4.01 A change is gonna come

Meredith: I...uhm....
Derek: You're not ready for this.
Meredith: No.
Derek: I asked for too much.
Meredith: I think so.
Derek: So, this is it?
Meredith: Yeah.
Derek: We're breaking up?
Meredith: We're breaking up.
Derek (walks to Meredith): We're broken up.
Meredith: It's done. (they start kissing)
Derek: Break-up kiss.
Meredith: Break-up kiss.
Derek (removes his jacket): And some break-up sex.
Meredith: Yeah, break-up sex.

Callie: What? You wanna humiliate me some more? 'Cause I get it. I suck. I suck at my job, I suck as a wife, I suck all around, so... go ahead, humiliate me some more, please.
Bailey: Hope tomorrow's better.



Alex: I filled this entire bag with coins from my patients stomach today.
Cristina: No kiddin'.
Alex (long pause): I miss Rebecca.
Cristina (long pause): I miss Burke.
Alex (holds up the bag of coins): You want some money? (Cristina smiles)


Cristina (to her interns): I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna change.
Izzie: Traumas protocol, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run. That's rule number two. (notices the interns are not following her) You're supposed to follow me.
Alex: Your first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop. And you don't complain.
Meredith: On call rooms. Sleep when you can, where you can. You know, but not with anybody. Not attendings, especially not attendings. Sleeping with attendings, not a good idea. Where was I?
George: Er, rule number three. If you're sleeping, do not wake you unless the patient is actually dying.
Cristina: The dying patient better not be dead when I get there, because not only will you have killed someone, you will have woken me for no good reason. Are we clear? (Lexie raises her hand) Yes?
Lexie: That was four rules. You said five.
Cristina: Rule number five. When I move, you move. (awkward pause as nobody moves) Go! (Cristina's interns scramble off)

Chief: Now, whether you like it or not. You and I are gonna have to talk.
Bailey: Chief...
Chief: I know that you're angry and disappointed.
Bailey: No, I'm not angry, I'm not disappointed. I'm speechless, I don't wanna talk because I'm speechless. It makes me speechless to realize that, you didn't think... I would've made an excellent Chief Resident.
Chief: And you're right. You would've made an excellent Chief Resident, but you'll make an even more excellent surgeon. You belong in the OR, Bailey. Focus on honing those skills, not on how well you can juggle schedules, or fill out paper work. Believe me I know. You'll thank me for this one day.
Bailey: Not today.
Lexie (looking at the babies): It's like a cute festival in here.
George: I delievered that one an hour ago.
Lexie: Oh, my god. Why aren't you like jumping up and down?
George: I've done this before. This is deja-vu.
Lexie: Uh.. you know, you didn't pass your intern test, it happens. It's nobodies fault, right?
George: Yeah, it's nobodies fault. Except that Callie gave Cristina the study cards and Meredith didn't write anything down and Cristina was planning a wedding and Izzie... Izzie just had to... You know, I'm responsible, I've always been the responsible one, I'm not saying 'what about me', I'm not saying 'when do I get what I want', when do I get to be somebody other than the guy who repeats his intern year, I'm not sayin' that but...
Lexie: ... But what about you?
George: Yeah!
Lexie: I didn't plan on being here. I was all set for an internship at Mass Gen., and then my mother gets the hiccups and I'm at a funeral. You know, we all have problems. Moms die, and dad's drink so much that they don't even know what year they're in and sisters... I didn't even know that there was a Meredith Grey until a coupla months ago. And she -- she doesn't even wanna talk to me. I don't-- I don't want to be here. I'd give anything to not be here. No, to have my life work out the way that I planned and to even have time to ask 'what about me'. So you change, you get over it. (pauses) I'm here now. And you... you delievered a baby today. So, stop feeling sorry for yourself.
George (pauses): You... are kind of awesome.

Izzie: George, why are you avoiding me?
George: I'm on my way to surgery.
Izzie: No, I don't mean right now. Not right now. Not one word? In 17 days. I tell you that I love you, and not one word? For 17 days? Where have you been?
George: I've been right here. Exactly where I was a year ago! I'm sorry-- I'm sorry. I'm freakin' out. I'm an intern again.
Izzie: Yeah, we're all freakin' out. We're all freakin' out. I'm in charge of a group of interns who think I'm crazy and I might actually be crazy because day one of me being in charge, and I'm obsessed with rescuing bambi. We're all freaking out.
George: Since when did you start calling me bambi?
Izzie: What? I'm not calling you bambi.
George: I - I understand. I - I expect it from Cristina or -- or Alex, but --
Izzie: I'm bambi! I'm bambi, George. If anyone in this situation is a sad little cartoon character, it's me. I'm all alone in the forest, all alone in the forest, George. And my mother's been shot by a hunter and where are you? Where the hell are you?
George: I'm on my way to surgery. (leaves)

Callie (about Alex): I don't know how you did it.
Bailey: Did what?
Callie: Get him to listen to you. To give you some respect. (Callie leaves, Izzie smirks)
Izzie: Hey, Dr. Bailey, you wouldn't happen to know anything about a... the anatomy of a deer, would you?
Bailey: Not my intern. Not my business. Not anymore. (walks away)
Chief: Hey, Dr. Bailey, how're things going?
Bailey: I wouldn't know. Ask Dr. Torres.
Chief: Miranda...
Bailey: I don't want to talk.
Chief: Miranda, it is not like you not to want to talk.
Bailey: Fine. How's your wife.
Chief (pauses): She's -- she's good. I haven't moved back in yet. She hasn't let me move back in yet. Not taking my calls. Wait, that's not what I wanna talk to you about. I wanna talk about Chief Resident. Now, we're gonna have this conversation.
Bailey: Are you ordering me to stand here and talk to you about this, Chief?
Chief: No, I'm not ordering you but I thought--
Bailey: Okay, good-bye, sir. (leaves)

Callie: Hey, there you are. I missed you this morning.
George: Yeah, I didn't wanna be late for my second first day as an intern.
Callie: Maybe you can look at it like this, you have one up on everyone. You're gonna be like the rockstar intern.
George: Yeah, I'm sure that's how everyone's gonna see me when they find out.
Callie: Or maybe, they'll see you as the daddy intern.
George: What? What did you just say?
Callie: I'm not pregnant. I mean... I might be pregnant. My boobs are a little sore so... (George looks speechless) Hey, I'm trying to cheer you up, here George. This is-- I mean, if I am knocked up, that's a good thing, right?
George: Callie, I'm just a little distracted. I mean, I'm havin' a bad day.
Callie: Okay, you're having a bad month.
George: Okay, yeah. I'm havin' a bad month. (leaves)
Callie: Love you.

Derek: Hey, how are you?
Meredith: I have a patient with a severed arm and no one seems to be able to find it. Have you seen it?
Derek: Your severed arm? No, I haven't seen a severed arm. Meredith--
Lexie (walks up): Hey, um, I'm so sorry about before, I was just so nervous about meeting you. Don't block the ER doors, I know that now.
Derek: You're the girl from the bar.
Lexie: Sorry?
Derek: The girl from the bar.
Lexie: Oh, my god. Yeah. Oh, my god. Yeah.
Derek: Yeah.
Lexie: Oh, my god. You work here?
Derek: Yeah, I do.
Meredith: Girl from the bar? I'm the girl from the bar. (Meredith walks away)
Lexie: She hates me. My sister hates me.
Derek: Meredith is your sister?
Lexie: My half sister.


Izzie (to her interns): So, this is Cristina, Dr. Yang.
Cristina: Yep, saving lives and taking names.
Izzie (whispering to Cristina): All these interns and nothing to do. And I think that I'm a really bad teacher and they hate me. And now I'm a fraud, so any chance you wanna let me on this?
Cristina: Izzie, this guy was dead, and now he's undead, so that kinda makes him like a zombie. And my personal zombie, so no you can't get in on this. Now you can go be a (loudly) fraud, somewhere else.
Izzie: I don't like you.

Mark (to Izzie): You wanna rub up against me, you're gonna have to buy me a drink first.


Meredith: You see that girl out there? The dopey, wide-eyed one? Apparentally, we're related.
George: Oh, you met Lexie?
Meredith: So, you knew. You knew about it and didn't tell me.
George: Kinda had a lot going on.


Cristina: Oh, crap, why'd you get me all excited with the sirens for a dead guy? (to interns) Who wants to see a dead guy?


Cristina (to her interns): Okay, one and two, go get stat packs. Three and four, go wait for the ambulances.
Meredith (laughs): One and two?
Cristina: Oh, no, I can't remember their names.
George (raises his hand): I don't respond to being called a number.


Callie: Is there anything I -- I should do, sir?
Chief: Save lives.
Callie: No, I - I mean as a Chief Resident, sir.
Chief: Make sure your residents run their tramuas. It's their first day on their own. (looks around) Where... are the residents that you've assigned to this ER?
Callie: Oh... I -- I, uh, I-- I paged them. I paged them. Bailey?
Bailey: What?
Callie: Uh, I paged Grey, Stevens, Yang and Karev, but they're not here yet.
Bailey: When I page them they come runnin'.
Chief: Get it together, Torres. (leaves)
Callie: Okay, you did not have to say that in front of the Chief.
Bailey: You asked ... boss.


Chief: You're avoiding me, we need to talk.
Bailey: About you choosing Dr. Torres over me to be your Chief Resident? Respectfully, no, we are not going to talk about that.


Derek: Hmm, your interns are back from holiday today.
Bailey: Not my interns. They're residents. I am free.
Derek: Well, the point is... Dr. Yang, the Burke thing, she doesn't know and I'm supposed to tell her. Burke asked me to tell her. (sighs) Any thoughts?
Bailey: Honestly always works best.
Derek: Well, that's true. Hey, do you wanna get together for a drink after work tonight?
Bailey: Why?
Derek: Well, I don't know, I just thought it might be a good idea to get together and --
Bailey: Oh, you don't have anybody to talk to.
Derek: No, I have people to talk to.
Bailey: Addison is gone. Burke isn't around. And you and Grey aren't smelling each other in the elevators anymore.
Derek: I have people to talk to.
Bailey: Who?
Derek (looks around): The chief, I have the chief to talk to. Hey, Chief, you wanna get together for a drink after work?
Chief: I don't drink.

Izzie: How's your vacation?
George: Um.. fine. Meredith can we uh..
Izzie: 'Cause mine was... I didn't do much. Hung out alone. For 17 days... which... is the last time that I saw you... The day of Cristina's wedding. Which was... (Cristina gives her a look) Well, then Mer and Cristina went on Cristina's honeymoon without me.
Alex: Girl on girl honeymoon. (laughs)
Izzie: And then Alex took a roadtrip to see Ava... without me.
Alex: I didn't go see Ava. Her name is Rebecca and I didn't go see her, I just drove in that direction.
Cristina: Why is everyone so tingly and hurt? I mean I was the one who was left at the altar. (Meredith and Izzie look at her) I'm fine, by the way, I honeymooned in Hawaii and I snorkled.


(About the interns)
Cristina: I hate them.
Meredith: Oh, you do not hate them, you hate you.
Izzie: That was hideous, I feel like a fraud.
Alex: I rocked it. I think I'm the new nazi.
Cristina: Oh, you are not the new nazi.


Guy Intern (about Izzie): I heard that she like freaked out and killed a guy.
Girl Intern: Great, we got stuck with a dud.


Cristina (about George being an intern again): Hey, is this how it's gonna be all year, because bambi has got to deal.
Izzie: Hey, at least he came back.
Meredith: Yeah, at least he came back.
Alex: Dude, he failed his exam and got left back in kidnegarden.
Izzie: He won't even look at me.
Meredith: Have you seen Burke?
Cristina: No. Have you seen Derek?
Meredith: No.
Izzie: Wait, you haven't seen either of them since the wedding?
Meredith and Cristina: Nope.
Izzie: And you're all fine?
Meredith and Cristina: Yep.
Izzie: Wow. You're either incredible healthy or completely messed up.


Izzie (to her new interns): I know you didn’t wake up this morning expecting this was how your first day was gonna go. You thought you’d get to re-attach an arm or observe brain surgery; instead you helped save the life of a deer. You can bitch and complain about it, or you can adjust your expectations. Cause like it or not, you are stuck with me and I’m the kind of doctor who lets a little kid convince her she can do the impossible. Oh! Plus, when I woke up this morning, I thought today was gonna go a lot differently too. I thought I was gonna get the good interns instead I get stuck with the duds. So I have to adjust my expectations as well.


(Derek sees Mark and begins to walk away)
Mark: I'm the one that can use a friend. (Derek pauses) I said, that you could use a friend, I can use a friend.
Derek: Look Mark, I know..
Mark: I didn't come to Seattle for Addison. I didn't come to Seattle to be chief. I came to Seattle for you. (Derek gives him a look) Okay, I came to Seattle to get you back. (Mark and Derek share an awkward pause) I know I want to take it back, but I already said it. So... (laughs)
Derek: Yeah, (smiles) Maybe, we should have a drink.
Mark: We could.
Derek: Yeah, not today. (Mark smiles)


Mark: I really am up for a drink, you know if you need to talk.
Derek: What would I need to talk about?
Mark: Meredith. You were lucky, man. That girl jerked you around.
Derek: You have no idea what you're talking about.
Mark: Hey, I'm just... seem like you can use a friend right about now.
Derek: Meredith's mother never wanted her and her father was never man enough to hang around. She has a right to be damaged and us, together? It's a big step for her. Her best friend gets left at the altar, and all she sees now is things like this, they don't work. She panics. She wants this, she doesn't know how to have it. And you know what? It's not her fault. So don't ever talk to me about Meredith Grey again because you do not know what you are talking about. And I don't want a friend. (leaves)


Derek: Do you wanna have a drink later?
Cristina: A what?
Derek: A drink. Gimme one reason why we can't hang out.
Cristina: I don't like you.
Derek: You don't like me because of Meredith?
Cristina: I don't like you because you're you.
Derek: Hmm. How is Meredith by the way? Is she okay?
Cristina: She's fine.
Derek: She's always fine. That's her problem.
Cristina: We're fine people... We do fine. We're fine. (pauses) How's Dr. Burke? I haven't seen him around today, is he off today?
Derek (pauses): Dr. Burke handed in his letter of resignation two weeks ago. He wanted me to tell you.
Cristina: He's g-gone?
Derek: Sorry.
Cristina: Oh, don't be. I'm...
Derek: ... Fine?
Cristina: Yep.


