split over something that hasn't even happened, and we never even split up. And you and I are not finished, George is dead and Izzie is gone, and it's supposed to be me, you, and Alex, and now nothing is finished. I am not finished!

Meredith

You don't feel finished because this isn't the end for you. There is no finish line, there is no end point. You just have to go.

Cristina

I know, I know. and I keep trying to but I don't know how to just do it. You gotta help me Mer.

Meredith

Let's go. Okay?

Cristina

Okay.
