Grey's Anatomy Quotes Season 3

Time Has Come Today [3.1]

Meredith (voice over): Time takes pleasure in kicking our asses. For even the strongest of us it seems to play tricks. Slowing down... hovering until it freezes. Leaving us stuck in a moment- unable to move in one direction or the other.

Alex: Izzie, Izzie! C'mon!

George: OK, she's been in there all night. We have to do something.

Alex: Yeah.

Meredith: Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah.

Meredith: [pause, glances around] Why are you all looking at me?

Cristina: Well, this is familiar territory for you.

Meredith: There is nothing familiar abut this! Unfamiliar! Denny died. The man she loves, died.

Cristina: Yeah, but you're all dark and twisty inside.

Meredith: I am not dark and twisty!

Cristina: What, with the Alzeihmers thing and the father you don't talk to.

Alex: And the tequila thing and the innapropriate men thing.

George: You are dark and twisty inside, Meredith, and now Izzie is dark and twisty inside.

Meredith: So all of a sudden I'm the president of people with crappy lives?

George: Seriously, we have to do something! Someone has to go in there.

Alex: Surgery's hard core.

Izzie:I'm hard core!

Alex: Babe, you won't last a year.

Christina: What is wrong with you?

Meredith: Everything with me is fine, it's Izzie we're worried about.

Christina: Oh, what did you do?

Meredith: Denny died. Burke got shot. Let's just have a little perspective and realize that what I did was a tiny, slightly small...

Cristina: Oh, whatever, just spit it out!

Meredith: I lost my panties, last night.

Cristina: You had sex with Derek in an exam room at the prom?

Meredith: Yes.

Cristina: Last Night. You and Shepherd did it.

Meredith: Yes.

Cristina: You and McDreamy did the Nasty Nasty?

[Meredith glares at her]

Meredith: Cristina!

Cristina: I'm not judging! I'm just trying to wrap my mind around it. I mean, you are with Finn and he's with Addison.

Meredith: He's married to Addison.

Cristina: YEAH! [pause] Well what did Derek say?

Meredith: He said "Meredith what does this mean?"

Cristina: Ugh! Ok! He has sex with you and he's standing there all McGuilty and all he can say is "Oh, What does this mean?" [pause] What does this mean?

Meredith: I don't know.

Cristina: Well are you gonna go back to Finn? Is Shepherd leaving his wife?

Meredith: I just...

Izzie: You know they took his body away. I'll never see him again. How would you feel if you never saw Burke again?

Addison: Derek, Derek, Derek, you can't do this, Derek. Derek, we have to, we have to talk about this. You have to give me a chance to explain. What are you doing? What are you doing with my clothes, Derek?! It was one time. I know that's what people say. I know that is what always gets said. It's just I don't even know how it happened, I don't know what I was thinking. It was just he was just here, it was just...

Derek: You screw my best friend and all you have to say is, 'He was just here.' [throws Addison's clothes outside] Get out.

Addison: No.

Derek: Get out!

Addison: No, no I'm not going.

Derek: Get out of my house now!

Addison: No, I'm holding my ground because we don't quit. We have to work this out.

Derek: Get out.

[grabs Addison and starts pulling her towards the door]

Addison: What are you doing? Derek?

[Derek shuts door on Addison]

Addison: No, no. [Addison starts crying as she is out in the rain] Please, Derek, please. Please.

[Derek opens the door]

Addison: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You have to give me a chance. You have to give me a chance to show you how sorry I am. Okay? Okay?

Derek: I'm gonna go, you stay. I'll get my clothes in the morning.

Addison: No, no, no, no, no, no. We can survive this, Derek. We can survive this. We're, we're Addison and Derek.

Derek: I can't look at you. I look at you and I feel nauseous. It's just...wha...wha...wha? [shakes head] We're not Derek and Addison anymore.

Addison: If you go now. if you go now we are not gonna get through this. If you go now, we don't have a chance. We don't have a chance, if you go now, if you go...

[Derek walks out the door]

George: That's Alex's apple! (Derek takes a bite) That's just...rude.

Meredith: Dark and twisty Meredith. I'm not dark and twisty. And if I am, it's because I live my life under a banner of avoidance. I avoid. I'm an avoider.

Finn: Hello?

Meredith: Hey.

Finn: Hey. So, can we, uh...?

Meredith: Izzie, I gotta go check on Izzie.

Finn:

Callie: Don't take it personally, its the doctor thing.

Finn: What?

Callie: Four years of high school, four years of college, four years of med school : by the time we graduate we're in our late twenties and we've never done anything except go to school and think about science. Time stops. We're socially retarded. Ha, I mean, look at me, I'm in love with a guy who won't say he loves me back and here I am, in his kitchen, just hoping he comes home and notices me. I'm a total freak. I'm that girl, who sits in the back of the class and eats her hair. And Meredith, shes seventeen years old, we're all seventeen years old. This is high school with scalpels, Finn.

Izzie: I feel like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast... and I just want to go back to when things were normal, when I wasn't poor Izzie laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her... her dead fiancee. But I am. So I can't. Am. I'm just stuck... And there's all this pressure cause everyones hovering around wating for me to do something or say something or flip out or yell or cry some more. And I'm happy to play my part. I'm happy to say the lines and do whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing if it would make everyone feel more comfortable. But I don't... I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be this person. I don't know who this person is.

Meredith: Izzie...

Izzie: How did this happen? Why did we end up here? Why am I alone? Wheres Denny?

Meredith: You're not alone, Iz.

Derek: There are moments O'Malley...moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it...you're somewhere else.

Joe: Straight tequila? Really? You are going to be sorry in the morning.

Meredith: I'm always sorry in the morning. But tomorrow is my first day at work, so keep 'em coming.

Derek: Double scotch, single malt please. [To Meredith] So, is this a good place to hang out?

Meredith: I wouldn't know, never been here before.

Derek: You know what? I haven't either. First time here. I'm new in town. Never been to Seattle. New job soon. Ah, you're ignoring me.

Meredith: Um, trying to.

Derek: Well you shouldn't ignore me.

Meredith: Why not?

Derek: Because I'm someone you need to get to know to love.

Meredith: Really?

Derek: Oh yes.

Meredith: So if I know you, I'll love you?

Derek: Oh yes.

Meredith: You really like yourself huh?

Derek: Just hiding my pain.

[They laugh.]

Derek: So what's your story?

Meredith: I don't have a story. I'm just a girl in a bar.

Derek: I'm just a guy in a bar.

Alex: How do you not know your kids pregnant?

Addison: You love your kids, you want to see the best in them.

Alex: Ok, then how do you have a baby and throw it in a trash can?

Addison: Something happens, and you panic. You freeze, and you wanna hide it and pretend like it didn't happen... I get that.

Alex: You get that?

Addison: I do. I just don't get what happens afterward. I don't get how you go back to class and pretend like everythings fine, everythings not fine.

George: [panicky] Is it hot in here?

Derek: No.

George: Then why am I sweating?

Derek: 'Cause you're pacing.

George: No, my pulse is rapid.

Derek: You're still pacing.

George: Feel me.

Derek': I'm not gonna feel you.

George: No, seriously.

Derek: Seriously! No!

George: You know what? You're an ass. You've lived! You've done things. And you've got the hair. And the hot wife, and the beautiful ex-mistress who's pined for you...

Derek: She's pining for me?

George: You've lived! If you die, who cares... If I die, what? This is IT? Callie told me she loved me, I just sat there. I wasn't ready, but now I'm gonna die, and I'll never get the chance to say I love you back.

Derek: Do you? Do you love her?

George: Maybe. Eventually, I could. One day....soonish....

Derek: Soonish. I love you soonish? [laughs]

George: You ever tell Meredith? You ever tell her that you love her?

Derek: No.

George: I did, but...and with Callie, you know, it's different, but--

Derek: You should tell her. Even if it's soonish. You should tell her before it's too late.

George: [grins] You mean before I die of the plague?

Derek: Before somebody else comes along.

[Finn and Callie are laughing, Meredith walks into the kitchen]

Callie: Oh, Uh, I'm gonna... I'm gonna leave the room for a period of time for no reason whatsoever.

Finn: I dont know what happened last night, between you and Derek.

Meredith: Finn.

Finn: And I don't wanna know, alright, we never said that we are exclusive.

Meredith: But... you have plans.

Finn: Yeah, well I didn't say I wasn't pissed off. I said we weren't exclusive. Thats all I wanted to say... Oh, and this : I know you think you're scary and damaged.

Meredith: Dark and Twisty.

Finn: It makes you think you don't deserve good things, but you do. And Derek, he's bad for you. But me, I'm a good thing. And if there is a race, if there is a ring, my hat is in.

Derek: Hi.

Meredith: Hi.

Derek: I was going to come over this morning. But, uh...

Meredith: I heard, the quarantine.

Derek: Yeah.

Meredith: So, what does this mean?

Derek: It means you have a choice. You have a choice to make. And I don't want to rush you into making the decision before you're ready. This morning I was going to come over... I was going to say... What I wanted to say was... But now all I can say is that... I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for, ever. I'm a little late, I know I'm a little late in telling you that. I, I just, I just want you to take your time, you know. Take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong. [Exhales] Goodnight.

Adele: I don't have any more time to give.

Cristina: Don't ever die.

Burke: I'll do my best.

Izzie: Isn't this so cool? I mean, can you believe it? Tomorrow we're gonna be surgeons.

Meredith (voice over): Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us can want is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.

 I am a Tree [3.2]

Meredith (voice over): At any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don’t have control over most of them. When we get a chill...goose bumps. When we get excited...adrenaline. The body naturally follows it’s impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had.

[After they catch Cristina on top of Burke with just her bra and panties on]

Preston (shocked): Mama. Daddy.

Cristina: (while she gets off of him and grabs the blanket she whispers) Mama, and daddy?!

Jane Burke: Preston, is this a new service that the hospital is providing?

Cristina: I told you to guard the door!

Nurse Tyler: I had a code blue.

Cristina: I had parents walk in.

Nurse Tyler: We saved the guy’s life.

Cristina: Whatever, I want my 20 bucks back.

Nurse Tyler: Sorry, I bought everyone coffee…to celebrate saving the guy’s life. (leaves)

Meredith: It's not Tyler's fault you're a dirty, dirty stripper.

Cristina: You heard?

Meredith: Everyone heard. Stripper.

Cristina: Oh you're one to talk. Sleeping with 2 men.

Meredith: Wrong. Not sleeping with either one of them. Not until I pick one. If I haven't made a decision by the end of the day, I'm flipping a coin. A girl can only hold out for so long.

Cristina: And somehow I'm the dirty stripper? Huh?!

Bailey: You two have time to round or are you too busy getting naked on hospital property?

Cristina: I wasn't naked. I wasn't naked.

Chief: You got a coffee stain on your shirt.

Addison: You got a bed on your couch.

