Episode Quotes
 
Meredith: (voiceover) The dream is this - that we'll finally be happy when we reach our goals -- find the guy, finish our internship -- that's the dream. Then we get there. And if we're human, we immediately start dreaming of something else. Because, if this is the dream, then we'd like to wake up. Now, please.
 
Callie: Oh, hi.
Cristina: Hello.
Callie: Someone have bones that need resetting?
Cristina: (mumbles inaudibly)
Callie: Excuse me?
Cristina: Bridesmaids ... my mother and Burke's mother have been talking on the phone and now, they are here, with me.
Helen: To plan the wedding.
Jane Burke: Cristina led us to believe that you're friends.
(Callie laughs then suddenly stops when she realizes they're serious)
Callie: Okay, I guess.
(Helen begins to measure Callie with a tape measure)
Callie: Oh wow ... wait.
(Cristina laughs, Callie and Cristina head to the side to talk)
Callie: What are you ... are you? You're actually asking me --
Cristina: To be my bridesmaid, yeah.
 
Meredith: When I drowned, it was different for you than it was for me. Something happened to me, and I really don't know how to explain it without sounding like ... I just feel different - I wanna be better at everything, and I wanna let you in. I swear.
Derek: Did you practice that?
Meredith: With hand gestures, but I dropped those. Just, now is not the time to give up on me, okay? That´s what I'm saying.
Derek: Okay.
Meredith: Okay?
Derek: Yes.
 
Addison: You work with your ex-husband in a shrine for your ex-husband.
Naomi: It’s actually a good book. And we're friends. And we stayed friends after we divorced. It’s very healthy. We're healthy.
Addison: What happened between you and Sam?
Naomi: Addison – you and I were close in med school, but it was a long time ago.
Addison: Oh, Naomi. Come on, you can’t stay mad at me forever. I know you.
Naomi: You got fat.
Addison: I did not!
Naomi: Your hair is hideous.
Addison: It is not!
Naomi: And you're getting really, really ugly.
Addison: Aww. I missed you too.
 
Addison: It's just, where I come from elevators tend to be this kind of aphrodisiac, you know? People get on them and they just get all horny.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
When George gets on the elevator with Izzie, the fourth floor button is lit up, meaning that's the floor Izzie was going to since she was the only one on the elevator. George presses the button to go to the fifth floor, but when the elevator stops on the fourth, George gets off and Izzie stays on.
