“ Everyone figures doctors are the most responsible people they know. They hold lives in their hands. They're not flakes. They don't lose track of important details or make stunningly bad judgment calls. 'Cause that would be bad, right? We are responsible with our patients. The problem is we blow it all out at work. In our own lives, we can't think things through. We don't make the sound choice. We did that all day at the hospital. When it comes to ourselves, we've got nothing left. And is it worth it—being responsible? 'Cause if take your vitamins and pay your taxes and never cut the line, the universe still gives you people to love and then lets them slip through your fingers like water. And then what have you got? Vitamins... and nothing. ”

Quotes

Callie: The fate of my vagina is in her hands.
Lexie: It always feels like there is just one person in this world to love. And then you find somebody else, and it just seems crazy you ever worried in the first place.
Mark: I've lost too many babies in my time. Addison terminated. Sloan disappeared. I'm not letting it happen again. I don't care what kind of baby it is.
Arizona: We have a relationship, Mark. Part of that doesn't include you.
Alex: Can you even see me?
Meredith: Yeah, and you look like a real moron. I need a real eye doctor.
Callie: Ok, you know what, I'm trying to eat, which is more important than it's ever been now because I'm an incubator.
Mark: We're co-parenting us, all of us. This isn't a joke. It's not some cute arrangement where you humor me and use me for babysitting when you want to see a movie. This is my child. We're doing this together. You don't get a bigger vote. I'm a parent!
Alex: I've got a friend who can't see, and, uh, she thinks that maybe her, uh, fertility meds
Lucy: Your friend?
Alex: You think I'm making it up?
Lucy: You're looking for reasons to talk to me because the last time we spoke, you asked me out, and I said no. So now you're taking my temperature to see if I was actually busy or just not interested. You can't ask me out again, not after what you perceived to be a rejection, because even though your whole rap is about confidence, you're about as self-assured as a chihuahua. Your friend, uh, she doesn't need my help. If she did, she'd call me.
Alex: So I should just ask you out again?
Lucy: It's a lot simpler, don't you think?
Alex: Are you free for dinner?
Lucy: Nope. Busy.
Arizona: Okay, can we just be honest about the fact that this is some kind of bi dream come true? I mean, you get the woman that you love and the guy best friend who's also a great lay, and then you get a baby. I mean, you get it all. And me? This is not my dream. My dream doesn't look like this.