Chief: I hope you're not planning to see patients in your sweatsuit.

Addison: Actually, um, I need the day off.

Chief: The day off, for what?

Addison: For drinking. I am feeling the need to do some drinking. Actually, I'm feeling the need to do some crying, but my tearducts seem to be too proud, so, I'm going to do some drinking instead.

Chief: What, no laboring moms today?

Addison: Because ... I think God knows that I need to do some drinking today.

Interns, Bailey and Derek present patient Benjamin O'Larry. His sister Ruthie is with him.

Cristina: Benjamin O'Leary, 32, in for the removal of a brain tumor that's pressing on his temporal frontal lobe. Clearly it's effecting his impulse control.

Benjamin: It makes me say everything I think. Which apparently is annoying. This doctor looks annoyed anyway. Although it's hard to tell cause she always has a pinched uptight look on her face. Am I annoying you?

Cristina: It's fine.

Ruthi: You can't say it's fine. He doesn't preceive sarcasm or irony. If he's annoying you, you have to tell him.

Benjamin: Maybe I'm not annoying her Ruthie.

Cristina: No, you are.

Bailey: Doctor Yang!

Cristina: He asked!

Derek: Okay Benjamin, Doctor Yang, as pinched and annoyed as she might be, is going to prep you for surgery today. Do you have any questions for me?

Benjamin: Is that blonde your girlfriend? 'Cause the way you keep looking at her, you might as well just mount her right here, right now. [Derek and the interns are trying not to laugh.] I'm sorry was I rude?

Benjamin: You're very pretty. But you look kinda tired. And I think maybe you should change your hair conditioner."

Benjamin: Do you have sex with that brain surgeon?

Meredith: Nope I haven't, not today anyway.

Benjamin: I would. He's hot and arrogant in a way that's still sexy. I would totally have sex with him if I could. So what's the holdup?

Bailey: [angry] I'm proud of you all. You make me proud. You reflect on me well. Grey, if you think you can keep your clothes on long enough to follow up the labs I will appreciate it.

Alex: The pit? I’m off gynie?

Bailey: Doctor Montgomery-Shepherd is out sick. You can cover the or you can… [notices the bulletin board] [angry] You can tell me who's damn panties are on the bulletin board! [Alex and George laugh]

Cristina: [whispers to Meredith] Yours?

Bailey: This is a hospital people, serious work happens here. We save lives here--[to Alex] Oh, something funny? [Alex shakes his head] Whose are these?

Meredith: [whispers to Cristina] This is bad, this isn't good.

Cristina: [whispers to Meredith] You better claim them. She thinks they are mine. Claim them!

Meredith: [whispers to Cristina] No!

Bailey: [looking at Meredith and Cristina] I know it's one of you. It's always one of mine. Always. So tell me, which one of you left your damn drawers on my surgical floor!

Bailey: O’Malley, Yang, prep your patients for surgery. Karev pit, Grey charts. All four of you do not make me regret setting you loose in this hospital. Please do not make me regret letting you loose in this hospital. O'Malley, what do I mean by this?

George: You mean check with you before we cut any wires or steal any hearts?

Jane Burke: Did I hear you refer to Miranda Bailey as a Nazi?

Cristina: What? Oh, no. Oh, um, uh---yes. But--

Jane Burke: You do understand that the Nazi’s were responsible for the worst genocide in the history of man? And a racist genocide at that. I would think that a woman of color and a doctor, no less, that you would think twice before using that word as a punch line.

Cristina: I’ll think about that in the future, Mrs. Burke.

Jane Burke: Would you mind if I borrowed your young intern for a quick cup of coffee? I’ll bring her right back.

Derek: Oh, no problem. Dr. Grey can cover for Cristina.

Meredith: I’m sorry?

Cristina: Uh, Dr. Grey is very busy, she has charts to do for Dr. Bailey. (to Derek) Bailey’s on the warpath. (turns back to Mrs. Burke) It’s not the German warpath. More of like a hospital warpath-

[Stairwell]

Derek: This is a change. From the elevator. A little bit more public I like that.

Meredith: You're married. You're married and you said things to me.

Derek: Yes. I said things to you

Meredith: Normally I would like the things you said to me. Normally I would even think the bulletin board thing was funny.

Derek: Bulletin board thing? What are you talking about?

Meredith: But you're married. Which makes none of this normal. It makes me a homewrecker and I hate the fact that I'm a homewrecker.

Derek: Meredith. I'm not going to pressure you. Take all the time you need. Just so you have all the information. But my home was wrecked way before you came into the picture. I am just now done trying to rebuild it.

Meredith: You're done.

Derek: I'm done, whatever you decide. I'm ending it with Addison today.

Meredith: You have said this before.

Derek: I know but this time I mean it. I'm gonna come clean just as soon as I see her.

Meredith: You are?

Derek: I am.

[Derek leans in and they almost kiss, but Callie walks in. ]

Cristina: Your mother wants to have coffee with me.

Burke: And?

Cristina: And .. she thinks I'm a racist. Oh, and a stripper. She thinks I'm a racist stripper. (Burke laughs) Oh, come on, what’s funny? This is not funny.

Burke: It’s kinda funny. She’s my mama Cristina.

Cristina: Your “Mama“?

Burke: You’ll love her once you get to know her. Everybody loves my mama.

Jane Burke: [about Burke] He's the best thing I've ever done.

Jane Burke: Preston, what on earth are you doing out of bed?

Burke: Oh, I wanted to get some---I needed to stretch my legs, mama.

Jane Burke: But you’re not supposed to stretch your legs, you’re supposed to be resting.

Burke: Right. But I wanted to have some---(looks at Cristina who is mouthing words to him) air. Some, stretching, some air and some coffee.

Cristina: We already have coffee. Have a seat.

Burke: Just a second. (leaves)

Jane Burke: You did this.

Cristina: Did what?

Jane Burke: Cristina, it’s not that I don’t like you. I think that you’re a very smart, and a very attractive young woman. But you’re selfish.

Cristina: I beg your pardon.

Jane Burke: Oh, you pulled him out of a sickbed because you were uncomfortable. That’s selfish. You’re selfish and my son is giving and the combination, well, it’s not gonna last, not much longer.

[Derek knocks on the Chief's door]

Derek: Hey Chief, you haven't heard from Addison, have you? She's not answering any phones.

Chief: Actually, she needed a day off. Something about finding another woman's panties in the pocket of your tux?

Derek: That's ... that's not how I wanted her to find out.

Chief: You don't leave another woman's panties in your tux unless you want her to find them. I know a thing or two about affairs. I even know a thing or two about affairs with women named Grey.

Callie: Are you trying to seduce me?

George: I was just wondering about the panties. The panties that are yours, and how they ended up on the bulletin board. Black, lacy, panties on the board.

Callie: You are trying to seduce me.

George: No. No, I’m not. I’m just wondering how panties that I’ve never seen before---and I’ve seen your panties a lot of days in a row now---I’m just wondering how black panties that apparently belong to you that I’ve never seen before end up on a bulletin board.

Callie: Wow. You’re jealous.

Alex: So, you and O'Malley, huh? How'd that happen?

Callie: I don't know, you're a surgeon, how'd that happen?

Cristina: (to Meredith) I’m not selfish. I mean, I took off all my clothes this morning, that’s not selfish. And I’m going in for surgery, that’s not selfish. Selfish people don’t save lives.

[after pushing Hernandez into the wall]

Alex: He was blocking the paramedic.

Bailey: No, he is terrified. His child is a tree! [enraged] Alex, listen to me. You will not get physical with another human being on my watch ever again, you will not question my authority, and you will not defend your own girlfriend for killing a man, are we clear?!

Alex: She's not my girlfriend.

Cristina: His mother rivals my mother and that's saying something. Both of them, dark and evil.

Meredith: I'm missing dirty stripper Cristina. She was fun and less angry.

Cristina: Next time she even looks at me sideways, I’m telling her what I think. She wants to call me a racist. Yeah, okay? I’ll call her a sexist. Change my career after I’m married. What is this, 1953? If she comes at me, I’m going there.

Meredith: I think you should. I think we should all just go there. You know, tell the truth, spit it out, go with your gut, follow your instincts.

Cristina: I miss philandering whore Meredith. She was trashy, and much less idyllic.

George: Do women have two sets of panties?

Benjamin: Why are you so angry? Because you're frigid? Or he's frigid?

Cristina: Nobody's frigid.

[At Meredith's house]

Meredith: Finn!

Finn: Hey! What are you doing home? I thought you were working.

Meredith: I am. I was. I still am, I just came home to check on Izzie.

Finn: So did I. [holds up paper bag] I brought her lunch.

Meredith: You brought Izzie lunch?

Finn: When my wife died, there really wasn't anything anyone could say, but the bringing of food actually helped. It was the only thing that helped.

Meredith: You brought Izzie food.

Finn: Yeah.

Meredith: Even though you didn't think I was here.

Finn: Is that okay?

Meredith: Yeah. It's amazing, actually. You're amazing. Sweet, and thoughtful, and sensitive.

Finn: Meredith, I don't wanna pressure you. You have a decision to make, and I want you to take all the time that you need. But I do wanna make one thing clear.

Meredith: What's that?

Finn: I'm not all that sensitive.

[Kisses her deeply]

Finn: So. Have a nice day at work.

[at Joes]

Addison: Dr. Stevens!

Izzy: Please don't call me doctor.

Addison: Oookay, please don't call me Mrs. Shepherd! Haaaa! That's funny.

Izzy: She's drunk.

Joe: This is true.

Addison: Did you know about the slutty sex your slutty friend had with my super slutty husband?

Izzy: You should have a muffin. They're really good and they help you.

Addison: I may be beyond help.

Izzy: Yeah, me too.[walks out] Don't let her drive Joe.

Addison: [eats a muffin] Mmm. good.

[at Joes]

Addison: [drunk to Bailey] I've decided that I'm gonna get really fat. Just as a stop gap, just until I figure out another plan. Eat all of these muffins and I'm gonna get really gloriously fat! It's over. Over. Ooover. I'm talking about the last 1/3 of my life Miranda. How can that be just over. How can that just end? Over a skanky pair of panties and bad tux. I'm desirable Amanda.

Bailey: Miranda.

Addison: Right. Joe, I'm desirable right?

Joe: I have a boyfriend.

Addison: Be that as it may, I don't need me to tell you how wildly attractive I am. Wildly attractive!

Joe: You are. And your wildly attractive cab is here.

Addison: It is?

Joe: Told me to call a cab at ten. It's ten. [Joe leaves]

Addison: It is? I guess that's for the best huh?

Bailey: I would say so.

[at Joes. George is throwing darts and it almost hit a nurse]

Nurse: Watch it!

Meredith: [grabs his shirt] George! Callie is hot. She's really sexy almost dirty hot. And she's hot for you. In my opinion you could keep using the darts as a weapons or you could go get lucky with the sexy hot dirty girl. [George leaves and Cristina enters]

Cristina: Where's he going?

