[to Jackson] That's very insightful of you. You're a super, super sensitive man. You know, let me tell you what you saw today. I reflectively listened to a patient's concerns. I spoke to her in a language she could understand. I clearly stated the possible complications and probable outcomes. That's all you saw today. Me kicking patient sensitivity ass. So go be someone else's dish rag.
S6 E21How Insensitive
[voiceover] No matter how thick-skinned we try to be, there's millions of electrified nerve endings in there. Open and exposed and feeling way too much. Try as we might to keep from feeling pain. Sometimes it's just unavoidable. Sometimes, that's the only thing left: just feeling.
S6 E22Shiny Happy People
[voiceover] It's a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier, healthier life. As children, we're told to smile, and be cheerful, and put on a happy face. As adults, we're told to look on the bright side, to make lemonade, and see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to act the happy part though. Your health can fail, boyfriends can cheat, friends can disappoint. It's in these moments, when you just want to get real, drop the act, and be your true scared unhappy self.
Stop fidgeting. Smile.
I hate ties. You're the one who's fidgeting.
I'm wearing a thing that sucks in my fat.
You don't have any fat.
I couldn't zip the dress without it. I have fat.
That's just your ass. I like it fat.
Thank you. That's disturbing, but kind of awesome.
Wanna go upstairs and make-out?
We're supporting Derek.
Why? This party blows.
Alex, are we a couple?
What?
I need to know what we are. Because people ask, and I don't know what to say. I'm over Mark. And I- I don't know if you're over Izzie, but I am over Mark Sloan. For real. And I-- I know that we said that this wasn't gonna be a thing, but I like you. The point is, I wanna know what we are. What this is.
[kisses her] We're a thing. Yeah, we're together, we're... we're a thing. Whatever.
Lex, I'm still in love with you. I tried not to be, but it didn't work. And Sloane's gone. There's no baby. And I don't wanna sleep around. I want another chance. I'm in love with you.
Karev....he's....Mark, I-I have a boyfriend.
I know. I'm saying you could have a husband.
[voiceover] Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple - to be happy. Maybe it's this expectation though of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to states of bliss, the more confused we get - to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Instead we just keep smiling - trying like hell to be the happy people we wish we were. Until eventually it hits us, it's been there all along. Not in our dreams or our hopes but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar.
S6 E23Sanctuary
[voiceover] For most people, a hospital is a scary place. A hostile place. A place where bad things happen. Most people would prefer church, or school, or home, but I grew up here. While my mom was on rounds, I learned to read in the OR gallery, I played in the morgue, I colored with crayons on old ER charts. The hospital was my church, my school, my home; the hospital was my safe place, my sanctuary. I love it here. Correction: loved it here.
[seeing April covered in blood] April, what is it?
Did you know I grew up on a farm?
What happened?
I... I grew up on a farm, so you know, blood... blood doesn't bother me, I... I slaughtered a pig once. That was a lot of blood. 'Bleeding like a stuck pig.' That's a saying. To bleed like a pig, you know, it means something. But you don't think of people as having that much blood. I mean, you learn in med school how many pints we all have in us, but you don't realize it until you see it. You don't get how much blood... And a skinny person? I mean, my God, Reed, she's like almost anorexic. She's like, five pounds, you wouldn't think she'd have that much blood in her, but she did. She did.
[trying to interrupt her] April, April, April! You're in shock. It's alright. Tell me what happened.
Reed's dead. Someone shot her.
Police are almost here. I'm gonna leave you here. Are you gonna be okay by yourself?
You're leaving? You just said that nobody leaves, nobody moves, nobody breathes...
Nobody but me. I'm the chief. This is my hospital.
Do you wanna talk about it?
No.
Owen I mean.
I know what you mean. I don't want to... I can't... It's just... He doesn't know, who he loves and if it's not me then... I don't want to talk about it. Let's talk about something else.
Okay. You realize you're about to be a godmother.
I'm godmother? Okay, what do I have to do? Talk god to the fetus? 'Cause I’m not gonna do that.
It means, you take care of the kid if I die.
Derek takes care of the kid if you die.
If we die, if we die.
So, if you and Derek are on a plane crash and you die, the kid is mine?
Yes.
I have to admit, I kind of hope you and Derek die just a little bit. So I can raise the kid with decent priorities.
I have priorities.
Oh?
Surgery.
Oh, okay then you can raise a good little surgeon. I take it back.
I know your loss. I lost my father when I was a kid. Two guys killed my father for his watch right in front of me. Right in front of me. I didn't become a doctor because I wanted to be God. I became a doctor because I wanted to save lives. Look at me. Please look at me in the eye. I'm a human being. I make mistakes. I'm flawed. We all are. Today, I think for you is just a mistake. You want justice. You want somebody to pay. You're a good man. I can see that in your eyes. Can you see it in mine? Can you?
S6 E24Death And All His Friends
[voiceover] The human life is made up of choices. Yes or no. In or out. Up or down. And then there are the choices that matter. To love or hate. To be a hero or to be a coward. To fight or to give in. To live. Or die. Live or die. That's the important choice. And it's not always in our hands.
I'm not gonna die, I promise.
Good, 'cause that would be the worst breakup ever.
[to Mr. Clark] Shoot me.
Meredith.
You want justice right? Your wife died, I know what happened. Derek told me the story. Lexie Grey is the one that pulled the plug on your wife, she's my sister. Dr. Webber, he was your wife's doctor. I'm the closest thing he has to a daughter. And the man on the table, I'm his wife. If you wanna hurt them, the way that you hurt, shoot me. I'm your eye for an eye.
Meredith!
You tell Derek that I love him and that I'm sorry.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. She's pregnant. You wouldn't shoot a woman who's pregnant. Please.
