Grey's Anatomy Season 6 Episode 15

(Flashback)
Bailey (to Dr. Baylow): And if you'd looked further and, I don't know, talked to your patient, you would have discovered that along with abdominal pain she also had weakness, palpitations, numbness, skin changes, and her urine is intermittenly dark. Ringing any bells yet? Your patient who's been sliced nine ways to Sunday has porphyria. If you had diagnosed it earlier, she could have avoided getting her ovaries taken out. And her gallbladder. And yes, yes, I took out her appendix, and I, too, am at fault for not looking at the whole person. But you know the difference between you and me? I learned something from it. I learned not to cut. I learned to listen to my patient. How could you have no learned in three years what it took me three months to learn.
Richard: Dr. Bailey...
Bailey: And the reason I had her chart was because you ignored my pages and she needs to get started on hemin right away. You put it in her IV. You give it to her daily for four days...
Richard: Dr. Bailey...
Bailey: The patient gets better. The patient doesn't get prodded, probed, scoped or cut open like a Thanksgiving turkey, you supercilious fool!
Richard: Dr. Bailey! My office. Now.

(Flashback)
Richard: It is my job to make sure that my residents are supported and treated with respect.
Bailey: Of course, and I am so sorry...
Richard: You have said enough for one day.
Bailey: Sorry.
Richard: It's my job. So we're gonna sit here with you wearing that terrified look on your face for a respectable amount of time so Dr. Baylow and her friends can assume that you've had your behind handed to you on a platter. ... You're gonna make a hell of a surgeon, Dr. Bailey. (Bailey starts to smile) Lose the smile!

Lexie: So you canceled your resident's surgery. Isn't that a little bold?
Cristina: She was worried about adhersions, right? Gimme candy!
Bailey: No adhesions. No candy. And it wasn't bold, Grey, it was stupid. But in this case, it was also necessary.

(Flashback)
Richard: Dr. Grey, looking beautiful as usual.
Ellis: Flattery will get you into an on-call room in 5 minutes or less.

Bailey: Successes or failures, which teach you more?
Jackson: Failures.
Bailey: Yeah, but that was a gimme. Don't get too cocky.

(Flashback)
Richard: You told him that he could walk?
Callie: Yes. I was in the Peace Corps! I've seen polio, I've studied the procedures.
Richard: You're priviledged.
Callie: Sir?
Richard: Your application, I remember it. I'm saying you grew up privileged and that privilege made you arrogant. And arrogance in an unseasoned surgeon is a very dangerous thing.
Callie: Sir, I didn't make this promise lightly. I can do this.
Richard: Did you promise him you'll try, or did you promise him he'll walk? (Callie is silent) Arrogant. ... Arrogant. Alright, Dr. Torres. You'll live and die on this. This is your career at Seattle Grace.

Richard: Once upon a time, long before I was Chief of Surgery, even before I was an attending, I was a resident right here at Seattle Grace, just like you. You learn from everything in your residency. The patients, the nurses, the attendings. But you don't realize how you laern from each other. 1982, you were all in diapers. (goes to a flashback) Dr. Ellis Grey. Two-time-Harper-Avery award winner and my colleague on this case. A case that changed my life. Look around. The biggest influences in your life, are sitting next to you, right now.
Cristina (whispers to Mer): This is gonna get more interesting.
Meredith: Yeah.

Bailey: Single most important step in the exam process. Anyone?
Jackson: Physical exam.
Bailey: No. No chocolate for you.
Cristina; Lab and radiology evaluation.
Bailey: Oh! Come on, people now you're embarassing me.
Lexie: Patient history.
Bailey: Thank you! (throws a chocolate to her) Catch.

(Flashback)
Callie: Hey, I'm from ortho, I was paged?
Alex: Oh, you were paged by me. Alex Karev, you have to put me on this case.
Callie: Um, here's a news flash, overly enthusiatic intern guy, I don't have to do anything.
Alex: Oh, come on, you seem like a cool person.
Callie: You don't know me.
Alex: You look like a cool person. I need some cool cases. Ever since the elevator thing, and the heart guy...
Callie: Wait, that was you? You're the heart in the elevator guy?
Alex: Sure, let's go with that.
Callie: You're not at all how I pictured you.
Alex: What's that supposed to mean?
Callie: I heard the story. The heart in the elevator. It was basically Rudy, you know? Dorky guy makes good. But you're not dorky, you're hot.

(As Callie is about to give her lecture)
Meredith: Is she shaking?
Cristina: Hmm?
Meredith: She's definitely shaking.
Cristina: Oh, she's doing her pee dance. She does that when she has to pee.

Callie: I can't do it. (gags)
Arizona: Of course you can.
Callie: Oh my God, I'm gonna hurl again.
Arizona: Okay, please don't, 'cause I just got the last of the puke outta your hair.
Callie: God, why do I have to do this? I'm not a public speaker. It's not my thing. Ugh, I hate Derek Shepherd.
Arizona: All you have to do is talk about being a great surgeon.
Callie: To a giant room full of people. From a giant stage. Oh, God, with a microphone.

Richard: (about an AIDS patient that he treated with Ellis Grey many years ago/closing voiceover) Well, the patient survived the surgery, but eight months later, he came back with PCP pneumonia. He died a week later. Dr. Grey and I were...well, um...I won't speak for her, but I lost a sense that I was a superhero, and I really started to think of how dangerous it all was. It changes you, this work. Your patients, your colleagues. You change each other. You don't ever think you'll lose your way, but what happens in this hospital...just remember why you came here. You said it the day you graduated from med school. You took the physician's oath. Remember it. Tape it to your locker, to your bathroom mirror, 'cause it is too easy to lose your way. (raises his right hand) "I solemnly swear to consecrate my life to the service of humanity. I will give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due. I will practice my profession with conscience, dignity. The health of my patients will be my number one consideration. I will respect the secrets that are confided in me, even after my patient has died. I will maintain, by all the means in my power, the honor and the noble traditions of the medical profession. My colleagues will be my sisters and brothers. I will not permit considerations of age, disease or disability, greed, ethnic origin, gender, race, political affiliation, nationality, sexual orientation, social standing, or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient. I will maintain the utmost respect for human life. I will not use my medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties, even under threat. I make these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor.

(Flashback)
Richard: We're living a lie, too.
Ellis: What?
Richard: We shouldn't be doing what we're doing. We have to stop.
Ellis: No. We're not the lie. Our marriages are the lie. This. Us. This is what's right. We should leave them, Richard. You leave Adele, and I'll leave Thatcher.
Richard: I can't! You have a daughter. I can't. And neither can you. (preparing to perform a surgery) You don't have to go in there. I can do this alone. You have Meredith to think about.
Ellis: You're just like the rest of them. You have a different skin color, but it turns out you're just like them.
Richard: Ellis--
Ellis: I gave birth to a child, Richard! That makes me a mother. It doesn't make me inept. It doesn't make me less of a woman. It doesn't make me less of a surgeon, no matter how much everyone wants it to.

Bailey: (in flashback from her intern days) I was raised to be polite, you know? Don't raise your voice. Have respect for people higher on the pecking order. Be generous to those below you. I was not raised to be a shark! Does that make me a minnow? Am I a minnow?
Joe: I really don't know.
Bailey: Now, because of my height, I'm a minnow on the inside! I'm in a sad state of affairs, Joe.
