Dr. Meredith Grey Quotes

05x23 - Here's to the Future (1) Season 5 / Episode 23: - Here's to the Future (1)

05x23 - Here's to the Future (1) Season 5 / Episode 23: - Here's to the Future (1)

Dr. Meredith Grey: Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever wanna live without you. You changed my life.' Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it. But every now and then look around. Drink it in. 'Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.
05x17 - I Will Follow You Into the Dark Season 5 / Episode 17: - I Will Follow You Into the Dark

Dr. Meredith Grey: Meredith [closing voiceover] Practicing medicine doesn't lend itself well to the making of friends. Maybe because life and mortality are in our faces all the time. Maybe because, in staring down death every day, we're forced to know that life, every minute, is borrowed time. And each person we let ourselves care about is just one more loss somewhere down the line. For this reason, I know some doctors who just don't bother making friends at all. But the rest of us, we make it our job to move that line, to push each loss as far away as we can.
05x16 - An Honest Mistake Season 5 / Episode 16: - An Honest Mistake

Dr. Meredith Grey: Every surgeon I know has a shadow. A dark cloud of fear and doubts that follows even the best of us into the or.

Dr. Meredith Grey: [to her shrink in the elevator] what was the point? All those hours and all that money. what's the point? The world is a horrible place. Young people die of diseases. It makes absolutely no sense to try to be happy in a world that's such a horrible place.
Dr. Wyatt: [to Meredith] Yes.
Dr. Meredith Grey: What?
Dr. Wyatt: Yes, horrible things do happen. Happiness in the face of all of that... that's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings, that's goal.
Dr. Wyatt: [she stops the elevator] And you're not done. You've made progress because you're feeling and you're telling me about it. Six months ago, it would've been just you and a bottle of tequila. My door is always open.
05x02 - Dream a Little Dream of Me (2) Season 5 / Episode 2: - Dream a Little Dream of Me (2)

Dr. Meredith Grey: Bones break. Organs burst. Flesh tears. We can sew the flesh, repair the damage, ease the pain. But when life breaks down. When we break down. There's no science, no hard and fast rules. We just have to feel our way through, and to a surgeon, there's nothing worse, and there's nothing better.
04x16 - Freedom (1) Season 4 / Episode 16: - Freedom (1)

Dr. Meredith Grey: I'm still mad at you. And I don't know if I trust you. I wanna trust you but I don't know if I do, so I'm just gonna try. I'm gonna try and trust you because I believe that we can be extraordinary together rather than ordinary apart.
04x16 - Freedom (1) Season 4 / Episode 16: - Freedom (1)

Dr. Derek Shepherd: [as he is walking up to Meredith, walking around, surrounded by candles] Meredith....
Dr. Meredith Grey: [unaware that Derek is approaching] Stupid, corny, idiotic, I can't believe I did this. Stupid, loser, son of a ... I could be at home instead of ... oh stupid, stupid brain man!
Dr. Derek Shepherd: [smiling] Meredith...
04x15 - Losing My Mind Season 4 / Episode 15: - Losing My Mind

Dr. Lexie Grey: I forgive you.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Lexie.

Dr. Meredith Grey: Lexie...
Dr. Lexie Grey: I don't know how you get up in the morning, I honestly don't. Our dad abandoned you. And your mom by all accounts was the meanest person ever and you can't let Derek love you, and it all really, really sucks. But ever since I knew you existed, I had this fantasy about my big sister, and you have failed on every occasion to live up to that fantasy. But I still love you whether you are capable of letting me or not. So, I forgive you. [storms out of bathroom]
Dr. Wyatt: [comes out of bathroom stall] Two o'clock work for you?
Dr. Meredith Grey: Yeah... ok.
04x13 - Piece of My Heart Season 4 / Episode 13: - Piece of My Heart

Dr. Meredith Grey: Sister.
Dr. Lexie Grey: I'm stealing stuff.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Okay.
Dr. Lexie Grey: Are you okay? [since Rose just declared that she loved Derek]
Dr. Meredith Grey: [walks away] Resident again now. Stop stealing crap from the hospital.
04x10 - Crash Into Me (Part 2) Season 4 / Episode 10: - Crash Into Me (Part 2)

Dr. Meredith Grey: I don't want you to date other people. I may not be enough for you, but I'm trying here so I don't want you to date anybody but me. That's it. Except I'm scared as hell to want you. But here I am wanting you anyway. And the fear means I have something to lose, right? And I don't want to lose you.
04x04 - The Heart Of The Matter Season 4 / Episode 4: - The Heart Of The Matter

