Episode Quotes
Izzie: (to Meredith, about Callie) Oh my God ... George is her McDreamy.

Lola: You’re getting the hang of it.
Meredith: Not really.
Lola: You give up men?
Meredith: No … yes. You know, I don’t need to actually see the vet, I just really wanna sit with Doc. I just wanna spend time with my dog.
(Finn enters the room)
Finn: Hi. I’m Finn Dandridge you must be Meredith, Doc’s other owner. We finally meet. Hello.
(Meredith looks down and starts knitting faster)

George: I can’t escape her.
Izzie: What?
George: All I wanna do is forget her, all I wanna do is just escape her. And you know, I can’t.
Izzie: You wanna escape Callie? (breathes a sigh of relief) Thank god ‘cause she is like a total freak and I’m starting to get really worried about you. (Izzie stops laughing after seeing George’s face) Sorry. Who? Oh, Meredith again.
