Grey's Anatomy Season 6 quotes

Bailey

I had five interns. Four of you have been on this table. One of you has cancer, one of you died. You better not pull anything funny on me, Grey.

Webber

I have responsibilities, to make this hospital the best medical facility it can be, to repair what I've broken, even if it was twenty years ago. If I am now the bad guy, if I am now the villain here... well... so be it.

Meredith

[voiceover] The thing about being a surgeon, everybody wants a piece of you. We take one little oath, and suddenly we're drowning in obligations. To our patients, to our colleagues, to medicine itself. So we do what any sane person would do. We run like hell from our promises, hoping they'll be forgotten. But sooner or later, they always catch up. And sometimes you find the obligation you dread the most isn't worth running from at all.

Meredith

[voiceover] When you get sick, it starts out with a single bacterium. One lone nasty intruder. Pretty soon the intruder duplicates. Becomes two. Then those two become four. And those four become eight. Then, before your body knows it, it's under attack. It's an invasion. The question for a doctor is, once the invaders have landed, once they've taken over your body, how the hell do you get rid of them?

Callie

Daddy.

Calliope.

Callie

What, what are you doing here?

I came to see you.

Callie

Why?

Calliope, we used to talk. Every Sunday we used to talk. I'd wait for your call and you'd tell me everything. All about your crazy adventures. Even when you were in trouble you'd still call and we worked it out. We'd always work it out, Mija.

Callie

Daddy. [hugs] I'm sorry... I'm sorry things got so...

Sure

Callie

[sighs] But the fact that you came... Daddy is that Father Kevin?

Hello Calliope.

Callie

Wha...Are you tw-two here to... You think you can pray away the gay.

If we could just sit and talk...

Callie

You can't pray away the gay.

Calliope Iphigenia Torres.

Callie

You can't pray away the gay!

Leviticus: Thou shall not lie with a man as one lies with a female, it is an abomination.

Callie

Oh, don't do that daddy! Do'’t quote the bible at me!

The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and the sin is exceedingly grave.

Carlos, this is not what we...

Callie

Jesus: A new commandment that I give unto you, that you love one another.

Romans: but we know that laws-

Callie

Jesus: He, who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone...

So you admit it's a sin?

Callie

Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy! Jesus: blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God! Jesus: blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! Jesus is my savior daddy, not you! And Jesus would be ashamed of you for judging me! He would be ashamed of you for turning your back on me! He would be ashamed.

Arizona

[to Mr. Torres] Most people think that I was named for the state, but it's not true, I was named for a battle ship. The USS Arizona. My grandfather was serving on the Arizona when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and he saved nineteen men before he drowned. Pretty much everything my father did his whole life was about honoring that sacrifice. I was raised to be a good man in a storm, raised to love my country, love my family, protect the things I love. When my father, Colonel Daniel Robbins of the United States Marine Corps, heard that I was a lesbian he said he only had one question. I was prepared for "How fast can you get the hell out of my house?" But instead, it was "Are you still who I raised you to be?" My father believes in country the way that you believe in God. And my father is not a man who bends, but he bent for me because I am his daughter. I'm a good man in a storm. I love your daughter. And I protect the things I love. Not that I need to; she doesn't need it. She's strong, and caring, and honorable. And she's who you raised her to be.

Meredith

[voiceover] What do you do when the infection hits you, when it takes over? Do you do what you're supposed to and take your medicine? Or do you learn to live with the thing and hope someday it goes away? Or do you just give up entirely and let it kill you?

Meredith

[voiceover] In order to get a good diagnosis, doctors have to constantly change their perspective. We start by getting the patient's point of view, though they often don't have a clue what's going on. So we look at the patient from every possible angle. We rule things out. We uncover new information, trying to get to what's actually wrong. We're asked for second opinions, hoping we'll see something others might have missed. For the patient, a fresh perspective can mean the difference between living and dying. For the doctor, it can mean you're picking a fight with everyone who got there before you.

Meredith

Are the Mercy West people that bad?

Cristina

They're everywhere and there are more of them than us, and they're kicking our asses. God, I miss Izzie. We need more 'uses', so get back here.

Meredith

I have to be discharged first. You want to forge Bailey's signature?

Cristina

No, that'll get me fired. Ooh, ask one of the new ones to do it. Get them fired.

They hate us, April. It doesn't matter how good we are, we're gonna fail. Because they were here first and they rule the school, and they hate us.

April

I'm not gonna let them turn me into someone they hate, I'm easy to like.

Actually, it takes a while. I hated you at first.

Arizona

You left him alone? When were you planning...?

Lexie

I'm.. I'm sorry, I.. I feel like...

Arizona

No, you don't get to feel anything! Because he's feeling everything, his every nerve is exposed and raw and we have to make him feel worse before he's gonna feel better. So, if you're having feelings, then you need to shut them down. You need to shut them down and talk to him about his future and remind him that he has one, past all of this pain. And if you can't do that, if you can't do your job, then you find someone who can and you send them to me.

Derek

Maybe it's not one doctor. Maybe it's too many doctors who don't know each other and who don't trust each other. When I got to that room, it was chaos, because that's the system now: chaos. That has been the system that's been in place since this merger. Your system. I'm saying you should look again at who is responsible."

Meredith

[voiceover] When we're headed toward an outcome that's too horrible to face, that's when we go looking for a second opinion. And sometimes, the answer we get just confirms our worst fears. But sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem, make you see it in a whole new way. After all the opinions have been heard and every point of view has been considered, you finally find what you were after - the truth. But the truth isn't where it ends, that's just where you begin again with a whole new set of questions.

Derek

[voiceover] Ask most surgeons why they became surgeons and they usually tell you the same thing. It was for the high, the rush, the thrill that comes from cutting someone open and saving their life. For me it was different, maybe it was because I grew up in a house with four sisters. No, definitely because I grew up in a house with four sisters because it was the quiet that drew me to surgery. The operating room is a quiet place. Peaceful. It has to be in order for us to stay alert, anticipate complications. When you stand in the OR, your patient open on the table, all the world's noise, all the worry that it brings disappears. A calm settles over you, time passing without thought. For that moment, you feel completely at peace.

No, don't close me up. If you get in and it's too complicated, cut the cord. Paralyze me if you must. I survived a war did you know that? I survived a war where they put bodies in to mass graves where there was once a playground. I survived the death of my family, my parents, my brothers and sisters. Then I survived the death of my wife and child when they starved to death in a refugee camp. I survived the loss of my country, of hearing my mother tongue spoken, of knowing what it feels like to have a place to call home. I survived. And I will survive the loss of my legs. If I have to, I'll survive it. OK? But Derek...

Derek

Yes.

There is always a way when things look like there's no way. There's a way to do the impossible, to survive the in survivable. There's always a way. And you, you and I have this in common. We're inspired. In the face of the impossible, we're inspired. So if I can offer one piece of advice to the world's foremost neurosurgeon. Today if you become frightened instead become inspired. OK, I'm ready now. Put me to sleep.
