| GREY'S ANATOMY OPENING QUOTE:
|
| | They train doctors slowly. They watch us practice on frogs and pigs and dead people and then live people. They drill us relentlessly, they raise us like children and eventually they take a cold, hard boot and they kick us out of the nest. |
|
|
| | GREY'S ANATOMY ENDING QUOTE: |
| | We're so busy trying to get out of that nest that we don't think about the fact that it's going to be cold out there...really freaking cold. Because growing up sometimes means leaving people behind. And by the time we stand on our own two feet, we are standing there alone. |

| GREY'S ANATOMY QUOTES Memorable Quotes, zingers and one-liners |
|
- [Meredith to Cristina]: The attendings aren't going anywhere. We're basically just playing dress up.
- [Richard to staff]: Pray people, we want God in the building today.
- [Mark to Alex]: What factors would lead a patient to want breast reduction surgery?
- [Teddy to Cristina]: We're at a crossroads Yang, a cross road where you either get in the game or I tell Richard it's time to send you home.
- [Cristina]: I shouldn't be in charge of anybody.
[Meredith]: Just put one foot in front of the other. Just get through the day.
- [Patient's mom to teen boy]: You just can't cut off the parts of your body that you don't like.
- [Cristina to patient]: I don't have a sour puss, this is just my face.
- [Mark to Richard]: I'm not seeing anyone right now...I'm not sleeping with nurses...residents...attendings... nobody...so I'm an untapped source of raw power. I have the energy of 10 men, so with 1 million dollars and my untapped stores, we can move mountains.
- [Alex to teen boy's mom]: He's a dude with breasts and he's headed for high school and there's no reason that he should be subjected to the psychological damage that comes from school yard crap. If you want your kid to be a man, let him make his own decisions.
- [Richard to Callie]:So you want me to give ortho a million dollars to level the playing field in your relationship?
[Callie to Richard]: ..and also for xenografting...
