Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Dr. Meredith Grey : For most people, a hospital is a scary place. A hostile place. A place where bad things happen. Most people would prefer church, or school, or home. But I... grew up here. While my mom was on rounds, I learned to read in the O.R. gallery. I played in the morgue. I colored with crayons on old E.R. charts. The hospital was my church... my school... my home. The hospital was my safe place... My sanctuary. I love it here. Correction: loved it here.

• Dr. Meredith Grey : [to Cristina]  Hey. Did you get that page? Lockdown?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Yeah, I mean, whatever. It means we can't leave. I never leave here anyway, so what do I care?

  [Meredith laughs] 

  Dr. Cristina Yang : You know what? It's probably just a drill. Or like, a psych patient got out. Or a baby went missing from the nursery. Or there's an axe murderer on the loose.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Axe murderer would be fun.

• Dr. Derek Shepherd : [to Cristina and Meredith]  Hey, what are you doing here?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Uh... walking.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : We're in lockdown.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Yeah, we're not walking outside.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : That's not what lockdown means. It means stay where you are.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Did you know that's what it...?

  Dr. Meredith Grey : No, I thought it meant...

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Look, get in here.

  [puts Meredith and Cristina in a supply closet] 

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : There's a shooter loose in the hospital. Stay in here. Don't move. I'll come back and get you when it's clear.

• Dr. Cristina Yang : [about the shooter]  That's the guy from the elevator.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : What do you mean? What?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : It's the guy from the elevator. He asked me for directions, how to get to the Chief's office.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : I... I don't...

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Meredith, the guy with the gun is looking for Derek.

• Dr. Derek Shepherd : [to Meredith]  I hate that you're so happy.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Derek, there's gonna be lots of dirty sex for you tonight. Look forward to that.
