[to Julia] Ma's O-negative. She said, 'The best part about being a universal donor was that she could never be so broke that she couldn't give something to the needy.'

Your mom's a baseball fan?
NNatalie
Nah. She's just an ex-Catholic who believes God speaks to us through the Red Sox.
What's God trying to say?

Miracles happen. Believe in someone enough and they'll surprise you.
You're a remarkable person, Jules. Every time I look at you in there, so capable, strong, not afraid of any of it. You'd have made a much better doctor than I am. I always thought I was the one who could handle anything. Who wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty, could deal with all the shit that's just part of life. I never wanted to know about Matt because I couldn't live with the truth. I never asked about you and Christian. I couldn't deal with all the questions I'd have to ask about us.
There's a reason I'm a plastic surgeon. If something's ugly, I fix it. What's imperfect, I make perfect, wipe away the mess, make it all nice. I couldn't do what these guys do. Life and death. Losing more than you save and moving on to the next, just one after the other.
[talking to the body identified as Erica] I forgive you for not loving me. It's Okay. I didn't love you either. I just craved your approval like it was somehow possible to get. I saved a life tonight, Mother. Well, two lives actually. A stranger's and my own.
Sometimes people misinterpret me until they get to know me.
I know you. I know you're someone who can only be big by making others feel small. I know I don't need people like you in my life anymore. And I know you're fired.
[Edit]
You are a bitch.
At least I am not yours.

With childhood obesity rates the way they are today, fat is not an image we want to promote any more. [Edit] It's our sincere hope that by the time your kids have kids, Doctor, Santa will no longer be thought of as the fat man. He'll be trim, tight and a little bit sexy.
What about the elves? I always thought it was indentured servitude. Are you going to do something about that?
The Messiah? Liz, I thought you were an athiest.
I kinda go on the wagon around the holidays. You miss out on too much good music if you don't.
You're not supposed to take it literally. The story is for kids. Jesus is Santa Claus for adults.
Not a bad way to spend the holidays.
Two single men, watching football, eating Chinese. That's America.

To our profession. The only field of medicine dedicated to both the fixing of what isn't broken and rebuilding of the unrepairable.
He wouldn't have hurt me if you hadn't given me all those surgeries. You made me think that I needed them for you to love me. It's true. Beauty is a curse on the world.
On our first date, you said that I was an eight. You were honest with me. I need you to tell me what I am now as honestly as you did then. From one to ten.
[Christian draws the curtain and sees Kimber who has been carved. The Carver has reversed all her surgeries.]
I'll make you a ten again, sweetheart, I promise. I'll make you a ten again.
I can't do this anymore, Christian. I can't be this beautiful couple who spends six hundred dollars a month on tanning salons, who takes an hour to get ready just to go to the gym, who measure people's worth by their body fat percentage.
This is perfectly normal. It's called Stockholm Syndrome. Kidnapping victims sympathise with their captors. It's a survival strategy.
He wasn't my captor. You were. Porn was. He was just the man holding up the mirror to our beautiful, superficial lives showing me how grotesque they were. It's just ugliness hidden behind a perfect mask. How am I supposed to be with you when your job is to give everyone those masks?
