Eliza quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Eliza

[to Bailey] You should know they'll hate you, the staff. It happens everywhere I go. Everyone hates the agent of change. I'm used to it, I'm good at it, but you should be prepared that they'll hate you, too, for bringing me on. Also, if I take the job, I work alone. I like Dr. Webber, respect the hell out of him, but if I come on, I don't share authority. I am the authority.

Arizona

You made a mistake.

Eliza

I'm sorry?

Arizona

I am great, and your little list or whatever the hell that is, that should have my name on it 'cause I raise great surgeons, and I will raise more. Fetal surgery is a very exclusive practice, and there are hardly any of us. I am like a rare, exotic bird, and if you stop me from teaching, I may be the last of my kind.

Eliza

What list?

Arizona

From the room... the residents. You left it there.

Eliza

Oh. I was just trying to learn everyone's name. Writing it down helps me remember.

Arizona

Oh. Oh, great. So you don't... You don't need to remember my name?

Eliza

Arizona Robbins? That name attached to that face? No, that's not one you forget.

Ben

Why doesn't hockey just ban the fighting?

Eliza

Are you kidding? It's part of the game, the good part. You got to shake up the other team or get your own team going.

Richard

Garth is the enforcer. Now, his job is to go in and take out the skills player, upset the other team. Seems he's pretty good at it.

Eliza

Fights can be strategic, too. A fight can change momentum, clear the air, break a stalemate.

Richard

It also rallies the team against a common enemy.

Ben

Well, this is fascinating. And I thought I was just gonna learn about surgery.

Eliza

Oh, no, Dr. Warren, it's me who's being schooled tonight. Isn't that why you allowed me into an OR?

Richard

I just wanted to see how you deal with a Dr. Webber.

Eliza

You don't want to have this fight, sir. Someone always tries to, and they always get on board or get left behind.

Richard

You said fighting is the good part, right? Well, I hope you meant it.

Arizona

What the hell is wrong with you? She asked you a question she needed an answer!

Eliza

I know.

Arizona

What kind of teacher are you? You don't just teach what to do with their hands, you teach them what to do with this. How to live through this. You take it on yourself.

Eliza

I know.

Arizona

You don't! You are the attending. This is your loss. Okay? You take the hit. Because if you put it on her, she might quit. She might think that she can't survive it, so you show her that she can. You tell her that when this happened to me--

Eliza

It hasn't.

Arizona

What?

Eliza

I've never had a child die
