Wish You Were Here

"We all get at least one good wish in a year over the candles on our birthday. Some of us throw in more, on eyelashes, fountains, lucky stars. And every now and then, one of those wishes come true. So what then? Is it as good as we hoped? Do we bask in the warm glow of our happiness or do we just notice we’ve got a long list of other wishes waiting to be wished. We don’t wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach. We wish because we need help and we’re scared and we know we may be asking too much. We still wished though because sometimes they come true."

Quotes

 * Mark: I'm telling you, these interns are out of control.
 * Callie: Stalkers.
 * Mark: Sexed-up stalkers.


 * Meredith: (to Cristina) Hmm.... Well, to some of us surgery comes naturally, others, have to practice.


 * Meredith: All crimes are crimes of passion. There's always a reason. People don't do stuff like that because they forget it's illegal.


 * Owen: Seems like you're short of a friend today, so I thought I'd fill in.
 * Cristina: Whatever. Colleagues aren't friends, they're competitors.
