Dr. Meredith Grey
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [voiceover] Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was like... if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult: TOTALLY overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by the hot shoes and great sex and no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Being an adult is responsibility. Responsibility really does suck. Really, REALLY sucks. Adults have to be places and do things and earn a living and pay the rent. And if you're training to be a surgeon, holding a human heart in your hands... Hello! Talk about responsibility! Kinda makes bikes and cookies look really really good, doesn't it? The scariest part about responsibility... When you skrew up and let it slip right through your fingers. Responsibility. It really does suck. Unfortunately once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided. Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences. And still, adulthood has its perks. I mean the shoes, the sex, the no parents anywhere telling you what to do... That's pretty damn good.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: [Meredith and Derek are making out in the passenger seat of his car] You know, it sounds like the party's winding down. Yeah... Listen To Me!
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [laughing] What?
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: We should probably sneak inside now.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: We've done enough sneaking for tonight. It was good sneaking, but enough sneaking.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: [pulling his shirt back up her shoulders] Yeah, I'd say we're pretty good sneakers.
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: [as they are about to kiss she knocks on the window] You mind moving this tail wagon? You blocking me in.
- Dr. Derek Shepherd: Apparently not good enough.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I think, maybe I did something... to the heart, when I was holding it. I nodded off a little. Squeezed it.
- Dr. George O'Malley: The heart's a tough muscle; it can take a squeeze or two.