Cristina: Still no sign of Burke. Ooh, you got a severed arm.
Meredith: My arm. Mine. Get away from it.
Cristina: Maybe he's not on today.
Meredith: Maybe you should just see him and get it over with.
Cristina: No, no, no. If I never see him again, I won't care.
Meredith: Well, I've seen Derek and Derek has seen me.
Cristina: And?
Meredith: And plus he seems to know Lexie.
Cristina: And?
Meredith: More akward. Your intern is my half sister, how weird is that?
Izzie (walks in): Well, I'm trying to save Bambi and my interns think that I'm a loser. Ooh, severed arm.
Alex (walks in): Callie's a bitch.
Izzie: Word.
Alex: She won't lemme off my patient. There's nothing wrong with him except he's a nut job. Severed arm.
Izzie: Anyone know anything about deer?
Alex: Tastes good.
Izzie: Evil.
Cristina (to George, who just walked in): Oh, George! Severed arm. Plus, Meredith's half sister is my intern, Izzie is playing Doctor Doolittle... oh and Alex hates your wife.
George: Dr. Sloan is ready for the arm. (leaves)
Meredith: I'll say it. George is being an ass.
Izzie: It's my fault. I said some things and now he's not talking to me.
Alex: I don't know what he's got to complain about, those new chick interns are hot.
Meredith: He's married, Alex.
Izzie: Yeah, he's married.
Alex: You know who's seriously hot? That Lexie girl. (Cristina laughs)
Meredith: Get out before I hurt you.
Alex: I'm going over Callie's head to Bailey.
Cristina: Uh, Callie is over Bailey's head...
Meredith: Spiritually, Bailey's over everyone's head.


Meredith (voiceover): Change… We don’t like it. We fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here’s the truth; sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes… oh, sometimes change is good… sometimes change… is everything.


Meredith (voiceover): In the practice of medicine, change is inevitable. New surgical techniques are created, procedures are updated, level of expertise increase. Innovation is everything. Nothing remains the same for long. We either adapt to change… or… we get left behind.

4.02 Love/Addiction

(they are lying in bed naked)
Meredith: This is the best break-up ever.
Derek (laughs): I don't know why we didn't break-up along time ago. (he turns off the light, and moves to cuddle with her)
Meredith: What're you doing?
Derek: Sleeping.
Meredith: No. No, sleepovers.
Derek: Yes, come on, please. It's three in the morning, I gotta work tomorrow.
Meredith: We agreed, no sleepovers. Broken-up people don't sleep over. Sex only, it's the only part of the relationship that works.
Derek: Oh, I know. And why screw it up with everything else, right? Dinner, conversations, sleepovers.
Meredith: You're mocking my severe emotional limitations.
Derek: You know, I can live without conversations, I can live between meals, and sleepovers... we shouldn't have sleepovers because you snore. (they laugh) Mockery, mockery, that's the deal breaker.
Meredith: Okay, sex and mockery it is. (they start kissing)


(Cristina is giving away all of her appliances that she got as wedding gifts)
Nurse Tyler: It is beautiful.
Izzie: I know. It’s the Belgian Round, Flip Pro.
Nurse Tyler: What do you want for it?
Cristina: What do you got?
Nurse Tyler: The next time that I get a projectile vomiter, I can loose your pager number.
Cristina: Oh, you can do better than that. Surgeries, baby. Preferably cardio.
Meredith: Are these all wedding gifts?
Izzie: Yes, she’s giving them away. I have dibs on the mix-master.
Cristina: I’m not giving you the mix-master.
Meredith: I think the tradition is that you’re supposed to return them.
Cristina: Burke registered for this crap and now I’m the one who’s stuck dealing with it. So, I’m using it for professional game.
Mark (indicating the espresso maker): Are you sure you're ready to part with this?
Izzie: She’s not. I want it. I want it.
Cristina: I am if I can help with the ram boy flap on your next most defect repair.
Mark: Come to Daddy. (takes the espresso maker and walks away)
Alex: You steal all of this stuff?
Izzie: Make her give me something.
Alex (to Cristina): Give her something.
Izzie: Give me the mix-master.
Cristina: Face it. You have nothing that I want.
Bailey: Would you look at the residents, big snazzy residents, standing around playing with housewares.
Cristina: Turn a blind eye and the soup tureen's yours.

Nurse Tyler: I want the waffle maker.
Cristina: Didn’t we already cover this?
Nurse Tyler: Yeah, but now I got something that you want.
Cristina: Oh, yeah, what? (Cristina sees Burke’s mom and ducks behind the counter)
Jane Burke: Hello, I’m Jane Burke.
Nurse Tyler: Dr. Burke’s mother, how nice to see you.
Jane Burke: I’m looking for Dr. Cristina Yang.
Nurse Tyler: Yang, Yang, lemme see…. Dr. Yang… (Cristina hits his leg from under the counter) I’ll page her, but I think that she’s in surgery.
Jane Burke: I’ll wait. (walks away)
Nurse Tyler: Waffle maker.
Cristina: Fine.

Meredith: So, how’d surgery go on the mom?
Cristina: She’ll live, fine, whatever. That’s not the mom that I’m worried about.
Meredith: Oh, I tried. I tried. Mama is not budging, and she is very scary.
Cristina: Yeah, obviously. What does she want? Did Burke send her?
Meredith: I don’t know. I mean, you have to go. You have to go deal with Mama. Just go and get it over with and then when you’re done come back and tell me all about it because I could really use a pick-me-up. (nods over to Lexie)
Cristina: Okay, Mama showdown is not for your enjoyment. Besides my patient is stable and until I’m paged I’m gonna stay right here. (whispers) Okay, she keeps staring at us.
Meredith: I know.
Cristina: Make her stop.
Meredith: You make her stop.
Cristina: You’re her sister.
Meredith: I’m an only child. You’re her resident.
Cristina (to Lexie): If you have time to stare you have time to get me coffee so move, move, move! Two, stay!
Meredith: Now, see if you could just do that with Mama.

Alex: You can yell, you know.
Bailey: Not my job anymore.
Alex: I’m just sayin’, you can if you want. I deserve it.
Bailey: You deserve, Dr. Karev, to be chastised for your stunning poor decision making. You -- you certainly earned a-- a reprimand for your unbelievably destructive tactile error. (pauses) You got in the face of a drug dealer? (slaps his arm) You got in the face of a drug dealer… (slaps his arm) Before the police had arrived. (slaps his arm repeatedly) You got in the face of a known felon while is one year old was still in the room, are you stupid? Are you without intelligence? Because I know that you were taught better than that. I taught you better than that, Dr. Karev. Getting in the face of a drug dealer, fool.
Alex: Thank you.
Bailey (exhales): Oh, no… thank you.

Bailey: Okay, I need you to work in the clinic, Grey.
Meredith: Well--
Bailey: No, before you open your mouth to tell me all the reasons that you can’t, just lemme say this. I need this because I have idiots, do you understand me Grey? Idiot interns are down there in my clinic, a clinic drippin’ with my blood sweat and tears, Grey, and I am not convinced, not at all convinced that they will not burn it down with their inaptitude. No, no, I am not telling because I understand that I do not have the authority to tell. So I’m askin’, nicely. (Meredith doesn’t say anything) Okay, I’m just sayin’ that if I ever did anything for you like… I don’t know... save your life… if you ever felt you owed me a debt of thanks… Now, is when I’d like to collect. (pauses) Please?



Callie: What you ran the code yourself? Where’s Grey?
George: She’s covering in the clinic.
Callie: What the hell is she doing in the clinic? I thought I told you to take interns.
Bailey: I didn’t want interns. (Callie walks away, Bailey glares at George)
George: Sorry about that.
Bailey: Some things, O’Malley, some things just don’t need to be told.


Meredith: Mrs. Burke. What a surprise to see you here. Are you visiting someone?
Jane Burke: You’re the maid of honor, Ms. Grey.
Meredith: That’s me.
Jane Burke: When you stood up in front of Preston’s friends and loved ones, and said ‘It’s over. It’s over. It’s so over.’ Were you trying to smash the hopes of the best man or were you just trying to be funny?
Meredith: I….
Jane Burke: Because making light of that situation would be inappropriate. And to use that moment to send a message to your boyfriend well, that’s… selfish. So were you being inappropriate or were you being selfish?
Meredith: I… am… uh… I apologize for that, Mrs. Mama… ma’am. I’m just gonna go. (Jane is just staring at her) Okay.
Jane Burke: Ms. Grey?
Meredith: Yes, ma’am?
Jane Burke: When you report back to Cristina will you tell her, please, that I am waiting for her and that I will continue to wait for her.
Meredith: Yes, ma’am.


George: Mrs. Burke!
Jane Burke: I don't think I know you...
George: I'm George. O'Malley. I'm a friend of Burke's, I was Burke's guy.
Jane Burke: Oh, hi, George O'Malley, Burke's friend, Burke's guy. Sit.
George: I guess I have a minute. (sits down) You know, he let me sleep on his couch when I had no where else to stay... I mean, how is he? Is he doing okay?
Jane Burke: He's Preston. He's a gentleman, and so he doesn't like to talk about it and I really don't know what to say to him.
George: I don't know. Maybe you can tell him that he dodged a bullet. I mean, marriage is... once you're in, you're in. Burke is smart, you know, he didn't make a mistake. A mistake, which is hard to take back and even if you wanted to take back you can't. So, you can tell him that.
Jane Burke: 'Once you're in, you're in.' Make sure you have that engraved on your wedding ring once you're married.
George: Oh, I'm already married.
Jane Burke: You're already married? George O'Malley, Burke's friend, Burke's guy, staying in a marriage, out of obligation, that's no way to live. That's no way to love... But, I think you already know that.
George: I do. Sometimes I do.


Derek: He’s not returning my phone calls anymore.
Jane Burke: He’s doing his best. Do you think… Do you think that, she really loved him, Cristina?
Derek: I think she loved him the best that she knew how.
Jane Burke: And that wouldn’t have been enough for you either?
Derek: No, that wouldn’t have been the best for me either.
Jane Burke: So, you would have ended it too?
Derek: Well…. Burke and I are built differently, he’s strong than I am. He was strong enough to-- We’re not built the same.
Jane Burke: Honorable men are all built the same.
Derek: And you think that I’m an honorable man?
Jane Burke: Do you know when to walk away? Do you know when not to take less than you deserve, if you do, then you’re an honorable man.


Cristina: Hello.
Jane Burke: It took you long enough.
Cristina: Yes. Well…
Jane Burke: I came to pick up Preston’s key, I’d like to pick up some of his things. And the necklace that I gave you before the wedding…
Cristina: Yeah, yeah. Of course. (takes the key off her key ring) Just, uh, leave it under the mat when you’re done. (she turns to leave)
Jane Burke: And I wanted to say that I’m sorry. I’ve come to know you… I think. And what you love even more than Preston is being a surgeon. You are planning to continue with cardiothorasic surgery like my son, am I correct?
Cristina: Yes.
Jane Burke: So, I’m sorry that you lost the man that you love. But more than that, I’m sorry that you lost your teacher. With him by your side you could’ve become a brillant heart surgeon.
Cristina: I see.
Jane Burke: You’re a strong woman, Cristina. I respect that. I’d wish I could have been born at another time, I might be more like you. So, I shall leave the key under the mat.
Cristina: Uh, could you take the gifts? There are all these wedding gifts and I can’t…Can you please take them away?
Jane Burke: Well, of course I can.
Cristina: He’s never coming back, is he? Not even to say good-bye.
Jane Burke: Remember, you’re a strong woman.


Mark: Wanna grab a drink?
Derek: I have a problem.
Mark: What’s up?
Derek: No... I’m admitting that... I have a problem.


Callie: Chief…
Chief: I’ve got paperwork, Dr. Torres. Kidnapped babies make for a lot of paperwork, I was planning on going to see my wife tonight but instead I get to do this.
Callie: I could help. I mean-- I mean I could help.
Chief: No, you’ve helped enough for one day.


Mark: Callie, are you okay?
Callie: A baby was lost on my watch. I am Chief Resident. I am responsible, and the Chief, he gave this to me and I blew it and…now a baby’s missing. So, no I’m not okay.
Mark: No, you are not okay.
Callie (turns around, teary eyed): Plus, I think that my husband’s having an affair.
Mark: Well, if that’s true, he’s an idiot. And if that’s true you need to talk to him, you know, as an alternative to destroying your career.


Chief: Dr. Torres.
Callie: Yeah, Chief?
Chief: ‘Yeah, Chief’? Is it that you don’t know what going on in my hospital Dr. Torres, or is it that you don’t care?
Callie: Um… I’m sorry. I guess I don’t know.
Chief: I delegated the meth lab situation to you and now one of your resident’s has been attacked and a baby is missing.
Callie: I don’t understand I told Karev to take--
Chief: I don’t wanna hear any of your excuses. Finish up here. You better hope that baby shows up.


George: We decided. I was supposed to tell her. I have to tell her.
Izzie: No, I know, you can’t, you just can’t, okay? I am working with her, she is my boss.
George: Damn it!
Izzie: Ssh! Maybe it’ll just work itself out if we wait. You’ll grow apart.
George: Izzie.
Izzie: She’s been working long hours, maybe she’s having an affair.
George: Izzie. How long do you suggest that I wait until I tell her about us?
Izzie: I don’t know at least when she’s not in such a bad mood… a week…. A month. I’m sorry. (Izzie moves closer)
George: You know… then we can’t.
Izzie: I know.
George: Then you better walk away.
Izzie: I better walk away. Yeah… I really better walk away.


Mr. Rowsh: Do you have any kids?
Mark: Not that I know of.
Mr. Rowsh: Not married, are ‘ya?
Mark: Afraid that I haven’t found anybody who’ll put up with me.
Mr. Rowsh: Well, get on the stick, don’t do like I did. Don’t be a bachelor your whole life. You can only play the field for so long and suddenly one day, your whole life passes you by. Parts aren’t working like they used to.
Mark: They have medicine for that now.
Mr. Rowsh: They don’t have medicine for that all alone part, now do they?
Mark: No, I suppose not.


Intern: Will we be able to do procedures on our own?
Bailey: No, you are interns, you are in charge of nothing. All procedures will be discussed and overseen by an upper level, all charts will be signed out by an upper level and all patients will looked at by someone other than you!


Callie: Oh, you up late last night? Perhaps you should sit this one out.
Izzie: I’m not up late. (Callie walks away) Not up late. Went to bed early. Early and alone.


