Episode Quotes
 
Meredith: (voiceover) At some point, maybe we accept that the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves the reality is better. We convince ourselves that it's better to never dream at all. But the strongest of us, the most determined of us, we hold onto the dream. Or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We awake to find ourselves against all odds, feeling hopeful. And if we're lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life, the true dream, is being able to dream at all.
 
Addison: What are you doing?
Pete: I'm going to kiss you. I'm going to kiss you with tongue. I'm going to kiss you so you feel it. Okay?
Addison: Okay.
 
Pete: You look good. You look beautiful. Sam told me I had to stay away from you because your Naomi’s friend.
Addison: Stop it.
Pete: What?
Addison: You're flirting.
Pete: What’s wrong with flirting?
Addison: What’s wrong with it? What’s wrong? What’s wrong is that I don’t have time for it. I am out of time. I missed my chance. And now I have 2 eggs left, I might as well have no eggs left. I am eggless. Naomi says she’s dried up? I’m the one who's dried up. I’m all barren and dried up. And I’m clearly wasting my time on men. I mean I might as well take up a hobbies. Like needlepoint or collecting those ceramic dolls because that’s what dried up women do – they do needlepoint. They don’t waste there time flirting with men who clearly just want to get laid. They don’t waste their time telling overly personal information about there eggs to total strangers. Oh my God! I'm sorry.
 
Violet: What’s the matter, Cooper?
Cooper: I don’t go to hookers, I don’t go to strip clubs. I meet women on the internet, who want to meet me. So I like them a little younger and a little dirtier. Is that wrong?
(Naomi and Violet stare at him)
Cooper: It's wrong?
Naomi: You need to meet a grown up. You need to date someone your own age.
Violet: Someone without a porny internet name and perhaps no criminal past.
Naomi: A nice girl.
Violet: A reliable girl.
Naomi: Someone who you can have a relationship with.
Violet: You’re a respected doctor.
Naomi: Go out in the real world. Meet a woman your own age and go out.
Violet: Be a man.
 
Mark: Go ahead. I would love to have an excuse to lay you out.
Alex: I didn't do anything.
Mark: Whatever you didn't do sent Addison running through the hills.