Meredith: To get laid.

Cristina: There's something wrong in the world when Bambi's getting laid and I can't get 5 minutes alone with Burke.

Cristina: What are you doing?

Meredith: Day's over, I'm flipping a coin. Call it.

Cristina: Brain surgeon should be heads.

Meredith: Right.

[Meredith flips coin]

[At Joe's]

Derek: Finn.

Finn: Derek.

Meredith: Thanks for coming, both of you. Thanks for coming. So here's the thing. [to Finn] I like you. [to Derek] And I like you. And I thought I had a choice to make. I thought I had to decide. But I think I owe myself the chance to consider my options.

Derek and Finn: Options?

Meredith: There's this thing that allows for the considering of options. In the olden days, they called it dating.

Derek: Dating?

Meredith: Yes, I'd like to try that.

Derek: You wanna try dating?

Meredith: Yes.

Finn: Both of us?

Meredith: Yes. And I understand if you're not up for it. But I really hope you are.

[Meredith leaves]

Finn: You bowing out?

Derek: No. You?

Finn: I don't think so.

[At the bar. After emerging from the bathroom, after the female (former patient, then current patient) he followed in there]

Alex: You're right, Dr Bailey. I shouldn't get physical with patients.

George: [walking into Callie's basement] Okay, I'm jealous. But I have a right to be jealous because I don't want other guys touching your panties! [turns corner to see the Chief sitting on Callie's bed with her] Great! That's just....great!

[On a bench outside the hospital]

Callie: The panties.

George: Yeah.

Callie: Not mine.

George: Yeah?

Callie: The jealousy?

George: Yeah?

Callie: Insanely hot.

Bailey: went soft. I…had a baby, and I swore that it wouldn’t change me, it’s justit does change you. I got tired, I got busy, and I stopped teaching. I stopped teaching when you needed a teacher the most.

Izzie: You couldn’t have stopped me.

Bailey: Yes, I could’ve. You couldn’t have stopped you, but I could have. And in the past I would have. I went soft, and I’m partly to blame for what happened so… I want you to come back. You’ll talk to the chief. We’ll work it out, because you’re talented and capable---we all make mistakes---(sees that Izzie is still holding onto the spatula)…that’s enough muffins. (Izzie lets go of the spatula)

[Hotel. Addison opens the door.]

Addison: I thought you were room service.

Derek: I feel terrible. I'm not proud of what I did. You deserve better. I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry about the panties, the prom. I'm sorry I did that.

Addison:: Yeah. I'm sorry you did that too.

Derek: Our marriage is over.

Addison:: Yeah I guess it is.

Derek: It's all my fault. It's incredibly sad. Incredibly sad.

[Bathroom doors opens. Mark walks out, barely covering himself with a towel. Derek looks over his shoulder, shocked, then back at Addison.]

Mark: This is awkward.

[Takes Addison's champagne and smiles]

Derek: I feel much better now.

[He gets up and walks out]

Meredith (voice over): The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was. Then again...

George: So um---um, Doctor Bailey…

Bailey: Surgeons don't say um... O'Malley. If you want to be a surgeon, you need to learn how to speak like one.

Alex: Look, he wants you to talk to the Chief about Izzie, see if she can come back.

George: She’s just baking--a lot of baking and it just seems a waste for all her talented medical skills to go into muffins. We just thought you might be willing to help.

Bailey: Stop talking.

Alex: What’s not clear to me is why you won’t talk to Izzie. That’s what’s not clear.

Bailey: Really? Today. Today you want to push me on this?

 Sometimes a Fantasy [3.3]

Meredith: [opening voiceover] Surgeons usually fantisize about wild and improbable surgeries. Someone collapses in a restaurant, you splice them open with a butter knife, replace a valve with a hollowed out stick of carrot-- but every now and then some other kind of fantasy slips in. Most of our fantasies resolve when we wake, vanished to the back of our mind, but sometimes we're sure if we try hard enough-- we can live the dream.

Meredith: I was having a really good dream and your ruined it.

George: Sorry. There’s, ah, these boxes. All these boxes. Callie said she’s bringing her stuff over, and ah…it’s all here.

Meredith: It’s ok George, I don’t mind.

George: I don’t mind either. Nah. I don’t mind a bit…kick her out.

Meredith: What? I can’t kick her out. You said she could move in.

George: I said she could stay for a couple of days. A couple of days. It’s been over a week! Now there are boxes and she’s using my computer and she’s here all the time! Would you kick her out? Kick her out now.

Callie (comes out of the bathroom): Hey you guys might wanna wait a little while, there’s no more hot water.

Mark: You know, I don’t have to leave today. I could change my flight.

Addison: No. No, you can’t. ‘Cause I’m sober now and there’s work to get to and planes to be caught and real lives to be led. Thank you, truly, Mark, for all of the sex. Really, I feel much better now. I do. And I’m, um…well, now I have to go. And so do you. So, uh, do you want me to call you a cab to the airport?

(Mark pulls her onto the bed)

[Meredith and Cristina at the elevator]

Derek: Hey

Meredith: Hi. I had a dream about you last night.

Derek: You did? What was I doing, bringing you coffee?

Meredith: You were definitely not bringing me coffee. But coffee is good.

Derek: I'm told that dating starts with a casual invitation over a cup of coffee.

Meredith: Does it?

Derek: So Meredith, would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight? How was that? Was that casual?

Cristina: It was good.

Meredith: So we're dating.

Derek: We're dating. Pick you up at 8. [Derek leaves and Finn enters]

Meredith: [suprised] Hey.

Finn: I was in the neighborhood. Well really I wasn't, but you are worth the detour.

Meredith: I had a dream about you last night.

Finn: You did? Was it a good dream?

Meredith: It was.

Finn: What was I doing?

Cristina: Yeah Mer, what was he doing?

Meredith: Uh...What's that?

Finn: It's for you. It's coffee cake, best in the North West. I thought I would soften you up. So when I'm asking you for dinner tonight you have to say yes.

Cristina: Dinner? Tonight? How about that. Are you free tonight? Are you?

Meredith: Actually, I'm not free tonight.

Finn: Lunch then? I'll come here.

Meredith: You're volunterring to eat hospital food?

Finn: I love crappy food.

Meredith: 1:00?

Finn: I'll be here! [leaves]

Cristina: You had a dream about the both of them. Threesome? Nice. Just when I think you're boring, you rise.

Meredith: I'm dating. And it comes with snacks.

Addison: Karev, you ready?

Alex: Isn’t this getting old for you?

Addison: Nope. Makes my whole day, actually.

Callie: You were weird this morning.

George: I wasn’t weird, anymore than I usually am in the morning. (Callie gives him a strange look) It’s a weird time of the day for a lot of people. It’s bright, and crowded in our house. Just a lotta people runnin’ around.

Addison: You missed your plane.

Mark: Grounded on account of bad weather.

Addison: It’s a cloudless sky, that happens, like, twice a year in Seattle.

Mark: Yeah, but there’s a typhoon in New York.

Addison: Here's the thing. We both really enjoy each other. Before...and now again and I think that's a healthy realease and I...I think it's healthy [Mark starts stroking Addison's shoulder] for everyone involved but I do think just because I made what can only be called a transcontintental booty call, doesn't mean we should be trying to make something out of this and we...Stop doing that!!!

Mark: Why?

Addison: Because I can't think.

Mark: We're good together.

Addison: We aren't. You need to go home.

Mark: Come back with me.

Addison: You're insane. You're not going back... [Mark trys to kiss Addison] I'm not going back to New York.

Mark: Because it was just about the sex. [They almost kiss then Addison slaps him]

Addison: Oh! Um...okay uh well good bye.

Mark: Bye [Addison walks out of the bar, but looks back at Mark]

Cristina: I'm knee deep in coffee, and he's on the sofa playing with himself. And not in a good way.

Meredith (seeing Izzie standing outside the hospital): Hey Izzie! You done with the chief?

Izzie: Not yet.

Meredith: Are you ok?

Izzie: I’m fine. What are you guys doin’?

Cristina:[about Meredith] She's dating everyone with a pulse and I'm trying to get Burke out of the belljar.

Alex: Megan, these bruises and these cuts all over you? This isn’t normal.

Megan: I get in fights a lot, ok? ‘Cause I’m stronger than some of the other kids, and I end up defending the ones who are whimpy or small or whatever.

Alex: You know you’re scrawny, right? You’re not one of the big kids.

Megan: Yeah, but I can take them in a fight.

Cristina: I can't believe this! She has two dates and I have a wife.

Cristina: A recovery’s hell on a spouse. It’s gonna be harder for you then for him.

Leanna: My mom’s staying with us for a week, maybe she should stay longer.

Cristina: No, it’s brutal being a caretaker. Fetching the paper, and then cleaning the carpet. And oh, oh he wants ice in a cup, not a mug. It never stops. (coming to a realization) It’s the caretakers that are the silent victims. You know, and what do you ever hear about them? Nothing, I never hear anything about them. And it’s always, the patient this, the patient that. The silent victims.

Cristina: Oh look - she's laughing. Because he made a joke, which probably wasn't funny. Ohhh, you funny vet!

Meredith: I'm an intern, I still have a lot to learn.

Finn: Apparently, so do I.

Alex: We need to run a CT on this kid’s abdomen. This superhero stuff’s way outta hand.

Bailey: So what if she thinks she’s a superhero? I believed in Santa Claus ‘til I was 11.

Alex: Really? Did Santa ever hit you in the gut with a baseball bat?

Burke (outside the hospital): Coming or going?

Izzie: I don’t know.

Burke: Me either.

Alex: Hey, you’re a loser. You like comic books, right?

George (guiltily): No… (nods his head, behind Christina's back, and mouths "Yes")

Alex: I got this kid, this patient. She thinks she’s a superhero. What’s up with that?

George: Superhero? Well, superheroes look like anyone, like you or me. Maybe they’re not someone that people necessarily notice as extraordinary. Maybe in their daily life they get walked on. But then, there’s a moment they get hit by a cosmic ray or bitten by a radioactive spider, and then suddenly something that has been inside them all this times comes raging out -

Alex: Dude, forget I asked.

[Meredith is looking for lost girl. Opens closet door to see Addison crying]

Meredith: Megan...oh hi.

Addison: Weren't you just up on three?

Meredith: Well we lost a patient, a little girl and I was just trying...

Addison: Why don't you pick a floor and stay on it and I'll pick a floor and stay on that because I really need a moment or two without you. Your face shows up in my head and your panties show up in my husband's pocket, really you're everywhere and I need a moment or two without you.

Meredith: I get that.

Addison: Thanks. [Meredith closes the door]

George: You’ve been standing out here for a while.

Izzie: For a while I stood over there.

George: Maybe you should sit down.