Bailey: Uh, I need a resident in the clinic to over see the new interns while I work on this patient.
Callie: I’m sorry. I can’t help.
Bailey: You… can’t help?
Callie: I’m sorry, Bailey. But the clinic is optional, I’m not gonna force any residents to go in there when I have this much going on in the pit, but you can have as many interns as you need, okay?


George: I feel-- I feel this exhilaration… it’s like a-- it’s like I finally figured it out. You know? It’s -- It’s like I was spelling, and it’s like a I woke up and it’s just--it’s just amazing. She said that she loved me, and you--- you know my dad… oh god, he loved her and… and you know when he died…. I - I shouldn’t have gotten married. I thought it was right but it wasn't. It's not!
Izzie: It's not. (they are almost kissing when he stands up)
George: I--I've got to tell her! I have to tell her that marriage is over. It's the right thing to do. (he runs out the door, then he comes back) Did you see how I walked out of here so determined?
Izzie: You made me proud! (then he leaves again) He loves me too.


Meredith (voiceover): In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it were just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.


Cristina (her pager beeps): Carnage in the pit. My day is improving! (Cristina walks away and turns to her interns) Follow. (interns run to follow her)
Lexie: We're not gonna round?
Cristina: Carnage trumps rounds, Three. Write that down. Carnage always trumps rounds. (Lexie writes it down)


Chief (looking at the OR board): What do you think of the board?
Derek: It’s good. It looks good, you did a good job.
Chief: I didn’t do it. I’m delegating. I am being a delegater. I’m doing it all different. I’m making time for my wife.
Derek: Oh, yeah, is she talkin’ to you yet?
Chief: Well, she will once she sees that I’m a delegater. I -- I should move that surgery up there.
Derek: Junkie.
Chief: Yeah, yeah you’re right. It’s fine. Delegate. Being a delegater.
Mark (walks up): What’s wrong with the Chief?
Derek: He’s a junkie.
Mark: Him? You’re the one who looks all strung out.
Derek: I’m just tired.
Mark: Let me guess, you and Grey are back together and you've been up all night doing the horizontal salsa.
Derek: Mambo. Horizontal mambo. Meredith and I, we're just friends.
Mark: Sexy friends.
Derek: You're like the worst, most juvenile human being I've ever met in my life.
Mark: You know the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem?
Derek: How many nurses have you slept with this week?
Mark: That's not a problem, man. That’s an adventure!


Richard: What do we have?
Callie: Gas main blew in an apartment building, five injured, some badly.
Cristina: Excellent...(Chief and Callie stare at her) Horrible, horrible! Sad.


Meredith: Hey, what's the 911?
Cristina: Mama is here.
Izzie: I’m working with Callie. Callie. Gotta find George.
Meredith: Your mother?
Cristina: No, no, no, not my mother. Mama. Mama is here.
Izzie: Seen George, Mer? He’s your intern.
Meredith: Oh, Burke's mother.
Cristina: Yeah, make the synapses fire a little more quickly, Meredith.
Meredith: You know, I was just with a patient, I’d be very happy to go back there.
Cristina: No, no, no, you have to help.
Izzie: I’ll help, for the mix-master and George’s current location.


Meredith: Ah, your timing could not have been more perfect where are we going?
Derek: What do you mean where are we going?
Meredith: You paged me, right?
Derek: I did.
Meredith: Good, so… on-call room?
Derek: You know, I was thinking that maybe we could go to the cafeteria, thought you might be hungry. (Meredith gives him a look) Why are you looking at me like that?
Meredith: Derek, we agreed, S and M only.
Derek: S and M?
Meredith: Sex and mockery.
Derek: Sex and mockery, right. (gets up)
Meredith: So, you’re eating lunch?
Derek: I am. Wanna come?
Meredith: No. Meet me in the lobby at 8 o’clock. And eat your dinner first.


Lexie: I am a nice person, okay? I...I am and I don't know what it is that I did to you but you know... We have the same dad, so I was just thinking that a simple conversation...
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? (Lexie nods no) 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. (Meredith leaves)


Lexie: Um, Dr. Grey, (laughs) I was wondering... Do you where the thermometers are? Cause...
Meredith: Do you really not know where the thermometers are, Lexie? Or are you just looking for an excuse to talk to me?
Lexie: I...
Meredith: Simple question, Lexie. Are you an idiot or a stalker? (Lexie stares at Meredith) Okay, that was a mean thing to say. I'm aware of that because I'm generally not a mean person. But I'm a person who just doesn't wanna know you. And you are a person who is making that very difficult. So please, just stop making it so difficult for me to not know you. Okay? (Meredith walks away and moves to another part of the counter)


Izzie: Just because people do horrible things it doesn’t always mean they are horrible people.


Meredith (voiceover): The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don’t kick the bad habit till you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you’re there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts more.


Meredith: So, happy little family makes meth?
Alex: There is no such thing as a happy family. (talking about Cristina, who is pacing) What's with her?
Meredith: Well, Mama Burke is here and we don't know why. My guess is that she's here to kill Cristina. (talking about Lexie) She's hovering again.
Cristina: If you're done with the charts go fold something, like, you know, sheets. (Lexie and the other intern walk away, Alex is staring at Lexie)
Meredith: What're you lookin' at? (hits his shoulder) Don't look at her.
Alex: Your sister, she's hot.
Meredith: I'm an only child. Don't talk to me about Lexie.
Alex (pager beeps): Oh, the police wanna talk to me. (leaves)
Cristina: All I wanna know is why she's here, is that too much to ask?

[nadietta90]

4x03 Let the truth sting


Cristina: She's doing McDreamy. She's doing McDreamy and lying about it.
Izzie: That's great.
Cristina: Does she think I'm weak? That I'm fragile? Like I can't handle it cause of Burke?
Izzie: Poor Cristina, all alone.
Cristina: Yeah, right. Poor Cristina...

Bailey (to Callie): Uh, I've been havin' trouble. With this whole peckin' order of things. I've been havin' trouble. Because I'm used to being number one, but I'm not number one, not anymore. So, the best that I can come up with is to... be number two. The best damn number two that this hospital has ever seen, but your number two. I will... I will... I will help you. We'll be like a team, because, look girl, you just seem to be havin' a hard time. (Callie laughs) And I know I seem to be havin' a hard time... but, together... We could do this. I just think that we could do this together. (Callie smiles)

Lexie: What?
Meredith: I have your mother's death note here. Everything that happened on the day she died is in here, and I know because I wrote it. So, I'd like to go over with you, if that's okay. (pauses) Okay, first of all lemme just say, everything that happened that day, every set back, there was a one percent chance of that happening. One percent... and your mother was that one percent. (starts reviewing the chart) She came in complaining of persistent hiccups. We did an endoscopic-fundipication.
Lexie: You did it endoscopically?
Meredith: So it would be an out patient procedure. We wanted to avoid major surgery. For what it's worth, I was very fond of your mother. She was... I was very fond of her. (keeps reviewing the chart with her)

Cristina: What are we supposed to say? We didn't even know the guy.
Izzie: We ate lunch in here for a year. The least we can do is say a few kind words about him. (everyone is silent, Izzie looks to George)
George: He... didn't snore too loudly.
Meredith: He um... never complained and always took his meds.
Alex: He rarely farted.
Meredith: Alex.
Alex: Fine. He had 12 surgeries this year and he lived through them. That's... that's impressive.
Izzie: Thank you, Alex. Cristina.
Cristina: I got to practice stuff on him. Central lines and IV's, he was good practice.
Izzie: Charlie, the truth is you were a bastard. You were, you were mean and stubborn and just a bastard. But you were a bastard who knew what you wanted and you stuck to your guns and you proved that if you want something badly enough, if you're determined enough and appreciative enough eventually it will happen. It will! That gives me hope, so thanks for that. Bye, bye, Charlie.

Meredith: Hey, so I've been thinking about how you're sad, and what I can do to help.
Cristina: Oh, you have another surgery?
Meredith: No, that's not what you need.
Cristina: It kind of is.
Meredith: What you need is... Me, and my time. So, I thought that we could go back to my house and get into our pajamas, and just sit and talk about this whole Burke thing and really get to the root of your feelings. Just talk all night long if we have to.
Cristina: Talk.
Meredith: Talk. And cry. Cry.
Cristina: Oh, you know.
Meredith: You're damn right I know. Surgery stealer!
Cristina: So... Person who's sleeping with Derek.
Meredith: How'd you know that?
Cristina: What, you think that I'm too fragile to handle your sex life?
Meredith: Well, he did leave you at the altar. And I'm your person.
Cristina: How? By, by... (makes motion with her fingers) Protecting me? That's not how to be my person. That's not what we do. You know that. I'm dealing, okay? The best I can. So, if you need to take care of someone, you're gonna need to take care of someone else, okay?
Meredith: Fine. (pause) You owe me a surgery.
Cristina: Yeah, well, you owe me sex details.

Mark: That woman is going to be able to talk for the rest of her life because of us.
Chief: I think I still got it.
Mark: I think you do too. Now, we just gotta figure out what you're gonna tell Adele.
Chief: I forgot about that.
Mark: First off, don't tell her that you wanna move back in.
Chief: No?
Mark: Reeks of desperation. It's a deal breaker, trust me.
Derek: You know what, I can't take this anymore. You guys have gotta be kidding yourselves, do you know how close your two idiots came to that woman losing her tongue and never speaking again? Oh, yeah, coupla cowboys in there, tellin' yourselves you can do it. Actin' like the big boys. You had no business doing that surgery. No business. Lucky I came in when I did. Shame on you. (to Mark) And shame on you! And, as for Adele, well, tell her you can't imagine your life with out her, tell her for the last month you've been walking around this hospital at night just thinking about her. Tell her the truth. Sorry I called you an idiot.

Alex: Sorry I unloaded on you, Norman. You know how it is, heat of the moment.
Bailey: Uh, don't apologize to him.
Norman: Dr. Bailey's right.
Bailey: Shut up, Norman. I'm not talking to you. He got in your way. He's been doing it all day and when that happens, when an intern gets in the way of a resident, you're not doing what's best for your patient. Now, you almost misdignosing that kid today because Norman here thought it was drugs. So, don't apologize. He should be yelled at.
Alex: Dr. Bailey... He's as old as the hills.
Bailey: I don't care how old he is, Dr. Karev. He's an intern, and interns are basically teenagers. We are not hard on them because it's fun. We're hard on them because this is a life and death job and they need to learn that. There is a reason why we have a pecking order in a hospital, it saves lives.


Bailey: You traded a hemiglossectomy for the pit?
Meredith: It's a long story.
Bailey: A long story that ends with you pawnin' off Lexie Grey on me.
Meredith: I had her to an intubation on a dead guy. It's something that you had us do all the time. I was trying to teach her. So, whatever she told you--
Bailey: She told me that you hate her.
Meredith: I don't--
Bailey: And she told me that you hated her mother.
Meredith: I didn't say--
Bailey: Her mother who came to you with a case of hiccups and died in our hospital. Do you see where I'm goin' with this?
Meredith: She's not my intern.
Bailey: No. She's your sister and you haven't had a kind word to say her since she got here, and you were her mother's doctor. Now, what is she supposed to think? Look, whether you like it or not, your job is to help that girl be a better doctor. So help her!


George: Izzie...
Izzie: What? What is there to say George... I'm blondie. I'm the other woman. I'm a bad 50's cliche.
George: No, no, no. We're not in this together.
Izzie: Wow. Great. Wow. Thank you for letting me know. (goes to leave, he pushes her back)
George: No, no, no. You don't get to be mad here.
Izzie: Seriously? We said...
George: No, there is no 'we'. I'm the one who has to tell Callie. I'm the one who has to destroy her. This is not about you and me. This is about her and me. I'm ending a marriage to a wonderful woman. Me! I'm the one. It's not you. You ... It's not something that you just blurt out. It's not. I'll do it. I will do it but, you have to back off and let me do it.
Izzie: I'm sorry.


Bailey: Uh, you know Yang and Grey are playin' musical chairs with their interns?
Callie: Nope.
Bailey: I mean, I thought that might interest you seeing how one of Yang's interns is actually one of Grey's relatives... and the two Grey's are havin' some kind of family fued. I'm sayin'... that it would probably be best if the residents stuck with their own interns in the future.
Callie: Yeah, I got it. Thanks.
Bailey: You plan on hiding out in here all day long? Or do you plan to emerge at some point to do your job?
Callie: Why would I come out there to do my job when you clearly do it so much better? I'm doing paperwork, Miranda. Because I don't have any more fight in me. I don't wanna fight you, I don't wanna fight my -- I don't -- I don't wanna fight today. So, I'm doing paperwork, okay?


Charlie: When a person wants to die, you let them. It's polite.
Izzie: Not in a hospital, it's not. It's a lawsuit.
Charlie: I don't like you.
Izzie: Really? Because I thought we were BFF's.
Charlie: Okay, just for that I'm dying right now. (closes his eyes and tenses up)
Izzie: That might make you poop your pants, but it's not gonna make you die.
Charlie: Damn it!
Izzie: You really think he's not gonna leave his wife?
Charlie: I think if a person wants to do something, like die, they do it. (Izzie is silent) Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's hope. Maybe he'll tell her and you to will get together and end up happy.
Izzie: You think?
Charlie: Not that I'll be alive to see it.
Izzie: You're not dying, at least not on my watch.
Charlie: Dead man walking.
Izzie: I don't see you doing much walking, Charlie.


Cristina: Hey, I heard about really old guy. What's the matter? You couldn't find his LVAD wire?
Izzie: It was a concidence, and he's still alive.
Cristina: Well, have fun with really old guy. I'm off to do Meredith's hemiglossectomy. (laughs and walks away, Meredith sees this)
Izzie: Hey, hey, has George said anything to you --
Meredith: She's faking. She's faking sadness, pretending to be sad to steal my surgeries.
Izzie: Okay, I have really old guy trying to kill himself and problems of my own, so I don't have time for the two of you and your fake drama. (walks away)


Lexie: Dr. Bailey, Dr. Grey sent me down here to work with you.
Bailey: Oh, she did, did she? And why's that?
Lexie: Truthfully, she didn't wanna work with me anymore. She kicked me out.
Bailey: You can go and tell Dr. Grey that the clinic is not a dumping ground for strays. We are not the island of broken interns. Please, go tell her that. (Bailey moves, Lexie follows her)
Lexie: Please, don't make me do that. I can't work with her... With Meredith Grey. I can't work with her because I can't look at her... She hates me. She hates my dad and she obviously hated my mother and I am ... Please, just let me work down here today. Please, Dr. Bailey.
Bailey: Kid in curtain 3 needs stitches. Go!


