- Dr. Meredith Grey: [opening voiceover] In group settings, men are 75% more likely to speak up than women and when a woman does speak up, it's statistically probable her male counterparts will either interrupt her or speak over her. It's not because they're rude. It's science. The female voice is scientifically proven to be more difficult for a male brain to register. What does this mean? It means in this world where men are bigger, stronger, faster, if you're not ready to fight, the silence will kill you.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [closing voiceover] Don't let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice. So use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes. Just find your voice and when you do, fill the damn silence.
- Dr. Richard Webber: [to Meredith] I understand you saw Amelia.
- [Meredith gives him a look]
- Dr. Richard Webber: Look, look, look. I know you're not in the mood for a lecture.
- [Meredith undoes the brakes on her wheelchair and tries to push herself away, but Richard stops her]
- Dr. Richard Webber: But... Are you finished?
- [Richard puts the brakes on Meredith's wheelchair back on]
- Dr. Richard Webber: She came to see you the night after the attack. She was drunk. She was upset... because you'd called her for a consult that day... the day of the attack. And she had a choice between coming to you and going to another trauma, and she went to the other trauma because she was mad at you.
- [Meredith shakes her head]
- Dr. Richard Webber: Forgiveness is a powerful thing, Meredith... not only to make the other person feel good, but to heal you. You need to forgive her, Mer. Forgive her for not being Derek... for being the wrong Shepherd. Just enough to remind you of what's missing, but not enough to bring him back. That's not her fault. You need to forgive her. You don't have to like her. You don't have to love her. But forgive her, okay? So you can forgive Blake for being in that room when a wrong decision cost you your husband. To forgive Derek for dying too soon. To forgive yourself for hating him for dying too soon.
- [Meredith gets teary eyed]
- Dr. Richard Webber: Let it go, Meredith... and forgive.
- Dr. Richard Webber: [as the doctors are working on Meredith] You can't work on your family.
- Dr. Alex Karev: Everybody in this damn room is her family.
- Dr. Alex Karev: [to Meredith] Do you want anything, you know... like a sandwich or a... or a blanket?
- [puts a pillow behind Meredith's back]
- Dr. Meredith Grey: All right, all right. I'm good. I'm good. Sit down, sit down. I just spent 6 weeks in a bed unable to speak. When that you happens, you see things. There's a lot of things that people don't say to each other that they should just say, so I need you to hear me when I say this. I know I've needed you a lot lately, but I also know and I have known for a long time that Jo loves you. "Post-it-on-the-wall loves you." Don't ignore that. You can have more than one person. I used to think you couldn't, but now I know, I mean, turns out I have a whole damn village. So, you don't have to worry about me. Go be with Jo. I'll be fine. I'm okay.
- Dr. Jackson Avery: [When Penny takes out Meredith's jaw wiring after Meredith has a panic attack] Hey, what the hell are you doing?
- Dr. Penelope Blake: She... She was having a panic attack. She couldn't breathe.
- Dr. Jackson Avery: Do you not realize how delicate the jaw actually is?
- Dr. Penelope Blake: Dr. Avery, she...
- Dr. Jackson Avery: You could jeopardize the entire healing process here.
- Dr. Penelope Blake: She couldn't breathe! Look at her! She's been stuck in this room in that bed for weeks. She can't move, she can't talk...
- Dr. Jackson Avery: But I'm her surgeon now, right? You can't come in here and just take out her wires.
- Dr. Penelope Blake: She is my patient. I know what I am doing! You can rewire her jaw tomorrow morning, but right now, she needed some air, so I got her some damn air!
- Dr. Amelia Shepherd: [to Meredith after she throws her drink at Amelia] Yeah, okay, I got it. You don't want to look at me. I get it. Do you think that I want to be out there hanging out outside your door like some pathetic little rat looking for scraps? Do you think that feels good for me? I- I have been out there trying to figure out how to make amends... as if that would matter to you.
- [shuts the door]
- Dr. Amelia Shepherd: I know I'm a mess... who talks too much and feels too much, and I know that it drives you crazy, but that is the one way I know how to stay sober, and every time I try to suck it up and shut up and just be cold and normal, I end up drunk... or on pills or at a funeral. Do you know what it felt like to walk into that trauma room and see you on that table and think to myself, "Great. I did it again. Here comes another funeral."
- [Meredith makes a face]
- Dr. Amelia Shepherd: You know what? Forget it. I... I don't even know why I came in.
- [Amelia leaves the room]
- Lou: [to Meredith] Hi, Dr. Grey. Lou. Thank you for meeting me.
- [gives Meredith a plant and she takes it]
- Lou: This is my wife, Joann, my daughter, Kylie. I told you about her - the youngest, really smart and that's my Anne. Um... um, have a seat, girls. You got kids?
- [Meredith holds up three fingers]
- Lou: Right. Forgot you can't talk. The... jaw. Um... I wanted to... I didn't know what I was doing. What I did to you... I didn't know. I would never... I would never hurt a woman. I... I just want you... I just want you to know that I'm sorry. Truly sorry.
- [Meredith takes his hand and Lou gets teary eyed]
- Dr. Amelia Shepherd: [to Meredith] It's my 30 day chip. I'm sober and I'm starting back at work on Monday, so I'm trying. I'm trying.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I know you are.
- Dr. Amelia Shepherd: You... can talk. That's... That's great. They, uh, took the wires off?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Yeah, this morning. I'm just not ready to forgive you yet.
- Dr. Amelia Shepherd: I'm not... exactly ready, either. I'll see you later.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: See you later.
- [Amelia goes to take the chip back, but Meredith holds on to it]
- Dr. Alex Karev: [to Meredith as she is crying] Just get it out. The tears, all the... God, you've got a lot of snot.
- [Meredith laughs]
- Dr. Alex Karev: I'm serious. I'm for real. I mean, you might have a serious condition.
- [hands her tissues]
- Dr. Alex Karev: Come on, woman, blow your damn nose.
- [Meredith laughs]
- Dr. Alex Karev: Hang on, Mer. Can you hear me?
- [Meredith nods]
- Dr. Alex Karev: You can hear me?
- Dr. April Kepner: [after Meredith is attacked by a patient] Has anyone told the Chief?
- Dr. Richard Webber: Okay, do not page her. This is one patient. We can do this one, okay? She has to handle everything else.
- Dr. Ben Warren: The guy who did this... he was stable, non-aggressive. He wasn't a threat. I left for like five minutes and this happens.
- Dr. Owen Hunt: He was postictal. Hyper-aggression can occur after a seizure.
- Dr. Richard Webber: Temporary fugue state. He won't even remember it.
- Dr. April Kepner: Where is he now?
- Dr. Ben Warren: Restrained and being treated right next door.
