The series' most vital moments are the soapy monologues the writers have sprinkled throughout.
• Meredith finally puts her foot down to profess her love for Derek
"in a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you. Pick me, choose me, love me."
• Meredith stands up to Derek after he chastises her choices in men.
"When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done. So all the boys, and all the bars, and all the obvious daddy issues, who cared? Because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore."
• Derek showing up late makes Meredith spiral with conflicting emotions.
"I had this whole thing about 'I was going to build us a house,' but I don’t build houses because I’m a surgeon. And now I’m here feeling like a lame-ass loser. I got all whole and healed and you don’t show up, and now it’s all ruined because you took so long to come home and I couldn’t even find that bottle of champagne.... I don't know if I trust you. I wanna trust you, but I don't know if I do, so I'm just gonna try. I'm gonna try and trust you because I believe that we can be extraordinary together rather than ordinary apart."
• Cristina reminds Meredith not to let Derek eclipse her:
"You are a gifted surgeon with an extraordinary mind. Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy. But he is not the sun. You are."
• Lexie professes her love for Mark Sloan .
"I love you and I have been trying not to say it. I have been trying so hard to just mash it down and ignore it and not say it.... I am so in love with you. And you're in me. It's like you're a disease. It's like I am infected by Mark Sloan. And I just can't...I can't think about anything or anybody, and I can't sleep. I can't breathe. I can't eat. And I love you."
