George O'Malley quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Meredith

[brushing off Derek] I'm a sink with an open drain. Anything you say runs right out! There is no enough! [Storms off]

George

She probably could have picked a better metaphor.

Izzie

Give her a break, she's got a hangover.

George

Paging Dr. Karev-ian [laughter]

Bailey

What did you just say?

George

Ah-it, it's a joke, Kevorkian, Karev-ian...Alex Karev?

Bailey

I get the joke. I just don't think it's funny. You see this O'Malley? I make one mistake with this scalpel and this man's dead. My husband, he makes mistakes at his job all the time. As far as I know he's never killed anyone but I have. And YOU WILL. And Alex did. He made a math mistake and a man died for it. Run that past your accountant - see how he'd feel if every mistake he made, someone ended up dead. You don't have to like Alex, you don't have to care about him, but you damn well have to be on his side.

Meredith

Such a good dog! Who's Mommy's good boy? You're such a good boy. [Turns and looks at Izzie and George] What are you guys doing in there, we're gonna be late.

George

We need to talk about the dog.

Izzie

That's not a dog, it's a hyena that escaped from the zoo, dressed in dog clothing.

George

Whatever. I don't chew up his clothes. I don't urinate on his bed. I don't try to mount him from behind.

Meredith

People, he's our dog. We love our dog. He loves us.

Izzie

He tries to mount you from behind?

George

He tries to.

George

[after Meredith and Izzie climb into his bed] What happened today?

Izzie

Nothing.

Meredith

Nothing.

George

Okay.

Izzie

We don't know everything about each other, George.

Meredith

Yeah.

George

True. [pause] Anybody want to have sex?

George

Dr. Bailey, I can see the top of his head. He's got a lot of hair. Oh, he's cute.

Bailey

O'Malley!

George

Yeah?

Bailey

Stop looking at my vah-jay-jay!

George

[looking away] Yes, ma'am.

George

Why is he suturing his own face?

Cristina

To turn me on.

Alex

Because he's Mark Sloan, he's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the east coast.

George

That's the guy Addison was sleeping with?

Izzie

You can't really blame her, can you?

Cristina

No, not really.

George

Yes, you can.

Meredith

McSexy wants an X-ray to check for fractures and I think it's a bad idea if I take him.

George

Why? Why?

Alex

I'm on it.

George

Why's it a bad idea?

Cristina

McSexy?

Meredith

No?

Izzie

McYummy?

No.

Meredith

McSteamy.

Cristina

Aw, there it is.

Izzie

Yep.

George

Just choking back some... McVomit.

Izzie

You know when you don't have sex for a while, you sorta forget how good it is, and you don't really need it as much?

George

Yeah, that doesn't happen to guys.

Izzie

It's like a beast, a beast that was asleep, for a long, long time, and now the beast is wide awake and wants to be fed and the food, that Alex gave it, was... It was good food George.

George

Something needs to be done about your taste.

George

Really? I guess I just think I believe in Karma. You know I mean good people deserve good things. At least that's how I thought the universe worked.

Cristina

How can you think that and practice medicine?

George

Why... I'm not saying that everybody who gets sick or everybody who dies is bad. I'm just saying that, uh, I think that there's a balance. Or there should be balance! I should...there should be some sort of balance. That's...

Burke

Good god, O'Malley, what the hell did Grey do to you?

Alex

All right. So you slept with O'Malley. Get over it already.

Meredith

He told you?

Alex

Uh, no. [Laughs] I was just kidding! I means it's not like I should be surprised.

Meredith

Why not?

Alex

Because when your life is sucky, you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It's your thing. Whatever. I find it charming.

Meredith

You sleep with inappropriate women when you're sober.

Alex

One inappropriate woman. And Izzie forgave me for that. O'Malley is not going to get over this.

Meredith

Izzie hasn't forgiven you!

Alex

Yes, she has. We're together.

Meredith

No you're not. Izzie may be sleeping with you, but she'll never see you the way she saw you before you slept with Olivia.

Alex

Why are you trying to piss me off?

Meredith

You're trying to suggest that it's forgivable for you to sleep with Olivia, but not forgivable for me to sleep with George.

George

You told him?!

Meredith

George!

George

Wow, when I'm wrong about someone.

Meredith

No, I...

George

I am REALLY wrong!

Meredith

No, George! It's not... it's not what you think!

Alex

Dude! Chill!

George

You chill! You chill! I'm not... I'm not going to chill.

