Did we miss your favorite quote? Let us know!
Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me
This little speech by Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) always seems to come up. In the midst of Addison Montgomery's (Kate Walsh) arrival in Seattle, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) is unsure if he should be with her or Meredith. Meredith confronts him and lets it all out, leading up to the famous, "Pick me, choose me, love me."
You Are My Person
Everyone knows that Meredith is Cristina's person, but there's an exact moment when that all started. Cristina put Meredith's information down as her emergency contact before her abortion, designating her as her person from there on out.
He's Not The Sun
In Cristina's famous speech to Meredith before she left the show, she told her, "He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun, you are." Cristina reminds Meredith how amazing she is with or without Derek. Just another reason we love and miss Cristina.
Today's The Day My Life Begins
Alex Karev's (Justin CHambers) wedding vows to Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) are some of the most sentimental words we've ever heard on Grey's Anatomy. We really get to see the growth of his maturity up to this point in time. Alex has come a long way, and his love and dedication to Izzie are quite evident through his vows.
I Can't Live Like This
After Alex begs Izzie to tear up her DNR before going into surgery, she explains to him why she can't. Izzie says she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in a hospital bed, and asks Alex to try to understand. It's impossible to hold back tears for this one.
Elevator Proposal
Derek's proposal speech to Meredith was nothing short of extraordinary. He even had the walls of the elevator covered in brain scans of cases they worked on together. We bet you'll never see a proposal like that again!
My Hands Felt His Heart Stop Beating
We never really get to see the raw emotional side of Cristina, and this speech she gave to Owen showed us just that. She told the story of the time she watched her father die. Cristina further explains that this is the reason she got into medicine in the first place.
