TV show quotes
I can't believe he walked in with a knife in his head and is walking out an hour later to go to a ball game.
Speaking of which. [holds out tickets] Any chance you wanna go to the game too? Apparently Karev didn't want his floor seats. So are you interested?
Actually, yes. Yes, I am.
[voiceover] An hour, one hour, can change everything forever. An hour can save your life. An hour can change your life. An hour can change your mind. Sometimes an hour is just a gift we give ourselves. For some, an hour can mean almost nothing. For others, an hour makes all the difference in the world. But in the end, it's still just an hour. One of many. Many more to come. Sixty minutes. Thirty-six hundred seconds. That's it. Then it starts all over again. And who knows what the next hour might hold.
[voiceover] Everyone figures doctors are the most responsible people they know. They hold lives in their hands. They're not flakes. They don't lose track of important details or make stunningly bad judgment calls. 'Cause that would be bad, right?
It always feels like there is just one person in this world to love. And then you find somebody else, and it just seems crazy that you were ever worried in the first place.
Just wanted to make sure you were alright.
Ricky's not, that's for sure. I told Julia that she'd find somebody else, but I'm not sure I believed it.
Ah, she will.
But what if he's...
...her soulmate? You've gotta be kidding me with this crap, Lexie. Nobody has just one soulmate. That'd be such a dumb system. Look, Ricky and Julia deserve better than someone who makes them sick. You deserve better, too. And there is more than one soulmate for everyone. I mean, someone like you, there'd be a line out the door as soon as word got out.
[smiles] Oh, would you be in the line?
Yeah, I'm in the line.
[Lexie is in the shower with Jackson, April comes in, not knowing Jackson's in there]
Okay, um... Stark... Stark just asked me out. Isn't that the weirdest thing you've ever heard?
It's pretty weird, I'll give you that, yeah.
(hysterically) It's weird, it's weird. I mean, he's old and mean, he's like the Grinch. The Grinch asked me for dinner and I said yes. [giggles]
You said yes?!
I mean, there is a nice man under there.
Ap-April...
You think it's weird.
I- I do, but I'm starting to come around to it. You know, can we talk about it later?
Y-Yeah, okay. Can I pee before I go?
April, go downstairs.
This is shared space.
Go downstairs! [April leaves, screen shows Lexie covering Jackson's mouth, who is obviously trying not to laugh]
[voiceover] We are responsible with our patients. The problem is we blow it all out at work. In our own lives, we can't think things through. We don't make the sound choice. We did that all day at the hospital. When it comes to ourselves, we've got nothing left. And is it worth it—being responsible? Because if you take your vitamins and pay your taxes and never cut the line, the universe still gives you people to love and then lets them slip through your fingers like water, and then what have you got? Vitamins and nothing.
[opening voiceover] Renegades, rule-breakers, gangsters with scalpels, this is the way we like to think of ourselves. It makes us feel bad-ass, sexy. Problem is, it's not exactly true. At heart, we're rule-followers, sheep. We don't break protocol. We follow it to a tee. Because if we don't follow protocol, our patients die and we're no longer bad ass, we're just bad.
Your BP is borderline high. Are you feeling okay?
Oh, yeah, no. That's the nerves about the baby shower. Yeah, it's like Christmas morning.
You are way too excited about this.
Hey, I have bought expensive gifts and played stupid games for every knocked up nurse in this place. Now it's my turn. [to Lucy] You're coming, right? [Lucy looks surprised] Arizona, you invite the OB. The fate of my vagina's in her hands.
Yeah, um... 1 pm. Fourth floor doctor's lounge.
I'll see if I can make it. [Callie glares] I'll make it.
You need to pick chief resident already. I mean, Alex Karev is living in a trailer in the hospital parking lot. Residents are waiting for you outside bathrooms...
Karev's living in the parking lot?
Y'know, your trial is up and running, and you've got things to deal with at home. You don't need to be picking a new chief resident, too. Let somebody else handle that. Delegate.
Okay, I'd like you to.
No. I raised those babies. What I mean is, delegate to someone else... who is not me.
[after Callie gets a text] We've been gone all of ten minutes what could Mark possibly want?
[laughs, and reads the message] Oooh. Oh, yeah, okay this is bad. He found out Lexie is with Avery and he's freaking. [Callie goes to type a reply, Arizona takes her phone and throws it in the backseat] Oh, what the hell?
What? Th-This is time for us. It's just for us. And the first thing you wanna do is talk to Mark.
You just said it was okay. Okay, you know what? Oh, screw it. [takes off her seat belt and climbs in back to get her phone]
What are you doing?
I'm gonna talk to him.
Don't you dare call me.
This is jealously, Arizona. You are jealous of Mark. Get over it.
Do you blame me? I mean he gets most of you. The straight you, the Catholic you, the girl who loves baby showers. I just get, you know, the gay you, which is really only about twenty minutes a night... Not even. Since you just feel too fat to even let me touch you lately.
Look, I am doing my best here to make sure that you are happy, and that Mark is happy and that the tiny person growing inside me is happy. I don't know what else I can do to be honest. Please tell me. Cause I'll do it. Whatever will make you happy, I will do it.
[pauses] Marry me.
[laughs] What?
I mean, it. I love you more than anything but I want more. I want commitments, I want rings, so, marry me.
[closing voiceover] It's every doctor's dilemma. Do you play it safe and follow protocol? Or take a risk and invent a new one? There can be reward in risk. There can also be fallout. Still you need to book the system every once in a while. Bet big. And when you get the results you want, there's no better feeling in the world, but when you don't.
[opening voiceover] After a trauma, your body is at its most vulnerable. Response time is critical. So you're suddenly surrounded by people, doctors, nurses, specialists, technicians; surgery is a team sport. Everyone pushing for the finish line. Putting you back together again. But surgery is a trauma in and of itself, and once it's over, the real healing begins. We call it recovery. Recovery is not a team sport. It's a solitary distance run. It's long. It's exhausting. And it's lonely as hell.
Hey, it's healing pretty well. Maybe in a couple days you can try sitting up by yourself.
Let's try now.
Can't rush it.
Why'd I get you? Why aren't you cutting out hearts somewhere?
Well, Altman and I had a falling out over your ventricular septal defect, actually. I'm giving her some space. Okay, you're good. You need anything?
I need to see my baby.
She's mostly tubes and wires. And she looks more like a chicken than a baby. Like a featherless, beakless chicken. You want to wait until she's cuter.
You're the worst godmother ever.
You picked me.
[Alex is handing out folders]
What's this?
What's this? It's your kid, your African kid.
Oh, that's happening?
Today?
Tonight. The first group gets here tonight. I've been telling you this all week. Look, each of you gets your own kid. Some of them will be traveling with family, a few of them are orphans, so you are in charge of your kid, alright? You're like their ambassador. [hands a folder to Cristina, but takes it back] Wait, you can't have her. You'd be awful to her. [Lexie laughs] Okay, him. [hands her another folder] No. Yes, him.
He's melting down.
Trainwreck.
Evil spawn is now Mother Teresa.