Izzie: Pretend I'm not here. Pretend I'm not busting in on you and ... pictures of really disturbing tongues. Really old guy is giving me a hard time. I liked him so much better when he was sleeping, which he's not. You probably already heard. (George nods) But, my point is that he's stubborn. He's stubborn and really old and he's telling me that I'm an idiot for thinking that you're gonna leave Callie. Seriously. We're in this together. You're gonna tell her tonight... right? George?
George: Okay, I have to get this research done.
Izzie: You're not gonna tell her.
George: Wasn't it just yesterday that you said that you didn't want me to tell her?
Izzie: Fine! Forget it! You just look at your stupid pictures of tongues!


Meredith: That wasn't bad for your first intubation.
Lexie: Is that some kind of joke? The guy's dead. He died.
Meredith: He was dead when he came in here. He was dead on the scene. He was dead for fifteen minutes in the ambulance. He was dead before I asked you to intubate.
Lexie (scoffs): You're pretty cavelier, don't you think? They brought him here for help.
Meredith: They brought him here because they're legally required to. And I had you intubate because I am required to teach you and that is how you learn.
Lexie: No, you should've done everything that you could.
Meredith: That was everything that I could.
Lexie: Well, what kinda doctor are you?
Meredith: What is this about?! (pause) If you don't wanna learn from me, that's fine. But I have to cover the pit today, so why don't you go do both of us a favor and go help Bailey in the clinic.
Lexie: Fine.
Meredith: Fine!


Meredith: Hey, I'm fillin' in for Cristina, so how's it going?
Lexie: I pulled a splinter out of a guy's toe and now I'm writing about it.
Meredith: Okay... Well, if you have any questions...
Lexie: Oh, I have a lot of questions, just not about a splinter.
Meredith: Okay.
Lexie: Okay.


Charlie: Blonnnndiieeee! Hey, blondie.
Izzie: Charlie, I have a million charts to update. I'm busy.
Charlie: I want lobster.
Izzie: What?
Charlie: For my last meal. It's traditional. The dying man gets to choose what he wants to eat. I want lobster.
Izzie: I'm not getting you lobster, because you're not dying. I won't allow it.
Charlie: A man can only hang on for so long, blondie. After a while, it's just not worth it.
Izzie (walks over to his bed): Don't you have any friends? Family? Anyone?
Charlie: They're all dead or on their way to dead. Someday you'll understand. When you're old and less naive.
Izzie: I am not naive.
Charlie: You and what's-his-face, that's not naive?
Izzie (laughs, nervously): We're not -- how -- you-- ... You know about what's-his-face?
Charlie: I know that you're crazy if you think that he's leaving his wife. Guys always say that.
Izzie: Well, not that it's any of your business, but this is completely different.
Charlie: I'm sure it's true love. I'm sure he's told his wife, I'm sure he's moved out. I'm sure all your friends know, right? (Izzie is silent) Yeah. I want real lobster. Not that fake white fish crap.


Bailey: I got Karev down in the clinic all day. I hope that's not a problem.
Callie: Nope.
Baliey: I know how you like to be told these things. So, I'm tellin' you.
Callie: Thank you.
Bailey: You know, he tried to dump a new intern on me, Karev... Clearly, he's not interested in teaching.
Callie: Thank you for letting me know.


George: Why? Why, is it better to do a surgey that neither of you have done, than to do a surgery that at least you know gives her a chance at a normal life? Do you know how to do this procedure?
Chief (looks at Mark, who looks back): Are you saying that we´re too old to learn new ways O'Malley?
George: No.
Chief: Are you saying we´re old dogs who can´t learn new tricks?
George: No. I just..
Mark: We´re not old dogs.
Chief: We still got it.


Meredith: Hey, I just heard. Welcome back.
Alex: Is it true? Really old guy woke up?
Izzie: He has a name.
Charlie: This time tomorrow you can call me really dead guy.
Izzie: Guys, I don't think Mr. Yost knows who you are.
Charlie: Sure I do. That's Meredith, she and the brain doctor are always running hot and cold. And you're, uh.. Alex... Do you still have a thing for that old patient of yours? (Izzie smiles) I was semi-comatose, blondie. I could still hear you guys.


Izzie: What can you tell us about really old guy?
Intern: He has a name.
Izzie: I know he has a name, but we call him really old guy, catch up.
Intern: 82 year old, semi-comatose, male. Came in a year ago, status post fall, post op--
Izzie: Which basically means, that he hasn't woken up for a year. So, what's the treatment plan?
Intern: Um... Um...
Izzie: It's really very simple, daily labs and dialosis three times a week.
Charlie: Don't bother with anymore dialosis, I plan to die today. So, it won't be necessary. (Izzie walks over to him, shocked) Nice to meet you. Now, not that I don't think really old guy is charming in a neglected patient, sorta way, my name is Charlie. Charlie Yost.


Bailey: What're you doing in my clinic, Karev? I thought you don't work in the clinic anymore.
Alex: Oh, I don't. But, I thought I could get my new intern, Norman, settled in with you. (to Norman) Bailey's the best. You'll really learn from her.
Norman: Oh, pleased to meet 'ya.
Bailey: You wanna leave Norman with me while you troll for surgeries.
Alex (whispers): The dude's got a bum knee and smells like arthritis cream... Come on, you do me a favor, I'll do you a favor.
Bailey: I'm callin' in my favor now. Curtain five. You can take your intern and show him how to do an HMP.
Norman: Nice to meet 'ya.


Meredith (laughs): Do I have sex hair?
Derek: If I did my job right.
Meredith: You go ahead, I'll wait a minute.
Derek: This isn't just break-up sex, this is secret break-up sex. Is this about Cristina, this morning in the elevator?
Meredith: Oh, no. I mean, I don't know what to do, we don't talk about it... the whole Burke thing. I mean, I wanna be a good friend, I wanna take care of her. But... you know, Cristina.
Derek: Okay, so by being with me you're cheating on Cristina.
Meredith: Just... if she knew about you and me...
Derek: You'd have to talk about, you'd have to talk about you and me. And that'd be a long conversation and there would be no time left for her to talk about her.
Meredith: I told you we don't talk about it.


Cristina: She's doing McDreamy! She's doing McDreamy and lying about it. Does she think I'm weak, that I'm fragile?! Did she think I can't handle it because of Burke?
Izzie: Poor Cristina, all alone.


Meredith: Hey.
Cristina (pretending to be sad): Hey.
Meredith: You okay?
Cristina: I don't know. I think it's all just hiding me. Stupid Burke dumping me and then stupid Mama coming to reclaim her magic necklace.
Meredith: You wanna to talk about it?
Cristina: No, not really, not yet.
Meredith: Okay, well if there's anything I can do.
Cristina: I just wish I could do surgery, surgery would make me feel better... (Meredith looks critical, Cristina turns to her interns) 1, 2, 3, 4, follow me!


Mark: You ever feel old?
Derek: I'm young. I'm a fetus.
Mark: No, I mean, you ever feel like there's gonna be a time where tecniques will pass you by?
Derek: I'm a genius and a scholor.
Mark: Shut up.
Derek: Meredith isn't telling Cristina about us. She tells Cristina everything.
Mark: I thought you broke that off.
Derek: I meant to.
Mark: You think she's gonna wanna get back together. You think she's gonna grow up, and get all whole, and want a relationship.
Derek: I do not.
Mark (smiles): You're a bad liar.
Derek (smiles): You're old.
Mark: I'm just getting started my friend.


Meredith: Hey, you feelin' any better?
Cristina: I heard you were on that hemiglossectomy.
Meredith: Yeah, the surgery, yeah.
Cristina: Here I am, I´m stuck in the pit with these know-nothing interns. You'd think eventually I could catch a break.
Meredith: Cristina, are we ever gonna talk about this? The Burke thing?
Cristina: I´m not Izzie. I´m not gonna lay at the bathroom floor all day. I´m gonna lay here... on the counter.
Meredith: I'll trade you the hemiglossectomy.
Cristina: What?
Meredith: You take the hemiglossectomy and I will take the ER and your interns.
Cristina: Are you sure?
Meredith: Take the surgery, if it makes you feel better. You're startin' to freak me out. (walks away)
Alex: I saw the whole thing, Yang. You can stop pretending.
Cristina: Oh, I´m not pretending. I´m sad. I´m very sad. (makes a childish voice) Me so sad.
Alex: Maybe I should try it, see if I can get Grey to take my new intern.
Cristina: Hey, forget it. Sad is mine. Go find your own pretend emotion.


Callie: Just say it.
George: I slept with Izzie.


Meredith (voiceover): Doctors give patients a number of things. We give them medicine, we give them advice and, most of the time, we give them our undivided attention. But, by far, the hardest thing you can give a patient is the truth. The truth is hard. The truth is awkward and very often the truth hurts. I mean, people think they want the truth. But do they really?


Meredith (voiceover): The truth is painful. Deep down, nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because we owe them at least that much.


Izzie: Okay, what happened? (George motions to really old guy) George! It's really old guy! We could bring a marching band in here and he wouldn't know the difference! So, what happened with Callie?
George: What happened? ... Uh...
Izzie: I thought you were gonna tell her last night.
George: I tried. She would not let me. She... would not let me. I wanted to kill her but then I couldn't kill her because she... helped me through a lot of stuff. And... it was a lot of stuff... and you know, she did help me through it. But then I wanted to kill her again because, who marries someone who just buried their father? And then I went to bed.

4.04 The heart of the matter

Lexie: I just wanted to say thank you for saving my ass in surgery today.
Cristina: That's my job, 3.

Adele: I already lost one baby, now I have to lose Camille too.
Chief: I am not going to use to Camille to try and make up for the fact that I never gave you children.
Adele: I didn't ask you to. I asked you to talk to her, to convince her--
Chief: I can't do that. ... I can't do that Adele. I can give her all the options in the world, but I cannot make her do what I want her to do. I'm her doctor.
Adele: I thought being a doctor was about saving lives. After all these years, of choosing your job over your family... The one time that I ask you to do your job to save this family.
Chief: Adele, I'm sorry. I'm truly, truly sorry.
Adele: So, am I, Richard. (walks away)

Mark: I'm writing you both up.
Meredith: It wasn't Norman's fault, He's my responsibility, I'm the resident, I'm the only one that you should write up.
Mark: That's very noble of you, Dr. Grey. Stupid, but noble. (walks away)
Norman: For the record, Dr. Grey, I don't find you stupid at all. I find you quite smart. (Meredith smiles)

Izzie: What? Am I invisible now?
Alex: What do you want?
Izzie: Oh, so you hate me now too? Join the club.
Alex: You and O'Malley. O'Malley!
Izzie: What? What is it that I did that is so horrifying? (pauses) I fell in love, Alex.
Alex: He's married.
Izzie: Yeah, so? You're carrying a big ol' torch for Ava. Or Jane Doe. Or whatever it is that you call her and she's married. What gives you the right to judge what I do? Why do you even care?
Alex: You told me that you weren't ready yet, after Denny, to be with anyone. And then O'Malley... O'Malley! ... And then you tell me like I'm one of your chick friends, come on! (walks away)

Izzie: I'm just saying, I learned how to fight in a trailer park. Where'd she learn how to fight? A boarding school? Not quite the same thing. (Callie enters the cafeteria, Izzie is unaware, Callie walks towards her. Everyone is staring) I'm a street fighter, I got some bad ass in me. I can take a girl down.
Callie: Izzie.
Alex: Punch with your left, protect your face with your right.
Cristina (eating popcorn): No, protect your hands. Your surgeon hands. Your face can heal.
Callie (clears her throat): Stevens.
Izzie (putting her hair up, and taking out her earrings): Let's do this. Let's go. Let's go. (cracks her neck)
Callie: Go... where?
Izzie (puts her fists up): You know... Go.
Callie: I wanted to talk.
Izzie: You wanted to talk? (puts her arms down) You didn't wanna kick my ass?
Callie: You thought I was gonna fight you? (scoffs, then realizes everyone is watching and walks out of the cafeteria)
Intern: That's a forfeit, Torres forfeits!
Izzie (sits back down at the table): Oh my god.
Cristina: You were very ghettofabulous.
Izzie: Oh, my god.
George (runs in): What happened, was there a fight?
Alex: No. I guess they realized that they were fighting over nothing.

Winnie: So, who's your money on O'Malley? I guess you gotta back the wife, huh?
George: What? What're you talkin' about?
Winnie: The fight downstairs. Torres vs Stevens. What're they fightin' about anyway?
George: Oh, Winnie, that's just a rumor. It's not happening. Callie's too mature for that.
Winnie: That's not what my buddy in the cafeteria says. (George runs away towards the cafeteria)



Cristina: I'm not a bad resident, am I?
Meredith: Don't ask me. I lost a patient today.
Cristina: Oh, you killed someone?
Meredith: Lost. Literally can't find.
Cristina: Oh. Shepherd says I'm selfish and competitive. What the hell is wrong with that? I kick ass. I'm an excellent resident.
Meredith: I'm not. In addition to losing my patient, I also lost my intern. Turned around and he was gone. AWOL.
Cristina: See? What is wrong with these interns? We weren't like this.
Meredith: We were great interns.
Cristina: I was great. You were... you were good. (Meredith gives her a look)
Izzie (sits down, a bit panicked): You guys seen Callie?
Cristina: No. Oh, is it time for her to grind your bones into dust?
Izzie: Oh, you don't think I can take her?
Meredith: Are you guys really doing this?
Izzie: You heard?
Meredith: The whole hospital heard.
Izzie: Well, that explains the line at the salad bar.
Meredith: What are you fighting about?
Alex (sits down): Believe me, you don't wanna know.
Izzie: Alex.
Alex: I'm just saying whatever it is, it's not worth it.
Izzie: Actually, it is. Somethings are worth fighting for. (edit)
Derek: You are a resident now, your job is to teach interns, not be--
Cristina: I wasn't. She --
Derek: Until, you learn to be less competitive and less selfish you will not assist on my surgeries. You will only observe them.
Cristina: But she--
Derek: You can go now.


