- Dr. Meredith Grey: [voiceover] There's this Bible story. Two women both claim to be the mother of the same child. King Solomon had to choose. Two mothers, only one gets the kid. Solomon came up with a plan. He proposed a 50/50 split. Literally. He offered to chop the kid in half. It all ends if one mom relinquishes her custody, or else they both stand their ground, and the kid gets torn apart. If you're wondering how the Solomon story ends, spoiler alert. The true mom would rather give her baby up than have it ripped in two, but what happens when there are two true mothers? That's a no win situation. That is an entirely different story.
- Michelle Carpio: [to Arizona] Just to be clear, Dr. Sloan and Dr. Torres were Sofia's parents and then you came around.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: No, I didn't "come around." I'm Sofia's mother. I legally adopted her.
- Michelle Carpio: Her last names are Sloan and Torres.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: I'm gonna have to stop you before you continue for your own sake. You're not going to imply that I'm any less Sofia's mother because we don't share the same DNA. Because that would be offensive. It would be offensive to anyone in the room who has an adopted child or is an adopted child, and for you to say that. I chose to be Sofia's mother! It did not fall into my lap. There was a choice and I could stay or I could run, and I chose motherhood. And it was the best choice that I ever made.
- Lucinda Gamble: [to Meredith] Callie drops Sofia off at your place sometimes when she has to work or when she has plans or when she needs a night off. Correct?
- Dr. Meredith Grey: A "night off"? Being a mom isn't a job. We don't punch in and punch out. There are no nights off. We are both single parents. That's not a dirty word, but we do need help getting our kids to where they need to be with all of their limbs intact, so we lean on each other. That's not a sign of weakness or bad parenting if that's where you're going with this. It takes a village and we have a village.
- Lucinda Gamble: Here in Seattle.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: What?
- Lucinda Gamble: The village you just mentioned, the seamless support system these mothers built, this essential network. It's all here in Seattle. Sofia's friends and her school, her teachers. Her home is here in Seattle. That's what Sofia would be leaving.
- Dr. Callie Torres: [to Arizona] No matter what the judge decides, I know that you're a good mom, too and I just want you to know this doesn't change that.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: The things you let them say about me, I would never have done that to you. Never.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: I love my child and I want her with me, but I know that, no matter how this ends, she'll survive. She'll be healthy and safe and well-taken care of and loved because we are her mothers, but there's a child at the hospital who will not survive unless I am there, so I have to... I have to go.
- Dr. Callie Torres: I was in a car accident.
- Michelle Carpio: Can you tell us what you remember about the accident?
- Dr. Callie Torres: I don't remember much, but I remember... I remember waking up on the hood of the car and I was covered in glass. I was, um, barely... I'm so sorry.
- Michelle Carpio: Take all the time you need.
- Dr. Callie Torres: I was barely conscious, um, and the only thing that I could feel was just pain all over. I could have died on the hood of that car. And I wanted to give up, but I couldn't because I was pregnant with Sofia. And if I died, she died. So... I had to fight to stay alive for my daughter's sake. Being a mother is the reason I'm still alive today.
