Riggs quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Owen

How's Kepner doing?

Maggie

What do you mean how's Kepner doing? She's a turncoat.

Owen

But she's also a friend.

Arizona

Yes, she's a friend. She's a poor, misguided, very confused friend. It's like you found out that your friend voted wrong.

Owen

Can you vote wrong?

[simultaneously] Yes. Absolutely. Yeah!

Maggie

I just, schizophrenia is a difficult disease, but with treatment it can be helped.

Riggs

What do you mean?

Maggie

Well I just don't get it? I would just be happy that she's alive. How is this not a happy ending?

Riggs

You're right. You don't get it.

Maggie

I want to.

Riggs

They gave up on her. They just buried an empty box in the ground and moved on. They had lattes, saw movies. They just lived their lives, and all the while their daughter was out there walking around in the rain, in pain and alone. And they'll never forgive themselves for that. They shouldn't.

Riggs

[Sighs] You, too, huh?

Meredith

Excuse me?

Riggs

You’re looking for a place to hide so you can get five minutes alone without someone new asking for a consult. I just had a lady in row 27 ask for a mole check.

Meredith

[Laughs]

Riggs

[Sighs] How’s it going with your dentist friend? You guys seem pretty chummy.

Meredith

You’re one to talk.

Riggs

Hmm?

Meredith

How long were you wrapping your flight attendant’s arm?

Riggs

Oh, her name’s Candace.

Meredith

Mm.

Riggs

It’s what I do when I board a plane. I always ask the crews their name. It’s a respect thing.

Meredith

Oh.

Riggs

Also, it usually gets me free drinks.

Meredith

Ah.

Riggs

What was your plans crash like?

Meredith

I told you. It was bad.

Riggs

I know, but what was it like?

Meredith

Uh. It was cold. So cold. Even being numb was cold. I could not warm up. You know, they call us the Seattle Grace Five. There were six of us that went up, and only five of us came back. And now there are only three of us alive. My sister died out there.

Riggs

You-You have another sister?

Meredith

Mm-hmm. My kid sister Lexie. I loved her. [Inhales deeply] Anyway, it's weird. Sometimes I feel like I'm cursed. A lot of people die around me. Sometimes I feel like I'm just waiting for my turn.

Riggs

I’m sorry about your sister. Hmm. It makes sense now.

Meredith

What does?

Riggs

The way you feel about Maggie… How you wanna protect her. I mean, I get it better.

Meredith

Well there’s nothing to get.

Riggs

I mean, it makes sense, you know, all the self-sacrifice. You don’t want to lose this one, too.

Meredith

Is it so crazy that I would put someone else’s happiness before mine?

Riggs

No, but, I mean, it’s not completely practical in the long run. I mean, at some point, you have to think about the things that are gonna make you happy, too.

Meredith

And you think you’re it?

Riggs

Well, you haven’t exactly been backing away from me.

Meredith

I told you — what happened in the bathroom —

Riggs

I’m not just talking about the damn bathroom.

Meredith

Then what?

Riggs

For months now. Look — You try to stay away. Maybe you even want to stay away. But you don’t. You never do. A week ago, you called it quits. An hour ago, we’re having sex in the bathroom.

Meredith

Will you stop it, please?

Riggs

I will respect whatever up decide, okay? But don’t sit here and pretend that you don’t want this thing between you and me as much as I do.

Meredith

I am married

Riggs

You just treated a bloke's brain bleed with a cocktail straw! You're so fearless about so many things. How the hell are you still scared?

Meredith

I'm not scared. I'm making a choice. I'm prioritizing my family, my sister.

Riggs

Please, don't pretend this is still about Pierce, it's not. You're scared.

Meredith

Of what?

Riggs

Of him. Of letting him go.
