Owen Hunt quotes from Grey&#039;s Anatomy

The wife's here, of the beating victim. She ID'd her husband, so she wanted to take-

Owen

What's his name? I wondered if you asked her her husband's name so that he would become a person to you. They're all people, Yang. This is not a game or a contest or a competition to see who gets surgeries and who doesn't. They're people and we get to save them. Now you're good. You're excellent and you can win all the contests. But if that's why you're doing this then you shouldn't be. Did you find out his name?

[closes the door and sits down in front of Owen] My dad died when I was nine. In a car accident, I was with him in the car. While we waited for the ambulance, I tried to keep his chest closed, so he wouldn't bleed so much. When he died, my hands felt his heart stop beating. That's why I do this. It's also why I win all the contests. The patient's name is Tom. [leaves]

My gut? I'm not putting a patient's life in the hands of a novice surgeon based on my gut.

Owen

Well, it worked for me.

Huh, I bet.

Owen

It's what told me to choose you.

Owen

Seems like you're short of a friend today, so I thought I'd fill in.

Whatever. Colleagues aren't friends, they're competitors.

S5 E11 Wish You Were Here

View quote →

She said a thing about babies. Like babies are a totally ordinary idea. She's not afraid, she's ready.

When are you gonna do it?

Do what?

Shepherd's proposing.

No kidding? Outstanding! How're you gonna do it?

I don't know. Just decided.

Owen

Morning.

Shepherd's proposing.

Owen

Congratulations, that's a big step.

Thank you very much. [to Mark] You just gonna tell everybody now?

You need advice. Hunt, you ever proposed before?

Owen

Uh sorry I'm... not the guy to ask. When are you gonna do it?

[Meredith approaches]

Well more importantly how am I gonna do it?

:[sees Meredith, coughs] So, what do you use, like a twist drill for that?

[Webber leaves]

Well not if you don't want a partial, pridal hematoma!

[Derek, Mark and Owen do big fake laugh]

[confused] Hi... [walks away]

S5 E14 Beat Your Heart Out

View quote →

Nice work today? Seriously?

Owen

I'm sorry?

'Run to my truck.' You've got O'Malley clipping bleeders and you're telling me to run to your truck.

Owen

You know what my truck looks like. O'Malley doesn't. And that- that run you took, it saved a guy's life.

Yeah, well, all day... all day you were teaching O'Malley and you ignored me.

Owen

O'Malley wants to be a trauma surgeon. You've already declared cardio. I didn't do anything wrong today. I treated you like I would anyone else.

No, not like anyone else. 'Take care now.' What is that? What are you, like, you know, happy now? What- what are you? You know, just a "choke 'em and forget 'em" kinda guy? [Owen hands her a card] "Hey there now. Take care now. Nice work, Yang." What is this?

Owen

It's my shrink. My shrink gave me these sentences. We, uh, we came up with them together. They're all 3-word sentences so I'd have something to say to you instead of the three words that are... that are killing me. The three words that you know I feel but I can't say them, because it would be cruel to say them because I am no good for you. I don't want to torture you. I don't want to look at you longingly when I know I can't be with you. So, yeah, I'm smiling and I'm saying 'take care now.' I'm letting you off the hook. I'm trying. I'm trying so hard to let you off the hook. I'm trying to make it right, what I did to you. Can't you see that? I'm just trying to make it right.

Take care now.

He wrote in my hand

LBLexie, Bailey, Hunt, Cristina, Shepherd, Sloan, Callie, Webber

What do you mean he wrote in your hand?

He just grabbed my hand, and he squeezed it and he wrote with his finger.

He wrote with his finger?

You know in my hand, he wrote 007.

[grabs Meredith's hand and proceeds to write on it using her finger] Okay, what did I write?

Joe?

N! I did not write JOE!

Are you serious!

You mean this might not be O'Malley?

This is funny.

Did anybody try to phone O'Malleyf? Can we get him on the phone?

[Everybody retrieves their cell phones and start calling]

I'm telling you he squeezed my hand.

