Addison quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Addison

[to Derek] I put you in a tiny box. After the divorce, I made you petty and inconsequential and nothing special so that you could fit into this tiny little box that would help me get out of bed in the morning. But now, now I have to take you out of the box because I need to believe that, uh, you can do this. That you can save my brother. I need you to be a god. Just today be a god.

Derek

[he sees Addison] Meredith, I am so sorry. [Addison walks over] Addison. What are you doing here?

Addison

Well you'd know if you'd bothered to return any one of my phone calls. [she turns to Meredith] Hi. I'm Addison Shepherd.

Meredith

Shepherd?

Addison

And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband.

Webber

Leave me alone. I've been sitting home for a week, watching Oprah give away things on TV. Oprah, Derek! You clear me now or I'll hurt you.

Derek

If you want me to clear you so soon maybe you should've thought of that before you gave chief to Burke and invited Satan to Seattle.

Webber

Satan?

Addison

Good morning. Richard, like the hat.

Derek

Satan speaks.

Addison

Actually I prefer to be called ruler of all that is evil. [Richard laughs] But I will answer to Satan.

Addison

Well isn't this cozy. Can I join in or are you not in to threesomes?

Meredith

I have to go.

Derek

Meredith... [To Addison] You really are Satan, you realise that right? If Satan were to take physical form he'd be you, everywhere ... all the time.

Addison

I'm so not Satan.

Derek

How come you haven't gotten on your broomstick and gone back to New York where you belong?

Addison

Stop being petty.

Derek

Stop being an adulterous bitch.

Addison

You know you are going to forgive me eventually, right? I mean you can't just... I mean there was a time when you thought of me as your best friend—

Derek

There was a time where I thought you were the love of my life. Things change.

Addison

Derek, have you ever thought that even if I am Satan and an adulterous bitch that I still might be the love of your life?

Addison

So, have you made a decision yet, Dr. Stevens?

Izzie

I'm sorry?

Addison

Whether or not you're going to hate me. You're Meredith's friend? I'm the wicked witch who came in and ruined her life and cheated on Doctor... wait, what is it that you guys call him?

Izzie

McDreamy...

Addison

Right. God, doesn't that embarrass him?

Izzie

Yeah, I think it does.

Addison

Yeah, well, by all rights you should hate me.

Izzie

I guess.

Addison

Except that I'm going to be staying in town for a while.

Izzie

You are?

Addison

Yes, and you show a real gift with my specialty. And I have a lot to teach, if you want to learn. So.

Izzie

So?

Addison

So, when you decide how important it is for you to hate me... let me know.

Addison

Well, it is Christmas. Christmas, Derek, we love Christmas. At least we used to.

Derek

[pauses] Christmas makes you want to be with people you love. [pauses] I'm not saying this to hurt you, or because I want to leave you, because I don't. Meredith wasn't a fling. She wasn't revenge. I fell in love with her. That doesn't go away because I decided to stay with you.

Derek

[to Addison] There is a land called Passive Agressiva, and you are their queen.

Addison

I am fine.

Derek

Except when you're shrieking about trout.

Addison

I was not shrieking about trout.

Derek

You're right, you weren't. You were shrieking about Meredith.

Addison

No, I was shrieking about the trailer. I hate the trailer.

Derek

Oh, okay so the past three weeks have been about the trailer.

Addison

Yes.

Derek

Not about the fact that I said I love Meredith.

Addison

Loved.

Derek

What?

Addison

You said you loved her, past tense.

Derek

Right, yes, past tense.

Addison

Well, then I have been shrieking about the trailer.

Webber

Punching out people on my surgical floor! My head of neurosurgery punching out people on my surgical floor!

Addison

Put the ice pack on your hand.

Derek

My hand is fine!

Webber

Put the damn ice on your two million dollar a year hand! Now, would someone tell me what the hell happened?

Addison

That was Mark.

Webber

Who's Mark?

Addison

He and Derek used to work together back in New York. And, um, they, we, were all close friends. Until Derek found us in bed together.

Webber

Did you put your weight behind it?

Derek

Yes sir.

Webber

Well, all right then.

Derek

Juju.

Addison

Yep.

Derek

You juju'ed Meredith.

Addison

I did, in the spirit of friendship.

Derek

Hmmm.

Addison

What, are we not being friends with Meredith anymore?

Derek

No, no, we are. Meredith and I are friends.

Addison

And you and I are married. So then by proxy, Meredith and I are friends.

Derek

That's very big of you.

Addison

Yeah.

Derek

You don't have to do that. It’s not like I'm going to be friends with... let's say... Mark.

Addison

Yeah, well, neither am I. Now finish your juju before somebody else dies.

Derek

What do you want from me, Addison?

Addison

I want you to care. I sleep with your best friend, and you walk away. He comes out here from New York and rubs it in your face, and still you get a good night's sleep. What do I have to do? Oh, I know. Maybe what I should do is go out on a date with the vet because that seems to be something that sends you into a blind rage. Oh but wait, that won't work either because I'm not Meredith Grey!

Addison

I know what you're going to say Richard, but if you knew the day that I had.

Webber

Everybody in this hospital has those days, Addison and no one makes a scene in front of their peers. Get it together. Addison...

Addison

I can't compete. He's not having an affair. He's not trying to hurt me. He's just...huh. [laughs] The only people who don't know that Derek loves Meredith are Derek and Meredith. How do I compete with that?

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?

Bailey

Never would have figured Mark Sloan to be your type.

Addison

He's not... he's not... What is he doing here? He's NOT supposed to be here. I can't have him here, I can't... he's supposed to be in New York. I can't... I can't function with him here. I'm a professional here, people respect me here, but when he's here I'm just... I'm...

Bailey

A woman who gets the hots for man candy and cheats on her husband.

Addison

That is rude. And unkind. And completely true. Oh my God, what am I gonna do?

Bailey

For starters, you can keep your knees closed in his presence.

Addison

Miranda!

Bailey

You asked. And also, you can remember, that no man, not Derek, not Mark, defines who you are.

Izzie

Hey, you're Addison Forbes Montgomery-Shepherd. That's a lot of names, a lot of rich-sounding names. You're rich, right? That's rude. That's a rude question. I'm sorry. It's just I'm rich now too.

George

You're not rich until you deposit the check.

Izzie

Do you ever feel guilty?

Addison

I'm sorry?

Izzie

Being rich. 'Cause I have all this money now and I don't really feel like I did anything to deserve it and I can't really talk to my friends about it because they're all so poor.

George

Standing right here, Izzie.

Addison

Deposit the check, Stevens. Just start there, ok? And, um the guilt will work itself out.

Mark

There you are! What, did you go all the way to New York for my pastrami?

Alex

Extra spicy, extra lettuce, light on the mayo.

Addison

Mark, what are you doing?

Mark

Lunch. Want my pickle?

Addison

Seattle Grace is a teaching hospital, part of your job is to teach, your interns aren't your slaves.

Mark

Fine, no pickle for you!
