Meredith: [voiceover] Many people don't know that the human eye has a blind spot in its field of vision. There is a part of the world that we are literally blind to. The problem is, sometimes our blind spots shield us from things that really shouldn't be ignored. Sometimes our blind spots keep our lives bright and shiny.

Meredith: Today is the day people, today is the day when dark and twisty Meredith disappears forever, and Bright and Shiny Meredith takes her place! You're probably not gonna want to be friends with me anymore, because the sheer intensity of my happiness will make your teeth hurt, but that's OK, because life is good. Life is good.

Mark: It's bring-a-hot-blond-to-work day and no one told me?.

Izzie: [laughs and feigns sneeze] Sexual harrassment.

Mark: There you are! What, did you go all the way to New York for my pastrami?

Alex: Extra spicy, extra lettuce, light on the mayo.

Addison: Mark, what are you doing?

Mark: Lunch. Want my pickle?

Addison: Seattle Grace is a teaching hospital, part of your job is to teach, your interns aren't your slaves.

Mark: Fine, no pickle for you!

Alex: Yang decanulated a heart. Why is Alex not suprised?

Izzie: Izzie isn't either. Last week, Izzie was digging through crap, this week she's fondling man boobs. No decanulating hearts for Izzie!

George: Why aren't you bragging about decanulating the heart?

Cristina: I didn't decanulate the heart.

Izzie: Izzie and Alex do not believe you.

Meredith: Okay, what are you two doing?

Izzie: [giggles] Izzie and Alex have a patient who speaks about himself in the third person.

Alex: They thought it was annoying at first, but now they kinda like it.

Meredith: Good! Is it gonna stop soon?

Cristina: What happened? This morning you were all bright and shiny, asking to be kicked in the face.

Meredith: I am. I'm bright. I'm shiny.

Cristina: Yeah.

Izzie: Izzie thinks that this whole "Bright and Shiny" thing is getting old.

Alex: Alex agrees.

Derek: We think you're depressed.

Chief: Both of you?

Derek and Addison: Yes

Chief: Well for the two of you to agree on something I must be damn near suicidal.

George: I don't get you people.

Meredith: Us, with the boobs? We make a lot of bad decisions.

George: [to Cristina] Do you know why I picked you to be my Dad's intern? Because you are a robot. You're a frickin' robot in a white coat who never makes a mistake. Most of the time I appreciate that, most of the time I really feel like I have something to learn from you, but right now...right now I need you to try, just for a minute, I need for you to try to be a human being.

Cristina: George is the best.

Mr. O'Malley: What?

Cristina: He's the best intern. He's a good doctor, and a good person, and... whatever happens, I just thought you should know that you raised a good person.

Meredith (voiceover): When it comes to our blind spots, maybe our brains aren't compensating. Maybe they're protecting us.
