Richard: “Good morning.”
Meredith: “My kids don’t need to see your penis, so the same goes for you.”
Owen: “Meredith, please – “
Richard: “There was a time I would ask, but I’ve learned.”
“Look, you need to trust me. I know that I’ve tested your trust before, but you need to trust me.”
Arizona: “Look, you need to trust me. I know that I’ve tested your trust before, but you need to trust me.”
April: “I trusted you to catch this.”
“Edwards, you have been the family member from hell today. This is why we don’t doctor the people we love.”
Stephanie: “I can be impartial.”

“That doorman is just going to keep opening that door, letting love out then letting it back in again and then letting it walk right by him.”
Meredith: “They’re in love. … I caught them. … Just holding hands. Very PG. Nothing like what I saw this morning.”
Jo: “They’re in love. That’s sweet.”
Meredith: “It’s sad. They have love right in front of them. That doorman is just going to keep opening that door, letting love out then letting it back in again and then letting it walk right by him.”
– Discussing their patient
“If you want your daughter, you’re going to have to fight like you’ve never fought.”
“If you want your daughter, you’re going to have to fight like you’ve never fought. You’re going to have to stand up for yourself and believe you deserve it. You want to lie down? You don’t get to.”
– Richard to Arizona
“You shut up. I taught you that.”
Andrew: “Okay, Stephanie, Kyle is out of surgery.
Stephanie: “It is Dr. Edwards.”
Andrew: “Yeah, you know with the loved ones, we like to use the first name basis.”
Stephanie: “You shut up. I taught you that.”
Andrew: “Okay, well, the surgery went as planned.”
Stephanie: “I know. Or Dr. Shepherd would be here. We always send the B-team when a surgery goes well.”
“I can’t be your doctor. If I’m gonna be your doctor, then I can’t be your friend. And I want to be your friend.”
– Arizona to April and Jackson
“No, I chose me.”
Stephanie: “I broke up with Kyle. … I just can’t sit in the waiting room. I can’t handle it. I need to be on the other side of the ride line. I need to be helping people and fixing people, and I can’t do that if I’m with him, so – ”
Jo: “So you chose surgery.”
Stephanie: “No, I chose me.”
“Because it seemed like you were when we saw his thing.”
Maggie: “We figured you’d be staying at Owen’s place.”
Amelia: “No, I told you there is no me and Ow – we’re not a thing.”
Maggie: “Oh, because it seemed like you were when we saw his thing.”
“Get it together, sisters.”
“You are a thing. It’s happening, all the time, and it should, but not on my couch. … You have happiness and you keep throwing it away. Stop the drama, just get on with it already. … You do it too. You fell for an intern and freaked out because it was against the rules? Who cares about that? No one. Get it together, sisters.”
– Meredith to Amelia about Owen and Maggie about Andrew
“Let’s screw some things up.”
Amelia: “You and I are not the kind of people who say ‘I love you.’ At least, I’m not anymore because I know better. It’s a lie. You don’t just meet your perfect match and then everything is beautiful and perfect and that’s not how life works, and if anyone understands that, it is you and me.”
Owen: “I’m having trouble understanding you right now.”
Amelia: “Oh, stick with me. I create these obstacles out of dead people and drugs that I may or may not do and sisters-in-law and I know that I make this tough. It feels like work. ‘Cause it’s gonna be work. If you and I move forward together, it is harder to love somebody than to walk away from them. … This is messy and scary and god, Owen it scares the life out of me.”
Owen: “I’m scared too. If you and I decide to be together, I mean, really together, I will wind up screwing all of this up. “
Amelia: “Me too. I screw everything up. All the time.”
Owen: “Oh well. Amelia, let’s screw some things up.”

If it’s on TV — especially if it’s a procedural or superhero show — chances are Meredith watches it. She has a love for all things fiction, starting from a young age with ER and The X-Files on the small screen and the Nancy Drew books. Arrow kicked off the Arrowverse and her true passion for all things heroes. She’s enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that her latest obsession is Prodigal Son.