Meredith

George, I...

Izzie

What's going on?

Alex

The fetus is freaking out.

Izzie

I can see that! Why are freaking out?

George

You think someone is your friend. [Cristina walks in] You know? And you think at the very least you'd respect my privacy!

Cristina

What's going on?

Alex

Baby boy is freaking out.

Izzie

She can see that.

Cristina

I can see that.

Why is he freaking out?

Meredith

George, can we at least talk?

George

I don't want to talk! Not to you! I wanted to keep my mouth shut. And if you hadn't been running away from me every time you see me, you would know that!

Meredith

Okay, you're right, but can we just talk now?

George

You want to talk now, because you told everyone that we had sex!

Izzie

You had sex?

Cristina

You had sex with George?

George

You didn't tell them?

Meredith

No.

George

DAMMIT! [trips and falls down stairwell]

Cristina

Great. No blood, no guts, no lives to save. It's dead quiet.

Bailey

Uh, did you really just say that?

Izzie

Cristina!

Cristina

What?

George

You said the "q" word.

Izzie

That's like saying Macbeth in the theatre.

Cristina

Please. You think because someone says its quiet that'll mean---

Cristina

Can anyone spell coincidence?

Izzie

Make her seize? How do we make someone have a seizure?

Derek

Well do your research, get creative.

George

But if all the normal methods have failed then... what are we supposed to do?

Derek

Use a strobe-light, get her drunk, hang her from the ceiling upside down and hit her with a wiffle bat for all I care, okay? Just make her seize, because until she seizes I don't know what to operate. And if I don't know what to operate, I can't get this woman out of my life. And this woman is now how I like to start my mornings.

Cristina

People! What's with all the evil misery? Huh? Live, and let live.

George

You're cheerful.

Cristina

Oh.

Izzie

You are. How is that possible?

Cristina

I scrubbed in on a four hour paraesophageal last night, then I got laid. And now three ambulances are coming in full of bloody, broken car crash victims, all who need to be cut open. So I'm cheery, I'm cheery, I am so cheery! I'm cheery! I'm cheerful!

Meredith

Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive.

George

Family...

Cristina

Love...

Izzie

Sex.

Derek

But we only need one thing...

Burke

To actually be alive.

Cristina

We need a beating heart.

Addison

When our heart is threatened...

Alex

We respond in one of two ways.

George

We either run...

Derek

Or...

Izzie

We attack.

Webber

There's a scientific term for this:

Alex

Fight...

Addison

Or flight.

Bailey

It's instinct...

Meredith

We can't control it.

Izzie

Or can we?

George

What happened?

I didn't know what to do. I didn't think you guys would want me to go to the chief, but...

Cristina

Where is she?

She's in there with him.

Cristina

Izzie...

Izzie

I think it was a stroke. He was prone to blood clots. A clot could have formed on his sutures, traveled to his brain, it only takes a second.

Meredith

Izz...

Izzie

Dr. Hahn did a beautiful job on the surgery. But I don't know why I didn't think of blood clots. He died all alone. He was alone.

George

There is nothing you could have done.

Izzie

I changed my dress three times. I wanted to look nice. I would have been here sooner. But I couldn't figure out which dress to wear.

George

Izzie, we shouldn't be in here.

Meredith

Izz, there are things that they need, they need to move him.

Izzie

Take him to the morgue.

Cristina

You can't stay here, I know you want to...

Izzie

Can you please, please, just get out? I want to be alone with Denny.

Alex

Izzie, that's not Denny.

Izzie

Shut up.

Alex

Izz, it's not Denny. The minute his heart stopped beating he stopped being Denny. Now I know you love him, but he also loved you. And a guy that loves you like that, he doesn't want you to do this to yourself. Because it's not Denny, not anymore.

Izzie

An hour ago he was proposing. And now... and now he's going to the morgue. Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't it the most ridiculous piece of crap you've ever...

Meredith

[pause, glances around] Why are you all looking at me?

Cristina

Well, this is familiar territory for you.

Meredith

There is nothing familiar abut this! Unfamiliar! Denny died. The man she loves, died.

Cristina

Yeah, but you're all dark and twisty inside.

Meredith

Dark and twisty?

Cristina

What, with the Alzheimers thing and the father you don't talk to.

Alex

And the tequila thing and the inappropriate men thing.

George

You are dark and twisty inside, Meredith, and now Izzie is dark and twisty inside.

Meredith

So all of a sudden I'm the president of people with crappy lives?
