Cristina: She's doing McDreamy. She's doing McDreamy and lying about it.
Izzie: That's great.
Cristina: Does she think I'm weak? That I'm fragile? Like I can't handle it cause of Burke?
Izzie:: Poor Cristina, all alone.
Cristina: Yeah, right. Poor Cristina... edit »
Bailey (to Callie): Uh, I've been havin' trouble. With this whole peckin' order of things. I've been havin' trouble. Because I'm used to being number one, but I'm not number one, not anymore. So, the best that I can come up with is to... be number two. The best damn number two that this hospital has ever seen, but your number two. I will... I will... I will help you. We'll be like a team, because, look girl, you just seem to be havin' a hard time. (Callie laughs) And I know I seem to be havin' a hard time... but, together... We could do this. I just think that we could do this together. (Callie smiles) edit »
Lexie: What?
Meredith: I have your mother's death note here. Everything that happened on the day she died is in here, and I know because I wrote it. So, I'd like to go over with you, if that's okay. (pauses) Okay, first of all lemme just say, everything that happened that day, every set back, there was a one percent chance of that happening. One percent... and your mother was that one percent. (starts reviewing the chart) She came in complaining of persistent hiccups. We did an endoscopic-fundipication.
Lexie: You did it endoscopically?
Meredith: So it would be an out patient procedure. We wanted to avoid major surgery. For what it's worth, I was very fond of your mother. She was... I was very fond of her. (keeps reviewing the chart with her) edit »
Cristina: What are we supposed to say? We didn't even know the guy.
Izzie: We ate lunch in here for a year. The least we can do is say a few kind words about him. (everyone is silent, Izzie looks to George)
George: He... didn't snore too loudly.
Meredith: He um... never complained and always took his meds.
Alex: He rarely farted.
Meredith: Alex.
Alex: Fine. He had 12 surgeries this year and he lived through them. That's... that's impressive.
Izzie: Thank you, Alex. Cristina.
Cristina: I got to practice stuff on him. Central lines and IV's, he was good practice.
Izzie: Charlie, the truth is you were a bastard. You were, you were mean and stubborn and just a bastard. But you were a bastard who knew what you wanted and you stuck to your guns and you proved that if you want something badly enough, if you're determined enough and appreciative enough eventually it will happen. It will! That gives me hope, so thanks for that. Bye, bye, Charlie. edit »
Meredith: Hey, so I've been thinking about how you're sad, and what I can do to help.
Cristina: Oh, you have another surgery?
Meredith: No, that's not what you need.
Cristina: It kind of is.
Meredith: What you need is... Me, and my time. So, I thought that we could go back to my house and get into our pajamas, and just sit and talk about this whole Burke thing and really get to the root of your feelings. Just talk all night long if we have to.
Cristina: Talk.
Meredith: Talk. And cry. Cry.
Cristina: Oh, you know.
Meredith: You're damn right I know. Surgery stealer!
Cristina: So... Person who's sleeping with Derek.
Meredith: How'd you know that?
Cristina: What, you think that I'm too fragile to handle your sex life?
Meredith: Well, he did leave you at the altar. And I'm your person.
Cristina: How? By, by... (makes motion with her fingers) Protecting me? That's not how to be my person. That's not what we do. You know that. I'm dealing, okay? The best I can. So, if you need to take care of someone, you're gonna need to take care of someone else, okay?
Meredith: Fine. (pause) You owe me a surgery.
Cristina: Yeah, well, you owe me sex details. edit »

Let The Truth Sting
The Bottom Line: "Not my favorite storyline"
There was an episode called "Tell me sweet little lies" in which they talked about "lying", and, by omission, about "truth". In "let the truth sting" they talked about the truth, and, I don't know... I couldn't tell any difference. ...Continue »
