  Episode Quotes  
Meredith: (voiceover) We like to think that we are rational beings; humane, conscientious, civilized, thoughtful. But when things fall apart, even just a little, it becomes clear we are not better than animals. We have opposable thumbs, we think, we walk erect, we speak, we dream, but deep down we are still routing around in the primordial ooze; biting, clawing, scratching out an existence in the cold, dark world like the rest of the tree-toads and sloths.
 
Rose: (about Derek) Have you seen him?
Lexie: I have.
Rose: Have you seen his eyes?
Lexie: I -- yeah.
Rose: I'm trying to play it cool. I am playing it so so cool. I love him! (pause) Oh my God, I don't know you. I -- didn't say that.
 
Mark: I don't like her. I'm sorry, but as your friend it's my job to say I don't like Rose.
Derek: Why?
Mark: You're not even sleeping with her.
Derek: You don't like her because she's not sleeping with me? That's a little weird.
Mark: It's not weird.
Derek: It's a little weird.
Mark: Hey, if you were sleeping with Rose I could understand why you're spending time with her, but you're not. And it's, it's just I thought that, uh, you know. I thought it was just going to be you and me!
Derek: Having sex?
Mark: After! After Addison, after Meredith. I have been patient. I have waited when you partnered up with these chicks, but now they're over. And it's supposed to be just us! You and me; two guys on the prowl, on the hunt.
Derek: You're having trouble getting laid. And you need my help.
Mark: I can get laid. I can get laid whenever I want. I do get laid whenever I want. That's the point. Women are everywhere. I only have one person I can talk to.
Derek: That's sweet.
Mark: Shut up!
Derek: No, it's really warm and fuzzy.
 
Webber: (to Izzie) So chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don't lick your wounds: celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You're in a lion fight, Stevens. Just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar.
 
Cristina: Only three points for watching. You gotta do.
Izzie: I DO do!
 
George: You should have tried to steal a TV.
Lexie: I did. They were bolted to the wall.
George: Still.
 
Meredith: (voiceover)There’s a little animal in all of us and maybe that’s something to celebrate. Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, warmth, a pack to run with. We may feel caged, we may feel trapped, but still as humans we can find ways to feel free. We are each other’s keepers, we are the guardians of our own humanity and even though there’s a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can think, feel, dream and love. And against all odds, against all instinct, we evolve.
