Meredith & Derek |9x16| “This is Why We Fight”
“That’s our plan. That’s the future of Seattle Grace and we invited you to be a part of it.”
Meredith & Derek |9x15| “Hard Bargain”
“I could marry you again right now. You’re so hot when you’re nefarious”
Meredith Grey |9x05| ‘Beautiful Doom”
“Sometimes, things are simply out of your control. You can’t change them. You can’t bend them to your will. It doesn’t matter if you’re already forty-five minutes late, your hair isn’t brushed, you haven’t fixed breakfast and you’re hemorrhaging brain cells by the second while you sit here. Dying, dying inside.”
WEBBER: I heard the good news. Bailey says you’re declaring general.
MEREDITH: Actually I’m not sure anymore.
WEBBER: Oh, well then. I thought it was a done deal. I mean, it makes sense since your-
MEREDITH: Because of my mother, I know, don’t you mention her too. That’s all anyone ever says: it’s in my blood, it’s my legacy. That’s why I don’t wanna do it.
CRISTINA: I mean, he knows I don’t want kids. And suddenly, I’m ruining his vision of the future.
MEREDITH: Don’t talk to me about vision. What if I never get to operate again?
CRISTINA: You could be a bartender. I had a very good time.
MEREDITH: Oh, yeah. The whole five hours you bartended.
CRISTINA: Free drinks.
MEREDITH: You stole those drinks. Joe didn’t give you free drinks.
CRISTINA: Your eyes will clear up. They will.
CHIEF: Uh, how’s it going?
MEREDITH: Oh, good. I’m good.
CHIEF: Uh, Metzger’s gonna examine you every day. Until he clears you, you don’t set a foot in an O.R.
MEREDITH: Well, I can’t hold a scalpel, but I can observe, right?
CHIEF: No, you can’t.
MEREDITH: Did he just bench me?
CRISTINA: Damn.

MEREDITH: Chief.
CHIEF: You know, I had forgotten this about your mother. She wrote everything down. She didn’t have a thought or a fragment of a thought that didn’t get scribbled in some journal. She was compulsive.
MEREDITH: Lucky for you that she did.
CHIEF: Lucky for both of us.
MEREDITH: No, for you. You knew the woman who wrote them. That’s why I gave them to you. I was happy to read them and to understand her better, but the woman I knew was different. But I am starting to realize how scared she must have been. That had to be why she was writing everything down. She must have been so scared.
CHIEF: Meredith, I…
MEREDITH: So please, go ahead. I think it’s right that you continue her work. But I really just want to cure her disease. Good night, chief.
CHIEF: Good night.
Grey’s Anatomy |7x14| P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)
Chief: Meredith… I would like to initiate a clinical trial. One that would be the next major advancement in the fight to cure type 1 diabetes.
Meredith: Wow.
Chief: And I’d like you to participate.
Meredith: But I am on Derek’s Alzheimer’s trial, so I don’t think I can do both.
Derek: Just listen.
Chief: The basis of this trial was something that I found in here.
Meredith: In my mother’s journals?
Chief: Yes. She was working on islet cell transplantation when she became ill, trying to eliminate the need for anti-rejection meds altogether. W-with her notes, drugs, and new technology, there’s no way we can’t take this the rest of the way down the field.
Meredith: We?
Chief: Well, it’s your mother’s work. I wouldn’t feel right moving forward if you weren’t a part of it.
Derek: You should look at them both. Just think about it. It’s your decision.
Chief: It’s your birthright, Meredith. It’s your mother’s legacy to you.
