Ellen Pompeo: Dr. Meredith Grey

Quotes 

• Dr. Meredith Grey : Hey.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Hey. You almost died today.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Yeah, I almost died today.

  [Derek is at a loss for words and starts heading to the door] 

  Dr. Meredith Grey : I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was, "I'm going to die today and I can't remember our last kiss," which is pathetic. But the last time we were together and happy, I... want to be able remember that, and I can't Derek. I can't remember.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : I'm glad you didn't die today.

  [Starts to leave but stops] 

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little "Dartmouth" T-shirt you look so good in, the one with the hole in the back of the neck. You'd just washed your hair and you smelled like some kind of... flower. I was running late for surgery. You said you were going to see me later, and you leaned to me, you put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. You know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. And you went back to reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed.

  [Derek starts to leave] 

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Lavender. My hair smelled like lavender... from my conditioner.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Lavender. Huh.

  [Smiles then leaves] 

• Dr. Meredith Grey : In hospitals they say you know, you know when you're going to die. Some doctors say it's a look patients get in their eyes, some say there's a scent - a smell - of death. Some think there's just some kind of 6th sense when the great beyond is heading for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's creepy because if you know, what do you do about it? Forget about the fact that you're scared out of your mind: if you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it?

• Dr. Meredith Grey : Look, I can't! No, I can't. This is crazy. Burke, you're gonna go. You go. Both of you should go.

  Dr. Preston Burke : Nobody's dying today, Grey.

  Bomb Squad Captain : Meredith, I want you to look at me. Look at me. I know this is bad. And I know that I'm this ass whose been yelling at you all day. So you pretend that I'm not; you pretend that I'm someone you like, whatever you need. But you need to listen to me.

• Dr. Meredith Grey : Is this the strangest thing that's ever happened in your O.R.?

  Dr. Preston Burke : I'd have to say that it is.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Good, 'cause I'm very competitive.

  Dr. Preston Burke : All the best surgeons are.

• Dylan Young : You've got a sense of irony.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Only when things are really ironic.

• Dr. Cristina Yang : What are you doing?

  Bomb Squad Captain : I thought Dr. Burke told you to leave.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : We're moving to an OR further away from the oxygen line... you know, in case we blow up.
