- Mr. Duff: Hello! They're not seizures, they're visions. I'm psychic.
- Dr. Cristina Yang: Of course you are. And I'm a chicken.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Where are we?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: I'm gonna tell you. All right. My mother's maiden name, Maloney. I have four sisters. I have, uh, nine nieces. Five nephews. I like coffee ice cream, single-malt scotch, occasionally a good cigar. I like to fly fish. And I cheat when I do the crossword puzzle on Sunday. And I never dance in public. Um, favorite novel, The Sun Also Rises. Favorite band, The Clash. My favorite color is blue. I don't like light blue, indigo. The scar right here on my forehead, that's why I don't ride motorcycles anymore. And I live in that trailer. All this land is mine. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it. So that's it. That's all you've earned for now. The rest you're just... just gonna have to take on faith.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I want facts, and until I get them, my pants are staying on.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Or you could just roll with it, be flexible. See what happens.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I'm not flexible.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Now there I disagree.
- Devo Friedman: You don't believe in anything
- Dr. Alex Karev: My mother used to pray to Saint Jude for me.
- Devo Friedman: How appropriate. Patron saint of lost causes.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [voiceover] You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be. White dress, Prince Charming who'd carry you away to a castle on a hill... You'd lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming. They were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up. One day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely 'cause almost everyone still has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they'll open their eyes and it will all come true. At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale might be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important that it's happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away.
- Dr. Cristina Yang: Dr. Bailey, I want off the psychic case, I'll take whatever you've got. Can I switch?
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Ask nicely.
- Dr. Cristina Yang: What - this is me doing nicely
- Mr. Duff: You're into me. I can tell. "Dr. Small and Angry" was a hot appetizer, but you, Doc, are a smorgasbord of lust.
- Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: Mr. Duff, you're pressing your luck.
- Mr. Duff: Would you press it for me?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: ive me something to go on. Anything. What are your grandparent's names?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: I don't have grandparents.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Where'd you grow up? What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? Where'd you spend your summer vacations?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Lighten up. It'll be good for your blood pressure.
- [Stands and leaves Meredith alone]
- Dr. Meredith Grey: Oh don't you tell me to lighten up. I'll lighten up when I... feel light.
- Dr. Alex Karev: [Alex enters Devo's room, she's praying in Hebrew against the wall] Does the wall ever bow back?
- Devo: I call myself Esther.
- Dr. Alex Karev: [pulling down the blanket revealing a long jean skirt] Nice skirt Esther, what are you? Amish?
- Devo: Get a life, haven't you ever seen an Orthodox Jew?