Izzie: I don’t wanna sit down.

George: Maybe you should sit down anyway.

Izzie: Go inside, George.

George: Izzie, seriously…

Izzie: I hate the bride thing. I hate the pictures in the magazines of the girl with the veil...and the flowers that she's sniffing. Like it never occurred to her to put her nose in there until there was a camera pointed at her. I hate the idea of bridesmaids...and the colors...and does the bustle make my ass look bigger or smaller. I hate the whole thing and I never wanted to be that girl. That girl is stupid... and shallow. So why the hell is that girl's thoughts running through my head?

George: Izzie…

Izzie: I’m going to do it, George. I’m going to walk through those doors. I just need to make sure that when I’m standing in front of the chief of surgery, I am not thinking about my wedding dress. And that’s gonna take a minute.

Alex: We got half the hospital lookin’ for you. Your powers of invisibility are well intact. Get up.

Megan: You’re a hosebag, you know that?

Alex: And you have a potty mouth.

Megan: Nobody’s cutting me open.

Alex: It’s surgery, we do it all the time. In fact, it’s all we do.

Megan: You can’t keep telling my foster parents I’m defective. They can’t afford surgery. It’s too expensive.

Alex: They can handle it.

Megan: They’ll send me back!

Alex: Dude, that’s stupid. They got their own personal superhero. Nobody sends back a superhero.

Megan: I thought you said I didn’t have superpowers?

Alex: Yeah, well, you don’t. But take away Green Lantern’s ring, guy’s still a superhero, right?

Bailey (operating on Megan): Look at this. Everybody wants a life without pain. What does it get you? She needs to be on a poster somewhere, to remind people pain’s there for a reason.

George: I'm not ready to move in together!

Callie: Well, if you weren't a toddler and could use your words then you would have said that the first 4 times that I asked. Then I would say "Oh, that's funny, me neither. I'm looking for a place, I'll be out in a week."

Geroge: Really? Because you--

Callie: George save it, I'll be out in an hour.

Finn: Strawberry ice cream. A patient of mine made it.

Derek: You mean your patient's owner?

Meredith: What exactly is going on here?!

Derek: He's crashing our date.

Finn: Well where do you think I got that idea?

Derek: I didn't crash your date, it was proffesional.

Finn: You can't operate without her?

Derek: I certainly operate well with her.

Meredith: Enough! This is NOT dating. I want moonlight, and flowers, and candy and people trying to feel me up. Nobody is trying to feel me up. Nobody is even looking at me. I'm an intern, do the two of you have any idea how much effort it takes to do all this? I am waxed and plucked and I have a clean top on. And the two of you are looking at each other.

Derek: Meredith.....

Meredith: No, my fantasy is not two men looking at each other.

Finn: We didn't....

Meredith: No talking until one of you figures out how to put on a date. I want heat! I want romance! Damn it, I want to feel like a freaking lady!

Alex: Does it hurt?

Izzie: ...yeah.

Alex: Where does it hurt?

Izzie: Everywhere...

Alex: Maybe it hurts for a reason.

Mark: I have a thing for ferryboats.

Meredith: (voice over) The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good, and twice as much pleasure is better. That pain is bad, and no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something, and there's only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomach ache. And maybe that's okay. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.

 What I Am [3.4]

Meredith: At some point during surgical residency, most interns get a sense of who they are as doctors and the kinds of surgeons they want to become. If you ask them, they'll tell you they want to be general surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons. Distinctions which do more than describe their area of expertise, they define who they are, because outside the operating room, not only do most surgeons have no idea who they are, they're also afraid to find out.

Burke: I need more chickens.

Cristina: No more chickens. Okay? It’s bad enough that Meredith is dating a vet, I am not dating a chicken surgeon.

Derek: You're burning up. You don't look fine. You look beautiful, but you don't look fine.

Cristina: Now I'm gonna throw up.

Chief: What kind of idiot lights a cigarette in the hospital?

Derek: Apparently people do idiotic things all the time.

Cristina: Holy crap, are you pregnant?! [everyone hears this]

Addison: An adulterous love child?!

Derek: Goes along with an adulterous sociopath.

Cristina: So, who's the father?

Meredith: I’m not pregnant.

Cristina: I didn’t know I was pregnant when I was pregnant either. But the abdominal pain, fever and the nonstop vomiting?

Meredith: I’m not pregnant.

Cristina: You don’t know who the father is, do you?

Meredith: It would have to be Derek’s, there’s no way it could be Finn’s.

Cristina: You haven’t had sex with the vet yet? You gotta get out of that relationship immediately.

Meredith: I can’t be pregnant, can I?

Cristina: With a McBaby!

Meredith: Was I this mean to you when you were pregnant?

Meredith: You're a good friend.

Cristina: So high right now.

Meredith: Actually, you're my best friend in the whole entire world.

Cristina: I just feel sorry for you.

Meredith: Why? Because I could die today.

Cristina: This is why I hate being around stoned people.

Meredith: And if I did die today, I'd only be remembered as the slutty intern who dated two doctors.

Cristina: No, one doctor and one vet.

Meredith: Derek, Finn, Derek, Finn. I'd die as the girl who couldn't make a choice, right?

Cristina: Probably. But none of that matters, because you'll be dead.

Derek: (Examining Burke's arm) I’m not saying he’s a bad doctor.

Burke: Of course not. Um-

Derek: I’m saying he’s like, a bad person. The man has no morality. No ethics.

Burke: Um, there’s no pain, there’s no numbness, but um –

Derek: I mean the question is do we really want our interns learning from somebody like that?

Burke: Derek. My arm.

Derek: Yeah. Oh, it’s good. It’s great. Great range of motion. I can clear you for surgery.

Derek: How’s Dr. Grey?

Cristina: Oh she’s not pregnant. With anyone’s baby! So…. Yeah.

Bailey: Since when do you "get out?"

Addison: Clearly, I'm not myself today.

Bailey: Never would have figured Mark Sloan to be your type.

Addison: He's not...he's not...What is he doing here? He's NOT supposed to be here. I can't have him here, I can't...he's supposed to be in New York. I can't function with him here. I'm a professional here, people respect me here, but when he's here I'm just...I'm...

Bailey: A woman who gets the hots for man candy and cheats on her husband.

Addison: That is rude. And unkind. And completely true. Oh My God, what am I gonna do?

Bailey: For starters, you can keep your knees closed in his presence

Addison: Miranda!

Bailey: You asked. And also, you can remember, that no man, not Derek, not Mark, defines who you are.

[Finn walks into the room]

Meredith: [on morphine] Oh, can I just say how much it helps that I am on drugs right now?

Derek: (to Finn) So how's life in the animal kingdom?

Meredith: Now all my boys are here! You’re all so handsome, and such good kissers.

George: Oh …. God.

Finn:Scuse me?

George:She’s on drugs.

Meredith: He's an excellent kisser.

Finn: You two...dated?

Derek: You didn't know?

Meredith: It wasn't a date so much as a...disastrously uncomfortable sexual experience.

[Bailey walks in]

Meredith: Dr. Bailey, all my boyfriends are here!

Meredith: Am I the only one who remembers the last time George scrubbed in on an appendectomy? He almost killed the guy. Sorry George.

Meredith: [on morphine, to Bailey] You're pretty.

Alex: Why not just cut me loose and let me in on a surgery where I might actually learn something?

Addison: Mark Sloan's burn case.

Alex: I'm going into plastics anyway.

Addison: Do you think that Mark Sloan has anything to teach you, he's just like you. He's only looking out for himself.

Alex: So what? Your patient's looking out for herself, you're looking out for yourself.

Addison: No, I'm not, actually.

Alex: Well, maybe you should be.

[Meredith is sitting in her hospital room on morphine]

Meredith: Addison! Dr. Montgomery Shepherd!!

Addison: You bellowed, Dr. Grey?

Meredith: Hi.

Addison: You certainly are, aren't you. [looks at Meredith's chart] But you're not pregnant.

Meredith: No. Are you okay?

Addison: Fine. How are you?

Meredith: I'm trying to choose between two men.

Addison: Oh-kay well, good luck with that. [Addison starts to leave the room]

Meredith: How did you know Derek was the one? [Addison turns around and looks at Meredith]

Addison: Excuse me?

Meredith: I know you hate me and you don't owe me anything. Nothing. No...thing What was I saying?

Addison: Derek.

Meredith: Right, I want him to be the one, but I would know if he was the one, right? You knew, right?

Addison: You don't...I didn't. I didn't know. Just Derek's the kinda guy I just knew wouldn't hurt me. Not on purpose anyway. Not the way I hurt him.

Meredith: He hurt me, when he chose you.

Addison: I should have let him go. [Addison sighs] I should have stepped aside, been a better person. I should've a lot of things.

Meredith: Me too, a lot of things.

Addison: I don't hate you.

Meredith: How come we never talked like this before?

Addison: The only reason I am talking like this now is becuase I know that you won't remember a single word of this once the drugs wear off.

Derek: Were you just talking to Meredith?

Addison: Yeah.

Derek: What?

Addison: (pauses) Don't hurt her again.

Derek: Can I ask you a personal question? Why did you leave Meredith's mother?

Chief Webber: I could have left Adele. I could have gone away with Ellis. But I would have had so much baggage, so much guilt. Ellis couldn't see it but I wasn't-- I would have never made her happy. Not like she deserved to be happy. I was a better man for walking away. I loved her enough to walk away.

Meredith: [on morphine] (To George) When I'm on the table, keep me draped. Too many people have seen me naked already. I'd like to keep whatever dignity I have left.

[Sees Mark]

Meredith: It's McSteamy. McSteamy! Yoo hoo!

Mark: McSteamy? That's what your calling me now?

Meredith: Yes, but I don't think you are supposed to know

Mark: How's my favorite dirty mistress??

Meredith: Haven't you heard? Now I'm an adulterous whore!

Derek: You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy. Somebody who doesn't complicate your life. Somebody who wont hurt you. He's the better guy. [pauses and just stares at Meredith] Finn's the better guy.

Meredith: Derek?

Derek: I'm walking away.

Finn: So its Derek?

Meredith: I'm sorry.

Finn: Can I ask why?

Meredith: You are a great guy. You're a wonderful guy. And you may even be the better guy, but -

Finn: He's the one.

Meredith: And I wish he wasn't.

Finn: He's gonna hurt you again. And when he does I won't be here. Take care of yourself, Meredith.

Callie: It’s always Meredith and Izzie. It’s never me. Who am I to you George? Am I your girlfriend? Am I somebody to mess around with? Do you even know? Well, guess what. Now you don’t have to bother figuring it out.

Addison: Karev! As of now you are officially off my service, but for what it's worth, I think you are going to miss me.

Bailey: You know as well as I do it's not about what you look like, or your job, or how successful you are. It's about having people in your life that you love and who love you...that's all that matters.

