Below is a sampling of some of the best Grey's Anatomy quotes from last night's two-hour premiere. We've divided them into two parts, for each hour of the premiere.
Follow the link above for the full list of quotes from "Good Mourning," "Goodbye," and, if you've never been to our site, every episode in the show's six-season history.
Now here are some of the Grey's Anatomy quotes from last night that we liked most. Which was your favorite line? Thanks so much to Maddie O for help with these ...
Bailey: I am an attending. And, I am a single mother. And I lost O'Malley. And um, I just can't. I can't care anymore. Stevens is not my child. O'Malley was not my child. I have to stop treating them... I just have to stop caring so much. 'Cause I can't keep feeling... feeling like this. Not at work. I have to save the feeling for my son, who needs it. I just can't keep giving it away here. I can't. I won't. | permalink
Alex: Dude, are you crying?
Arizona: I have authority issues. Walk away Karev! | permalink
Callie: (crying) My ex husband died, he died. He actually got hit by a bus. George got hit by a bus. And now... now I have to get a new job and I'm never gonna see my friends anymore and Arizona keeps bringing me doughnuts!
Mark: Is this place for sale? It's nice.
Callie: What?
Mark: Oh, nothing. | permalink
Lexie: I was gonna clean out his locker. Give his stuff to his Mom but, I was a bad friend. To George. I was about as good a friend to him as Clara's friends, who keep sending post cards from the trip she'll never get to take. I just... I... I abandoned him completely. I... I... I just moved out and stopped talking to him. Why? Because, because he didn't think I was as hot I thought he was? Because he... he didn't love me back?
Mark: This may be bad timing but I gotta ask. What did that guy have? I mean, he wasn't much to look at. But, you and Steven's and Torres. Tell the truth. Was he... you know... hung?
Lexie: That's...
Mark: I know, I said bad timing.
Lexie: I...
Mark: But seriously, he was kind of a dorky little dude.
Lexie: Stop! Stop talking (laughing). | permalink
Meredith: You're laughing?
Alex: She's laughing.
Izzie: [laughing] George is dead! He's dead! They're about to put him in the ground and the priest is doing classic rock lyrics! And that girl, that redhead, is crying harder than his mother and she never even met him!
Cristina: You are far more twisted than I ever realized. | permalink
Lexie: [narrating] Grief may be a thing we all have in common, but it looks different on everyone.
Mark: It isn't just death we have to grieve. It's life. It's loss. It's change.
Alex: And when we wonder why it has to suck so much sometimes, has to hurt so bad. The thing we gotta try to remember is that it can turn on a dime.
Izzie: That's how you stay alive. When it hurts so much you can't breathe, that's how you survive.
Derek: By remembering that one day, somehow, impossibly, you won't feel this way. It won't hurt this much.
Bailey: Grief comes in its own time for everyone, in its own way.
Owen: So the best we can do, the best anyone can do, is try for honesty.
Meredith: The really crappy thing, the very worst part of grief is that you can't control it.
Arizona: The best we can do is try to let ourselves feel it when it comes.
Callie: And let it go when we can.
Meredith: The very worst part is that the minute you think you're past it, it starts all over again.
Cristina: And always, every time, it takes your breath away.
Meredith: There are five stages of grief. They look different on all of us, but there are always five.
Alex: Denial.
Derek: Anger.
Bailey: Bargaining.
Lexie: Depression.
Richard: Acceptance. | permalink

Cristina: These are good! Do they sell these in the cafeteria?
Meredith: No.
Izzie: No, those are the cancer pops.
Cristina: Why do cancer people get all the fun?
Meredith: How do you feel Iz?
Izzie: I'm not looking forward to the hurling that's about to happen, but I feel ok. I feel good.
Cristina: Bailey's on some sort of rampage. I think it's Post O'Malley Stress Disorder.
Meredith: She's not dealing with her grief.
Cristina: You sound like Owen's shrink.
Meredith: Owen's shrink is withholding sex, so she is grumpy and inappropriate.
Izzie: Is Derek doing that too? Withholding sex?
Meredith: Why would Derek withhold sex?
Izzie: Alex is withholding everything. It's like he's afraid, but I don't know what afraid of.
Cristina: He's afraid of the cancer sex.
Meredith: Cristina!
Cristina: He doesn't wanna end up with a cancer pop.
Mer: CRISTINA!
Izzie: Just shut the hell up. I'm not contagious Cristina.
Cristina: I know that. I would totally have sex with you.
and that was so mean!

I enjoyed the closing, it was nice that they all said something at the close besides Merideth.

I hated the Mark quote. Did they have to bash George's looks when he died? And Lexie laughed. It made me hate her. She just goes through saying what a terrible friend she was to him and she laughs when Mark insults him. I wished she had told how nice and funny and caring George was. That whole awesome speech she gave him in season 4.
That's why those women fell for him.
I was just so angry they were ridiculing George when he died a hero.

sorry sorry for my english
to Bella
I'm sorry you feel that way because you're george's fan
but it was funny and mark never like george, when someone you know die like that, but didn't like very much that person, you can feel sorry because anyone deserve that death but nothing else
george was a good guy but he was a "human being" and he made mistakes, he sleep with meredith, although he know she didn't love him after derek chose addie, and he was a bad boyfriend-husband for callie (he could have left her before) and he used lexie too when his friends forgot about him in 4 season, and when he became resident he forgot about lexie, in my opinion he was a bad friend for her too

I LOVED the closing - thank you SO MUCH for posting this! The writing is fantastic, and hearing all of the different characters contribute was so perfect. Genius. Shonda succeeded, and so did all of the writers. Well done.

Loved the ending quote. Just loved it. Krista nailed it. Gotta love her.
Bella,
Are you surprised? Mark never liked George and to him, it was the loss of a colleague, not a friend. He was trying to make Lexie feel better and the only way he knows how is by making jokes. And I laughed at them too.

So you laughed at the bashing of George's looks. Wow, I think bashing someone's looks, especially someone who just died, is about as trash and low as you can get.
We might not have the same sense of humor. It was insulting both to George and to TR.
And to me, George was beautiful in every way and a lot more attractive than Mark as a person and even looks-wise.
The chiseled artificial look Mark has has never been my style.
I like the cute warm lovable guys a lot more.
Mark wish he could be half the man George was.