Dr. Derek Shepherd: You know what I talked about with the other Grey? All the things this Grey won't let me say.
Dr. Meredith Grey: You can say anything to me.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I'm 110 years old in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime. [Meredith takes a few steps back]. Do you see what happens? I say things like that and you fight the urge to run in the opposite direction. It's okay. I understand. I didn't, but now I do, I do. You're just getting started and I've been doing this for a long time. Deep down you're still an intern, and you're not ready.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I'm not ready right now, but things can stay the way they are and I'll get ready.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: Things can't stay the way they are. We can still meet in the elevator, the on call room. And maybe you'll get ready, and I'll wait. I'll wait until you're ready.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Okay then.
Dr. Derek Shepherd: Yeah, but what if, what if while I'm waiting I meet someone who is ready to give me what I want from you?
Dr. Meredith Grey: What if you do? [the elevator opens in front of them and Derek steps in]
Dr. Derek Shepherd: I don't know. [the doors close between them]
04x03 - Let the Truth Sting Season 4 / Episode 3: - Let the Truth Sting

Dr. Cristina Yang: What's the matter? Couldn't find his LVAD Wire?
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: It was Coincedents
Dr. Cristina Yang: Oh well. I'm scrubbing in on Meredith's hemiglossectomy

Dr. Meredith Grey: She's faking it. She's faking sadness.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: Ok I have an old guy trying to kill hiself. So I don't have time for you two and your fake drama
04x02 - Love/Addiction Season 4 / Episode 2: - Love/Addiction

Dr. Meredith Grey: In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking, how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it was just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.
04x02 - Love/Addiction Season 4 / Episode 2: - Love/Addiction

Dr. Meredith Grey: The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.
04x01 - A Change Is Gonna Come Season 4 / Episode 1: - A Change Is Gonna Come

Dr. Meredith Grey: Change. We don't like it. We fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying, but here's the truth sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.
04x01 - A Change Is Gonna Come Season 4 / Episode 1: - A Change Is Gonna Come

Dr. Cristina Yang: to her interns: I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna change.
Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Trauma protocol, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run. That's rule number two... notices the interns are not following her... You're supposed to follow me.
Dr. Alex Karev: Your first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop. And you don't complain. You NEVER complain.
Dr. Meredith Grey: On call rooms. Sleep when you can, where you can. You know, but not with anybody. Not attendings, especially not attendings. Sleeping with attendings, not a good idea. Where was I?
Dr. George O'Malley: Er, rule number three. If you're sleeping, do not wake you unless the patient is actually dying.
Dr. Cristina Yang: The dying patient better not be dead when I get there, because not only will you have killed someone, you will have woken me for no good reason. Are we clear? Yes?
Dr. Lexie Grey: ...raising her hand... That was four rules, you said five.
Dr. Cristina Yang: Rule number five. When I move, you move... awkward pause as nobody moves... Go!... Cristina's interns scramble off...

Dr. Cristina Yang: He's gone.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I don't think he's gone. He's stuff is still here.
Dr. Cristina Yang: No. His trumpet was here. His entire Eugene Foot collection. His CDs. His grandmother's picture was beside his bed. His luckiest scrub cap was hanging on the door... he's gone. I'm free. Damn it. Damn it. Damn, damn it. [Starts to sob] Oh God gets this off! Get this off! Get this off!
Dr. Meredith Grey: Stay still, stay still. [unties her necklace]
Dr. Cristina Yang: Help me.
Dr. Meredith Grey: [grabs scissors, cuts Cristina out of her dress and holds her while she crys]
03x21 - Desire Season 3 / Episode 21: - Desire

Dr. Meredith Grey: [voiceover] But as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most are those who don't know what they want.
03x19 - My Favorite Mistake Season 3 / Episode 19: - My Favorite Mistake

Dr. Meredith Grey: The thing about plans is they don't take into account the unexpected. So when we're thrown a curve ball, we have to improvise. Of course, some of us are better at it than others. Some of us have to move on to plan B and make the best of it. And sometimes what we want is exactly what we need, but sometimes what we need is a new plan.
03x19 - My Favorite Mistake Season 3 / Episode 19: - My Favorite Mistake

