Grey's Anatomy quotes

Callie

[about her baby] She's not ready, no she can't leave. She's been watched by doctors twenty four hours a day...

Mark

She still willl.

Callie

Okay, well, her lungs. She could get RSV.

Arizona Robbins

Well, any kid could get...

Callie

She's not getting in a car. It's not safe.

Mark

Callie...

Callie

It's not safe. The last time she was in a car, she nearly died, we both nearly died. Get-- get her out of that thing. Give her to me, Mark. I'm- I'm not kidding, [crying] get- get her out of that thing.

Bailey

Callie... Callie... Okay, you're right. You are absolutely right. Cars are not safe for children. Okay, neither are bookcases or squirrels, strong winds, people who sneeze. They're all going to get your baby. But honey, you don't feel this way because you were in an accident. You feel this way because you are a parent. It'll pass... mostly. Some of it never will.

Meredith

[closing voiceover] The length of your recovery is determined by the extent of your injuries. And it's not always successful. No matter how hard we work at it. Some wounds might never fully heal. You might have to adjust to a whole new way of living. Things may have changed too radically to ever go back to what they were. You might not even recognize yourself. It's like you haven't recovered anything at all. You're a whole new person with a whole new life.

Meredith

[voiceover] Germs, disease, toxins, our bodies encounter dangers all the time, just beneath the surface, hidden. Whether you realize it or not, your body is constantly protecting itself. Every time you blink your eye, you wash away thousands of unwanted microbes. Breathe in too much unwanted pollen and you sneeze. The body knows when it's encountered something that doesn't belong. The body detects the invader, it releases its white blood cells, and it attacks.

Bailey

You realize your door is unlocked? I could be anyone. I could be a burglar coming to burglar you. Where's the baby? [Callie shows her the baby on the monitor, she smiles] Oh, I could be a baby-napper trying to baby-nap you.

Callie

I know why they sent you and it doesn't matter what you say, the wedding's still off. My mom's right, it's a joke. It's not a wedding, and it's not happening. I can't have a priest; I no longer have a minister. [sobs] I'm not being given away by my dad, the wedding isn't legal, what's the point? This isn't a wedding, it's not even in a church, it's nothing. It's a couple of girls playing dress up. It's not real, it's not real.

Bailey

[sighs] Okay, first of all, you do not need the law or a priest or your mother to make your wedding real. And the church can be anywhere you want it to be. In a field, on a mountain, right here in this room, anywhere because where do you think God is? Come on, He's in you. He's in me. Just right here, in the middle of us. Your church just hasn't caught up to God yet. Your mother, she hasn't caught up to God yet. And, by the way, she may not ever catch up, but it's okay. It's okay. If you are willing to stand up in front of your friends and your family, and God, and commit yourself to another human being to give yourself in that kind of partnership for better or worse in sickness and in health. Honey, that is a marriage. That is real, and that's all that matters. Besides, I got legally married to a man in a church. Look how well that turned out. [laughs]'

Applicants Grey and Shepherd...

Derek

That'd be us.

I need to see some ID. Okay, this seems to be in order, I'll jump right in. We are here today to participate in a marital union...

Bailey

...To celebrate love and happiness and loyalty, and in my opinion, a little bit of magic.

In the form and regulations of the state of Washington,

Bailey

To bring together two exceptional and beautiful human beings...

Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, join hands, and repeat after me. I, Derek Shepherd...

Derek

I, Derek Shepherd...

Arizona

I take you, Calliope Torres to be my wife.

Meredith

For better or for worse in good times and in bad...

Callie

I choose you to be the one whom I spend my life...

Arizona

I love you.

Callie

I love you.

Okay, you sign there, and you sign there. [they both sign] By these documents and according to the state law of Washington...

Bailey

Okay, I hereby pronounce you wife and wife. [Callie and Arizona kiss]

Congratulations.

Derek

Why, thank you.

Meredith

[voiceover] Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong.

