quotes
+ Meredith: No more using my sister like a database. We broke her. (8x19)

+ Lexie: Don't defend him. You hate him. Hate him with me.
Meredith: Lexie, I love you. But you have to grow up (7x14)

+ Meredith: Lexie, I had a miscarriage that day. April was there. That's why she
knows about my doctor's appointment. And I did know that Mark slept with Amy,
but I didn't think you cared. I can never tell what the hell going on with you two.
And as far as the psych ward goes, you were not alone. I sat on you bedside for
36 hours while you slept. You're not crazy, Lexie. You're a Grey. (7x04)

+ Meredith: Lexie, this is Alex we're talking about. Emotionally, he's like me three
years ago. You can't be having feeling for him, you realize that.
Lexie: Of course not. It's just sex. Okay? There's no feelings involved.
Meredith: Right. Because you're a no-feelings kind of girl.
Your heart lives in your vagina. (6x16)

+ Meredith: You're the guy who used to pour my cereal in the morning. That's it.
It's all I remember about you. You're not my father, you're just the guy who used
to pour my cereal. And, if you die it probably won't change my life that much. But,
it will change hers. If you die, it will break her. And, I'm not gonna let you do that.
I don't know what it's like to have a father, but I do know what it's like to have a
sister. And, it's good. (6x04)

+ Lexie: I didn't wanna do this. I didn't wanna have to come to you for anything.
Ever. So I thought if I looked up your blood type, and it was the wrong one, then
that would be it. Then I could just stop thinking about it. But I can't. Because you
have his blood. And I know that he's not your dad. I know that he was never there
for you. And, I would never ask you to give him anything. He doesn't deserve a
thing from you. He doesn't. But he's... he's gonna die Meredith. And, so I'm
asking you to give something to me. (6x04)

+ Meredith: You can stop eating now.
Lexie: Oh thank god! (5x20)

+ Lexie: I'm just sad 'cause I didn't get a chance to see you in the actual dress.
Meredith: You will.
Lexie: How? I mean, if Derek and Mark don't make up how...
Meredith: You're my sister, Lexie. You're in the wedding.
Lexie: Oh my god. I'm gonna be a brides maid? Oh my god, I don't know what to
say. (5x20)

+ Meredith: Ok, before you guys go in there and start cutting on this patient you
need to apologize to each other. If not for the patient, for me. Or, for Lexie. Look
at her! Her face is breaking out, her ass is humungous.
Lexie: It's true, I had to get the scrubs with the elastic waist band.
Meredith: If you don't apologize right now, she's not scrubbing in.
Lexie: I won't, and you can't make me! (5x20)

+ Lexie: (to Mark) If we are, if we're in a relationship, I need to be in it in front of
my sister. (5x14)

+ Derek: (to Meredith) It's nice to see you sticking up for your sister. (5x08)

+ Meredith: I'm asking as a person you're sorta related to, if there is anything
bothering you? (5x08)

+ Derek: (to Meredith) Meredith, you can't do nothing. She's your sister. (5x08)

+ Lexie: I don't know how you get up in the morning, I honestly don't. Our dad
abandoned you. And your mom by all accounts was the meanest person ever and
you can't let Derek love you and it all really, really sucks. But ever since I knew
you existed I had this fantasy about my big sister and you have failed, on every
occasion to live up to that fantasy. But I still love you, whether you are capable of
letting me or not. So, I forgive you. (4x15)

+ Lexie: I'm not stalking you. I just... I hate apples. Hate them. Think they
shouldn't be allowed to be a fruit. That's one. And... and two, I can draw really,
really well on an etch a sketch. Like, really well, like I could be a professional if,
you know, that profession existed. I play the trombone... badly. Uh, I like Math.
And I notice that you do this thing with your hands when you're trying to make a
point, like... like... like this. And I know that that's about you, but I ... I do it, too.
So it's also about me. And that's five. Five things that I'm hoping will make it a
little bit harder for you to hate me. (4x07)

