Grey's Anatomy - Season 1

love cristina, george, and bailey...

pink = favorites

1 - A Hard Days Night

George: Maybe I should have gone into geriatrics. No one minds when you kill an old person.
Cristina: Surgrey's hot. It's the marines. It's macho. It's hostile. It's hardcore. Geriatrics is for freaks who live with their mothers and never have sex.
George: I've got to get my own place.

Cristina: You should get some sleep you look like crap.
Meredith: I look better than you.
Cristina: Not possible.

2 - The First Cut Is The Deepest

Burke: Anything you say in the next 30 seconds is free starting right now.
Bailey (beat): I think you’re cocky. Arrogant. Bossy and pushy. You also have a God complex and don’t think of anybody but your damn self.
Burke: But I--
Bailey: But wait! I still have 23 seconds and I’m not done.

George: You know what you need? (Raises his eyebrows at her)
Meredith: No. It’s sick and twisted. We said last time was the last time. (George makes a guilty face) You've been doing it without me?
George: Nancy Reagan lied. You can't just say no. C’mon.
Meredith: You know what would happen if anyone knew?
George: I'm doing it. You can come with me or you can stay here and be miserable. (Scene goes to newborn babies and George is baby talking at the babies) Look at you! You’re so cute with your little yellow hat--
Meredith (laughs): You are such a woman.

(During surgrey with the rapist who had his penis bitten off by the girl he raped)
Cristina: Not to mention he'll never be able to have sex again.
Meredith: Oh, too bad.
Cristina: Shame.
Bailey: Let's all take a moment to grieve. (quickly) Clamp.

Bailey (to Cristina): An intern was reassigned so he's mine now. Have him shadow you for the day, show him how I do things.
Alex: Alex Karev, nice to meet you.
Cristina: The pig who called Meredith a nurse. I hate you on principle.
Alex: And you're the pushy, overbearing kiss ass. I hate you too.
Cristina: Oh, this should be fun then.

Bailey(To Interns): Every intern wants to perform their first surgery. That's not your job. Do you know what your job is? To make your resident happy. Do I look happy? No! Why? Because my interns are whiny. You know what will make me look happy? Having the code team staffed, having the trauma pages answered, having the weekend labs delivered and having someone down in the pit doing the sutures. No one holds a scalpel until I'm so happy I'm Mary Freaking Poppins.

Meredith (Voiceover): Barriers don't keep others out. They fence you in.

Derek (to a patient and rapist whose victim bit off his penis): I have good new and bad news. The good news is that we managed to stop the bleeding. The bad news is that we gave your penis to the cops. Have a nice life.

3 - Winning A Battle, Losing The War

Meredith: They're everywhere. All the time. Izzie's all perky and George does this where he's helpful and considerate. They share food, and they say things, and they move things, and they breathe. Ugh, they're, like, happy.
Cristina: Kick them out.
Meredith: I can't kick them out, they just moved in. I asked them to move in.

Cristina: So what, you're just going to repress everything in some deep, dark, twisted place until one day you snap and you kill them?
Meredith: Yep.
Cristina: That's why we're friends.

Meredith: You're just pissed that two women got the harvest.
Alex: I'm just pissed that anyone except me got the harvest. Boobs in no way factor into this. Unless you want to show me yours.
Meredith: I'm going to become a lesbian.
Cristina: Me too.

Izzie: You did good George.
George: I'm going to have to dodge Burke for the rest of my career. He could kill me and make it look like an accident.

Burke(to Cristina and Meredith): This is a men's room, unless your going to whip one out I suggest you leave.

Cristina: It's like candy, but with blood, which is SO much better.

Bailey: Fools on bikes killing themselves....Natural selection is what it is.

4 - No Man's Land

George: I don't think you understand. Me - gonads! You - ovaries!
Izzie: Oh, that reminds me. We are out of tampons.
George: You're parading through the bathroom in your underwear, while I'm naked in the shower!
Izzie: Will you add it to your list, please?
George: What?
Izzie: Tampons!
Meredith: To the list. It's your turn.
George I am a man! I don't buy girl products. I don't want to see you walking in while I'm in the shower. And I don't wanna see you in your underwear!
Izzie: It doesn't bother me, okay? Look at me in my underwear, George. Take your time, it's no big deal.

Izzie: (standing in the bathroom, outside the shower, where George is, looking for tampons) Tampons, tampons. I reminded you before you went.
George: I forgot when I got there.
Izzie: No. (she opens the shower door) No, you were so passive aggressive!
George: Naked! I am naked in the shower!
Izzie: (closes the shower door) Just tampons, George! I really needed tampons. God!
(Meredith enters the bathroom)
Izzie: I'm not riding in the same car as him.
Meredith: (looks at Izzie, who is standing in her underwear) Unless you're going like that, you're not riding with me either. Where are the tampons?
Izzie: He didn't buy them.
Meredith: (to George) You didn't buy them?
George: Men don't buy tampons!
Izzie: (opens the shower door again, and George falls over) You know what? You're gonna have to get over the whole man thing, George! We're women! We have vaginas! Get used to it!
(she walks out of the bathroom, leaving George lying on the floor of the shower)
George: I am not your sister!
(he slams the shower door)

George: There needs to be some rules.
Meredith: So, what we can walk 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. Izzie? No! She's not the one I'm attracted to.
Meredith: Not the one. So there's a one?
George: Look, there just have to be some rules.