Meredith

[voiceover] We've all heard the saying… It's one of those things we learned in 7th grade science class: "Adapt or die." Adapting isn't easy, though. You have to fight your competition, fend off their attacks. And sometimes, you have to kill. You do what you need to do to survive.

Meredith

[voiceover] Adapt or die. As many times as we've heard it, the lesson doesn't get easier. The problem is, we're human… we want more than just to survive. We want love. We want success. We want to be the best that we can be. So we fight like hell to get those things. Anything else feels like death.

Meredith

[voiceover] I always said I'd be happier alone. I'd have my work, my friends - but someone in your life all the time? More trouble than it's worth. Apparently, I got over it.

Meredith

[voiceover] There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love and then you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.

Meredith

[voiceover] Even good marriages fail. One minute you're standing on solid ground, the next minute- you're not. And there're always two versions. Yours, and theirs. The both versions start the same way though. The both start with two people falling in love. You think yours is the one that's gonna make it. So it always comes as a shock. The moment you realize it's over. One minute you're standing on solid ground, the next minute, you're not.

Teddy

Hey, you guys going to that breakfast thing?

Arizona

Uh, yeah after we drop her off at day care.

Teddy

Oh my, God. Look at her she is so beautiful. [in baby voice to Sofia] Hey, hey. You are beautiful. And you got the best mommies, did you know that? Yes, you do. Oh, you so do. [Sofia coos] Hello, hello, hello.

Callie

What's wrong with her?

Arizona

She's getting laid, she's unnaturally cheerful. [Lexie walks by with a group of interns]

Callie

Oh, new interns. I hate new interns.

Teddy

Seriously? I love new interns. They're the future, the next generation, filled with hope and promise, innovation.

Arizona

Wow. The sex with Henry must be really good.

Teddy

Earth-shattering. [Arizona covers Sofia's ears] Not even Yang is gonna get me down.

Meredith

Owen. She didn't have the abortion. She wants to but she can't do it because of you. Because she loves you and instead of loving her, you're punishing her. And for what? For being the woman that you fell in love with?

Owen

This isn't any of your business.

Meredith

Okay, do you know what will happen to Cristina if she has a kid that she doesn't want? It will almost kill her. Trying to pretend that she loves a kid as much as she loves surgery will almost kill her, and it'll almost kill your kid. Do you know what it's like to be raised by someone who didn't want you? I do. To know you stood in the way of your mother's career? I do. I was raised by a Cristina. My mother was a Cristina. And as the child she didn't want, I am telling you, don't do this to her, because she's kind and she cares and she won't make it. The guilt of resenting her own kid will eat her alive.

Meredith

I have a plan. I'm gonna be a mom.

Cristina

Okay. Mer, there's a giant sinkhole. Teddy is all over me. Don't page me unless you have a serious--

Meredith

Maybe getting fired was a good thing. What do cheerful people say when something crappy happens and they make it sound like it wasn't crappy?

Cristina

A blessing in disguise.

Meredith

Yeah. Maybe that's what this is. This is that. And I can make jam and drive carpool and have playgroups. And maybe that's enough. And maybe I'll be a great mom.

Cristina

Okay, okay. I'm gonna vomit call me when Meredith comes back.

Meredith

And maybe you wanna be a mom, too and that's why you can't go through with it.

Cristina

I wish I wanted a kid. I wish I wanted one so bad because then this would be easy. I would be happy. I'd have Owen and my life wouldn't be a mess, but I don't. I don't want a kid. I don't wanna make jam, I don't wanna carpool, and I really, really, don't wanna be a mother. I wanna be a surgeon. And please, get it. I need someone to get it. And I wish that person was Owen and that any minute he'd get it and show up for me. But that's not gonna happen. And you're my person, and I need you to be there at six o'clock tonight to hold my hand because I am scared, Mer, and sad because my husband doesn't get that. So, I need you to.

Meredith

[voiceover] Do you have what it takes? If your marriage is in trouble, can you weather the storm? When the ground gives way and your world collapses, maybe you just need to have faith. And trust that you can survive this together. Maybe you just need to hold on tight. And no matter what, don't let go.