Dr. Meredith Grey: Wow, you and George were really going at it last night.
Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [Spits out water] What?
Dr. Cristina Yang: The laughing, the drinking, the music. Okay, nobody, I mean me, needs to hear George's rendition of Sexy back at 3:00 in the morning.
Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [laughs] Yeah, yeah. You should have said something or you know, banged on the wall.
Dr. Cristina Yang: It's like living in a youth hostel.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Well, the important thing is that she and George made up. You did, right?
Dr. Alex Karev: [Interrupts] I need to use your bathroom
Dr. Meredith Grey: Why?
Dr. Alex Karev: Cause O'Malley's puking in mine.
Dr. Cristina Yang: Youth hostel.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Dylan Young: Meredith, this is not your brain on drugs. This is death. You are dead. You are really freaking dead. You're dirt-nap dead. No more you, *dead*.
Denny Duquette: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, *way* too harsh! Remember we were going to take it easy? That was not easy. [gently] Meredith, you drowned. In Elliott Bay, you remember that?
Dr. Meredith Grey: Yeah, that sucked.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Dr. Meredith Grey: We take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Dr. Meredith Grey: There *are* medical miracles. Being worshippers at the alter of science, we don't like to believe miracles exist, but they do. Things happen. We can't explain them, we can't control them, but they *do* happen. Miracles *do* happen in medicine. They happen every day. Just not always when we need them to happen.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Denny Duquette: Meredith.

Denny Duquette: She's freaking out.
Dylan Young: She's *not* freaking out.
Denny Duquette: People tend to freak out.
Dylan Young: Trust me, she's fine.
Denny Duquette: Oh, okay Mr. I've-been-dead-longer-and-knows-everything.
Dylan Young: You know what? That's why I don't like to be here with you. Because you don't assess the situation, you just dive right in.
Denny Duquette: Oh, I'm not the one who got himself all blown up.
Dylan Young: [gets in Denny's face] Alright, you wanna do this now or you wanna do this later?
Denny Duquette: [gets in Dylan's face] Oh, I wanna do this now.
Dylan Young: You wanna do this now?
Denny Duquette: I will kick your ass anytime. *I'm* the one with the fresh heart.
Dylan Young: Oh, you're gonna kick my...
Dr. Meredith Grey: This is the brain thing. This is the ketamine neurotransmitter, right?
Denny & Dylan: No.
Dr. Meredith Grey: 'Cause you'd think if it were my brain doing this, the first person I'd want to see, no offense, would be...

Dr. Meredith Grey: Doc! What a good boy! Hi. Hi, buddy.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Dr. Meredith Grey: You think I want to be here? I swam. I fought. Hard. The water was cold.
Denny Duquette: Alright, but that thing in the tub. What was that?
Dr. Meredith Grey: It wasn't anything! It was... You see me in the tub?
Denny Duquette: I do *not* see women in the bathtub. I *wish* I saw wo - We know things.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Denny Duquette: What happened in that water?
Dr. Meredith Grey: I *swam.* I *fought!*
Denny Duquette: No, you didn't. You *can't* stay here, Meredith.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I don't WANT to!
Denny Duquette: Yeah, you do. It's easier, but you can't. Because George's dad died. Because Izzie lost me. And Cristina - When she was nine, she was in a car accident with her father. And he bled out right in front of her while they waited for an ambulance to arrive. And Alex...
Dr. Meredith Grey: Stop.
Denny Duquette: They're *barely* breathing. This will break them. None of them deserves that. And this, this is the big one, so you pay attention. Do you know what kind of miracle it is that Derek is who he is? Do you know how rare it is that someone like him even exists? He's an optimist. He still believes in true love and soulmates. He's waiting for you. And if you don't come back from this, you will change who he is.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Dr. Meredith Grey: I *was* swimming. I was fighting. And then I thought, just for a second, I thought 'What's the point?' And I let go. I stopped fighting. Don't tell anybody.
Denny Duquette: Okay.
03x17 - Some Kind of Miracle (3) Season 3 / Episode 17: - Some Kind of Miracle (3)

Dr. Meredith Grey: What?
Denny Duquette: Izzie...
Dr. Meredith Grey: You can see her?
Denny Duquette: No. Sometimes we'll be in the same place at exactly the same time, and I can almost hear her voice. It's like I'm touching her. I like to believe she knows I'm there. That's all you get. That's it. Moments with the people you love. And they'll move on, and you'll want them to move on, but still, Meredith, that is all you get. Moments.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Is this really happening?
Denny Duquette: I don't know. This is your afterlife, not mine.
