I could've saved her.
You don't know that either.
She could've had the baby yesterday, like she was supposed to. She doesn't do anything like she's supposed to.
Yeah, she's a real bitch that way. Just making a point.
S3 E1A Death in the Family
S3 E2The Way We Were
[to Addison and Sam] What is wrong with you two? What?
We made a pact.
Addison and I are ignoring our problems.
We are not going to talk or think about our problems anymore. Nothing even close to thinking or talking about our problems.
We're gonna be strong.
Strong.
In denial, but strong.
Strong.
Yeah, well, that's, um, you know, stupid.
I haven't shaved and my shirt's a little wrinkled, but beneath the depressed hobo look, I am fine.
Are you breast-feeding?
No, no I'm not. You know a lot of women don't breast-feed, I don't need to breast-feed. Like I should feel bad about it? I'm so sick of people trying to make me feel like I feel isn't what I should feel! If that makes any sense. No, no, Charlotte, I'm not breast-feeding, okay?
What you do with your boobs is your business. I only asked because you look like you need a martini, and if you're not breast-feeding, you can have a martini.
S3 E3Right Here, Right Now
[about Violet] Wait, so she's the one you said had the baby and then...
Yeah.
She's back at work? If that had happened to me, I'd be spending my time in a padded room. [looking at Pete] Oh, is that the father?
Yeah, well, one of them.
There's another one?
It's complicated.
[chuckles] This place is better than a telenovela.
You are playing God!
I'm a surgeon, it's how we pass the time.
Doctor Bailey, we both want to save your patient, but you can't expect me to back you on this. I'm putting my foot down. Okay, my, my, my foot is down.
Your foot is down? Your foot is down. Oh no, you better pick that foot up and use it to walk away from me.
You know what, no, you're right. When I first got here, I was guilty about what happened, but I was acting as a doctor. A surgeon, 'cause that's my job, to cut through the bull and save the patient.
Please, don't pull the surgeon card. We're all doctors around here.
It's personality thing. Okay, yeah, I've seen you long enough to see that you're good, but you hang back. You watch, you decide. I act. I don't stand outside a room watching my life pass me by, and I won't stand by and watch this patient die.
S3 E4Pushing the Limits
Don't you? Taking Elliot away from her?
SSusanna
She's a child. I'm the mother.
Okay, I'm going to say something to you which I've never said, well to anyone before. And I apologize for how it sounds, but you're an ass.
SSusanna
What?
Okay, you're a good person. And you're right, you are a mother, but Danielle is a mother now, too. I believe you want what's best for your daughter, but sometimes even when we mean well, we end up hurting people. I'm just saying, think about Danielle. Think about what Danielle thinks about you.
DDanielle
I'm doing the best I can for Elliot.
No, I'm sorry, but no you are not. You have a child now. It's not about your mom and it's not about you anymore, it's about Elliot. And when you decided to have him, that meant putting everything else aside. Doing your best for Elliot means doing some hard stuff. It means growing up, it means asking for help, it means admitting to the people who love you you're drowning.
S3 E5Strange Bedfellows
I know facing her will be hard.
Being on the same planet with her is hard.
Alright, well, we could all chip in and get her one of those guest trips to the space station. One-way. We could probably get a discount if it's one-way, right?
KKatie
Dr. Turner, I'm... I am so sorry. Please tell me you know it wasn't me who did that to you, please tell me you know that.
Why?
KKatie
So that I'll know you understand that I'm not a monster.
That's why you wanted to see me?
KKatie
That, and I want you to testify. When Dr. Wilder was on the stand, the jury looked at me like I am a monster.
And you think my testimony will counteract that?
KKatie
I think if you testify the jurors will know, they will know that I was crazy that night.
And you'll avoid prison.
KKatie
I won't get help in prison. I'll slip, I'll be crazy again, I don't ever want to be crazy again. I'm scared. I'm scared of that... that person, that person who did that. It's... it's not about avoiding punishment, it's just... I need, I need help. I need someone on my side.
You, you, you, you, you gutted me like a pig. You ripped my baby out of my body. You left me there to bleed to death and now I should be on your side? I should care about how sorry you are? I should give a damn about what happens to you? You made my life hell! You made me crazy and now you want a free pass from me?!
Thank you for agreeing to see me. I know how angry you are and how much you blame me, rightfully so...
ZZoe
I don't want your apologies. Dr. Montgomery said you had something that you needed to say to me, so why don't you just say it?
Amelia came to see me...
ZZoe
[to Addison] You told Amelia?
No, I told you I wouldn't.
Amelia came to me. She knows you're hiding something. She knows that there's something wrong with the baby.
ZZoe
So now you want to atone by talking me into something that I don't want to do?
Zoe, listen, when all this happened, I did not want to talk you into keeping the baby. All I wanted was for you to see things from all sides. It was not about me. This was so you could feel as okay with what was going to happen as you possibly could given what we did to you, given what I did to you, what I did to you. I wasn't the one who changed your mind. It was Amelia, and it was you, knowing that it was the best thing given the circumstances.
[to Cooper] I am too much woman for you. I have more money, I picked a specialty that makes you nervous, I bought your way into the practice. I'm strong and I am comfortable with being strong and I like that I'm strong. And if that is too much woman for you, if that makes your junk feel tiny, I'm not gonna make myself smaller, I'm not going to put myself in a box so that you feel like a big man. I am a big woman, and you either get used to it or you get out.
S3 E6Slip Slidin' Away
We had a deal, William. Hiring was my responsibility and you went around me. You knew that I would object to his research, his attitude and ultimately his hiring.
WWilliam
I was aware that you might object to some of his research, yes. Okay, would object. But he became available, there were other people interested, I had to make a decision. Think of the potential, sickle cell, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, his work has the ability to change the face of medicine as we know it, that's what you and I wanted.
He has no moral center. He supports eugenics. He wants me to help him design a baby.
WWilliam
That's what you do, Naomi! When you weed out for disease. You're afraid of the slippery slope, but you're already on it.
Maybe, but I am not skiing down it.
WWilliam
I'm not asking you to accept him, I'm telling you. Find a way to make it work.
Once we start down the road of choosing characteristics for our children, I don't... I don't know where that ends. It's not something that our practice does. I do want to work with you, I do, but, um...
SSally
[picks up a picture of Naomi's daughter] Your daughter?
Uh, yeah.
SSally
[sits down next to Curtis] She's very pretty, she looks just like you.
Thank you, you know I... I never really see the resemblance, but...
SSally
Of course you don't, you take it for granted having a child that looks like you. But what if someone told you you couldn't have your daughter? Your own daughter, who's like you in so many ways.
Even if you don't select for dwarfism, your child will be a part of you.
CCurtis
What do you see when you look at me? It's a hard question for a tall person to answer, because all you see is the dwarf.
No, no I don't.
SSally
When I look at Curtis, I see an accountant. A husband. And those things are what our friends see. If we have a child who's five ft. ten, they'll look at him the other way people look at us.
CCurtis
What if you had a 50/50 chance of having a white baby? Would you want a white baby?
It's not the same thing.
SSally
It is. You'd love that white baby, but everyday people would question whether she was yours. They'd whisper, like they'll whisper about our tall child. Would you want that for your child?
CCurtis
We're not asking you to clone us, we're just asking what any other parent would come in and ask for.
SSally
We want what you have, how is that crossing a line?
