- Dr. Mark Sloan: The guys pretty much a goner right?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Sensitivity, I like that in a stranger. Are you new here?
- Dr. Meredith Grey, Dr. Derek Shepherd, Dr. Mark Sloan: Visiting. Confounded by all the rain and it's only my first day in town.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: You get used to it.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Makes me wanna stay in bed all day.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: We just met and already you're talking about bed. Not very subtle.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Subtle's never been my strong suit. So, do you ever go out with co-workers?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I, um, make it a rule not to.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Then I am so glad that I don't work here.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Are you hitting on me? In a hospital?
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Would that be wrong?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [Introducing herself] Meredith.
- [Derek slugs him]
- Dr. Meredith Grey: What the hell was that?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: It's Mark.
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: Put the ice on your hand.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: My hand is fine.
- Dr. Richard Webber: Put the damn ice on your two million a year hand. Now, would someone tell me what the hell happened?
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: That was Mark.
- Dr. Richard Webber: Who's Mark?
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: He and Derek used to work together back in New York. And they, we, were all close friends. Until Derek found us in bed together.
- Dr. Richard Webber: Did you put your weight behind it?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Yes sir.
- Dr. Richard Webber: Well, alright then.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: What the hell is he doing here?
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: I have no idea.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Derek and I always did have the same taste in women.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Excuse me?
- Dr. Mark Sloan: You're Derek's lusty intern right? I've heard about you all the way back in New York. You're famous.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Well I heard about you all the way here in Seattle, so I guess we have a lot in common.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: We're the dirty mistresses.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I suppose we are.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: My 400 dollar an hour shrink says that it's because behind this rugged and confident exterior, I'm self destructive and self-loathing to an almost pathological degree.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Hey, we do have a lot in common.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: You know, it's funny. Derek walks in on me naked with his wife, actually in the throes, and he just turns around and walks away. But he sees me so much as talking to you, and I'm on the ground bleeding. Interesting, don't you think?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You know when you don't have sex for a while you sort of forget how good it is and you don't really need it as much?
- Dr. George O'Malley: Yeah, that doesn't happen to guys.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Why is he suturing his own face?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: To turn me on.
- Dr. Alex Karev: Because he's Mark Sloan. He's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the East Coast.
- Dr. George O'Malley: That's the guy Addison was sleeping with?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You can't really blame her, can you?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: No, not really.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Yes you can.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: McSexy wants an X-ray to check for fractures and I think it's a bad idea if I take him.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Why? Why?
- Dr. Alex Karev: I'm on it.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Why's it a bad idea?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: McSexy?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: No.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: McYummy?
- Dr. Cristina Yang, Dr. Meredith Grey: No.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: McSteamy.
- Dr. Cristina Yang: Ah, there it is.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Yep.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Chocking back some McVomit.
- Dr. Cristina Yang: Um.
- Dr. Preston Burke: I am Preston Burke, a widely renowned cardiothorasic surgeon. I am a professional. And more than that I am a good and kind person. I am a person that cleans up behind myself. I am a person that cooks well. And you, you are an unbelievable slob. A slovenly, angry intern. I am Preston Burke. And you, you are the most competitive, most guarded, most stubborn, most challenging person I have ever met. And I love you. What the hell is the matter with you that you wont just let me?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: I gave up my apartment 20 minutes ago.
- Dr. Preston Burke: Well alright then.
- Dr. George O'Malley: I know I'm not a world-renowned surgeon and I know I'm not a lot of things you've gone for in the past. I know. But, I would never leave you. I would never hurt you. And I will never stop loving you.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: This seat taken?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I guess not.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Double scotch, single malt. You look sad.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I just saw my father for the first time in 20 years.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: How'd that go?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Could have gone better. What are you still doing here?
- Dr. Mark Sloan: I'm hoping Addison shows up.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: You're still in love with her?
- Dr. Mark Sloan: You're still in love with him.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: She won't show you know?
- Dr. Mark Sloan: No?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: He's not the kind of guy you leave if you can help it.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: What if you're wrong? What if, just this once, life comes down on the side of the dirty mistresses?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here's what I've decided. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us. And just when we think life and circumstance have forced us truly to become an adult, your mother says something like that. Or worse, something like that. We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Aw c'mon, you're not even a little bit happy to see me?
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: Go home. Whatever you came to do, just drop it and leave.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Hey, we all made mistakes Addison. All three of us. But somehow, somehow, I lost my best friend and the woman I loved.
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: Please, don't say that.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: He doesn't know how we felt. He doesn't know you stayed with me after he left? How do you expect to work out a marriage if you can't even be honest with him?
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: Why are you here?
- Dr. Mark Sloan: For one reason. To bring you home. I miss you Addison.
- Dr. Addison Shepherd: I'm in love with my husband.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: But he's not in love with you. He's in love with that intern. And he's not even trying to hide it. Why would you wanna stick around for that?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I've heard that it's possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. We whisper secrets with our best friend in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we hope against all logic, against all experience, like children, we never give up hope.
- Dr. Cristina Yang: You know, he's acting like I committed a crime. Like my apartment is full of stolen goods. He's acting like I kept my apartment to hide stolen good so I could do illegal transplants for money.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Are you sure he's not just acting like you lied to him about moving in?
- Dr. Cristina Yang: What the hell's wrong with you?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: My mommy's a filthy whore.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Why do people cheat?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: That's a good question.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Why do you think she cheated on you? Were you different then? Were you a bad husband?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: I was a... I was just a little absent. Not that that's an excuse for...
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Do you think things would have been different if you had kids?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Do I think she wouldn't have cheated? I don't know.
- Dr. Mark Sloan: How come you can forgive her and not me?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: I didn't forgive her and with you I have no obligation to try.
- [Derek walks off]
- Dr. Mark Sloan: Your marriage is over Addison. All you have to do is admit it and then you can come back home with me. I'm going to the bar across the street. Meet me there.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I've heard that it is possible to grow up, I have just never met anyone who's done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselfs, we throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope against all logic against all experience, like children, we never give up hope.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [about Addison Shepherd] I don't see what McDreamy or McSteamy see in her.
- Dr. Alex Karev: She's McHot.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Oh yeah!
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. We whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we hope. Against all logic. Against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: After careful consideration, and many sleepful nights, here is what I have decided, there is no such thing as a grownup. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears, and all those old wounds just grow up with us and just when we think life and circumstance force us to be an adult your mother says something like that, or worse something like that. We get bigger. We get taller. We get older, but for the most part we're still a bunch of kids running around the playground desperatly trying to fit in.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: We grow bigger and taller, but we never actually grow up. I've heard it's possible to, but i've just never met anyone who actually has. Without our parents to defy we'll break the rules we set for ourselves. We'll throw temper tantrums when things don't go our way. We'll whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark. We'll look for comfort wherever we can find it, and like children, we'll never give up hope
