- Nicole Verma: Alex. Would you kiss me?
- Dr. Alex Karev: What?
- Nicole Verma: I know you're a doctor, I'm your patient, and it's against the rules, but, I would never tell anyone.
- [Alex looks up and down the hallway, which is otherwise empty. He bends down to Nicole's level, who is in a wheelchair, she closes her eyes]
- Dr. Alex Karev: For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. So that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere.
- [Nicole opens her eyes]
- Dr. Alex Karev: A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss, Nicole. Trust me, you don't want to. Because when you find that right person, a first kiss, is everything.
- [Nicole smiles]
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Hey, I heard a heart caught on fire in the OR?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: I am the best intern you've got. And you are wasting me on puke and boils, and I get it, I even deserve it, but please, you can't keep me away from this surgery. I EARNED this surgery. I STOLE this surgery.
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: What are you talking about, Yang?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: You. Punishing me.
- [Bailey just looks at Cristina]
- Dr. Cristina Yang: You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
- [Bailey still doesn't say anything]
- Dr. Cristina Yang: Well, then, who has been paging me all day? The nurses have been on me nonstop.
- Debbie: A little bit of respect and you could have saved yourself a very long day, Dr. Yang.
- [Goes back to her work at the nurse's station, answers telephone]
- Debbie: Hi, this is Debbie.
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Pissing off the nurses. Stupid.
- [Walks away]
- Dr. Cristina Yang: [Trailing behind Bailey] Well, I can still scrub in, right?
- Dr. Alex Karev: Hey Izzie! Izzie! Hey dollface! Oh I was gonna ask you a favor since, you know, maybe you're better with people than I am.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: No.
- Dr. Alex Karev: But you haven't even heard what.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: No! No. You're like a broken record. God. You're only ever nice or friendly or anything when it's convenient for you. So no to your favor. No to you. No.
- Dr. Alex Karev: What's up with you?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I put on a dress! I did my hair! I had one night off in 2 weeks and I used it on you. And what do I get? Nothing. No respect. No apology. You couldn't even be bothered to kiss me goodnight. You know what you're a coward and you're just as shallow as you seem. So I am done trying to be your friend or whatever. I'm over it.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say. They're what you do. Some things you say because you have no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not to often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.
