  Episode Summary  
Thanksgiving proves to be a difficult holiday for both the interns and residents. Izzie plans a big dinner, but it doesn't look like all the invited guests will show up.

  Episode Quotes  
Addison: Derek, are you done hurting me back? If not, I need to special order a thicker skin.
 
Bailey: Dr. Kent.
Dr. Kent: Yes.
Bailey: I'm the surgical resident assisting you today. I know you're subbing in from Mercy West, so if there's anything I can do to help you --
Dr. Kent: Look I'm only here for one day and I don't need my ass kissed. All I need is to tell you what to do and you do it. And I don't like mistakes.
Bailey: I don't make mistakes.
Dr. Kent: Whatever, there's only one resident I want in my OR; a guy they call the Nazi. Do you know him?
Bailey: The Nazi?
Dr. Kent: He gets a great word of mouth, stellar rep, balls the size of Texas?
Bailey: That big. Sounds like an impressively talented man, this 'Nazi.'
Dr. Kent: Do you know him or not.
Bailey: Never heard of "him" but I'll be sure to keep an eye out.
Dr. Kent: For now you can work on smaller cases. A guy just came in to curtain 3. Page me if you get confused.
Bailey: I'll be sure to do that. (to Meredith, as Dr. Kent walks away) Like I said the stupidity of the human race.
 
Bailey: You are a surgical junkie. Go home!
Richard: Adell is already mad. I'm in trouble no matter what ... and there's a wipple happening in OR2.
Bailey: Go home, right now!
Richard: You know this kind of treatment is the reason they call you the NAZI!
(Dr. Kent's eyes open wide and he spins around to look at the Nazi he has been looking for all day and sees Bailey)
Bailey: Happy Thanksgiving.
 
Cristina: Joe thank God!
Joe: Hey this is my boyfriend Walter.
Cristina: Whatever. Tell me you brought liquor.
Joe: I brought pie. Pumpkin.
Cristina: You’re a bartender!
Joe: Did you bring scalpels?
