Meredith: Are you OK?
Addison: Fine. How are you?
Meredith: I’m trying to choose between two men.
Addison: OK. Well… Good luck with that.
Meredith: How did you know Derek was the one?
Addison: Excuse me?
Meredith: I know you hate me and all, and you don’t owe me anything. Nothing. No… thing. What was I saying?
Addison: Derek.
Meredith: Right. I want him to be the one. But I would know if he was the one, right? You knew, right?
Addison: You don’t… I didn’t… know. I just… Derek’s the kind of guy… I just knew he wouldn’t hurt me. Not on purpose, anyway. Not the way I hurt him.
Meredith: He hurt me. When he chose you.
Addison: I should’ve let him go. I should have stepped aside, been a better person. I should have… A lot of things.
Meredith: Me too. A lot of things.
Addison: I don’t hate you.
Meredith: How come we never talked like this before?
Addison: The only reason we are talking like this right now is because I know you won’t remember a single word of this once the drugs wear off.

Addison: Don’t, um, don’t hurt her again.

This will always and forever be one of my favorite scenes from any show ever.

I have an aunt who, whenever she poured anything for you, would say, “Say when.” My aunt would say “Say when” and, of course, we never did. We don’t say “when” because there’s something about the possibility of more. More tequila, more love, more anything. More is better.

There’s something to be said about a glass half-full, about knowing when to say when. I think it’s a floating line, a barometer of need and desire. It’s entirely up to the individual — and depends on what’s being poured. Sometimes all we want is a taste. Other times, there’s no such thing as enough. The glass is bottomless and all we want is more.

MEREDITH: Megan — oh. Hi.
ADDISON: Weren’t you just up on three?
MEREDITH: I was. We… lost a patient, a little girl, and I was just —
ADDISON: Look, why don’t you pick a floor and stay on it and I’ll pick a floor and stay on that, because I really need a moment or two without you. Your face shows up in my head, your panties show up in my husband’s pocket. Really, you’re everywhere and I need a moment or two without you. 
MEREDITH: I get that.
ADDISON: Thanks.
       — 3.03 “SOMETIMES A FANTASY”

“Okay, here it is. Your choice? It’s simple, her or me. And I’m sure she’s really great. But Derek, I love you, 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, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.”

Secrets can’t hide in science. Medicine has a way of exposing the lies. Within the walls of the hospital, the truth is stripped bare. How we keep our secrets inside the hospital — well, that’s a little different. One thing is certain: whatever it is we’re trying to hide, we’re never ready for that moment when the truth gets naked.

That’s the problem with secrets; like misery, they love company. They pile up and up until they take over everything. Until you don’t have room for anything else. Until you’re so full of secrets, you feel like you’re going to burst.

The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they’re out in the open, like it or not. And once your secrets are out in the open, you don’t have to hide behind them anymore. The problem with secrets is, even when you think you’re in control, you’re not.

MEREDITH: Addison! Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd?
ADDISON: You bellowed, Dr. Grey?
MEREDITH: Hi.
ADDISON: You certainly are, aren’t you? [Checking her chart, surprised.] But you’re not pregnant.
MEREDITH: No. Are you okay?
ADDISON: Fine. How are you?
MEREDITH: I’m trying to choose between two men.
ADDISON: Okay, well, good luck with that. [She turns and walks toward the door.]
MEREDITH: How did you know Derek was the one?
ADDISON: Excuse me?
MEREDITH: I know you hate me and all. You don’t owe me anything. Nothing. Noooooo-thing. What was I saying?
ADDISON: Derek.
MEREDITH: Right. I want him to be the one. But I would know if he was the one, right? Right?
ADDISON: You don’t. I didn’t… know, I just… Derek’s the kind of guy… I just knew he wouldn’t hurt me. I mean, not on purpose anyway, not the way I hurt him. 
MEREDITH: He hurt me — when he chose you.
ADDISON: I should have let him go. I should have stepped aside, been a better person, I… should have… a lot of things.
MEREDITH: Me, too. A lot of things.
ADDISON: I don’t hate you.
MEREDITH: How come we never talked like this before?
ADDISON: The only reason we are talking like this right now is because I know you won’t remember a single word of this once the drugs wear off.
