“Shake Your Groove Thing” quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Meredith

[voiceover] Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was, like, if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast? Being an adult? Totally overrated. I mean, seriously, don't be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Adulthood is responsibility.

George

Who else did you invite?

Cristina

Izzie, we said the list was jocks only. Surgery, Trauma, Plastics. Who else?

Izzie

Just some people from Peds.

Cristina

You invited the preschoolers to Meredith’s house? The next thing you’ll say is you invited the shrinks.

Cristina

She invited mental defects. This party’s DOA.

Dr. Grey made a huge error.

Burke

And she reported it.

Too late. And in front of the patient's husband.

Burke

But she reported it. She spoke up. Five years ago, as a CT fellow, I had a nagging feeling that I didn't check the body cavity of a lung patient closely enough before I closed. The patient seemed fine post-op and I was in a hurry. And yesterday, you and Dr. Bailey pulled a towel out from under that patient's lung. Why didn't I report it at the appropriate time? Maybe because I was afraid that I would be called into a meeting where some hospital lawyer's fear of liability could end my career. Even great doctors make mistakes. And when we do, we've got to have a chance to be able to speak up without fear of retribution. Or everyone suffers. Dr. Grey spoke up.

Meredith

[voiceover] Responsibility, it really does suck. Unfortunately, once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided. Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences. And still adulthood has it perks. I mean the shoes, the sex, the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. That's, pretty damn good.