Mark: I guess there really is no starting over, is there?

Denny: Dad, mom...It's me. I'm calling from Seattle Grace Hospital where the beautiful, talented and incredibly stubborn Dr. Isobel Stevens has, she's just given me a brand new heart and promised to marry me. I know we've had our differences and I'm sorry we've been out of touch. Believe it or not, I was trying to make everything better. I know you're angry and I hope you'll forgive me. It turns out, sometimes you have to do the wrong thing. Sometimes you have to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right. Mistakes are painful, but they're the only way to find out who you really are. I know who I am now. I know what I want. I've got the love of my life, a new heart and I want you guys to get on the next plane out here and meet my girl. Everything's gonna be different now, I promise. From here on out, Nothings ever going to be the same. I love you, bye.

 Oh, the Guilt [3.5]

Meredith (voice over): First, do no harm. As doctors, we pledge to live by this oath. But harm happens and then guilt happens. And there is no oath for how to deal with that. Guilt never goes anywhere on its own, it brings its friends - doubt and insecurity.

Burke: [to Izzie] You have two good hands and you aren't using them. Feel guilty about that.

Divorce counselor: Derek says that neither of you brought any assets into the marriage.

Addison: Well I had my trust fund, and a sparkling personality uh and a futon couch.

Derek: Yes Addison had a very ugly, very heavy futon couch.

Addison: Whatever happened to that couch?

Derek: We gave it to Mark. She can have him.

Addison: I don't want him.

Derek: Okay, well that's settled. What else?

Derek: The divorce is my fault, let me take responsibility.

Izzie: Morning.

George: I thought we were all done with the whole muffin thing.

Izzie: This isn't muffins. This is breakfast.

Meredith: Are you okay?

Izzie: Course I'm okay. I'm a millionaire.

George: Is that? That is 8 million. Eight million dollars does not like to have juice spilled on.

Izzie: Mere is the one with problems.

Meredith: What is wrong with me?

Izzie: Well, you haven't told McDreamy that you dumped McVet.

Cristina: Oh, you hadn't done that yet?

Alex: Dude, tell him already.

George: She's scared.

Meredith: I am not scared. Derek walked away. He walked away. And maybe that's a good thing. Maybe he's happier. Maybe he's moved on. He's got Addison here. He's got Mark here. He's got a lot to deal with. And I'm not gonna make him feel guilty. I mean, I am being an adult here and I'm not going to drag him into our whole [realizes everyone is staring at her rambling and pauses] Izzie is the one with the big check!

Izzie: I'm fine.

Mark: [when Callie's phone rings] Is that your boyfriend again?

Callie: I do not have a boyfriend.

Mark: Then why the guilty face?

Callie: You were sexier when you weren't talking.

Alex: Wasn't patient 34986 Denny?

Christina: Eight million dollars could get us on a plane far far away from here.

Derek: Hey, you know what I like? I like that we're civilized. We're these adult grown up people who can be divorced and friendly. We deserve a medal.

Addison: It wasn't a one night stand.

Derek: What?

Addison: Mark and I, it wasn't a one night stand. I was in love with him. Or at least I thought I was. After you left, we lived together for two months. I wanted to believe that we could make it work , that I hadn't thrown my marriage away, that I hadn't thrown my life away on a fling. But he's Mark and well, I caught him with someone else and then Richard called. We both had relationships with other people. We're both equally liable for everything, so please take the brownstone.

Derek: All I want is Seattle. I want Seattle and want never to see you again.

Meredith: You're here, you're everywhere, and I can't not tell you. You know, I've been not telling you all day because I thought it was kind and I thought I was giving you space. But I can't not tell you because you're here and you're you and I broke up with Finn.

Derek: Okay.

Meredith: Okay, then. Okay. I told you.

Mark: She told you. I've known you my whole life, I grew up with you so I know what you're thinking. That there is a year of your life wasted. Trying to make it work with Addison and you could have been with Meredith. That you could be happy right now. That all this, everything. That you and Meredith could have had a real chance. Still, I thought you should know the truth. Thought I owed you that, as a friend.

Derek: You're not my friend.

Meredith: [to nurse] Hi I was paged by Dr. Montgomery-Shepard.

Addison: Dr. Grey, welcome back.

Meredith: Thank you

Addison: And...uhm... its just Montgomery now.

Meredith: What?

Addison: My name, the divorce was finalized this morning, so Montgomery.

Meredith: Oh!

Addison: To add to our fun we have been asked to consult on a case where a woman has a foreign object inside of her.

Meredith: It appears that her husbaand is the foreign object.

Both: Ex-husband!

Callie: I slept with another guy, do I tell George?

Meredith: I broke up with Finn, do I tell Derek? (pause) I can't tell Derek.

Callie: I have to tell George.

George: I got fried chicken...extra crispy.

Izzie: Hey, you're Addison Forbes Montgomery Shepard right? That's a lot of names, a lot of rich sounding names. You're rich, right? That's rude. That's a rude question. It's just that I'm rich now too.

George: You're not rich until you deposit that check.

Izzie: Do you ever feel guilty?

Addison: I'm sorry?

Izzie: Being rich. 'Cause I have all this money now and I don't really feel like I did anything to deserve it. And I can't really talk to my friends about it because [whispers] they're all so poor.

George: Standing right here, Izzie.

Addison: Deposit the check, Stevens. Just start there okay? And um, the guilt will wear itself out.

Addison: Well it seems that your IUD has dislodged from your uterus, hooked onto your husband's piercing and is embedded in your vaginal wall.

Jennifer: Did she say piercing?

Meredith: Daughter.

Addison: Perfect.

Alex: I'd buy the Bahamas. Or at least a Bahama. An island. You know, for 8 million dollars, you could buy an island.

Mark: At least now you don't have to feel guilty anymore

Addison: Shut up.

Meredith (voice over): We are left with a choice. Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on.

 Let The Angels Commit [3.6]

Meredith: To make it - really make it - as a surgeon - it takes major commitment. We have to be willing to pick up that scalpel and make a cut that may or may not do more damage than good. It's all about being committed, because if we're not? We have no business picking up that scalpel in the first place.

George: Okay, I'll be Cristina for you, if you'll be Izzie for me.

Meredith: Deal.

[George stops the elevator]

Meredith: Derek had a woman in his trailer last night. She was ugly, very ugly, except she was tall and beautiful. And he was naked.

George: Oh. Uh, McDreamy was doing the McNasty with McHottie? That McBastard. Uh, how was that?

Meredith: That was good.

George: Cristina enough? [Meredith nods] Really?

Meredith: Yeah.

George: Yeah?

Meredith: Yeah.

George: Excellent.

Meredith: Chanelling Izzie. Go.

George: Okay, uh, Callie... she won't forgive me. Uh, she won't talk to me. She dumped me. Which is uh, I don't care about, you know, at all...

Meredith: Good because you deserve better. You do. You are George. I mean seriously. Seriously. Seriously. Was that Izzie optimistic?

George: [a little stunned] Yes, it's very Izzie. [both of them sigh]

Meredith: What the hell has happened to us?

George: We are now the people that the people we want to be with avoid.

Meredith: We have careers to think about. We don't need attention from men with perfect hair.

George: You know, we should make a pact. There's no more dating.

Meredith: [nodding] No more Derek. No more Callie.

George: Just a hundred percent focused on our work.

Meredith: They're dead to us.

George: They're freakin' corpses to us. [knocks fists with Meredith]

Meredith: I've been trying to talk to you all week.

Cristina: [cuts in curtly] Everything is not about you, Meredith.

George: Burke's back and suddenly Cristina's running his board? Who does she think she is? Bailey?

Meredith: She's helping him.

Alex: Bull. She's taking advantage. She gets out of rounds. She scrubs in on every surgery Burke does. She's ordering around 3rd year residents.

Meredith: You guys are overreacting.

Cristina: [at the OR board] I'm so sorry. It's completely illegible. I'm gonna like- why don't you just write it properly? Can you please give me a minute?

George: She's writing on the OR board.

Alex: Maybe I should sleep with Burke.

Nancy: Oops, I take it that was the slutty intern you cheated on Addison with?

Derek: She's not slutty. What are you dong here?

Nancy: You bailed on Thanksgiving and Christmas and you live in a trailer and you're getting a divorce and then there's the slutty intern.

Derek: I really don't like you.

Nancy: You love me.

George: Noelle was born with two uteruses. Uteri.

Addison: Uteruses.

George: Uteruses. [to Noelle, excitedly] That's very rare.

Derek: Dr. Stevens, [sees Meredith] welcome-

Izzie: Hey Dr. Shepherd.

Derek: back.

Izzie: Okay.

Derek: Uh, Meredith, Meredith-

Izzie: Sorry, it's not like I can leave. I gotta stay by my boss' side.

Nancy: Okay, the trailer sucks but in the light of day, the land's nice. Seattle's pretty in the daylight. Plus you have your thing for ferries, so-

Derek and Meredith: Ferryboats.

Nancy: Right. Whatever.

Derek: Dr. Stevens, uh Meredith, this is my sister, Nancy.

Nancy: Hi.

Meredith: Sister.

Derek: Yeah.

Meredith: Right. [laughs] You're one of Derek's sisters. [laughs again]

Nancy: I knew you didn't think I was the wife seeing as you already ran her off.

[Meredith, stunned, gives a fake smile]

Derek: Nancy is visiting from Connecticut and she's on her way home now. Straight back home.

Meredith: [forced] Well, it was nice to meet you.

Nancy: Okay.

[Meredith and Izzie force smiles and leave]

Izzie: McDreamy's sister is McBitchy. [laughs]

Derek: You sound more and more like Mom every day.

Nancy: Take it back!

Mark: Nancy-pants?

Nancy: Hey loser. [they hug]

Mark: I wish Derek had told me you were coming to visit.

Nancy: Oh, like he tells you anything these days.

Mark: Yeah well, I'm working on that.

Nancy: What are you doing here, Mark? Are you trying to torture him?

Mark: He's my family, Nancy. Plus I needed a change of pace. [Nancy gives him an unconvinced look] Plus I slept with my tennis partner's wife and he went out and bought a gun.

Nancy: There it is.

[Addison approaches them]

Addison: Oh my god! Nancy! [they hug]

Addison: Let me guess. Did Mom send you out?

Nancy: We hear Derek's trying to ban you from Seattle.

Addison: Did he also tell you he's living in a trailer?

Nancy: [laughs] Yes. [sees Derek in the distance and calls him over] Derek.

[Derek turns around and leaves]

Nancy: I want to see the two uteruses! [chases after Derek]

Mark: I miss her.

Addison: Yeah, me too.

Derek: Four sisters - four sisters! Not one brother; and you wonder why I don't call more.

Addison: I just accidently broke the news of my patient's infidelity to her fiancé.

Bailey: Yet no one is questioning your competence as a surgeon.

Addison: No. What?