Meredith: I just had to tell a 48 year old woman that's she's gonna die.
Cristina (referring to Lexie who's laughing with Derek): I wish I could tell a 24 year old woman that she's gonna die.
Meredith: I have gone out of my way to be nice to her and this is what she does, talks about me behind my back.
Cristina: When were you nice to her?
Meredith: I was nice... once. My point is...
Lexie (walks up): Hey, Meredith, hey Norman.
Norman: 'Sup, Lexie?
Meredith: Come on, Norman. (they walk away)
Lexie: Um... Dr. Shepherd asked that we meet in Adam's room in ten minutes. (Cristina ia silent) You can at least aknowledge that you heard me.
Cristina: You're using the Grey- Sister Triangle to get in good with the attendings. I got that. But you're on my license, so if you do anything, like kill someone, it's on me. So, for the rest of the day, you're gonna hug the wall, you're not gonna say anything, you're not gonna do anything, are we clear... 3?
Lexie: It's Lexie.
Cristina: What?
Lexie: It's Lexie or Grey. It's not three. I have a name.

Izzie: Well, what're you doing at lunch?
Alex: Well, according to my interns, I'm gonna be watching Torres kick your ass up and down the cafeteria.
Izzie: How do they know?
Alex: So it's true. What'd you do to her?
Izzie: Nothing.


Cristina: Hey, are you aware that McDreamy and the other Grey are bonding?
Meredith: Bonding?
Cristina: Over their mutal Meredith Grey-ness.
Meredith: What do you mean? They're talking about me? What are they saying?
Cristina: Oh, I don't know. He's making me deal with his patients, while they focus on what's really important. You.


Meredith: So, when giving the patient the bad news, you want to be polite and detatched but not cold.
Norman: How can you be detatched but not cold?
Meredith: You show that you care without actually allowing youself to care, because if you get too emtional, then they get scared. And then they get emotional. And that's bad.
Norman: Seriously?
Meredith: Stop with the seriously.


Meredith: Dr. Sloan, Dr. Norman Shales.
Mark: Ah, nice to meet you Dr. Shales. You can call me Mark. (to Meredith) I thought you were on my service?
Meredith: I am. He's my intern.
Norman: I know, it's like seriously you're an intern? But it's seriously true. Seriously.
Mark (hands him charts): Glad to have you aboard, Norman. (walks away)
Norman: So is he the one you call McDreamy, or McSleezy, or Mc... Wait, what was the other one?
Meredith: We have labs to deliever, labs and discharges.
Norman: Uh, this one's being discharged to HOSPIS?
Meredith; Well, there's nothing else that we can do.
Norman: So we have to tell someone their dying?
Meredith: Don't worry, I'll teach you the protocol.
Norman: McSteamy! He's the one you girls call McSteamy!


Derek: So, how's it going, you and Meredith?
Lexie: It's weird, the whole family thing. And plus, I think she still might hate me. (Cristina rolls her eyes)
Derek: She doesn't hate you.
Lexie: Really? Did she say--
Cristina: You know, why don't you go see if Mrs. Colie's dressing needs changing.
Derek (to Cristina): Yeah, why don't you go see if Mrs. Colie's dressing needs changing.


Cristina: Focus more on the medicine, 3, and less on the tragedy.
Derek: 3, is that a nickname?
Lexie: You could say that. (Cristina glares at her)


George: I'm sorry, I just gotta find Izzie.
Chief: She's at the third floor nurses' station.
George: Thanks.
Chief: Oh, and when you find her can you tell her Dr. Torres is lookin' for her.


George: Have you seen Dr. Stevens?
Lexie: No, have you seen Dr. Yang? She told me to meet her in the pit and she's not here. I don't wanna give that woman any more reasons to hate me.
George (distracted): Good for you.
Lexie: I'm prepared, I'm gonna answer every question correctly, I'm not gonna take any more of her crap.
Cristina: 3! Incoming, let's move!


Meredith: Will you work for me on Saturday?
Alex: What's in it for me?
Meredith: What do you want?
Alex: Take Norman off my hands today.
Meredith: Who?
Alex: The world's oldest intern. I got my interns in the pit today and he's only gonna slow me down.
Meredith: Age-ist.
Alex: Deal?
Meredith: Fine.


George: Callie. You can't just forgive me. What I did to you, it's unforgivable.
Callie (without turning to face him): That's how it works. That's what I forgive you means.
George: No, see, I think it means you don't forgive me. And you don't know how to talk to me right now, and I mean... Look! You don't... you can't even look at me. You're so angry that I think the only way you can deal with me is to say you forgive me and what... we pretend it didn't happen? It happened, and you don't forgive me.
Callie: You're right, I don't.


Izzie: Callie... (Callie stops walking, but doesn't turn around) Callie wait, please, wait. I'm sorry about the cafeteria. I didn't think you wanted to talk to me. I thought you wanted to kill me. (Callie now turns to face her) I'm sorry about everything... with George, I... I'm really sorry. I feel terrible.
Callie (walks past Izzie, but stops and turns around): You feel terrible? You took advantage, he was your best friend. I tried to trust you. So much that I convinced myself that it was all in my head, that I was crazy. But I wasn't, was I? And then you pulled that thing in the cafeteria today. It's not bad enough that you humiliate me by getting in bed with my husband, you have to humiliate me at work too. George may be the one who broke his vows but you... we're women, Izzie. You did this to another woman. You took something from me. You stole something from me like a petty little thief. You are the one who should be humiliated. You are the one who should be ashamed. You are the one... don't you dare come to me for forgiveness you traitorous bitch.


Callie: I thought you quit smoking. Wasn't that the deal? Ruthie loses 40 pounds and you quit smoking?
Will: My girlfriend's in emergency surgery, I think she'll forgive me for smoking.
Callie: No, no she won't, because she's dead. Ruthie's dead. Dr. Bailey tried to stop the bleeding but because shes been starving herself and over training, her heart couldn't take the strain!
Will: You think this is my fault? She wanted to lose the weight. I just wanted her to be healthy.
Callie: She was healthy 20 pounds ago. You just wanted her to be hot, especially if you were gonna move in with her right?
Will: Look... I loved her.
Callie: You didn't love her! You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was good for your ego. Or, or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her, because you don't destroy the person that you love!
Will: Get her away from me!
Callie: You gonna hit me? You gonna hit me?! Give me some excuse to kick somebody's ass!
Bailey: Dr. Torres! Sir, we are so sorry for your loss. O'Malley why don't you take...
George: Sir, why don't you come with me? Come on. (they walk away)
Bailey: Okay I'm gonna ask you one last time. Are you alright?
Callie: I'm fine. It's nothing.
Bailey: Really? Because nothing almost cost you your career just now.


Derek: Hey, what do you think is a better weekend getaway? Napa or Sonoma?
Mark: I hope you don't mind if I kill your girlfriend.
Derek: Well, first of all, she's not my girlfriend. And second of all, I do mind.
Mark: Interns should be seen and not heard. They shouldn't talk to patients.
Derek: Well, that's how they learn.
Mark: Which means that I have to teach and deal with their problems when they screw up.
Derek: Meredith rarely screws up. She's not an intern. So, Napa, Sonoma, what do you think?
Mark: Sonoma. Smaller hotels. Fewer tourists. And Meredith, she's still an intern don't kid yourself. She's green, she's a baby, and the only difference between her and the old guy she's got trailing her is that you're not sleeping with the old guy.


Alex: So, what's it gonna be? Stevens gets her bones broken? Or Callie gets taken to the trailer park?
Izzie: Neither. It's not happening... but, if it does, will you pull her off of me?
Alex: You gonna tell me what you did to her?
Izzie: You have to promise not to say anything to anybody. Swear.
Alex: I swear. Geez.
Izzie: I slept with George. I know, I know, I'm a terrible person, which is why I'm gonna let her get one punch in... or two because I deserve it ... No, one and then you pull her off me.
Alex: You slept with O'Malley.
Izzie: Alex, you said you weren't gonna say anything.
Alex: I won't, believe me. I'm embarrassed for you.


Izzie: She forgave you?
George: She said that I had a rough year, and that people make mistakes. And ... that I made a mistake.
Izzie: Oh, so now I'm a mistake? (George clears his throat and motions to her interns) Back off!
George: No, she said that. I didn't say that.
Izzie: What did you say?
George: Um... I didn't expect her to forgive me. I excepted rage, um... bloodshed.
Izzie: No, she's saving all her rage and bloodshed for me. And she's gonna kill me in the cafeteria at lunch.
George: No, she wouldn't.
Izzie: She breaks bones for a living George, she's crazy!
George: No, she's not crazy.
Izzie: Well, she is if she thinks I'm not gonna put up a fight.


Cristina: Oh... great... I'm stuck in the pit taking smack heads and gang bangers with my idiot interns and you're getting McDreamy'd in the elevator.
Meredith: Really, smack heads and gang bangers at Seattle Grace, huh?
Cristina: My point is, I hate interns.
Meredith: Well, Lexie's not that bad is she?
Cristina: Oh, are we not hating her anymore?
Meredith: Oh no, we still hate the idea of her. We just realize we don't have reason to hate the actual person.
Cristina: She's an intern. That's reason enough.
Meredith: Oh, I think you may be the new Nazi.
Cristina: Damn right.


Derek: You wanna go away with me this weekend?
Meredth: Why would I wanna go away with you?
Derek: Because of this. (kisses her hard)
Meredith: We didn't go away when we were a couple and now we're not a couple. Not-couples have no reason to go away together.
Derek: Meredith, you're not paying attention. I'm talking about 48 uninterrupted hours of this. (kisses her again)
Meredith: Well, where are we gonna go?
Derek: Wine country.
Meredith: Wine country sounds like a couple's place.
Derek: Well, there's wine, there's country, but we wouldn't see any of it. (kisses her again) We'd be in bed all weekend.
Meredith: Ah, a weekend of sex.
Derek (smiles): See, now you're payin' attention.
Meredith (smiles): Well, I would have to get someone to cover for me.
Derek: Okay, so you're in?
Meredith: 48 uninterrupted hours of this. I'm in.


George: Callie... you haven't said anything and... just say something... please, anything.
Callie: I forgive you.
George: What?
Callie: You made a mistake, but we took vows, 'til death do we part so...I forgive you.


Richard: Camille, what took you so long to come here?
Camille: I knew the cancer wasn't gone. It was never gone, it's never gonna be gone. And... don't tell my mom, but the truth is... I was hoping that it would kill me before I ever had to come back here. I'm just so tired, Uncle Richard. I am so, so tired.
Richard: What I have here is a plan to keep you alive. It involves, 12 oncologists, 8 new drugs, 6 experimental procedures, from 3 different continents. I have no idea if it'll work, but as your Uncle, I'm begging you to take it. Because I know for a fact that the world... my world is a better place with you in it. However, as your doctor, I promise to do whatever you want.
Camille: I just wanna go home.
Richard: Then let's get you home.


Meredith: Hey, I got Alex to cover for me. So, I just have to round on my patients and then I can leave. 48 uninterrupted hours.
Derek: Yeah. Yeah. Um... maybe this isn't a good idea.
Meredith: What'd Lexie say about me?
Derek: She didn't say anything. I did all the talking. Oh, don't blame her.
Meredith: So, what? You're friends with my sister now? I mean, you talk to the other Grey, about me.
Derek: You know what I talked about with the other Grey? All the things this Grey won't let me say.
Meredith: You can say anything to me.
Derek (pause): I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I'm 110 years old in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime. (Meredith steps back intimidated)
Meredith: Mm-hmm...
Derek: Do you see what happens? I say things like that, and you fight the urge to run in the opposite direction. It's okay. I understand. I didn't, but now I do. I do... You're just getting started, and I've been doing this for a long time. Deep down, you're still an intern. And you're not ready.
Meredith: I'm not ready right now. But things could stay the way they are, and I can get ready. I'll get ready.
Derek: Things can stay the way they are. We can still meet in the elevator or the on call room. And maybe you'll be ready. And I'll wait. I'll wait until you're ready.
Meredith: Okay, then.
Derek: Yeah, but what if...What if while I'm waiting I meet someone who is ready to give me what I want from you?
Meredith: What if you do?
Derek: I don't know.


Izzie: Callie!
Callie: Hey.
Izzie: Hi.
Callie: We have to talk.
Izzie: Okay. Hmm, about?
Callie: George told me.
Izzie: He told you?
Callie: Everything. Cafeteria, noon, you and me. Be there. (walks away)
Intern (to other intern): Dude, is she gonna kick her ass?


George: Why did she do this to herself?
Bailey: People are stupid and just want to be loved. That's the only reason anyone does anything.


Izzie (to her interns): Now I know charting doesn't seem as exciting as surgery, but it is as important. Believe me when I tell you, penmanship saves lives! Is that a 7, or is that a 9? If I have to ask myself that in the middle of an emergency, your patient is dead. You killed him. With your handwriting. Think about that!


Meredith (voiceover): Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled… old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.


Meredith (voiceover): In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, you are going to make mistakes. You’re going to hurt people. You’re going to get hurt. And if you ever want to recover… there’s really only one thing you can say.

[nadietta90]

4.05 Haunt you every day

Meredith: Oh!
Derek: What is that?
Meredith: It's charts.
Derek: Meredith.
Meredith: It's my mom.
Derek: What?
Meredith: I had her in the cubby, and she was freaking people out. So I was just gonna go put her in the car. Do you think that's disrespectful, to leave her in the car?
Derek: It's a little...
Meredith: It's not that strange.
Derek: Oh.
Meredith: I'm trying to figure out how to put her to rest. I can't shove her in the back of my closet anymore. I have to deal with her.
Derek: Well...
Meredith: And this is me trying to evolve. I'm trying here. So...cubby or car?
Derek: You're asking me if I think you should put your mom's ashes in your cubby or your car? Okay, and you don't think that's very, very strange?

James: Are you the doctor?
Bailey: Oh, I am.
James: Good. That's...that's good.
Bailey: Is your leg hurting you?
James: It's...it's not the leg. It's the foot. And...and it's not hurting so much as... as it's not mine. Something happened. I...I can't explain it. But this...this foot does not belong to me. It...it's...it...it...it feels like it's a corpse foot.
Bailey: Oh, did you lose feeling in the foot? Is it numb?
James: No, it's...it's not numb. It's just...it's not mine. Please, I'm...I'm not crazy. I...I work at a bank. I'm not crazy. Please. I just...I...I need a surgeon. I need you to get me a surgeon who will remove it.
Bailey: A surgeon who will remove your foot? A surgeon who will amputate your seemingly healthy foot.

(Meredith is holding her mother's ashes while she washes them down the drain in a scrub room)
Chief: Grey.
Meredith: Chief.
Chief: What are you doing, Grey? This is a sterile environment.
Meredith: It's my mother, sir. I think this is where she would want to be. (Chief takes a handful of ashes, as does Meredith)
Chief: Should we say a prayer?
Meredith: She didn't believe in anything. (turns on the water)
Chief: Ashes to ashes... dust to dust.

