GEORGE: "Not to bother you, but-"
MIRANDA: "What? Alright, one of you better spit out the problem right now."
ALEX: "The problem is the colors and the balloons and the Under the Sea. No, it's Titanic. Hey ,lets go with Tears in Heaven. No, that’s too morbid. It should be pink, it should be red, it should be a freaking rainbow-"
GEORGE: "What he's saying is that we're very, very hopeful that you speak teenage girl."
MIRANDA: "Silver and white. It's mystical and magical without being over the top. Ever seen Fashion Week in New York? Lots of silver and white runways and backdrops. That’s because no matter what color the clothes are, they pop."
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS: "They pop?"
MIRANDA: "They pop! O'Malley and Karev, get 500 balloons in silver and white. A hundred in black, shiny black, not the matte. Yang, stick with Camille, keep her happy, keep her spirits up. Grey, talk to Patricia, make sure we can rope off the second floor nurses' station and the waiting room!"

MEREDITH: "Thank you... for calling me about Izzie."
GEORGE: "I didn't do you any favors."
MEREDITH: "But it meant something. That you called. It meant something to me."
GEORGE: "It didn't mean anything."
MEREDITH: "Right, okay. Sorry-"
GEORGE: "Stop saying you're sorry! [long pause] You wanna know something? I knew. I knew you didn't feel that way about me, even during... when we were in bed I knew. I knew and I still let it happen, because, um... well, I figured one night with you was better than never. So, will you just stop saying that you're sorry? 'Cause you didn't know any better, but I did. And I still let it happen. I'm sorry. [long pause] I'm sorry, Meredith."

GEORGE: "Bailey's treating us like children. We're not children! We shouldn't have to sit out here like we're in time-out or something."
MEREDITH: "What we did is way in need of a time-out."
CRISTINA: "You realize we could get kicked out of the program for this?"
IZZIE: "Not we. I did this. I did this. You're probably right, maybe I should run. But I'd rather be running towards someone than running away."

CRISTINA: "He's... he's been shot."
IZZIE: [pause] "Burke's not coming."
MEREDITH: "Are you okay?"
CRISTINA: "I'm fine."
IZZIE: "Burke's not coming."
GEORGE: "Why didn't I take the internship in San Diego? None of this would be happening if I was in San Diego."
IZZIE: "Burke's not coming."
CRISTINA: "No, Izzie, Burke is not coming. I know you're having problems here, what with your murder charges and your unbelievebly stupid idea about stealing a heart, but Burke's kinda busy right now."

IZZIE: "You press that code button and I will hurt you. Not a lot, because we're friends. But enough so that things will break and you lie on the floor out of my way."
GEORGE: "Izzie."
IZZIE: "You have a decision to make. You can stay here and help me with this, or you can leave. What's it gonna be, George?"

IZZIE: "You want us to make her seize? How do we make someone have a seizure?"
DEREK: "Get creative. Do some research."
GEORGE: "Well, if all the normal methods have failed then what are we supposed to do-"
DEREK: "Use a strobe light. Get her drunk. Hang her up upside down from the ceiling and hit her with a wiffle ball bat, for all I care. Just make her seize. 'Cause until she seizes, I don't know when to operate, and if I don't know when to operate, I can't get this woman out of my life. And this woman is not how I like to start my mornings."