[Chief approaches them from behind]

Chief: I need a button. Down to my last clean shirt and I'm missing a button.

[Addison and Bailey turn around and stare at the Chief]

Chief: Adele always had all my buttons.

Addison: Have you called her?

Chief: Adele? Oh no. I wouldn't want to bother her with something as trivial as a button. [gesturing to his shirt] I don't suppose either of you would wanna-

Addison: I'm sorry. I have two uteruses that I have to attend to. [leaves]

Bailey: I have many skills. Many skills. Surgical skills. Your button ruptures its esophagus, I'm your woman. Otherwise... [leaves]

[Chief pulls his coat closed]

George: I know you're not talking to me anymore and that's okay, but there's something that I want to explain. All you have to do is listen. [Callie tries to leave but is stopped by George]

George: You and me. We're like ham and eggs. I was the chicken. And I just want you to know that I was the chicken. You put yourself out there and you were committed. And I just put the eggs on the plate. Not the ham because you're the pig. I was not involved but now, I'm committed.

Callie: [offended] Did you just call me a pig?

George: No, it's a metaphor.

Callie: Calling me a pig?

George: Point is you're not the pig anymore. What I'm trying to say is I'm the pig, now I am the pig. [Callie leaves]

George: [meekly] I am the pig.

Nancy: So, tell me about the slutty girl. Fine, the slutty intern.

Derek: It was the 'slutty' part I had a problem with.

Chief: [trying to sew on his button] You're blocking my light.

Derek: Think of it as a basic corner stich.

Chief: I can figure out how to sew on my own buttons, thank you. I am a surgeon. Oh for God's sakes! You sew this on for me, and I get rid of Addison and Sloan.

Derek: Really?

Chief: No.

Derek: OK, I'll do it anyway.

Mark: So we're clear: You knew when you stepped into that surgery you're forfeiting your future in plastics, right?

Alex: But, Dr.-

Mark: Give me my phone back.

Bailey: Dr. Burke. Uh, could we have a moment alone? [Cristina walks away] I just, I didn't realize you were one of them: one of the doctors around with doubts about me or my abilities.

Burke: Miranda, I'm not.

Bailey: My name was erased from the board - I have to assume that was you.

Burke: Dr. Bailey-

Bailey: I just- I just.. I need to know why. I need to know why you didn't want me in on your surgery.

Burke: I just-- I'm afraid I couldn't use you.

Nancy: Oh, you should've seen that. Two uteruses, so unbelievably cool. And a cute baby to boot.

Derek: I'm glad you're enjoying your trip.

Callie: I'm out of my element here, I break bones for a living, I used to live in the basement, most days I wear last night's eyeliner to work, and I don't give a crap about what other people think of me. Because I am a happily independent and successful woman and I like it that way, only when you say stuff like this, it just makes things too hard so please, don't chase me anymore, unless you're ready to catch me.

Meredith(voice over): There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make. True commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully.

 Where the Boys Are [3.7]

Meredith (voiceover): As surgeons, we are trained to look for disease. Sometimes the problem is easily detected, most of the time we need to go step by step. First, probing the surface looking for any sign of trouble. Most of the time, we can't tell what's wrong with somebody by just looking at them. After all, they can look perfectly fine on the outside, while their insides tell a whole other story.

Cristina: You're going camping?

Burke: Uh, with Shepherd, yes.

Cristina: With the sleeping on the ground and everyone peeing behind the same bush?

Burke: Fresh Air!

Derek: Mountain Men in the wild, men being men!

Izzie: You've sunscreen and insect repellant? And oh, you're gonna need a shovel to bury your poop.

George: Izzie, I'm not five. Zip me? [Izzie zips up his jacket] And if Callie calls, would you tell her- [realizes Burke, Derek and the Chief looking on] Tell her I'm a mountain man. I'm a man of mountain.

Meredith: Derek's camping. Taking time. Getting space.

Cristina: Prestons do not go into the woods. A guy named Preston is gonna get his ass kicked by a squirrel.

Izzie: It's basically a slumber party, they do it outside, we do it inside. It's really the only difference.

Mark: Seen what's-his-face?

Izzie: Alex Karev.

Mark: Poor bastard seems to get a thrill out of tagging along after me. [laughs]

Meredith: He's camping.

Mark: In that case, how would you like to get a thrill out of tagging along after me?

Bailey: Yang, what would you recommend?

Cristina: Is this even surgical?

Bailey: Yang!

Cristina: Track and inventory all the pieces. Measure the progress and x-rays. Keep examining the stool.

Bailey: Very good. Enjoy.

Cristina: Dr. Bailey, isn't this more of a nurse's job?

Bailey: Are you too good to help that boy?

Cristina: Yes. [sees Bailey's face] No, definitely not.

Meredith: Okay, before you start, there are rules to this friendship thing or whatever.

Mark: The Dirty Mistresses Club has rules? Gosh, I thought a bunch of dirty mistresses would be a little less uptight about these uh, rules.

Meredith: Number one, no flirting. Second, no talking about Derek and C, no giving me the face.

Mark: The face?

Meredith: The McSteamy face. Doesn't work on me. I'm immune.

Mark: You know, if I'd gone off to the woods, I would've invited you to keep me warm.

Meredith: Breaking rules 1, 2 and 3.

George: Have you ever been camping before?

Alex: What?

George: T-shirt and sneakers? Ha, you'll freeze your ass off.

Alex: So? I'm wearing a jacket.

George: Just do me a favour. Don't come crawling to me in the middle of the night and huddle for warmth.

Chief: It's a good-looking tent, Joe. You and Walter got room for one more?

Joe: Walter and I sort of wanted to share this one. Just the two of us. But I guess if you really want to-

Alex: Chief, I don't think you really-

Chief: They've offered, Karev.

George: Chief, they want to be alone.

Chief: [realises that Joe and Walter are a couple] Oh! So you're um, that's wonderful. Man love. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. M-my cousin's gay and so I'm hip and Brokeback Mountain and all of that.

Burke: [steps in to save Chief] Uh, who's ready to go fishing?

Chief: Me!

Izzie: High tide! Sydney. She's my peer counsellor.

[Meredith and Cristina look puzzled]

Izzie: Heal with love Sydney.

Meredith and Cristina: Oh, [make disgusted faces] eew.

Izzie: [flushes toilet and examines stool] Couple of houses and the dog. That's nine pieces so far. I love the dog. I'm always the dog when I play Monopoly.

Callie: You okay?

Addison: Yeah, I'm fine, I'm okay, I'm good. [sobs]

Callie: Don't make me climb over this stall. I'll do it but I'll be really pissed because I don't know you that well.

Burke: How are you and uh, Dr. Torres doing these days?

George: Good. She doesn't know it yet, but we are. Excellent really. For a while uh, she wanted uh, a certain level of commitment, and I just didn't feel that way. I was ri- Now I am though.

Burke: So you're stepping up.

George: I am stepping up. You knew right? It was the right time with you and Christina?

Burke: Right.

[Burke's hand trembles; George sees]

George: Are you okay?

Burke: Absolutely.

George: Cuz uh-

Burke: We're here to fish remember?

George: Right.

Donna: So are you saying: if I become a woman, I'm going to die?

Addison: They are a happy couple. Look at them. They love each other. They should have everything. Happy people should have happy things happen to them.. I better go tell them.

Callie: Wait. The moment you tell them, they won't be happy anymore.. Give them a few more minutes. Let them be happy. A few more minutes.

Derek: This was my camping trip. I was going to come alone.

Burke: Then why did you invite me?

Derek: Because. It's a guy trip. You know, mountain men.

Burke: You don't have any friends, do you?

Derek: Of course I have friends.

Burke: Guy friends?

Derek: Yes! [pause] I just need peace.. space. I have a right to space. And you go and invite half the hospital.

Burke: That's because I have guy friends.

George: Hey, have you noticed anything going on with Burke?

Alex: No.

George: Cause before I thought I saw - what are you doing? You don't use bait when you're casting. It's gonna fall off before it hits the water. [picks up fishing box] Here -- what are you?.. here, here, here..

Alex: She's sleeping with Sloan, dude.

George: What?

Alex: Callie. She's sleeping with Sloan.

George: No she's not.

Alex: Yes. Torres is doing Sloan.

George: [drops fishing case loudly] You better take that back.

Chief: Joe and Walter got tired of not catching any fish. They went for a hike. What do you make of that?

Burke: Joe and Walter?

Chief: Oh! No, no, no. Joe and Walter are great. I mean that we've not caught any fish.

Derek: Just one: fish generally don't like to go where there's a lot of noise.

George and Alex: A slap fight?!

Meredith: So, what happens with Donna now?

Mark: She goes back to being an unhappy man who's stuck with a penis. There are millions of us out there.

Meredith: You're unhappy with you penis.

Mark: I could be a lot less unhappy.

Daniel/Donna's wife: Damnit, Daniel! Wake up!

Donna: My name is Donna.

Addison: Ted, Jamie.. I need to talk to you. About the baby.

Ted: Dr. Montgomery.

Jamie: You have to say it. I won't believe it, unless you say it. You have to say it.

Eric: Man, I thought my brother and I had problems. But you two are morons.

Cristina: Okay, well, swallowing Monopoly pieces wasn't exactly a genius move. You could've really hurt yourself.

Eric: Well, I didn't did I? Now my mom's gonna make my brother let me play Monopoly all I want.

Cristina: And that makes you smart?

Eric: You're fishing through my poop. How smart does that make you?

Alex: I just came out here to have some fun. Then the guy gets all over me about what I'm wearing. Just rubs me the wrong way.

Chief: You're on a camping trip. You're supposed to be enjoying the great outdoors.

Alex: [sighs] You know I grew up in a bar? Literally in a bar. The guy was always doing one or two things in there. Playing music or drinking. Dude never even took me to the park. I just figured this was my chance to get out with the guys but the one time I try-

Chief: You wanted to be a different person.

Meredith::You came back

Vicky (Donna's Wife): I was heading home.…I was on my way to the airport - You know you asked before why I came back the first time. You know I tried not to - I went on dates, I had a lot of great first dates with guys who were planning on staying guys and you know you have a great date and you wanna go and tell your best friend about it. Well my best friend is Daniel. Donna. And then a few bad dates, she's my best friend. She knows me, she loves me. She's my husband. The end of the day, it's Donna - even when she hurts me and even when I hate her.

Meredith: She's who you wanna talk to.

Derek: [sighs] Hi, I'm Derek Shepherd

Meredith: [laughs] What are you doing?

Derek: We met at this bar, you remember? We met and we, well you said I'm just a girl. I said I'm just a guy, and we started this thing. We started this thing. You didn't know anything about me. The good, the bad, wife. You didn't even know my name. You didn't know me. I want you to know me. I want to start over from the beginning. So, hi. Derek Shepherd.

Meredith: You walked away, and now it's too late. There's too much water under the thing or whatever-

Derek: [interupting] Meredith. Please.

