- Female laywer: ...But I'm gonna tell you... the one thing that all custody cases have in common is that they are always a battle. And no matter what, even if you win, you will still feel like you lost something... So, are you sure this is a battle you want to fight?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: I just don't understand how you didn't see it happen.
- Dr. Ben Warren: You do. You know. You should know. You're surgeons. You know what it's like. You... When you operate, when you control if a person breathes another breath, when... when you hold their beating heart in your hand, when you are responsible for that life, you don't see or hear or feel anything else... The rest of the world just disappears. You know that. You all do. You can't tell me you don't.
- Dr. April Kepner: You want to feel something unbelievably awesome?
- [Takes Jackson's hand onto her belly]
- Dr. Jackson Avery: Oh, is that a kick?
- Dr. April Kepner: Yeah.
- Dr. Jackson Avery: He's kicking?
- Dr. April Kepner: Or she's kicking.
- Dr. Jackson Avery: This baby can kick.
- Dr. April Kepner: Our baby can kick.
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: [to Ben] To be clear, it's a six-month suspension from the residency program.
- Dr. Ben Warren: I'm suspended from the hospital?
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Yes.
- Dr. Ben Warren: How do you... Do you have any idea how far behind I'll fall? I'll never get caught up. What am I supposed to learn from this?
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Do you feel even the slightest remorse?
- Dr. Ben Warren: Yes. Yes! How can you ask me that? Of course I do! All I do is play it over again in my mind, trying to figure out how I could change it. Of course I do. But six months... it's... it's not discipline. For a surgeon, that's a death sentence. I might as well drop out now.
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: That's all, Dr. Warren.
- Dr. Ben Warren: I tried to save her the only way I know how.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [voiceover] Surgeons have a saying: all bleeding must stop. It's sort of our version of "this too shall pass". Every crisis will eventually come to an end. You either save your patient, or you won't. So, one way or the other, the bleeding will stop. Actually, as far as sayings go, this one's really not all that comforting. All bleeding must stop. Sometimes, it does so at a cost. You lose the arm, remove the organ. You choose to live with the loss because at the end of the day, you'll do whatever you can to stay alive and sometimes, by some miracle, it works. The bleeding stops, but sometimes, now matter how hard you try, it's still not enough.
- Dr. Jackson Avery: [to April] All right, I have been going over the paperwork, you know, for the lawyer. The prenup, post-nup, whatever.
- Dr. April Kepner: You know, I just... I don't need this.
- Dr. Jackson Avery: At first glance, it was actually really frustrating, you know, 'cause I wasn't finding anything that was actually gonna help my case. It was just so fair. Um, and I realized that was because it was written by two people who really loved each other, two people who really wanted to protect each other, who really wanted what was best for each other. And, April, I, uh... I don't know where those people went. I don't know if we can fix us, April. I don't know if we should. But I know I don't like who I am turning into. I don't want to treat you... This person who wrote this, who signed this, was your best friend. You were my best friend, April, my favorite person and I realized that that's who I should be dealing with. We should treat each other the way we did on this paper.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: [to Callie] Long-distance relationships aren't impossible.
- Dr. Callie Torres: Yeah, I don't know if we can survive long distance. I'm so afraid that it'll all fall apart.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: hen don't let it. I mean, decide you want it to work and make it happen. It's New York. It's a 6-hour flight. It's weekends and phone calls. You can figure it out. You will. You should.
- Dr. Maggie Pierce: [to Nathan] You don't owe me an explanation, obviously, but you're a good guy and a great surgeon, and I just... Why?
- Dr. Nathan Riggs: I didn't lie to Meredith.
- Dr. Maggie Pierce: It's fine. Forget it.
- Dr. Nathan Riggs: Look, everything I told her was true. There was a patient. There was a helicopter. I just left some parts out. The part where we fought... where I cheated... where I failed the best person I've ever met, the only woman I've ever loved. And those parts are for me and Megan. You're right. I don't owe anyone that. I made a mistake, a big one and I've paid for it ever since.
