[voiceover] We live out our lives on the surgical unit. Seven Days a week, fourteen hours a day, we're together more than we are apart. After a while, the ways of residency becomes the ways of life. Number one : Always keep score. Number two: do whatever you can to outsmart the other guy. Number three: Don't make friends with the enemy. Oh, yeah, Number four: Everything, everything is a competition. Whoever said winning wasn't everything ... Never held a scalpel.

[to Cristina and Meredith] This is the men's room. Either whip one out, or close the door.
They're everywhere. All the time. Izzie's all perky and George does this thing where he's helpful and considerate. They share food, and they say things, and they move things, and they breathe. Ugh, they're like, happy.
Kick them out.
I can't kick them out, they just moved in. I asked them to move in.
So what, you're just going to repress everything in some deep, dark, twisted place until one day you snap and kill them?
Yep.
This is why we are friends.
Oh, that kills you, doesn't it?
What?
That two women got the harvest.
No, it kills me that anybody got the harvest, but me. Boobs do not factor into this equation. Unless you want to show me yours.
I'm going to become a lesbian.
Me too.
[voiceover] There's another way to survive this competition. A way no one ever seems to tell you about. One you have to learn for yourself. Number five: It's not about the race at all. There are no winners or losers. Victories are counted by the number of lives saved. [...] And once in a while, if you're smart, the life you save could be your own.
