short little nuggets of Meredith, that's all anyone really needs.

And if you start to get stuck just, smile. You've got a really great

smile.

Derek: You're wearing an alarmingly high ponytail.

Meredith: Your mother is coming!

Bailey: You, you're squirrelly.

Sadie: I'm sorry?

don't trust you with my patient of three years, who's extremely

important.

Sadie: I didn't..

Bailey: stopping her If you want to stay on this case, you will stay out

of my way. You will do what I tell you, and if you have something to

Izzie: Aw crap, I made her hydrate.

~~~~

Izzie: She does not look weird. I've got it under control. Mer is

doing great.

Cristina: Looks like she's gonna pee.

Bailey: Well you have a better idea?

Arizona: I do, waiting for UNOS, trusting the process. Why can't you

do that?

Bailey: Because I'm tired of waiting, while this kid is getting worse.

Jackson's tired, his mother's tired. The only one who's happy to

sit on her ass and twiddle her thumbs and wait is you!

Arizona: Whoa, I've been patient with you. I've been nice, but

I'm really over you constantly telling me ..

they start talking over each other as Alex walks in

Alex: Shut up! Respectfully, respectfully shut up.

Because we've got organs!

Izzie: I think it's nice; your date. I think you and the pig murderer

make a really good couple.

Meredith: Ah, you know I should go check on the patient. Who's

the serial killer..who's here. Not killing people. So that's good.

I should go.

Derek: Yea

Meredith: okay leaves

Derek: Family isn't her favorite topic,Ok. She's had a rough time

with it.

Mrs. Shepherd: I didn't say a word.

Derek: I know what you're thinking.

Mrs. Shepherd: I was thinking, must be awful for you.

Treating a murderer.

Derek: Dad died a long time ago, I'm fine.

Mrs. Shepherd: Mark!

Mark: Mrs. Shepherd.

Mrs. Shepherd: You've been avoiding me.

Mark: What? no.

Mrs. Shepherd: You have that same guilty look on your face as you

did when you were ten years old and you put Derek's favorite

frog into the microwave.

Mark: I never pressed start.

Mrs. Shepherd: What's going on?
Mark: I'm sleeping with her.
Mrs. Shepherd: Oh Mark! Not again!
Mark: No, No.
Mrs. Shepherd: How could you?
Mark: Noo, not Meredith. God no. Meredith's little sister.
Mrs. Shepherd: Which one is she?
Mark: The one with the juice box

William: Am I hallucinating or is that a really high ponytail?

Meredith: You're not hallucinating. But once your brain starts

to herniate i can't promise anything.

Lexie: Can I help you with something? Were you looking

for Dr. Shep..

Mrs. Shepherd: Are you a good girl?

Lexie: I..What?

Mrs. Shepherd: A good girl. I don't mean perfect, I mean relatively

speaking. Are you?

Lexie: Yes.

Mrs. Shepherd: How many sexual partners have you had?

I won't judge.

Lexie: Um, six. No, Seven. Kinda six, kinda seven.

Mrs. Shepherd: Criminal record?

Lexie: Speeding ticket.

Mrs. Shepherd: How fast?

Lexie: 12miles over.

Mrs. Shepherd: That's fast!

Lexie: Well it wasn't too..well yea it was wat too fast. But I was

downhill, I was coasting ma'm.

Mrs Shepherd: Now I don't suppose you can tell me...

where the gift shop is.

Lexie: 1st floor-east wing.

Cristina: That ponytail, looks ridiculous.

Mrs. Shepherd: She's a lovely girl.

Mark: A lovely girl, who's off limits.

Mrs. Shepherd: Baloney! She isn't the problem, you are.

You have very low expectations for yourself Mark Sloan.

Since you were a little boy, you always have. And it's time to raise

them.

Mark: She's 24.

Mrs. Shepherd: You have the emotional maturity of a horny

15 year old. You need young.

William: You know deep down you're no better than I am.

You decide who lives and dies all the time. But you they call it

medicine. Not a capital offense.

Derek: Nobody gets to choose. Not me, not a patient in this hospital,

and certainly not the five women you slaughtered. So when I say

you're not going to die in this hospital. I mean there is no way in hell

I will let you die in this hospital. You don't get off that easy. I am

nothing like you.

Mrs. Shepherd: Meredith, I was just looking for Derek. I thought
you'd be with him.
Meredith: You seem like a very nice person. You've been very
kind and you've given me a chance. And it seems like you want to
like me. So it's only fair, you should know, the pink and the
ponytail, and the smiling with the teeth..I'm a fraud. It's fake.
I'm not the kind of girl mother's like. I'm not happy and bubbly.
I'm dark and cloudy. Because I'm the type of crazy person who
feels bad for serial killers.
Mrs. Shepherd: It was very nice to meet you Meredith.

Mrs. Shepherd: Your father always wanted you to have this, for

the right girl. Addy wasn't right clearly.

Derek: You spent less than an hour with Meredith. You barely

even know her.

Mrs. Shepherd: I know enough. I know it's easier to have

compassion for a good person, than a murderer. I know how angry

you still are about what happened to dad.

Derek: Of course I'm angry. Aren't you?

Mrs. Shepherd: I still can't sleep on his side of the bed. The

mattress is wearing unevenly. But no, no not angry. Not anymore.

Sweetheart, you see things in black and white. Meredith doesn't.

Derek: No.

Mrs. Shepherd: You need a spoonfull of that. You need her.

She's the one.

Derek: Yea

Cristina: Ok, before you say anything else Dr. Goodtimes, you

need to shower you smell like a distillery.

No! Not here!

~~~
Cristina: You're wearing shoes in my shower!

Meredith: Whatever helps you sleep at night.