Cristina (showing the apartment to Callie, it's a complete mess): Oh, so it has a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. Sofa. You can sleep here.
Callie: Great. So... Do you mind if I clean up a little?
Cristina: Yes. I mind a lot.

Derek: You okay?
Chief: I don't know if I can handle another night in that hotel. (Derek sighs and sits down) What's the matter with you?
Derek: I have to start dating.

Alex: Sorry I didn't listen when you said you were feeling sick. Sorry I didn't answer your page.
Norman: You know why I chose surgery?
Alex: No.
Norman: I'm a little south of 60. And blood makes me squimish. And I wanted to go into psych because I like to talk.
Alex: I have noticed that.
Norman: I had this voice in my head that told me to choose surgery. It was as if... My MaryBeth whispered in my ear, and so I listen. And do you know what I think now?
Alex: No.
Norman: I think I was about to have a massive stroke and my MaryBeth wanted me to be surrounded by world class surgeons when it happened.
Alex: Mmm. So what are you gonna do now?
Norman: Ah, well, I'm gonna go into psych. Because you people, you surgeons, you're all just a bunch of little children running around with your scalpels and your severed feet, and your inappropiate sex in inappropiate places. You all need a good shrink.

Mark: You know, I'm impressed. I didn't think you'd pull this off.
Meredith: I'm actually pretty suprised myself. Considering this is my first time trick or treating.
Mark: Your first time?
Meredith: Yeah. My mom never made it home in time to take me. Never got it together to make me a constume. Plus, she said it was rude to knock on people's doors and beg for food.
Mark: Huh.
Meredith: What?
Mark: It's just... The apple fell pretty far from the tree, huh?

Rebecca: We need to talk.
Alex: We will. I'll come back.
Rebecca: Don't chicken out.

Callie: Well, I had the world's shortest marriage. (cracks up)
Cristina: I was left in a church, while I was literally wearing a wedding dress. (they both start laughing)
Callie: George cheated on me, right in front of me. And I missed it. (they start laughing again)
Cristina: Burke sent his mother to say goodbye to me. (they keep laughing)
Callie: I'm gonna be a divorcee.
Cristina: Now, Erica Hahn thinks I'm a fraud. (they continue laughing)


Meredith (to Ryan): Okay, so we have one plastic surgeon, a general surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and three scrub nurses, and an O.R. Let's call your mom, kid. You're gonna get some ears.


Izzie: It's not my fault that Hahn chose me.
Cristina: Whatever.
Izzie: I cannot believe that you are judging me. Not after what Hahn said to you, you are judging me.
Cristina: It's not the same thing.
Izzie: It is the same thing. It's exactly the same thing. I'm sorry that I hurt Callie. I didn't mean to hurt her.
Cristina: You slept with her husband. I slept with my boyfriend. It's not the same thing.
Izzie: Meredith slept with another woman's husband. (Cristina turns to walk away) Meredith slept with another woman's husband! (Cristina turns back to her) The two of you are like this close, little circle. And the two of you can commit whatever crime you want, and in your little circle it's all fine. I... I know you didn't sleep with Burke to get ahead. And if Hahn would've asked me, I would've defended you. I'm not even asking you to defend me. I'm asking you to just cut me an inch of slack. And believe me when I say that I'm sorry that I hurt Callie.
Cristina (pause): We are not a close circle.
Izzie: You are. (walks away)


Cristina: I bust my ass here. Burke skips town with my cardio reputation. And now instead of a heart trasplant, well, I get to participate in the amputation of a crazy man's foot.
Guy: I'm not --
Cristina: Crazy. Cutting off your foot is crazy.
Guy: Walking through your life like you have no power, no say, no say in your own destiny, like you have no control over your own body, walking through life like that is crazy.
Norman: Hmm. I still think it's cutting off your foot with a chainsaw that's crazy.


Cristina: What is Hahn doing here?
Izzie: Heart transplant. (Cristina starts walking up to Dr. Hahn and the Chief, Izzie follows) Don't even think about it. She's my patitent!
Cristina: Dr. Hahn, I hear your doing a heart transplant today and I thought that I'd volunteer to scrub in.
Izzie: Dr. Hahn, Isobel Stevens. She's my patient, the donor. So if you need any information, I have it. I have all of it. (to Cristina) She's my patient!
Hahn: You've got some eager Jr. Residents around here.
Chief: Mmm. Lucky me. Take your pick. (walks away)
Hahn: Well, Yang. I apperciate the offer, but I date men. So, I don't think that you'll be able to impress me the way you've impressed your mentors in the past.
Cristina: I- What?
Hahn: Well, you sleep with them right? (Izzie smirks, and tries not to laugh) Preston Burke, Colin Marlow, that's your thing.
Cristina: It's my-- It's -- I... I'm-- I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with anything?
Hahn: My theory is that if you have the chops in the O.R then you wouldn't have to try and impress in the bedroom. (Cristina is speechless) Stevens, is it?
Izzie (fighting back a smile): It is.
Hahn: Let's go Stevens. (they walk away and leave Cristina standing there shocked)


(After they've just had sex)
Alex: How are you? I mean-- How are you doing?
Rebecca: I'm in love with my daughter. She's -- She's perfect. She sucks on her fingers, and she makes like this perfect little cartoon suckling sound. (kisses him)
Alex: And your husband?
Rebecca: My husband's in love with my daughter too. You look tired.
Alex: I haven't been sleeping much.
Rebecca: I haven't been sleeping much either. The baby wakes up all the time. Not as much, now that I've figured out that if I wrap her in whatver shirt I'm wearing...
Alex: And she smells 'ya on it.
Rebecca: And she sleeps. Alex, what are we doing? What are we gonna do? (turns over to see Alex sleeping)


Meredith: Dr. Bailey, we're gonna help rebuild a little boy's ears today, probono. And I thought that maybe you could donate some time.
Bailey: Thanks to the fine upstanding citizen, who decided to cut off his own foot on my watch, I've got a mountain of paperwork. And on top of that I promised that I would get home in time to see my son in his Halloween costume.
Meredith: Is Tuck even old enough to know what Halloween even is?
Bailey: He is not. But is father is and that's who I promised.
Ryan (walks up): Trick or treat.
Bailey: For ears? He's trick or treating for ears.
Meredith (sad tone): Yeah. Could you also persuade some of the surgical nurses to help out? They seem to really like you.
Ryan: Trick or treat.
Bailey: Stop that. (pauses) Alright, I'm in. (edit)
Guy: It was awesome. It was the sickest pumpkin head you ever saw.
Bailey: Mmhmm.
Guy: And then the next thing you know, it's blood gushing and totally stained my pumpkin head. Made it even sicker though. I brought it in, the digit.
Bailey: Oh, you have the finger?
Guy: Yeah, but it's like lodged in the chainsaw.


Lexie: If you two talk, I could wait over there.
Izzie: Why? It's not like we have any secrets anymore. Callie told everyone. Everyone.
George: Yeah. It's gonna be a long day.


Meredith: I have an earless boy.
Chief: I'm sorry?
Meredith: Sloan has agreed to build him ears probono if you agree to donate the O.R and all of the equipment.
Chief: I'm sorry, Grey. (Meredith nods to Ryan to come in) My probono slate is full. There are protocals to be followed. There's all sorts of red tape. It's a lot--
Ryan: Trick or treat.
Meredith: Get it? He's trick or treating for ears.
Chief: Grey...
Meredith: You know, my mother, she was big on probono surgeries.
Chief (stares at them for a moment): O.R two is free at 6 p.m.
Ryan: Thank you.

Rebecca: You didn't come for me. You chickened out. When-- When I was leaving. When I asked you to gimme a reason to stay, you chickened out. Which, which I get. I get that. It was a lot and scary, and I know that I can be kinda intense. But, but, I thought after the chickening out part, that you would come for me. I came back for you. Which basically makes me a begger. I'm a begger for Halloween. (Alex smiles) And now you're mocking me.
Alex: I'm not mocking you. (they start making out)
Rebecca: We-- We need to talk.
Alex: We will. (they resume making out)


Meredith: You found 'em. (Ryan nods)
Mark: You know his parents?
Meredith: His mom works in the cafeteria. What's all this?
Ryan: It's letters from all the kids in my class.
Mark: Letters to me. He has the internal structure to hear. He just doesn't have the canal or the external structure.
Ryan: So I thought if I came in with my letters, Dr. Sloan might feel sorry for me and to the surgery for free.
Mark: Uh, look. I'd like to help, I would if I could but probono surgery--
Ryan: You should probably know that on my way here this morning, three different people thought I was in a costume. My head looks like a permanant Halloween costume. Just thought you should know that.
Meredith: You're good.
Mark: Probono surgery is not just about me giving you my time. Uh, a surgery like this requires O.R time. An anesthesiologist, a general surgeon to remove the cardilidge from your ribs, at least two surgical nurses...
Meredith: Couldn't you ask them for help?
Mark: I could. But, I don't have any social captial. The nurse hate me. They've formed a club that's all about hating me. And the other doctor's don't owe me favors because I've never done anything for them. (turns to Ryan) I'm sorry. I wish I could help. I would if I could.
Meredith: I have social captial. Or I don't. Nobody knows me. But they knew my mother. So, maybe I could make this happen.
Mark: Fine. Make it happen. You manage that, I'm all yours.
Ryan: These people who knew your mother, do they know that you brought her to work in a baggie?


Norman: Dr. Karev, I'm feeling a little under the weather. And instead of risking spreading germs to the patients, I thought that I would head home for the day.
Alex: Do you wanna be a surgeon, or do you wanna go to bed? Because it's one or the other. Surgeons stand up through, 10, 12, 15 hour surgeries without food, without bathroom breaks, without complaints. Surgeons do not go home because we have a tickle in our throat. (pulls back the curtain and sees Rebecca)
Norman: Well, it's not so much a tickle as it is--
Alex: Make yourself busy, Norman. (pulls the curtain shut and looks at her for an answer)
Rebecca: All the moms in my town, they all dress up for Halloween. And I was thinking, what would I be if I had to dress up? Or what would I be if-- And the only thing that I could come with, and the only thing that I wanted to be was ... Ava. (Alex kisses her hard)


(Lexie is dressed up as Raggedy Ann)
George: I like your costume.
Lexie: Well, Dr. Yang said...
George: Dr. Yang is screwing with you. (chuckles)
Lexie: Oh, I knew it! (takes off costume)


Chief: Yang. You're moving out of Burke's place?
Cristina: Yes, sir.
Chief: My wife has filed for divorce.
Cristina: I'm very sorry, sir.
Chief: At any rate, I need a place to live. And Burke's place -- I, I was there once-- I suppose actually it's your place now.
Cristina: No, it's still Burke's place. (hands him the flier she put on the bulletin board) Now, it's yours. (edit)
Sydney: I'm Sydney. Dr. Sydney Heron. General surgery. Big fan of your work. We were seating next to each other once at an M&M. Anyway, now seems as good of time as any to make it offical. Our introduction. (extends her hand, Derek shakes it)
Derek: Ah, Derek Shepherd.
Sydney: It was very, very nice meeting you.
Derek: Nice meeting you too. (walks away, shows Meredith who watched the whole thing)
Meredith: You think she's pretty?
Ryan: Yeah. I like cheerful people.
Meredith: I can be cheerful.
Ryan: I think the "ashes" thing makes that kind of unlikely.


Lexie: I just saw a heart transplant.
Meredith: I just helped build a little boy some ears.
Lexie: That's cool.
Meredith: Yeah, it was.
Lexie: I dug up my mom's cat.
Meredith: What?
Lexie: My mom didn't leave any instructions 'cause it was so... unexpected. So... We had to figure out on our own what she would have wanted. And my mom loved that cat. So... I dug her up... the cat... um, from her little grave in our backyard. And I snuck into the cemetery in the middle of the night and reburied her right beside my mom. And... it was creepy and morbid, carrying around a dead, decaying cat in the cemetery in the middle of the night, but... it made my mom really happy. At least... I like to think it did.
Meredith: Thanks.


Ryan: Dr. Grey?
Meredith: Hi.
Ryan: I had a goldfish, and when he died, we flushed him down the toilet, back to the sea.
Meredith: Okay.
Ryan: Back to the sea is better than your cubby.


(Meredith is putting the ashes of her mother in a Ziploc bag)
Izzie: What is that?
Meredith: My mother.
Alex: Happy freakin' Halloween.


Mark: Good morning.
Olivia: Don’t. Don’t do that. Don’t smile at me.
Other Nurse: Don’t smile at her. Don’t smile at me either.
Olivia: We’re on to you. We’ve compared notes.
Mark: Compared notes? Really?
Olivia: Compared notes. Compared pick-up lines. Compared techniques.
Mark: Techniques...
Olivia and Other Nurse: Identical.
Mark: Identical?
Olivia: We formed a club. "Nurses United Against Mark Sloan".
Mark: Are there any club activities? (they both glare at him, then walk away. Derek walks up) Oh, man you would not believe what just happened to me.


Cristina: I did not sleep my way to the top, okay? I am attracted to a talent that resembles my own. Not that it's any of your business. Your comments were unprofessional and inappropiate. You know what? You're inappropiate and unprofessional.
Hahn (smirks): This is gonna be so much fun.
Chief (walks up): Dr. Yang, did you hear? Dr. Hahn has agreed to become our new head of cardio-thoracic surgery.
Hahn: Lookin' foward to it. (walks away)
Cristina: You can't have my apartment.


Cristina: What are we looking at?
Izzie: Meredith put her Mom in a baggie and brought her to work.
Meredith: I had to get her out of my closet, she was haunting me.
Alex: Now she’s haunting us all.


Callie: Okay, listen up. Today is a holiday which means the pit will be over-run. You got the usual drunken stupidity.
Bailey (excited): And then you got Seattle's Annual Chainsaw Pumpkin Carving Contest. I love this city.
Callie: So, you should stay on your toes. And stay on top of your interns.
Izzie: So, should we round before heading to the pit or...?
Callie: You should direct your questions to Dr. Bailey, Stevens.
Cristina: Oh, we’re directing our questions to Dr. Bailey?
Callie: Oh, no, not you. Just Stevens.
Bailey: Why is Stevens directing her questions to Dr. Bailey?
Callie: Because she’s been sleeping with my husband. (Izzie looks horrified, they all stare at her in shock) Alrighty then, have a good day. (leaves, Izzie looks embarrassed and leaves too)
Cristina (to Meredith): This is even more disturbing than your bag full of Mommy.