Meredith: Hi, I'm Meredith Grey.

Derek: Very nice to meet you, Meredith.

Meredith: It's nice to meet you.

Meredith (voiceover): Not all wounds are superficial. Most wounds run deeper than you can imagine. You can't see them with the naked eye. And then there are the wounds that take us by surprise. The trick with any kind of wound or disease is to dig down and find the real source of the pain - and once you've found it, try like hell to heal that sucker.

 Staring at the Sun [3.8]

Meredith: Many people don't know that the human eye has a blind spot in its field of vision. There is a part of the world that we are literally blind to. The problem is, sometimes our blind spots shield us from things that really shouldn't be ignored. Sometimes our blind spots keep our lives bright and shiny.

Meredith: What did I say?

Derek: Seriously.

Meredith: Seriously.

Derek: Seriously.

Meredith: Seriously, we're taking it slow!

Derel: Mmm...we can take it slow. We can take it incredibly slow.

Meredith: We're taking it slower than that! [Derek giggles] We're starting fresh!

Derek: And starting fresh means no sex, because?

Meredith: Because we started with sex last time, and that didn't go so well. Plus the waiting is fun, and we need fun. From now on I want to be bright and shiny.

Derek: Mmm... bright and shiny, huh? [they laugh]

Meredith: Mom! [sits down] The nurses tell me you haven't been eating.

Ellis: No time, I've been in the OR all morning, and I've got back-to-back surgeries the rest of the day. so--

Meredith: Look, I'm sorry that I haven't been visiting, It's just that I've been--

Ellis: I don't have tome to coddle you right now. I'm trying to save lives here. Do you understand? Do you?

Richard: Dr Grey--

Meredith: Chief!

Ellis: [jumps up to see him] Richard! [hugs him; he hands her a box of fudge] For me? [Ellis goes and sits back down]

Richard: The nurse says she hasn't been eating.

Ellis: [eating the fudge] Mmm! You wonderful man!

Richard: I'm interrupting! I'll go--

Meredith: No! Chief, You stay and I'll go.

Meredith: Today is the day people, today is the day when dark and twisty Meredith disappears forever, and Bright and Shiny Meredith takes her place! You're probably not gonna want to be friends with me anymore, because the sheer intensity of my happiness will make your teeth hurt, but that's OK, because life is good, life is good! [looks around, sees concerned, distracted faces] What's going on?

Izzie: George's dad got admitted last night.

Meredith: Oh my god! Is he OK?

George: Yeah, yeah! He's fine!

Izzie: He passed out, hit the floor, and fractured his clavical.

George: His clavical's fine. Callie said he's fine.

Meredith: Are those his AM labs?

Alex: Complaining of severe abdominal pain.

Cristina: He doesn't have peritoneal signs, that's good.

Bailey: Has anybody seen-- [sees George with his father's chart]

George: [hands the chart to Bailey] Just looking at it.

Bailey: Don't you think that me reading it is more important than you reading it.

George: Sure, sure. It's gonna be fine.

Bailey: You're on scut today, you'll be distracted.

George: No I won't--

Bailey: Family members don't treat family members, scut!

Cristina: I'm scrubbing in on a surgery with Dr. Burke this Morning.

Bailey: Of course you are. [Sighs] Karev, Sloan. Grey, pit. Stevens, shadow Karev. And let me remind you again of the rules of your probation.

Alex: I think she knows the rules, Dr. Bailey.

Bailey: No touching patients, no talking to patients, no rolling your eyes at patients, [Izzie rolls her eyes] or your superiors.

Derek: [walks down the hallway into a room with Addison, cheerful, whistling] Hey! Good morning Addison!

Addison: What's that supposed to mean?

Derek: It's a greeting. Used in civilized cultures by their civilized inhabitants. [grins]

Addison: You're smiling.

Derek: Yeah, it's called happiness. I understand why you wouldn't recognize it.

Addison: Woah, woah, woah, wait, wait wait. We're, uh, being mature about this.

Derek: Yes, we are going to peacefully coexist in this hospital. Unless you've reconsidered moving back to New York. [Addison half-laughs and rolls her eyes] OK then, we will peacefully coexist.

Addison: Interesting.

Derek: Yes, we're adults, we're educated. I think we're capable of many, many things. C'mon, let's shake on it. [He takes her hand and notices that she's still wearing her wedding rings]

Addison: So, I'm still wearing your rings. I think they're stuck.

Derek: Have you tried soap, I hear it's good and slippery. [He laughs]

Addison: You are a very strange person, Derek.

Derek: I'm just bright and shiny, Addison. Bright and shiny!

Callie: And so then I just, I just popped his shoulder right back in! He didn't even flinch! Your brother is hard core. [O'Malley brothers laugh and scoff as George walks in]

George: Callie? [Bailey walks in]

Bailey: Looks like you've got a full house, Mr. O'Malley.

Mr. O'Malley: Just waiting on the wife! She's in DC, chaperoning a field trip.

Callie: His clavical is still hurting, so I put him on morphine, every 4 hours.

Bailey: We have scheduled your endoscopy for this afternoon.

Ronnie: An endo what?

George: Scope, it's like a camera.

Ronnie: That sounds dangerous, is that dangerous?

George: No, it's not dangerous.

Ronnie: Look, I didn't ask you, I asked the doctor.

Jerry: Yeah, let the doctors speak, Georgey.

George: White coat, let's look at the white coat!

Jerry: What about an X-Ray? Because I had one of those once and I feel like--

George: Shut up! Both of you, just shut up!

Bailey: O'Malley!

George, Ronnie, Jerry, and Mr. O'Malley: What? [Bailey indicates that she meant George. Ronnie, Jerry, and Mr. O'Malley laugh]

Jerry: You didn't say doctor!

Mark: Ah, excellent. My invaluble intern. Is it "bring a hot blonde to work" day? No one told me.

Izzie: [laughs and feigns sneeze] Sexual harrassment.

Alex: Dr. Stevens is shadowing me today, so--

Izzie: Which one of these cases do you need us on?

Mark: It's a really tragic one. I found out just this morning that I have over two weeks worth of dry cleaning that needs to be picked up. Stat.

Alex: Cool, that's it?

Mark: See, we're like a well oiled machine, you and me. I also need you two to get me a sandwich from that pathetic excuse for a deli, you know the one I like, Karev. Oh, and go easy on the mayo this time. I think you're trying to kill me. [Winks at Izzie who shoots Alex a questioning glare]

Bailey: [Derek, Meredith, and Bailey all rush out to the pit] What do we have?

Paramedic: Mia Hansen, 5 year old female, crush injury to the abdomen, blunt trauma to the head, BP 90 over 60, pulse 110.

Derek: How was she injured?

Paramedic: Backed over by her mom's SUV.

Anna: She's um...her blood type is A negative and she's allergic to penicillin! I'm so sorry, Mia!

Meredith: Has she had anything to eat today?

Anna: Uh, a bowl of cereal this morning around 6:30.

Meredith: Ok, Mrs. Hansen, we're going to take care of your daughter. [Another woman walks up]

Mrs. Hansen: I'm Mrs. Hansen, Mia is my child, Anna is just the nanny who ran over my daughter!

George: I can't believe you just decanulated a heart all by yourself.

Cristina: I didn't decanulate the heart by myself. I assisted Dr. Burke who decanulated the heart.

George: Why are you being modest? Modest looks weird on you.

Cristina: It's no big deal, George. [Burke walks in]

Burke: How's your father O'Malley, anything new?

George: He needs an endoscopy, and Bailey won't let me be the intern on his case. But she said I could pick someone else, and I was wondering if Cristina could be the intern on his case.

Cristina: Why?

Burke: That shouldn't be a problem.

Cristina: Uh, uh, yes it is! We have corartendoctonectomy scheduled at noon.

Burke: I'll push it, O'Malley's father deserves the best!

George: Thank you, Dr. Burke.

Burke: Not a problem, O'Malley.

Cristina: Your dad better get something interesting wrong with him real fast.

George: You are sick. You are a sick, horrible person!

Izzie: Tell me again why you put up with this crap?

Alex: Because one of these days he's gonna crack and let me in on a case.

izzie: You sure you wanna do plastics that badly?

Mark: There you are! What, did you go all the way to New York for my pastrami?

Alex: Extra spicy, extra lettuce, light on the mayo.

Addison: Mark, what are you doing?

Mark: Lunch. Want my pickle?

Addison: Seattle Grace is a teaching hospital, part of your job is to teach, your interns aren't your slaves.

Mark: Fine, no pickle for you! [Mark, Alex, and Izzie walk away]

Addison: [to the Chief] Did you see that?

Richard: Hmm?

Addison: Sloan, he's using his interns to pick up his dry cleaning, and his lunch!

Richard: I've got to do an endoscopy. [He leaves]

Addison: What the hell is going on with the men in this hospital?

Mark: How you doing Mr. Jeffries?

Frank: Oh, Frank's doin' OK. He'd be doin' a lot better if the twins were even.

Alex: Uh...twins?

Frank: Frank's new pecs.

Izzie: Who is Frank?

Frank: You're lookin' at him! [Winks at izzie]

Mark: Frank, these are interns. I'm supposed to be teaching them. Apparently, this is a teaching hospital. Karev.

Alex: Frank Jefferies is post op day 3 for pectoral enhancement surgery. There was a slight complication when a saroma formed.

Mark: [yawning] And what is a saroma?

Izzie: Build up of blood and fluid under the skin.

Mark: And that concludes today's teaching. A tube was inserted in Mr. Jeffries' chest to drain the excess fluid. I want you to monitor him, check the tube for fluid output, change the dressing, and Dr. Stevens, I guess you can...watch!

Alex: Actually Dr. Stevens is an excellent doctor.

Mark: Yeah! That's what I hear.

George: You decanulated a heart this morning.

Cristina: Yeah, I didn't decanu--

George: Yes! You did. And when Burke and I were fishing, I noticed something weird with his hand. Like a spasm--

Cristina: I'm sorry! Why are you even saying that, that is not funny!

George: I didn't say it was funny, I said it was weird. And him letting you decanulate a heart, that's weird!--

Cristina: Um, you should probably go sit with your father, cause if you want something to worry about, you should worry about him.

George: My father is fine, He's good. I have a good-- don't...this is Burke! Do you think that-- [Cristina walks away]

Jerry: Ok, so you pick a car!

Callie: Okay, um.... Mm! 1968 Mustang GT 390 fastback!

Ronnie: That's interesting...

Jerry: Wow, that is hot! That is very hot! Car, I mean!

Callie: Mmmmhmmm....

Ronnie: Hey Georgey! How's Dad?

George: Fine, they're not done yet, but I'm sure he's fine. Can I talk to you Dr. Torres?

Callie: Sure.

Jerry: Hey, wait a minute!

George: What are you doing?

