[voice over] The painful irony for doctors, is that we often have to make you sicker in order to heal you. If a bone has unevenly, we have to re-break it. If a scar is too thick, we have to scrape it off, and create a new wound. We break you down to rebuild you.
S14 E1Break Down The House
My husband's sister came back from the dead and my brother didn't, so sleep is not really my thing now.
You think you’re gonna handle it?
Handle it? I’m a freaking WARRIOR QUEEN!
I’m not a big believer in inoperable. God, yes. Unicorns, possibly. Inoperable, no.
Then start hunting unicorns. Your chances are better.
You don’t hunt unicorns? What’s the matter with you?
[voice over] We go to medical school because we want to learn how to fix what’s broken. But we quickly learn we have to make things worse before we make things better. It’s risky, and it’s frightening for surgeons, and for patients, but it’s usually worth it. You get a second chance at life, and we get to be the architects at your second chance. It’s a win-win… when it works.
S14 E2Get Off on the Pain
[voice over]: There’s a saying we hear a lot around hospitals… that goes like this – “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” But I doubt the person who coined it ever went through major surgery. Or maybe they didn’t mean physical pain. Maybe they meant the other kind, the worse kind. Maybe they meant the kind of searing, seething, boiling pain that tells you you’re a failure and a fraud. “Suffering is optional.” That person didn’t know what the…they were talking about.
When I slept with George, it had everything to do with Derek.
I still can’t believe you did that.
Okay, we are too old to be having this conversation.
[to Jo] If you want to be a shark, be a shark. Don’t apologize for it.
[to Jo] Karev is a puppy dog. And he wouldn’t hurt a fly. Unless he thought that fly was hurting you.
I don’t want to stuff my feet into these shoes. When Webber became chief, he did not have to fiddle around on sticks all day. When Hunt became chief, he did not have to squeeze five toes into a space built for two. But I became chief and I can’t wear my perfectly comfortable surgical clogs anymore. Any you know why?
Society?
S...Society.
[voice over] As surgeons, we try to eliminate pain. As humans, we just try like hell to avoid it. When we can’t avoid pain, we try to understand it… with pithy little quotes that we can wrap our head around… like “Suffering is optional,” or “Time heals all wounds,” and my personal favorite, “Every pain has a purpose.” God, I hope that one’s true.
S14 E3Go Big or Go Home
What is all this stuff?
You’re gonna have to talk to Alex.
You’re perfect. And Alex is wrong. And mommy needs a minute
[to Zola] She’s still grumpy, huh?
This is not every department head! I said every department head. [to Maggie] Pierce, where’s Shepherd?
I haven’t seen her all morning.
And Grey?
You don’t want her mood here.
S14 E4Ain’t That a Kick in the Head
[to Meredith, April, Alex, Maggie, and Owen] I don’t know what’s me and what’s tumor talking, but, um... in this moment, I love you people tremendously.
S14 E5Danger Zone
MMegan
[on the phone with Jordan] Just help Nathan get everything ready and you won’t even notice the time.
[in the background] Aah! Son of a-
JJordan
Doubt it.
MMegan
This is my sweet boy.
S14 E6Come on Down to My Boat, Baby
Okay, um, so, what would you do now if you were me?
Oh. I would, um, be proud of myself.
Okay, that’s not what I was-
I’m proud of you, Wilson.
Okay
Um, is everything alright, Dr. Wilson?
Dr. Grey is creeping me out!
