(Derek pulls a dead Meredith out of the water)
(Meredith is with her mom)
Ellis: Imagine my surprise when I wake up after five years and discover you're no more than ordinary[/i])
(Meredith is in the morgue)
MVO: There's a reason surgeons learn to wield scalpels. (Jack's transplant)
Erica: Paddles. (James' surgery)
Callie: He cut off his foot. (Meredith goes to find Bailey)
Meredith: Dr. Bailey, we're gonna help, uh, rebuild a little boy's ears today, pro bono. (Richard and Erica are still talking)
Richard: His daughter was in an auto accident. Alex: No. Alex: No. And whether we try to slice the pain away with a scalpel or shove it in the back of a closet, our efforts usually fail. Callie: Norman? Cristina: Now Erica Hahn thinks I'm a fraud. Cristina: They're ashes, Meredith. Cristina: What is that noise? Did he have a stroke? George: For Callie's feelings. I also know that she would want you to have her heart. I have to get to the ER. I mean, the man is living in the hospital while he waits on a heart. I need to put my mother to rest. I need you to get me a surgeon who will remove it. It doesn't make sense. Izzie: Meredith put her mom in a baggie and brought her to work. Meredith: My mother. Norman: Right. Richard: She's been declared brain dead...
Izzie: Heart transplant.
