EXPLORE All The Shades of Grey

George: [voiceover] Okay, so, sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. Bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret, regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there. But...still. Something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yet, we do it anyway. What I'm saying is...we reap what we sow. what comes around goes around. It's karma and, any way you slice it...karma sucks.

Izzie: [about Alex] What? So I slept with him again. So I'm a big whore. A big horny whore who can't get enough. Can we get over the shocked silence already?

Michael: What exactly do you mean when you say blood in the ventricle?

Rick: Oh my god his brain is bleeding?

Derek: Well there’s no need to panic. It’s a small amount of blood. And these injuries often resolve themselves.

Rick: Yeah but what if it doesn’t? Will he lose IQ points? Because he’s very smart and that’s important to him. He likes to be smart. [to Michael] Do you think we should sue that little brute that hit the ball? Or the coach? We could sue the coach.

Michael: Shawn loves the coach.

Rick: Shawn’s brain is bleeding!

Cristina: Stop pouting.

George: I'm not pouting.

Cristina: Oh please, I don’t even have to look at you, I can feel you pouting.

Burke: Ahem.

Cristina: I'm not being inappropriate, he's acting like she skinned his puppy.

Burke: That’s not nice.

Cristina: Well, I'm not a nice person.

George: It's just that, I believe in Karma. You know, good things happen to good people. At least, I thought that was the way the universe works.

Cristina: How can you think that and practice medicine?

George: Fine! I'm not saying that everybody who gets sick, or everybody that dies is bad, I think there is a balance. Or there should be a balance.. There should be some sort of balance. That's all.

Burke: Good god, O'Malley, what the hell did Grey do to you?

Alex: All right. So you slept with O'Malley. Big deal. Get over it already.

Meredith: He told you?

Alex: What? No. I...I was just kidding! Well, it's not like I should be surprised.

Meredith: Why not?

Alex: Because when your life is sucky, you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It’s your thing. Whatever. I find it charming.

Meredith: Well- you sleep with inappropriate women when you're sober.

Alex: Hey! Izzie forgave me for that! Why are you trying to piss me off?

Meredith: You're trying to suggest that it's OK for you to sleep with Olivia, but not OK for me to sleep with George.

[George walks in]

George: You told him?!

Meredith: George wait! It's not what you think!

George: Wow, when I'm wrong about someone, I'm REALLY wrong!

Alex: Dude! Chill!

George: I'M NOT -- I WILL NOT CHILL.

Izzie and Cristina: What's wrong?

Alex: Baby boy's freaking out!

Izzie: We can see that--

Izzie and Cristina: Why is he freaking out?

Meredith: George! Wait, we need talk about this!

George: Yeah, you want to talk now because you told everyone that we had sex!

Izzie: You had sex?

Cristina: You had sex with George?

George: You didn’t tell them?

Meredith: No

George: DAMMIT!!!

Denny: Do you believe in karma?

Izzie: Actually I do.

Denny: I think you might be mine.

Izzie: You must have been very, very good to deserve me.

George: So she really didn't tell you about it?

Cristina: No. Why, is that a bad thing?

George: Well, she tells you everything. So it didn't matter enough to her to even talk about it.

Cristina: George, the pity thing? Not good. If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more.

Meredith: There’s a suitcase in the hall.

George: I was just getting my shirt.

Meredith: There’s a suitcase.

George: Yeah, I don’t live here anymore. Excuse me... Why? I just want to know, why, if you didn’t want to...

Meredith: I didn't know I didn't want to. You were there, and you were saying all the right things, and I was sad, and so I thought, maybe I’ve been overlooking what's been in front of me, and if I just give it a chance, because you're George, and you're so great...I didn't know I didn't want to...until I knew I didn't want to.

George: Yeah, ok.

Meredith: Can we please just go back to everything the way it was?

George: I don’t know how to go back. No, I'm done. We're done

George: [voiceover] One way or another our karma will leave us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind. One way or another, our karma will always find us. And the truth is, as surgeons, we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor. No matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma. It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about our karma. It's not unfair. It's not unexpected. It just...evens the score. And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass...well, it goes without saying. We do it anyway.
