» 1.01, “A Hard Day’s Night”
MEREDITH: That was amazing. You practice on cadavers, you observe, you think you know what you’re gonna feel like standing over that table but…that was such a high. I don’t know why anybody does drugs.
DEREK: Yeah…
MEREDITH: Yeah.
RE-WATCHING SEASON 1:
» Derek Shepherd
“My mother’s maiden name? Maloney. I have four sisters. I have nine nieces. Five nephews. I like coffee ice cream, single malt scotch, occasionally a good cigar. I like to fly fish and I cheat when I do the crossword puzzle on Sunday. I never dance in public. Ahhh…favorite novel: The Sun Also Rises. Favorite band: The Clash. Favorite color’s blue, I don’t like light blue…indigo. This scar right here on my forehead, that’s why I don’t ride motorcycles anymore. And I live in that trailer. That’s all you’ve earned for now. The rest you’re just…gonna have to take on faith”

RE-WATCHING SEASON 1:
» Izzie Stevens
“You wanna see it? You really wanna see it? Fine! Let’s look at that tattoo up close and personal, shall we? And what are these? Oh, my God! Breasts! How does anybody practice medicine holding these things around?! And what have we got back here? Let’s see if I remember my anatomy…Gluts, right? Let’s study them, shall we? Gather around and check out the booty that put Izzie Stevens through med school! Have you had enough or should I continue because I have a few more very interesting tattoos. You wanna call me Dr. Model? That’s fine. Just remember that while you’re sitting on 200 grand of student loans, I’m out of debt.”
RE-WATCHING SEASON 1:
» Meredith Grey
“The game. They say a person either has what it takes to play…or you don’t. My mother was one of the greats. Me, on the other hand…I’m kinda screwed. There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game…and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here’s the thing: I love the playing field.”
You and me. It’s not the thrill of the chase. It’s not a game. It’s…it’s your tiny ineffectual fists. And your hair. Smells good. And you’re very, very bossy. Keeps me in line.

“I can’t think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here’s the thing. I love the playing field.”
“But we’re friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll still be here.”
