Season 5 Quotes

Season 5 / Episode 2: - Dream a Little Dream of Me (2)

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.

Season 5 / Episode 10: - All By Myself

Dr. Mark Sloan: I'm telling you, these interns are out of control.
