What Have I Done to Deserve This? (2006)

T.R. Knight: Dr. George O'Malley

Quotes 

• Dr. George O'Malley : Why? I just wanna know... why you - if you didn't want to.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : I didn't know I didn't want to. You were there and you were saying all these perfect things and I was sad. And so I thought "Maybe... maybe I've just been overlooking what's been in front of me... and if I just give it a chance, because you're George and you're so great." I didn't know I didn't want to until I knew I didn't want to.

  Dr. George O'Malley : Yeah. Okay.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Can we please just go back to everything the way it was?

  Dr. George O'Malley : I don't know how to go back. No. I'm done. We're done.

• Dr. Cristina Yang : Stop pouting.

  Dr. George O'Malley : I'm not pouting.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Oh please, I don't even have to look at you, I can feel you pouting. Whatever Meredith did, it wasn't on purpose, so get over it already.

  Dr. Preston Burke : Ahem...

  Dr. Cristina Yang : I'm not being inappropriate, he's acting like she skinned his puppy.

  Dr. Preston Burke : Yang, that's not nice.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Well, I'm not a nice person.

• Dr. George O'Malley : [Narrating]  Okay so sometimes, even the best of us make rash decisions - bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're gonna regret the moment, the minute - especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not "regret" regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there but still, something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know'll probably turn around and bite us in the ass yet we do it anyway. What I'm saying is; we reap what we sow. What comes around goes around. It's karma and, any way you slice it, karma sucks.

• Dr. George O'Malley : [Narrating]  One way or another our karma will lead us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind. One way or another our karma will always find us. And the truth is, as surgeons we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor. No matter how hard we try, we can't escape our karma. It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about karma. It's not unfair. It's not unexpected. It just evens the score. And even when we're about to do something we know will probably tempt karma to bite us in the ass well, it goes without saying, we do it anyway.
