Stephanie quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Stephanie

I spent my whole life in hospitals. My whole life and I think I need to see everything that's not in a hospital. I need to travel and explore and hike and breathe, and breathe, and breathe.

Stephanie

Just finished an craniotomy with Dr. Shepherd.

Shane

Shepherd or Shepherdess?

Stephanie

Shepherdess.

Amelia

"Shepherdess"? Really?

Shane

Uh, sorry. It's just very confusing.

Amelia

I kind of like it, Shepherdess.

Stephanie

Oh, well, before, it was just "Shepherd's little sister."

Amelia

Edwards, do you like working on neuro? Don't ever say that to me again.

Jo

I'm a widow. She widowed me. I'll never have Alex to myself again.

Stephanie

Her best friend just left yesterday, okay? She needs someone to talk to. You are overreacting.

Jo

She kicked me out of my own bed in the middle of the night, while I was naked, and he let her.

Stephanie

Okay. So, you're screwed.

Jo

He's in the shower, and she's in the bathroom with him while he's in the shower.

Stephanie

So, go in there with them.

Jo

No! I am not going in there.

Stephanie

You're the girlfriend.

Jo

No. Yeah, I am, but I'm not. They're this little team together. They are war buddies, and I don't fit. And then they look at me... Well, she looks at me... like I'm just the stupid, naked girl in Alex's bed.

Stephanie

So go be the stupid, naked girl in Alex's shower.

Jo

I am a doctor. I am a surgeon. I deserve respect.

Stephanie

You're a girl in her pajamas with her ear to the door of a bathroom. How much respect can anyone give you right now?

Stephanie

I wished horrible things for them, Jo. Jackson left me for her, and I wished them misery and fights and breakups. I mean, I'd see them sitting together in the cafeteria, and I'd wish them food poisoning. Then I found this.

Jo

You would never have wished them this. You know that. If you hadn't have found it, somebody else would have. It wouldn't have changed anything. It's not on you. If anything, it just means that you're a good doctor.

Stephanie

Okay. I'm gonna go make a blind man see.

Arizona

Wilson just barged in and stole my shower. Edwards, does she always walk around naked?

Stephanie

Not around the hospital, generally.

Arizona

It's like "residents gone wild"!

Stephanie

Have you called your brother?

Amelia

What did I say about my brother?

Stephanie

I know. You don't need him. I was just thinking you could, just to have someone to bounce these ideas off of who understands this kind of thing the way that you do, a peer. He might have a suggestion.

Amelia

I do not need my brother! I am not stuck! I am thinking! I am figuring it out! I am right on the edge of figuring it out, of making the breakthrough of a lifetime! I am this close! My genius is flying around this room right now, trying to find a clear path to land on me, but I can't clear the runway for landing because I can't find any quiet because some idiot resident keeps talking to me! (sees Stephanie is hurt.) I shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean it. I'm tired, and I'm frustrated. I... I am so sorry. I just... This tumor is making me crazy, Edwards.

Stephanie

As bad as you want to get that tumor, that's as bad as I want to watch you get that tumor. You're tired and frustrated and terrified, but guess what. I don't give a damn. You're supposed to be my mentor. You are my mentor. I believe in you, I look up to you, I want to be you. That's an enormous responsibility, so don't call me names. And stop pouting because you don't understand what to do. Be worthy of being believed in, of being looked up to. Or if you can't actually be worthy, if I am actually wasting my time, if there is nothing about you that is special or wise, for God's sake, at least have the decency to pretend that there is. Get it together, Dr. Shepherd.

Miranda

Bribery, Edwards? You think bribery is an appropriate standard of practice in this hospital, bribing for surgeries?

Stephanie

I don't know what you're talking about.

Miranda

You tried to bribe your way onto that surgery down there.

Stephanie

Warren. Sleeping with the enemy.

Miranda

You demean yourself, and you demean medicine.

Stephanie

I'm sorry. And it doesn't matter, anyway. It didn't work.

Miranda

$50? $50. Do you know how much a full ear replantation would have gone for in my day? $100, easy. $120, even, plus two weeks of night call. You add in inflation, you should have offered him $175, at least. $50. We can't even go to dinner for $50.

Stephanie

You are kind of a legend with the interns and residents.

Arizona

Go on.

Stephanie

You're one of the Seattle Grace Five.

Arizona

I survived a plane crash. Uh, big deal.

Stephanie

And a car crash. And a shooting. You might be immortal. You mastered one of the most exclusive specialties basically overnight, and then you took Herman's job and her eyesight.

Arizona

Okay, that's... that's just...

Stephanie

You have screwed dozens of interns, and you got them all fired. You speak really fast, like superhuman fast. You have a weird name.

Arizona

You know, that's not true. That's not true. I only slept with one intern, and I have an awesome name! I mean, like what man, what? What else? I mean what do people have a problem with the fact that I have one leg. I mean, do people actually go there and talk crap about a one-legged woman? Because that is just discrimination against amputees.

Stephanie

They say you have two legs and you are only pretending one is amputated. For the parking space.

Ben

I actually loved high school.

Stephanie

I bet. Everybody loved high school in the '50s.
