Meredith: [voiceover] Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.

Addison: [to Derek] I know. You're a flannel-wearing, wood-chopping fisherman. I GET IT.

Bailey: And you three--- brush up on how not to embarrass me in front of the Attendings or I'll see to it that your hearts stop beating. You clear?

George: We have to do something. Meredith has become like an exhibit like...hey... like a zoo animal...like that rare panda that everyone stares at.

Izzie: Please don't say that to her face. I think that panda died alone.

Nicole: Hi. I'm Alex's charity case.

Cristina: I like her already.

Nicole: I don't like you.

Alex: Yeah, you do.

Nicole: Jerk.

Alex: Motor mouth.

Nicole: Babysitter.

Alex: Two-wheeler.

Nicole: Now that's just politically incorrect.

Bailey: Turn around and walk away.

Derek: From what?

Bailey: From my intern.

Derek: No, I wasn’t.

Bailey: Yes you were, come on, look, you can’t do this, you don’t have the right, not anymore.

Derek: I just want to find out if she's okay.

Bailey: No, she's not. She's a human traffic accident, and everybody's slowing down to look at the wreckage. She's doing the best she can with what she has left, and I know you can't see this 'cause you're in it, but YOU CAN'T HELP HER NOW! You'll only make it worse. Walk away. Leave her to mend.

Alex: For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep, you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss, Nicole. Trust me you don't want to, 'cause when you find that right person, the first kiss...it's everything.

Meredith: [voiceover] At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say because there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.