+ Meredith: For other people, they need a little time before they can feel like a
family. (4x07)

+ Meredith: We don't have the same dad, Lexie. You and I, we do not have the
same dad. My dad disappeared when I was five years old and I never saw him
again. Does that sound like the dad you grew up with? I kicked a man out of my
bed in the middle of the night. The world's most perfect man, who loves me. And I
can't let him. And it doesn't take a shrink to figure it out why. Because our dad
chose you. So I'm sure you are a very nice girl, Lexie. But I hope you can
understand, you're not a girl I ever wanted to have to know. (4x02)

+ Lexie: I'm Lexie Grey. I'm your sister. (4x01)

+ How about Lexie and Meredith? Meredith’s served a painful, unwelcome dollop of the truth when Bailey tells her that she hasn’t said a kind word to her sister since she arrived at Seattle Grace. And after that fact settles on Meredith, she decides she has to give Lexie the painful truth about her mother. Meredith has been so cold to Lexie – in Lexie’s mind at least – that it’s even got her to wondering about the level of care that Susan may have received on the last day of her life. And that scene where Meredith sits down with Lexie and starts to lay out the facts of her mom’s death – where we see Lexie finally getting the painful truth – well, let’s just say it’s one of my favorite scenes in the show. - Mark Wilding; 4x03

+ Derek sees a chance for Meredith to connect with her sister, he encourages her to do so – and it works. Once Meredith talks to Lexie, she does get worried about her little sister's well being, and enlists Derek’s help keeping Little Sloan out of Little Grey. - Stacey McKee; 5x08

+ But Meredith has grown up, people, and growing means giving your dying friend whatever she wants. And it doesn’t stop there. Meredith is finally the big sister that Lexie wants and needs. I LOVE when Meredith and Lexie approach the guys in the scrub room. To see Meredith take up for her little sister makes us proud of Meredith. And the last moment with Meredith and Lexie is wonderful. Yes, we are happy that Derek and Mark mend their friendship but we are happier that Meredith is accepting her family. That she’s letting people in. That she’s growing. - Sonay Washington; 5x20

+ Here’s how it started -- Ellen Pompeo came to me on the first day of shooting and wanting to change that speech she gives to Thatcher. She wanted to add a simple line, to have Mer say “I want you to do this for her.” Because for Ellen, this story wasn’t a Mer/Thatcher reconciliation story – it was a Mer/Lexie story. It was a story about these two women, who have done this awkward dance around each other for two seasons now, finally becoming sisters. Ellen insisted that her main reason for doing what she does, for being completely vulnerable in front of the man who has hurt her in more ways than we can count at this point, was Lexie. She was doing it for Lexie. And the more I thought about that, the more I became convinced she was absolutely right. And when that became clear to me, everything sort of fell into place. That last scene when Derek’s watching Mer wake up, Lexie at her side, having slept with her all night, was even more emotional. It wasn’t just about Lexie being grateful – that was there for sure – but now it was about Lexie unconditionally loving her sister. And Mer actually loving her back. Now I don’t think they’ll be having slumber parties and pillow fights with each other any time soon, but still. From strangers two seasons ago to actual sisters is pretty amazing progress – especially for someone who’s ambivalent to the very idea of family ala Meredith Grey. - Jenna Bans; 6x04

+ Lexie’s Meredith’s sister. Her biological sister. They share blood. So why the hell is Meredith treating April more like a sister than Lexie? That’s the question running through Lexie’s mind this entire episode. She doesn’t ask Mer this right away though. Instead she gets jealous. And hilarious. I love watching Lexie be mean. It’s probably because I’m the youngest child of three. The youngest always dreams of the day they’ll have the power they never had growing up. I’ll show you, basically. That’s what I feel like Lexie’s doing to April in this episode. She’s had to suffer under Mer and Cristina for years. Now someone else can suffer. That would be April. - Pete Nowalk; 7x04