Callie: I'm talking to your brothers!

George: You don't have to do that!

Callie: It's OK, I don't mind. I'm pretty sure Ronnie and Jerry both have a thing for me. I was gonna go with Jerry until he went all "1957 Bel Aire", I was like "Really?"

George: Thank you for trying to help out my family, but it's really not necessary.

Callie: George, I'm kidding about your brothers, c'mon!

George: Callie! I'm serious! I can handle my family on my own. You broke up with me, remember?

Bailey: We're gonna have to do a partial oophorectomy.

Meredith: Do you think we can save Mia's kidneys?

Bailey: Well if we can control the bleeders, her cardizers are go. This poor baby, It's not gonna be an easy recovery.

Meredith: Well, with parents like that she didn't have it easy to begin with.

Bailey: People do the best they can, Dr. Grey.

Meredith: They don't know their kid's blood type. They don't know her favorite song. People want high power carreers, I get that. But they should think twice before having kids. [Bailey shoots her an offended glare] Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that--

Bailey: What, that I should be home with my baby, instead of here with this girl and a surgical intern who can't cauterize the bleeders?

Meredith: Dr. Bailey, I--

Bailey: If I were you, Dr. Grey. I would keep my eye on the surgical area, and my mouth shut.

Addison: Hey!

Derek: Hey!

Addison: This civil and mature thing, how far does it go?

Derek: Mmmm... meaning what?

Addison: Meaning, is it pleasentries in the hallway, or do we actually interact?

Derek: Hmm...I don't know. That sounds drastic.

Addison: I'm worried about Richard, he seems down to me.

Derek: Well he's seperated from his wife, that doesn't usually make a person giddy. Except in my case.

Addison: [feigns a laugh] I think he could use somebody to talk to.

Derek: So... talk to him.

Addison: No, I think we both should, you know. So it's clear that he has people to turn to.

Derek: Because he's a little depressed.

Addison: Well, because I don't think he's spoken to Adele in weeks, and because he's always been there for us.

Derek: When you get divorced, doesn't that mean your wife is supposed to stop nagging you? [Addison sighs] I think if you took the rings off it would help.

Addison: Are you gonna come with me to see the chief or not?

Derek: Fine, yes, I'll go.

Addison: Thank you.

Derek: You're welcome.

Addison: And I will try the soap. For the rings, I mean.

Frank: Oh yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! Mmm! Look at you! Do they still look lopsided? I mean from the saroma?

Alex: No, It looks like most of the swelling has gone down.

Frank: Yeah? Oh yeah! Huh! Hey, uh, Dr. Stevens, would you take a look at the twins? Frank would like a womans perspective. [Izzie glances at Alex]

Alex: You're just looking.

Izzie: Uh....yeah. It looks pretty good to me. Very defined. And the redness should go away in a couple of days.

Frank: Good! Good...Frank got them for his girlfriend. He doesn't want ther to see them until they're perfect.

Alex: your girfriend asked you to get pec implants?

Frank: Oh no, no, no. Frank's girlfriend joined a gym and got a trainer named Lars. What kind of name is that... Lars.

Izzie: So you got fake pects because you're jealous of a guy with a fake name?

Frank: Well, uh, my last girlfriend, Veena, left me for a guy with hair, so I got plugs, too late. This time around Frank's not taking any chances. Frank sees the signs of discontent, Frank's fighting back. Oh yeah!

Izzie: I don't know. I just don't get the whole fake boob thing, no offense.

Frank: Oh, these are top of the line! I mean, they look real, they feel natural. Go ahead, feel 'em! [Alex indicates for Izzie to go ahead]

Izzie: [pokes Frank's fake boobs] Ooh. Very solid.

Frank: And real!

Izzie: I don't know about that.

Frank: Well compare them to his [points to Alex]

Alex: I am not involved with this.

Frank: C'mon!

Izzie: Don't be such a baby. [Alex groans, but reluctantly walks over to Izzie's side; Izzie places one hand on Frank's boob, the other on Alex', groping both in comparison. Mark walks in]

Mark: This, [they look up and see him] this is why I don't work with interns.

Bailey: Mrs. Hansen?

Mrs. Hansen: Is she alright?

Bailey: Yes, we were able to stop the bleeding. Dr. Shepherd has ordered an MRI for skull fracture, hopefully, she won't need any more surgery.

Mrs. Hansen: Oh, thank God.

Bailey: She's in recovery, Dr. Grey will take you up to her.

Mrs. Hansen: Thank you! [Bailey leaves] Uh, can we wait just a minute? My husband went downstairs to use a land line, his battery died.

Meredith: Sure.

Mrs. Hansen: So, Mia, she's OK?

Meredith: Oh, she is, yeah. She um...keeps asking, for, um, Anna.

Mrs. Hansen: We fired Anna.

Meredith: Oh. She just seems very attached to her.

Mrs. Hansen: That's my fault. According to my husband, because I'm a working mother...He's a working dad, but apparently that's not the issue. I love my job! I love Mia more. She's my baby, she's my...I love my daughter. And I love my job. I'm not good at the Mom stuff, but I'm good at my job.

Meredith: Why bother even having a kid if you're only going to see it on weekends and holidays? You might as well just get a cat.

George: I talked to Dr. Burke, I think he's fine.

Cristina: You did what?!

Meredith: What's wrong with Burke?

Cristina: Nothing's wrong with anybody.

George: You know he let her decanulate a heart this morning?

Meredith: You decanulated a heart this morning? By yourself? Bitch!

Cristina: No, not by myself.

George: Now she's lying about it.

Alex: Yang decanulated a heart. Why is Alex not suprised?

Izzie: Izzie isn't either. Last week, Izzie was digging through crap, this week she's fondling man boobs. No decanulating hearts for Izzie!

George: Why aren't you bragging about decanulating the heart?

Cristina: I didn't decanulate the heart.

Izzie: Izzie and Alex do not believe you.

Meredith: Okay, what are you two doing?

Izzie: [giggles]Izzie and Alex have a patient who speaks about himself in the third person.

Alex: They thought it was annoying at first, but now they kinda like it.

Meredith: Good! Is it gonna stop soon?

Cristina: What happened? This morning you were all bright and shiny, asking to be kicked in the face.

Meredith: I am. I'm bright. I'm shiny.

Cristina: Yeah.

Izzie: Izzie thinks that this whole "Bright and Shiny" thing is getting old.

Alex: Alex agrees.

Derek: We think you're depressed.

Chief: Both of you?

Derek and Addison: Yes

Chief: Well for the two of you to agree on something I must be damn near suicidal.

Addiosn: We agree on things.

Derek: We agree on this.

Addison: So, start talking.

Chief: Adele and I... she wants me to step down as chief. Retire.

Derek: You retire, that's crazy! What would you do?

Addison: Spend a little more time with his wife perhaps.

Derek: She's being unreasonable.

Addison: She needs to know that his marriage is a priority to him.

Derek: She's using his work as an excuse.

Addison: Well he is! Some men use work, some use other women--

Derek: Some use other men!

Chief: I've been visiting Ellis Grey. [Derek and Addison continue to fight in the background, they're not even listening to the chief] I work I visit Ellis, that's my day. I make time for Ellis, I don't make time for Adele. [Derek and Addison are still bickering, and haven't even acknowledged that the Chief spoke] STOP! Helping me! Look, I miss my wife. I want her back. I don't want my marriage to be over.

Addison: Richard, your marriage isn't over until you decide it is. Until you decide that the sacrifice just isn't worth it.

Ronnie: We've been waiting here forever, where's the doctor?

George: Dr. Webber will be in in a couple of minutes.

Jerry: They don't tell you anything, huh? Not until you're a real doctor! [Ronnie and Jerry snicker]

George: I am a real doctor. Ronnie! I'm just not Dad's doctor.

Mr. O'Malley: What is it Georgey?

George: Let's just wait for Dr. Webber to come.

Cristina: [whispering to George] No I think he's expecting you to tell him now.

George: He said he's coming.

Cristina: No he said he's coming later. You should...You should tell your Dad now.

Mr. O'Malley: What's with the whispering?

George: The biopsy results were abnormal.

Mr. O'Malley: Well, Is abnormal bad or just different? [long pause] Georgey?

Cristina: Sir, you have cancer in your esophogus which has spread to your stomach. And we need to operate to remove it. And you'll need to undergo chemotherapy and radiation. I'm sorry.

George: [Meredith sits down next to Izzie and George on the stairs] They're gonna try to operate soon. This week I think. It's stage three metastatic cancer, so, uh. And my brothers are... and uh... Callie slept with Sloan. I just can't... I can't deal with it, with any of it. I spent the entire day worrying about Burke, like there was something wrong with him. There's nothing wrong with Burke! I can't even look my dad in the face.

Izzie: Nobody gets a break with their own family.

Meredith: I certainly don't.

George: Yeah.

Meredith: Yeah.

Izzie: Callie slept with Sloan?

George: I don't get you people.

Meredith: Us, with the boobs? We make a lot of bad decisions.

Alex: Dude, I still can't believe you went through all of this for a chick.

Frank: What, you never did anything crazy for love?

Alex: Not like this.

Frank: You have a girlfriend?

Alex: No.

Frank: Dr. Stevens? Frank can sense the vibes.

Alex: I'm not talking about this with you.

Frank: What, she left you for another guy? [Alex glares at him] Ooh, Frank's hit a nerve.

Alex: It's more complicated than that.

Frank: Uncomplicate it, then, man! Grand gesture is what I'm talking about. Be like Frank, just figure out what she wants and make it happen. She'll forget all about the other guy. Trust Frank. Frank knows.

Derek: Hey, what do we got?

Meredith: Second MRI report shows bleeding in Mia's brain.

Derek: Ugh, dammit. I gotta go in. Try and relieve the pressure.

Meredith: Two surgeries in one day?

Derek: She's tough. I know we don't have any other options. Hmm...not so bright and shiny.

Mr. O'Malley: I thought the cancer was in my gut, what are we looking at my heart for?

Cristina: Your EKG showed some abnormalities, so we just wanna make sure your heart's healthy enough to suport you through the surgery.

Mr. O'Malley: Hmm...You're a smart girl.

Cristina: Yes.

Mr. O'Malley: George told me you were the best intern I could have on my case.

Cristina: He said that?

Mr. O'Malley: Yeah. He said you were the best intern in the hospital. Said you keep everyone on their toes, even him.

Echo Doctor: Dr. Yang? You should take a look at this.

George: You paged me? [Sees Burke in his Dad's room] What is Burke doing in there?

Cristina: I did a pre-op Echo. His aorta valve is leaking. He won't make it through the cancer surgery unless we replace it. [George looks nervous] It's just a valve replacement, George, it's gonna be fine.

George: Burke will do it. Burke will do it and you will clear his schedule, if someone is going to operate on my dad's heart, I want it to be Burke.

Cristina: Yeah.