(they collide with each other in the hall, and Meredith drops her charts and her baggie with her mom's ashes, spilling them on the floor)
Derek: What is that?
Meredith: It’s charts.
Derek: Meredith...
Meredith: It’s my mom. I had her in the cubby and she was freaking people out. I was just gonna go put her in the car. Do you think that’s disrespectful? To leave her in the car?
Derek: It’s a little...
Meredith: It’s not that strange. I mean, I’m trying to figure out how to put her to rest. I can’t shove her in the back of my closet anymore. I have to deal with her. And this is me trying... to evolve. I’m trying here. So, cubby or car?
Derek: You’re asking me if I think you should put your mom’s ashes in your cubby or your car. You don’t think that’s very very strange?
Ryan: Are those really your mom’s ashes?
Derek: It’s strange, right? It’s strange.
Meredith: Are you lost?
Ryan: No. My mom works in the cafeteria. And she said that I could come up here and look for Dr. Sloan. Do you know him?
Meredith: Can you take care of him?
Derek: Yeah. Can you take care of her? (Meredith picks up her mom's ashes)


Mark: You gotta love Halloween. All the crazies come out to play.
Callie: I get it. I mean, I get that you could wake up one day and your life doesn't feel like your own.
Mark: I heard. About your marriage. And if there’s anything you need me to do, to cheer you up, I’m around. Day or night. Night, in particular.
Callie: I was married. I said 'Until death do us part.' In a church. I mean, it was a church of Elvis. But still, it was a church. I just-- I just can't believe this is my life.


Sydney: Dr. Shepherd.
Derek: Yes?
Sydney: Okay, here's the question. Were there actually shepherd's in your lineage?
Derek: I'm sorry, what?
Sydney: You know, shepherds, the one's that watch over sheep. I'm into gyneology. My name for example not actually the bird--
Derek (notices Mark, who is laughing): You know, I'm sorry. Would you excuse me?
Sydney: Of course.
Derek: Okay. Thanks. (walks over to Mark and chuckles) Hmm. Yeah. You did this?
Mark (chuckles): Payback's a bitch.
Derek: What the hell did you tell her?
Mark: I spread the word that you were lookin'
Derek: You spread the word that I was looking?
Mark: Lookin'... It sounds way dirtier without the "g."
Derek: And you wonder why they've formed a club.
Mark: You heard about that?


Meredith (voiceover): It isn’t just surgeons. The truth is, I don’t know anyone who isn’t haunted by something... or someone. And whether we try to slice the pain away with a scalpel or shove it in the back on the closet, our efforts usually fail. So, the only way we can clean out the cobwebs is to turn a new page… or put an old story to rest. Finally, finally to rest.


Bailey: You alright?
George: You’re Dr. Bailey, you hear everything. And even if you haven’t heard everything I’m sure you heard.
Bailey: About your marriage? Yeah, I probably would've.
George: I'm sorry... If-- If I disappointed you.
Bailey: I'm not your mother, O'Malley.
George: Oh! Oh. Oh, I have to apologize to her now too.
Bailey: O'Malley. (exhales) Look, you're not a bad guy. See, and I don't mean to let you off the hook entirely because what you did, was unkind, and hurtful, and wrong. But you're not a bad guy. I'm just sayin' that it take two to reach the you reached in your marriage. It takes two. I, I mean, I'm here. Late at night, on Halloween an earless boy get ears and my husband wants to act like that ain't an important thing. He wants to act like it isn't a good thing that I did today. Now, that just ain't on me. That's on him, wanting things to be way he wants. It's him wanting things to be purely black and white. I mean, I missed my son's first Halloween and my heart is aching inside of my chest, but you know, that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't count. Because in a black and white world, I simply didn't make it home. And that makes me the bad guy, I'm always-- I'm always the bad guy. You hear what I'm sayin'?
George: Sorry that you missed your son's first Halloween.
Bailey: Look, what I'm sayin' to you is... Okay, I was there. I was there the day your father died. I was there when you came back from Vegas married, after a week. And... All I'm sayin' is, it's not black and white. And you're not a bad guy.

(eating lunch, Meredith's got the bag of her mom's ashes on the table)
Cristina: You could scatter her off the roof.
Meredith: She was afraid of heights.
Cristina: The ashes Meredith. The ashes aren’t acrophobic.
Meredith: I need to put my mother to rest. I need to not become her. I need to not die emotional crippled and alone. And I need to not attend the wedding of Derek Shepherd and Sydney Heron. I need to put my mother to rest.
Cristina: Sydney Heron? (Izzie and George sit down at the table. There is an akward silence. Meredith and Cristina look uncomfortable)
Izzie: Just ask.
Meredith: So, you two are together?
George: Yeah.
Meredith: Like together, together, in love together? Sexy love. Not sibling love.
Izzie: Yes. Yeah. we're together. (Cristina looks pissed)
Meredith: And you two... Have been... I mean with out any of us knowin'... Doing this-- this whole time?
Izzie: Only once.
George: Iz...
Izzie: I said that she could ask questions. Just once. And now, we're waiting to be together out of respect.
George: For Callie's feelings. (Cristina scoffs and leaves the table)
Meredith: She's not judging.
Izzie: Right.
Meredith: I have an earless boy waiting for me. But, I'm happy for you guys.

Meredith (voiceover): There’s a reason surgeons learn to wield scalpels, we like to pretend we are hard cold scientists. We like to pretend we are fearless. But the truth is, we become surgeons because somewhere, deep down, we think we can cut away that which haunts us… weakness, frailty, death… (edit)
George: Mr. Shanley, I don't have kids. So, I don't know what it's like to loose a child, but I do know what it's like to lose a parent. Your daughter loved you. I saw her this morning, she was fighting for you, she was fighting for your life. You're her dad. You're her dad, she doesn't wanna leave you. I konw that. I also know that she would want you to have her heart. (pauses) I would've given my dad my heart if I could. If I could've saved him. I would've given him my heart.

4.06 Kung fu fighting

Izzie: George... (he is about to kiss her but she is trying really hard not to cry and starts sobbing) I'm exhausted. Every bone and every muscle in my body aches. And I don't think that I can do this. It's not that I don't want to, because I do. I really, really do. It's just that I just spent 6 and a half hours on my feet in surgery and I can barely hold myself up. And I'm just so tired. And... And this is like a rare bird, George. George, you know. It's the first time since... Since we were together. And it's a once in a lifetime expiernce, and I-- I don't wanna waste it on a night that I'm too exhausted to enjoy it. Because I wanna enjoy our rare bird, George. I need to enjoy our rare bird. And-- (continues to sob)
George: Me too. And-- and oh, my hand... It's just killin' me from holding the dress. So, maybe tonight is not the perfect night. Maybe the perfect night is another night.
Izzie: Really?
George: Yeah. Yeah. (pauses) Do you wanna maybe go to sleep?
Izzie: Yeah. (they lay down in bed, spooning up against each other) Thanks.
George: Did you only shave one of your legs?
Izzie (starts sobbing again): I know. I'm sorry.
George: No, it's cool. It's alright. Shh.



Lexie: Hey, what are you doing tonight?
Alex: As in...
Lexie: What are you doing... tonight.
Alex: Look, uh, I’m not a nice guy. I don’t date. I don’t call the next day. I’m not looking for a relationship cause I’m never good at ´em. And honestly I’m kinda hung up on somebody else. So...the only thing you’re ever going to get from me is sex... That’s it. And that’s never usually enough for girls like you.


Mark: He doesn't have any secret fetishes does he? He doesn't strike me a fetish kinda guy.
Derek: Hey, Richard. You've gotta tell us what this evening's about. You've been obtuse, it's been fun, but we're gettin' a little freaked out now. What's a gentlemen's evening?
Chief: It's an evening with no ladies. Just gentlemen.
Mark: That's it?
Chief: Well, yeah.
Erica (walks up): Pretty boys living in the woods. This is very charming. Or sad. I'm not sure which.
Mark: What happened to no ladies?
Derek: Yeah...
Chief: Plans change.


Rick: You know, I gotta tell 'ya, I survived a 12,000 foot freefall, and this is my only scar.
Meredith: It goes away.
Rick: The scar?
Meredith: It goes away. The feeling. That feeling that you have right now... today... that feeling like you can do anything. That clarity... It goes away. And you go right back to being the coward who can’t tell the person you love how you feel. I saw your video.
Rick: You -- you saw-- Oh, okay. You're not gonna let Sally see it, you're not gonna let her know what I said--
Meredith: Like I said, it goes away. It's going away right now. You have to tell her how you feel, right now. While you still can.
Rick: She's just so incredible, in everything that she does, she's just... So outta my league, you don't understand.
Meredith: Well, if she doesn't feel the same way, then you move on. But, if you never find out how she feels then that won't be your only scar.


Helena: Guess I lost anyway, huh?
George: No, actually I let go first.
Helena: You did?
George: Well, someone had to catch you.


Callie: Hey, uh, how's your bride? She pull through okay?
George: Yeah.
Callie: Please tell me that you let go first because I absolutley cannot handle my bride winning that way. (George smiles) What?
George: Oh, nothin', I just didn't know if we'd ever be able to talk again.
Callie: I'm letting go. I have to... Let go.


Izzie: Mr. Arnold, look at me. Look at me. Good. Now, I want you to focus on the observation deck, and pretend that it's a treeline or a shoreline, or... something with birds. Those aren't people up there watching you, those are birds, your birds and you're watching them. So, tell me Mr. Arnold, tell me about the birds. Tell me.
Mr. Arnold: I-- I can't, I can't.
Izzie: You can! How about her? The woman to the far left, what kinda bird would she be?
Mr. Arnold: Ah... Okay, she- she has a long neck, so she would be an Ibis. Some kind of Ibis.
Izzie: Okay. Okay, good. Who's next?
Mr. Arnold (talking about Cristina): Uh... That one, doing the little dance with her fingers, she's -- she's the Purple Sandpiper. Uh, those are tough little birds, those are survivors. (talking about Derek now) And um, and him, with the sad eyes, he would be, he's uh... He's a Thrush. He's a Black-Headed Knightengal Thrush. And uh, (talking about the Chief now) the tall one, standing there watching over everything, over everyone. He doesn't miss a thing. (Izzie smiles) He's a... Great Blue Heron. No question.


Jackie: Yeah, but who won?
Alex: Helena collasped. She's, she's in surgery.
Jackie: So, so... I won? She collasped which, which means I won, right? Where's the judge?
Callie: The woman that you stood next to for two days almost died, okay? And you've just woken up from surgery and all that you can think about is if you've won a stupid contest. Don't you get it? You shouldn't have to fight this hard for a wedding. You fight for a marriage. And sometimes that even is a lost cause. Sometimes, you just have to let go. So, just let go already. Just friggin' let go. (walks out)
Jackie: Yeah, but-- but did I win? (Alex walks out)


Bailey: He jumped outta that plane. No one forced him to do it. Fell 12,000 feet. People chasin' death down, then tryin' to cheat it. Doesn't make any kinda sense to me.
Meredith: There’s a clarity thing when you cross over the edge. There’s a moment when everything just melts away and you’re fearless. I get it. I understand wanting to feel like that.


George: Yeah, holdin' on to that dress, that wasn't easy for her. It was humilating, but... someone's trying to break you... It gives you drive, it gives you streagth, holdin' on to that dress... for hours, I mean, days, you know? In public, just refusing to buckle, refusing to bend, that's hardcore. I mean, in some ways that's seriously hardcore.
Chief: Rumor has it that Sloan was busy hazing one of his interns today. ... And I take it that you didn't buckle.
George: No, sir.
Chief: Good man, O'Malley.


George: I don't know how you guys did this for two days.
Helena: Believe me, I would be at city hall tomorrow if that were an option.
George: It is. You could just let go.
Helena: You let go.
George: You let go, and no big deal it's a wedding. I let go and I have to face the wrath of Dr. Sloan.
Helena: My mom manages a grocery store. And ever since I got engaged she's been putting herself in some serious debt. Over hand engraved place cards and chocolate fountains. It's her dream. My wedding is her dream. This is so important for her. This is so important for her, this is what she's been living for since I can remember, since... My dad left. My perfect night. So, I can do this. I can do this for her... because she's done a lot for me.


Meredith: Remember when I was dead? Before I went in that water everything was so ... complicated. Hard. And then you pulled me out of the water ... and I came back to life. For a moment everything was so clear. As if the water had washed everything clean. Do you remember that?
Derek: I do.
Meredith: Me too.


Chief: You had the nerve to tell a patient that you would perform awake open heart surgery before even running it pass me first?
Erica: Did Burke run every surgery past you?
Chief: Look, I know you're new here--
Erica: I just wanna know what the rules are. Every surgery that Burke booked, he ran it up the flagpole first? And what about pretty and prettier? They run every surgery past you?
Chief: What? You talkin' about Shepherd and Sloan?
Erica: I am talking about your male attendings, you now, the one's that you invited to your gentlemen's evening. Guess you don't know a guy until you work for him, I mean who knew that you're running an old boys club.
Chief: Erica that is not it--
Erica: You realize an evening to which the male attendings and women and not, you realize that's like when law firms used to have country club weekends and failed to invite the black associates. (the Chief is silent) Good talk, I gotta prep for my surgery.


Izzie: George, you got a minute?
George: Seriously? (motions to the dress he is holding, and he moves his hands around so his other hand is on it, and turns to face her) Hey.
Izzie: Hey. We're gonna have to push back our perfect evening tonight. Not by much. A few hours, I think.
George: Sure. Okay.
Izzie: Okay. I'm about to scrub in on a awake open heart surgery.
George: A what?
Izzie: Awake. The patient is gonna be wide awake while we operate on his heart.
Helena: That is intense.
Izzie (excited): It is! It is intense. It's-- (sighs) Uh, you know Cristina would be all over this. She would be studying and quizzing herself and all I could think about is the poor guy, he's-- he's really nervous already and... I'm not hardcore. I'm not hardcore enough for this.
George: Yes, you are. What? You're-- you're just not like Cristina. You're hardcore. You're hardcore like... Izzie. (pauses) Did that just sound dirty? 'Cause that's not how I meant it.
Mike: Mean, that man. (Izzie laughs)
George: Go kick ass in the surgery and then we'll have our night and it will be perfect.
Izzie: Oh, I haven't shaven my legs yet.
George: Go. Go be hardcore Izzie. Go.
Izzie: Okay, got it. I'm going. Thank you. (leaves)
Mike: She's hot, man.
Helena: Is she your wife?
George (smiles): I don't know you well enough to have this conversation.


