- Dr. Meredith Grey: Okay, here it is. Your choice, it's simple, her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But Derek, I love you. In a really, big really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your bedroom window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you... love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me. I'll be at Joe's tonight so if you do decide to sign the papers, meet me there.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Pain. You just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its on. Hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breath deep and wait for it subside. Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain. You just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it... And life always makes more.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Pain comes in all forms. The small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain. The normal pains we live with everyday. Then there's the kind of pain you can't ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else... Makes the rest of your world fade away, until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us. Pain. We anesthetize , ride it out, embrace it, ignore it, and for some of us the best way to manage pain is to just push through it.

- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [outside the stuck elevator] Poor George, he doesn't have the steadiest hands.
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Izzie, he can hear you.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I had a good time. Really. Thank you. It's the perfect evening. Best date ever.
- Dr. Alex Karev: Izzie.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You know I especially like the part where you treated me like crap the entire night. That was fun.
- Dr. Alex Karev: I had a good time.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Really?
- Dr. Alex Karev: Yeah.
- [Izzie leans in, hoping... waiting for a goodnight kiss]
- Dr. Alex Karev: I gotta go.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Seriously? Seriously?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Mr Chue. You wanna take Anna home for healing ritual?
- Mr. Chue: When sickness comes, It means that one of our soul is missing. Anna needs all of her souls intact before she has surgery. She needs a Shaman.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: You could have told me that.
- Mr. Chue: Why? So you can call me a fool?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: I respect that you have traditions that I can't understand but you stand here besides me with 3000 a suit so also know to respect the fact that I'm telling you: Anna needs a surgery in the next 24 hours if she should continue to walk. She can't leave this hospital.
- Mr. Chue: She can't undergo a surgery without her soul. She'd die.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Alright then. We're just gonna have to take a Shaman. Today. In the hospital.
- Mr. Chue: Shamans don't list in the Yellow Pages. Our Shaman is 500 miles from here. You're an arrogant mess.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: No. I'm just a guy who has access to a helicopter.
