[about Leah] Can Webber really rehire her? I mean, I am on the board.
What is the problem? We needed a new resident, and she's a good one.
Robbins slept with her.
So did Alex.
If you go there, be careful. She gets attached.

I didn't promise the impossible. Yeah, I overstepped, and I'm overstepping again and pissing you off, and I don't care. Go on, get mad at me, but don't take it out on the patient. Just give her a freaking chance.
When I tell you to know your place, know your damn place.

I already have an expiration date. Aren't we past a little worried about some risks?
If we did this, if we could remove the tumor and keep your pregnancy intact, by the time you deliver, the cancer will have still grown unchecked for six months. It'd be too far along by then for us to treat it. I mean, you would literally be sacrificing your own life for your child's.

I can see it, you know.
See what?

Jeremy pushing our kid in the swing, touching his toes when they're in the sky. And the baby thinks it's so funny. I can see them growing older together, getting to the good stuff. Jeremy showing him "Star Wars" for the first time. "Episode IV," 'cause you can't start anywhere else. High school, college, his first apartment. Jeremy's there, and he's the best dad. I picture that, and all this crap is for something. A happy ending. I die, but there's something good still. There's something good to see. I picture it your way, and everything goes black. There's nothing. Only death. If this is the only chance that my baby has to survive, I am not looking for a guarantee. I'm looking for a chance.
I had a baby. A baby boy. I had a son. Had? When I was living in L.A. He was born with anencephaly but... without a brain. So he lived for, um... 43 minutes. And I held him. I got to hold him. And then it was time. And he was... He donated all of his organs. And then I let him go. And it almost killed me.
I didn't know.
No, you wouldn't. I never told my family. Not Derek, not Meredith. No one. I haven't told Owen all of it. And I don't think I can. He wants a family so bad. How do I tell him that... He won't look at me the same way.
Are you kidding?
He's gonna hate me.
I don't think so. It's Hunt.
I took a pregnancy test last night. I thought I might... And, uh, as I sat there waiting for the result, I just watched him get more and more excited. He wanted it so badly. And the longer I sat there, the more I felt like I was dying. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move. And when that stick was negative, Owen's heart broke. And I was so relieved. I could breathe again. See. Now look me in the eye and tell me that he won't hate me.
[closing voice-over] When someone you love is in physical danger, finding the strength you need to save them is easy. But sometimes the threat isn't physical. Sometimes, it goes deeper, in which case, no instincts can save you. No superhuman strength, no adrenaline rush. You can't power your way out of the crashing car. All you can do is sit and wait and wish things were different.
S13 E7Why Try to Change Me Now
[opening voice-over] If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The saying's as true of the human body as it is of a washing machine or a blender. A good surgeon knows that if you go screwing around with something that doesn't need screwing, you are the one who is liable to end up screwed.
This is because of me, isn't it? They're gonna overhaul the program because I beat up DeLuca.
Everything isn't about you. That doesn't even make sense.
A teacher beat up a student.
Oh. That makes sense.
You made a mistake.
I'm sorry?
I am great, and your little list or whatever the hell that is, that should have my name on it 'cause I raise great surgeons, and I will raise more. Fetal surgery is a very exclusive practice, and there are hardly any of us. I am like a rare, exotic bird, and if you stop me from teaching, I may be the last of my kind.
What list?
From the room... the residents. You left it there.
Oh. I was just trying to learn everyone's name. Writing it down helps me remember.
Oh. Oh, great. So you don't... You don't need to remember my name?
Arizona Robbins? That name attached to that face? No, that's not one you forget.
[to Bailey] You should know they'll hate you, the staff. It happens everywhere I go. Everyone hates the agent of change. I'm used to it, I'm good at it, but you should be prepared that they'll hate you, too, for bringing me on. Also, if I take the job, I work alone. I like Dr. Webber, respect the hell out of him, but if I come on, I don't share authority. I am the authority.
[closing voice-over] It's hard to admit when we're wrong, but even though everything looks fine, there's a problem. Something is broken and you have to see where it's broken and set about fixing it or it's all gonna come apart.
S13 E8The Room Where It Happens
[opening voice-over] There’s this family in Italy, who never slept. They suffered from a genetic disease that kept them awake, for months. Until their bodies just shut down. Even after all these years, scientists still don’t really know why we sleep. We just know we have to sleep, because without it, we make poor decisions, we say things we shouldn’t, and sometimes, we see things that aren’t there.
[about Webber] What is he doing?
He likes to teach. When he's pissed, he really likes to teach.
We need to discuss the options.
No we don't.
Why not?
Because you also have the Chief of General Surgery in here, Dr. Webber, and I outrank you.
[Meredith remembering about telling her kids that Derek died]
Where's Daddy? Is he here?
Remember Daddy was driving in his car?
Yeah, is he coming home soon?
No, he was in an accident.
Oh. Well, is he hurt?
He was.
Are the doctors fixing him? Is he going to surgery?
No, they can't fix him.
Then you should go in there and fix him.
Zola...
You fix everyone.
Zola, I can't fix him.
Why?
I can't fix him because... because no one can fix him... because he's dead, Zola. Daddy died.
Have you always done that with your mother?
I didn't used to. Back then, I was trained to depersonalize the patient. Tissue was tissue, faces were covered, and blood was a mess on the floor. We were to stay focused, and our hands were just inside mannequins.
So, what changed?
One afternoon, I was in the OR, and we lost a patient on the table, and I went along to inform the family, you know, tell them the horrible news, and I was numb. I watched them sob and hold each other and it didn't affect me, at all. That patient died from the same thing my mother died from, and I was a robot. After that, I started changing the rules, and it made me a better surgeon.
You've saved her now, about 1,000 times.
I suppose.