Mark: Dr. Hahn, I heard a crazy rumor about you.
Erica: That I'm performing open heart surgery on a man who's wide awake.
Mark: That's the rumor.
Erica: That's the truth.
Derek: I perform awake brain surgery all the time.
Erica and Mark: Not the same thing.
Mark: You ever hear of a gentlemen's evening?
Erica: I'm sorry?
Derek: The Chief is hosting a gentleman's evening.
Mark: We're pretty sure it doesn't involve porn, but... I wanna be sure.
Derek: Hmm. Right.
Erica: Are you two a couple? (they laugh)
Derek and Mark: No.
Erica: Okay, just checking. (walks off)
Derek: Why-- Why would she ask that?
Mark: I- I don't know. I'm worried about this gentlemen's thing.


Meredith: I drowned. I was sinking. I died. And you know what I realized? I realized how stupid all of my issues are.
Cristina: I'm waiting for how this applies to me.
Meredith: It doesn't.
Cristina: Of course not.
Meredith: When that man fell, and all he wanted was one last chance to tell sally how he felt about her. And I got one last chance. I got my chance. And what have I done with it?
Cristina: You know, being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things.
Meredith: I know.


Izzie: What are you we doing?
Alex: Video from the helmet of a skydiver without a chute.
Izzie: You guys are sick.
Cristina: Oh, come on. It's not like a snuff film, the guy survives. (she plays the video) Ooh.
Izzie: Oh, wow!
Cristina: Oooh, he's going for the chute. Oh! And it doesn't open.
Meredith: And he's flailing.
Alex: Ah, he's going for his second chute.
Cristina: Oh! And it also doesn't open!
Izzie: You'd think there'd be more screaming.
Meredith (cringes): Oh, look how close the ground is getting.
Alex: What, what he's doin' now?
Cristina: Peeing his pants?
Meredith: Is he saying something? Turn it up? (you can hear him on the tv saying he loves someone, and wishes he would have told them. Alex tries not to laugh, Izzie cringes as he's about to hit the ground and does and the video stops)
Alex: Oooh! Oh! (laughs)
Izzie: Wait, who's Sally?
Meredith: The skydiving instructor.
Izzie: Sad.


Cristina (to Meredith and Alex, who are watching George): So, what? He just stands there and holds the dress?
Meredith: I know. I thought it was gonna be more excited too.
Cristina: A monkey could hold a dress.
George: Actually... It's a lot harder than it looks.
Helena: Don't let them get to you. Tune 'em out. All of them. It's the only way to get through it.
Jason: Sweetie, he's your competition, don't help him.
Dress Judge: Do you ever give morphine to people who aren't patients?
Cristina: This kinda blows.
Alex: It's more fun when you heckle.
Meredith: Don't heckle George.
Cristina: Ah, you know, whatever. I got something way better than this. (starts to walk off)
Alex: Something that tops O'Malley playing bride?
Cristina (holds up disc): Skydiver video. (Meredith and Alex get up quickly and follow her)


Jackie: Whoa, hey. No. I gotta get back to my dress, just wrap some bandages around it or something.
Callie: You would rather hold on to a dress, with a dislocated shoulder, then letting repair it for you in surgery right now?
Jackie: I can have surgery anytime. I can only win this wedding once.


Helena: I know you all think that this is stupid, if I were you, I'd think that this is really stupid.
Mark: Well, I've never been married myself, so I'm not one to judge, but George here knows all about what it takes. Don't you, O'Malley?
Helena: You're married? For how long?
George: Not very long.
Helena: Newlyweds? Congratulations.
George: Thanks.


Callie: It's the only solution if neither of you will let go of the dress.
Mark: It's very simple. Dr. Torres needs to treat Jackie's shoulder and legs, so Jackie, you need a proxy.
Jackie: What?
Mike: Think about it, babe. This gives you an advantage. You get to rest your hand and come back refreshed. Gimme the dress, I'll be the proxy.
Jason: No way. This isn't fair. You think this is fair?
Mark: Dr. O'Malley's the proxy.
George: What?
Mark: He'll hold on to the dress. (Callie is trying not to smile)
George: Hold the dress? You just want me to stand here and hold the dress?
Mark: No one ever said that internship was easy. (George snaps off his gloves, and holds out his hand and takes the dress)
Jason: Dude, you're job kinda sucks, huh?
Alex (walks in): Dude, check it out, Bambi's a bridesmaid. (chuckles)
Callie (to Mark, smiling): You're right, this did kinda cheer me up.


Alex: You're charting in a closet.
Lexie: I get a lot of work done in here. It's quiet and nice.
Alex: And a closet.
Lexie: Look, when I am out there, roaming the floors, I am the other Grey that Dr. Yang likes to humiliate and kick around. And in here, I'm not. It's just-- It's just --- It's my place, okay? It's a closet.
Alex: You know, every intern class has a runt of the litter, you keep this up, this year it's gonna be you. Get up.
Lexie: Oh, sorry. You probably need to get in here.
Alex: No, grab a sling from the box and come with me.
Lexie: With you?
Alex: Well, if you rather sit like a loser in a closet doing charts all day, you can. Or you can come help me on ortho today.


Izzie: Why are you hovering?
Cristina: Guess what came into the pit. No, don't guess. I'll tell you. Skydiver. Skydiver who's chute didn't open, who fell 12,000 feet and landed in some scrubbery.
Izzie: Whoa, poor guy. He probably broke every bone in his body.
Cristina: No, the point is not poor guy, the point is amazing surgery and it could be yours for the low, low price of everyday hum-drum cardic repair.
Izzie: Forget it. I'm not giving up Hahn's service.
Cristina: Hey, hey, cardio is my thing.
Izzie: No. I like this patient, and I like Hahn, and I like cardio.
Cristina : No, you know what, you are flirting with cardio. I am married to cardio. You will marry….general surgery. Or you know, okay, perhaps neuro. But you, you are nowhere near hardcore enough to commit to cardio.
Izzie: So you are telling me to... stop flirting with your husband. I get it. That’s cute. But if you’re going to ask me a favor... insulting my personal life is probably not a great tactic.
Cristina: No, no, wait I am not talking about your sex life. I could not care less about your sex life. It’s a skydiver. Izzie. A skydiver.
Izzie: Oh yeah, sounds real cool. Enjoy.


Mark: Well, this is cozy.
Callie: This is hell. I assigned O'Malley to you, so you could keep him away from me. And now our patients are connected to each other.
Mark: You're not looking at this like the opportunity that it is.
Callie: Meaning?
Mark: Meaning he's an intern, and it's like half my job torturing interns.
Callie: Thanks. That's almost sweet, but torturing George is not gonna make any of this any better. (Callie stares at George for a moment) Torture him, how exactly?


Chief: I hear we have a skydiver who fell 12,000 feet.
Rick: That'd be me.
Chief: Uh... He's talking?
Bailey: Clearly he's in shock. Can't feel the extent of his injuries.
Derek: Okay, let's get a CT.
Meredith: Cristina where you going?
Cristina: Multiple injuries means multiple surgeries. I'm goin' to get me some cardio.


Cristina: Please let this be good, something cardio good. Pleaseeee.
Paramedic (ambulance doors open): 33 year-old male, discovered unconcious, after suffering a 12,000 foot freefall.
Meredith: A what?
Paramedic: His parachute didn't open.
Cristina: What he fell 12,000 feet without a parachute? (they roll him into the hospital, Cristina looks up) Thank you.


Cristina: Heads up. Mr. Incredible, tweleve o'clock.
Derek (walks by): Hey.
Meredith: Hi.
Cristina: What the hell was that about?
Meredith: That was about the date that we have later in the on-call room. It's nothing.
Cristina: You sure seem to busy, to lose sleep for a whole lotta nothing.


Mark: What exactly is a gentlemen's evening?
Derek: I don't know. It's an evening, with gentlemen.
Mark: And strippers?
Derek: Nah, I don't think the Chief meant strippers.
Mark: Sure sounds like strippers. (to Bailey who is walking by) Dr. Bailey? What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say a gentlemen's evening?
Bailey: Tassels. Sequin tassels and one dollar bills. (walks off)
Mark: See? Strippers.
Derek: There will be no strippers. I'm almost positive.
Mark: So, you don't know what this thing is either?
Derek: No. But you're in?
Mark: Why not? I like to be suprised.


Chief: Derek Shepherd, you know Erica Hahn.
Derek: You're the new Burke.
Chief: And this is Mark Sloan, the head of plastics, Erica Hahn.
Mark: Ah, the new Burke.
Derek: Mmm. Welcome. Excuse us. (they walk away)
Erica: Interesting guys. And by interesting I mean ridiculously attractive. (Chief chuckles) Do you hire on looks alone or is skill actually a factor?
Chief: Good to have you here, Erica.
Erica: Good to be here, Richard.


Izzie: This is absurd.
George (sleepy): Hey.
Izzie: You shouldn't be sleeping in the on-call room.
George (mumbles): It's not always the on-call room. Sometimes it's the gurnies in the tunnel and the...
Izzie: That's absurd. When I have a perfectly good bed, and I know that we said that we would wait and be respectful, and we have been very respectful. (whispers) But now I want sex.
George (gets up off the bed): Right now?
Izzie: No. Tonight. (George flops back down on the bed) Tonight. We will have hot, perfect sex. Are you in?
George: I'm obviously in. (moves to kiss her)
Izzie: I gotta go. I got patients to check on. Erica Hahn to impress. I'm gonna go kick some cardio ass. Oh, god! I gotta shave my legs.
George: It's okay if you don't have a chance to shave your legs.
Izzie: No, it's not. It's not okay, George. I will be shaving my legs. Our perfect sex requires shaved legs.


Chief: Good morning. Trout, for breakfast... again.
Derek: Don't start. I let you live on my land. Don't start.
Chief: I am older than you. I've just seen life from both sides now.
Derek: Are you gonna start singing?
Chief: Just saying that a man who is up fishing at 3am every morning is a man in pain over a woman.
Derek: Oh, good. It's a country western song.
Chief I'm pointing out that it's a thing that we have in common, Derek. You know, what we need is something to take our mind off of everything. What we need is a gentleman's evening.
Derek: A what?
Chief: A good old fashioned gentleman's evening. Tonight.


Cristina: Okay, what are your other symptoms?
Meredith: Okay ... There’s the father thing. The mother thing. The sister thing... ummm ... the dying and coming back to life thing.
Cristina: You have too many things.
Meredith: I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep without the dreaming.
Cristina: And the panic attacks.
Meredith: One, one panic attack.
Cristina: But still--
Meredith: What’s wrong with me?
Cristina: As far as a I can tell... severe abandonment issues.
Meredith: That’s crap. Psych is crap. Issues?
Cristina: It’s in the book. The book said it not me. Have you consider maybe you and Derek should stop having break-up sex? (Meredith gives her a look) Okay...
Meredith: The more available he gets... The more I pull away.
Cristina: What do you mean?
Meredith: Nothing. It’s a Derek thing.


Meredith: Maybe I should just take a sleeping pill.
Cristina (yawns): Oh, no. Don't do that. You'll just get strung out and turn into a bad after school special. We'll just sleep, and then you'll sleep.
Meredith: I can't stop, Cristina, I can't stop seeing Derek. It's not about the sex. It's not about the sex, it's about that moment afterward. The world stops, just feels so safe... So safe. I'm not ready to give that up. Does that make me sad, weak, and pathetic?
Cristina: A little bit.
Meredith: What do I do?
Cristina: I don't know. (Meredith hears laughing and giggling outside of the door, and opens it to find Lexie and Alex standing there half naked. She glares at them and shuts the door)
Lexie: Alex, please tell me that you don't live with Meredith Grey.


Derek: She doesn't let me take care of her. That's not my job anymore. She won't let me.
Cristina: I'm taking care of her.


Meredith (voiceover): Deep down, everyone wants to believe they can be hardcore. But being hardcore isn’t just about being tough. It’s about acceptance. Sometimes you have to give yourself permission to not be hardcore for once. You don’t have to be tough every minute of every day. It’s okay to let down your guard. In fact there are moments when it’s the best thing you can possibly do… as long as you choose your moments wisely.


Meredith (voiceover): There’s this thing about being a surgeon. Maybe it’s pride or maybe it’s just about being tough. But a true surgeon never admits they need help, unless absolutely necessary. Surgeons don’t need to ask for help because they are tougher than that. Surgeons are cowboys, rough around the edges, hardcore... at least that’s what they want you to think.

4.07 Physical Attraction, chemical reaction

Before we were doctors, we were med students, which meant we spend a lot of time of studying chemistry. Organic chemistry, biochemistry, we learned it all. But when you're talking about human chemistry only one thing matters: either you've got it or you don't.

Chemistry. Either you've got it, or you don't.


Prima di essere medici, eravamo studenti di medicina il che significa che abbiamo passato molto tempo a studiare chimica. Abbiamo studiato tutto... chimica organica, biochimica. Ma quando si parla di chimica umana, solo una cosa è fondamentale.. o c'è o non c'è.
[..]
Chimica.. o c'è o non c'è.

Derek: What's new with you?
Meredith: I saw my half-sister half naked.

Meredith: What did you do tonight?
Derek: Nothing. You?
Meredith: Nothing.
Derek: It's late. Shouldn't you be going soon?
Meredith: I just want to lie here for a few more minutes.

Meredith: What's new with you?
Derek: I had dinner and a movie... with the Chief!

4.08 Forever young
There comes a point in your life, when you’re officially an adult. Suddenly, you’re old enough to vote, drink and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly, people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown-up. We get taller, we get older. But do we ever really grow up?
In some ways we grow up; we have families... we get married, divorced... but for the most part we still have the same problems that we did when we were fifteen. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling... forever wondering, forever... young.


Arriva il momento nella vita di ognuno di noi in cui si diventa ufficialmente adulti. All'improvviso si è in grado di votare, di bere e di intraprendere altre attività da adulti. All'improvviso tutti si aspettano che tu sia responsabile, serio, adulto. Cresciamo, invecchiamo ma diventiamo mai veramente adulti?
[..]
In un modo o nell'altro cresciamo. Mettiamo su famiglia, ci sposiamo, divorziamo. Ma quasi tutti continuiamo ad avere gli stessi problemi di quando avevamo 15 anni. Non importa se diventiamo grandi o diventiamo vecchi saremo sempre instabili, sempre curiosi... sempre giovani.