[hushes Meredith] Shut it! You don't get to talk anymore! You don't get to talk ever again!

I could have sworn it was George.

S6 E1 Good Mourning

Lexie

[voiceover] Grief may be a thing we all have in common, but it looks different on everyone.

It isn't just death we have to grieve. It's life. It's loss. It's change.

And when we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes, has to hurt so bad. The thing we gotta try to remember is that it can turn on a dime.

Izzie

That's how you stay alive. When it hurts so much you can't breathe, that's how you survive.

By remembering that one day, somehow, impossibly, you won't feel this way. It won't hurt this much.

Grief comes in its own time for everyone, in its own way.

Owen

So the best we can do, the best anyone can do, is try for honesty.

The really crappy thing, the very worst part of grief is that you can't control it.

Arizona

The best we can do is try to let ourselves feel it when it comes.

Callie

And let it go when we can.

The very worst part is that the minute you think you're past it, it starts all over again.

And always, every time, it takes your breath away.

There are five stages of grief. They look different on all of us, but there are always five.

Denial.

Anger.

Bargaining.

Depression.

Acceptance.

What is wrong with you?

Owen

You.

Me?

Owen

Yeah you. You come over here... why did you tell me this now?!

Why do you even care?

Owen

You didn't say a thing. All those times, all those years. So why now?

I don't know.

Owen

You don't know?!

I don't know, I don't-what does it matter to you, you never felt the same way-

Owen

Of course I did! Of course I did, I had all those feelings for you Teddy for years, but you never gave me anything.

You were engaged, you were engaged, you were engaged you idiot! [spoken at the same time as below line]

Owen

You never gave for years! You never gave me one damn hint!

You idiot. I have loved you... forever. I have loved you when I was coupled up. I have loved you when I was single. I have loved you every second of every day...

Owen

Teddy...

I love you. I'm in love with you.

Owen

I'm in love with Cristina.

Where have you been? You just disappeared. I left you, like, ten messages. Are you drunk? [Owen grabs her and kisses her, she pulls away] Wait, what? What? What?

Owen

You make me sad. You think that surgery is going to make you feel... you think that a successful career is gonna make you happy. You think you know things; you know things and nothing else matters. No one else matters. People do matter. I matter. We... we matter. So you don't get to toss me aside. I won't let you.

Owen

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

My patient deserves a doctor.

Owen

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

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

[running a simulation] Sir! You said the helicopter was gonna be here hours ago, And it's not here, and I'm not complaining, but where is it?

Hunt

Well, the rain's still pretty bad. Probably got caught in a hail storm.

[Intern Steve approaches with index card update on "patient's" condition]

No! No! I know what that card is gonna say. It's gonna say he has cardiac tamponade with associated hypotension and bradycardia, but he can't, 'cause I already did a pericardiocentesis and bolused with IV fluids.

SSteve

She's right. What do I do? Do I ...

Karev! Grab his feet. [Karev goes to grab Steve's feet] The patient! Come on!

Owen

Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is awesome! [helping to load dummy onto ambulance]

Owen

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you think you're doing? This ambulance is not in play.

Oh, you're just making stuff up, which I can do too! And I say it is in play. Can't fit nine patients on an ambulance, but two will fit just fine. Seven of my patients may have died today, but these two won't! 'Cause I'm gonna get them on this ambulance, and I'm gonna take 'em to that hospital right there!

Alright!

Owen

Kepner, this ambulance was involved in the accident and no longer runs.

There are keys in the ignition, so let's see. Looks like I got triple-A. Ha! Apparently they could get here when the helicopter couldn't. Now MOVE! Or I will run you down!

Owen

[to Alex] Go. Let's go. [They run to hospital entrance. Ambulance pulls up]

John Doe, multiple chest and extremity trauma. Still hypotensive despite two large-bore IVs started in the field.

Owen

All right, Kepner. That's enough.

We need a full workup and likely a thoracotomy. [walks into hospital carrying dummy over her shoulder] I suspect active bleeding in the chest.
