MEREDITH: [narrating] "Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was, like, if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult? Totally overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Adulthood is responsibility. Responsibility, it really does suck. Really, really sucks. Adults have to be places and do things and earn a living and pay the rent. And if you're training to be a surgeon, holding a human heart in your hands, hello? Talk about responsibility. Kind of makes bikes and cookies look really, really good, doesn't it? The scariest part about responsibility? When you screw up and let it slip right through your fingers."• Episode: Shake Your Groove Thing • Rating: 9.8 / 10 • Permalink
MEREDITH: [narrating] "Four hundred years ago, another English guy had an opinion on being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone. Of course it was fancier when he said it. No man is an island entire onto himself. Boil down that island talk and he just means that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone. And who's to say that someone can't have four legs. Someone to play with, or run around with, or just hang out."

IZZIE: "You tell me to cut my losses, that I'm better off without him, and as soon as I turn my back..."
MEREDITH: "C'mon! Alex and I are kind of friends."
IZZIE: "Since when? When did you and Alex become friends?"
MEREDITH: "Don't you think you're overreacting? It's not like I'm going to sleep with him."
IZZIE: "Why not, you've slept with everyone else."

MEREDITH: "So, you're giving up your trailer."
DEREK: "I'm not giving up the trailer. Is Addison telling people that I'm giving up the trailer?"
MEREDITH: "It's just funny, I just never would have pegged you as that guy."
DEREK: "What guy?"
MEREDITH: "You know. The marble bath, private pool, gated community guy."
DEREK: "Don't peg me. I'm not peggable."
MEREDITH: "You're pegged. Deal with it."

MEREDITH: [narrating] "Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a question. They wanted to know where all the lonely people came from. My theory is that a great many of the lonely people come from hospitals. More precisely, the surgical wing of hospitals. As surgeons, we ignore our own needs so we can meet our patients' needs. We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people's friends and families. Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves. And nothing in this world can make you feel more alone than that."

GEORGE: [on the bathtub floor] "I am not your sister!"

GEORGE: "There needs to be some rules."
MEREDITH: "So, what? So we can around in our underwear on alternate Tuesdays? Or you could see bras, but not panties? Or are you talking Amish rules? Because if you think you're gonna get Izzie to cover herself-"
GEORGE: "The amount of flesh exposed is not the point. You have to do something, it's your house."
MEREDITH: "It's my mother's house."
GEORGE: "Meredith!"
MEREDITH: "Do you like Izzie? Is that was this is about? You have a crush on Izzie?"
GEORGE: "Izzie? No! I don't like Izzie. No! She's not the one I'm attracted to."
MEREDITH: "Not the one. So there's a one?"

DEREK: "I thought I might buy you breakfast before your rounds."
MEREDITH: "I've already eaten."
DEREK: "Oh? What'd you have?"
MEREDITH: "None of your business."
DEREK: "Cereal person? Straight out of the box or are you all fruit and fibery? Pancakes! Do you like pancakes?"
MEREDITH: "Fine, leftover grilled cheese. Curiosity satisfied?"
DEREK: "That’s sad. It's pathetic. A good day starts with a good breakfast."
