Ellen Pompeo: Dr. Meredith Grey

Quotes 

• Dr. Meredith Grey : [opening voiceover]  In order to get a good diagnosis, doctors have to constantly change their perspective. We start by getting the patients point of view, though they don't often have a clue what's going on. So we look at the patient from every possible angle. We rule things out. We uncover new information trying to get to what's actually wrong. We're asking for second opinions hoping we'll see something others might have missed. For the patient, a fresh perspective can mean the difference between living and dying. For the doctor, it can mean your picking a fight with everyone who got there before you.

• Dr. Meredith Grey : [closing voiceover]  When we're heading towards an outcome that's too horrible to face, that's when we go looking for a second opinion. Sometimes, the answer we get just confirms our worst fears but sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem. Make you see it in a whole new way. After all the opinions have been heard and every point of view has been considered, you finally find what you were after, the truth. But the truth isn't where it ends. That's just where you begin again with a whole new set of questions.

• Dr. Cristina Yang : I'm putting myself in a time out before I kill someone.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Have you seen Bailey? She was supposed to sign my discharge papers after her appy?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Oh, good, go home, get better and then come back, 'cause I need you.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Are the Mercy West people that bad?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : They're everywhere and there are more of them than us, and they're kicking our asses. God, I miss Izzie. We need more "uses", so get back here.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : I have to be discharged first. You want to forge Bailey's signature?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : No, that'll get me fired. Ooh, ask one of the new ones to do it. Get them fired.
