Alex Karev Quotes

Amelia Shepherd: Owen, what you’re doing is beautiful. You’re fostering him. You’re… You’re being there for him when nobody else is.

Alex Karev: Ha! My foster parents sucked. No, for real. They just stuck me in a room with some other kids and then collected a check. Except for one. There was one guy. He worked nights in a warehouse. Come home, dead tired at the crack of dawn, and go straight to bed. But then, an hour later, he’d wake up, just so he could eat cereal with me and tell me, you know, “Have a good day,” before I went to school. Then he’d go back to sleep. Wasn’t much, but, you know, he just gave a crap, you know? He gave a crap, and you, my friend, you are giving so many craps right now. This man’s got it made.

Alex Karev (about Koracick): Send him home.

Amelia Shepherd: We didn’t make it into the contest. We have no funding. As much as you want to help Kimmie, you can’t help me with the physics of high-energy ultrasound. Koracick may be a tool, but he is the kind of tool that we need right now. See how I did that? Tool/tool?

Alex Karev: He doesn’t go anywhere near Kimmie. He doesn’t even get to meet her.

Amelia Shepherd: Oh, God, no. Kimmie’s got enough problems.