Alex: Morning, Dr. Model.
Izzie: Dr. Evil Spawn.
Alex: (he sees a tattoo on her lower stomach) Ooooh, nice tat. Do they airbrush that out for the catalogs?
Izzie: I don't know. What do they do for the 666 on your skull.

5 - Shake Your Groove Thing

(Meredith, George, and Cristina are drunk after the party)

Hank (Appearing in the doorway): Is, uh, Izzie Stevens...
Cristina: You must be Hank... he's very large and hockey-like. No, Izzie's not here right now.
George: You and Izzie will give birth to very tall blonde people. Kinda like Barbies.

Izzie: (coming home to see Meredith drunk at the party) Holy Mother of Destruction...

6 - If Tomorrow Never Comes

(About Alex)
Cristina: If I stab this fork into his thigh will I get in trouble?
Meredith: You have to make it look like an accident.

Izzie (regarding Meredith): Life is short George. Do you really want to die before you ever ask her out?
George: I do not want to ask her out.
Izzie: Do you really want to die a liar?
George: I'm not a... I'm not dying!

7 - The Self Destruct Button

Izzie: If you wait a few minutes you can have a piece of cake. Baked it chock-full of love, actually chock-full of unrelenting, all-consuming rage and hostility, but still tasty.

Meredith: I hate you! (She takes slice of cake from Izzie) And I hate your cake!
Izzie: No, no, the cake is good.

Meredith(voiceover): Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know, maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.

8 - Save Me

Meredith(voiceover): It's not so important that it's happy ever after. Just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And, once in a while, people will even take your breath away.

Mr. Duff: They're not seizures! I'm psychic!
Cristina: Sure you are and I'm a chicken.

9 - Who's Zoomin' Who?

Meredith: So just for the record, you’d tell me if I need to get tested, right?
Derek: You think I have syphilis?
Meredith: No. I mean we never made any rules or anything…we never said we had rules and I wouldn’t hold it against you.
Derek: When would I have time to go out and get syphilis? You’re a handful enough as it is. And besides we’re practically a condom ad.
Meredith: But no more glow-in-the-dark ones.
Derek: You see? There’s nothing to worry about. Maybe we should make some rules.
Meredith: We should.
Derek: Ok.
Meredith: Ok.
Derek: Just for the record…I like the glow-in-the-dark ones.
Meredith (laughs): I bet you do.

Derek: How goes our special super secret silent sunset surgery? I've been practicing that.
Bailey: You have too much time on your hands.

(George is in the bathroom, locked in and Izzie wants to take a shower)
Izzie (Knocking on the door): George. You locked the door I need to take a shower.
George: Uh..uh, I'll be out in a minute.
Izzie: What are you doing in there?
George: It's private!
Izzie: Oh! Oh, god, I get it. I'm sorry.(smirks) I didn't mean to interrupt.
George: No, it's not that.
Izzie: It's ok. Take your time.
George: I am not doing what you think I'm doing.
Izzie (laughs softly): You know what there really isn't a need to explain you just...finish.
George: No...I'm coming. I'm coming out!(Izzie laughs)

(After he comes out of the bathroom)
Izzie: There's no reason to be ashamed. It's normal, healthy even.
George: I am not ashamed. 'Cause I wasn't doing anything. I don't have to. I have a girlfriend.
Izzie: An imaginary girlfriend?
George: An actual girlfriend.
Izzie: You know what? It's no big deal, you don't have to lie. I get it. You have needs.
(Meredith opens the door Izzie was leaning against)
Meredith: What is going on out here?
Izzie & George: Nothing.
(George walks away)
Izzie(To Meredith): He's freaked out because I caught him playing with little Jimmy and the twins.
George(Turns around): I have a girlfriend. (Walks away)
Izzie: Ok. (laughs)
Derek(Appearing from Meredith's bedroom): It sounds like fun out here.

George: Are you sure you know what you're doing?
Alex: It's a shot of penicillin George. Be grateful that I am doing this. I've already seen more of you than I ever wanted to. I'll fight the nightmares for a week.
George: Ok. You know what? Forget this.
Alex: Do you want to get rid of the syph or not? Then shut up and drop it.
George (Whispers) Can't believe I'm doing this. (Meredith pulls back curtain) Meredith! Go away!
Meredith: Oh George. I thought you could use some moral support.
George: No. No moral support. I'm indisposed here!
Meredith: George. It's not a big deal. And you have a cute butt.
Alex: I have a cute butt too. Wanna see?
Meredith: Oh get out you're doing it wrong.
Alex (hands her the syringe): Be my guest.
George: Wha- Alex. Alex! Wha-? (Alex leaves) Hey!
Izzie (pulls back curtain): Oh. What are we doing here?
George: Breaking George's spirit.
Meredith: Curing George's syph.
George: I don't like needles.
Meredith: Good thing you became a doctor. Other side.
Cristina: Izzie?
Izzie: Yeah.
Cristina: Mr. Franklin's procedure's been scheduled for after lunch--(pulls back curtain)
George: No. No!
Cristina: Oh what are we doing?
Izzie: We are saving George from a future of festering sores and insanity.
Cristina: Cute butt.
George: I spent hours, days...years imagining myself half naked in a room with three women. The reality is so much better.
Cristina: I think he's gonna cry!

Meredith: The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they're out in the open... And once your secrets are out in the open, you don't have to hide behind them anymore.... The problem with secrets is even when you think you're in control... You're not.
