being is don't you Evil Spawn? Alex: I'm not evil. Unless evil turns you on. (Izzie gives him a look) Izzie: Did
you ever wake up in the morning and realize that nobody likes you, and... well, I don't know, care? Alex: Oh,
oh, I think somebody likes me. (Izzie rolls her eyes and sighs)
Derek: One night I parked my car, I unlock my front door, go inside my house, and something 's different.
Nothing's different, everything's the same, but yet, still, something's different. And I stand there for a while. And
then I know. See, there are moments for me, you know, usually when I'm in the OR, when I just know what's
gonna happen next. So I go upstairs, as I'm walking down the hall I try to prepare myself for what I'm going to
see when I walk into my bedroom. I step on a man's jacket that doesn't belong to me. And everything I know...
just shifts. Because the jacket that doesn't belong to me is a jacket that I recognize, what I know now is that
when I go into my bedroom, I'm not just going to see that my wife is cheating on me. I'm going to see that my
wife is cheating on me with Mark, who happened to be my best friend... I walked out, flew out to
Seattle. Meredith: And then you met me. Derek: And then I met you Meredith: Well, what was I to you? The
girl you screwed to get over being screwed? Derek: You were like coming up for fresh air. It's like I was
drowning and you saved me. It's all I know. Meredith: It's not enough.
Cristina: The clinic has a policy. They wouldn't let me confirm my appointment unless I designated an
emergency contact person. Someone to be there is case and....to know help me home after. Anyway I put your
name down, that's why I told you I'm pregnant. You're my person. Meredith: I am? Cristina: Yeah, you are.
Whatever.Meredith: Whatever. Cristina: He dumped me. (Meredith puts her arm around her)You realize this
constitutes hugging? Meredith: Shut up...I'm your person.
George: You know Joe? Bailey: Oh, yeah. I was the only female intern my year. I didn't know anybody and
nobody knew me except Joe. He knew me. George: Oh, so you and Joe? Bailey: All you people ever think
about is how to get into somebody's pants. You nasty. (she slaps him, and Izzie laughs) That's why you got
syphilis.
Alex: You could talk, you know if you need to. Meredith: I'm fine. Alex: You've said that word so many
times today, it doesn't even sound like a word anymore. I'm just saying you can talk to me cause, you know,
even if I repeat every word you say no one around here likes me - they'd just call me a liar and move
on. Meredith: Izzie likes you.(smiles) You're blushing. Alex: Shut up. For what it's worth, I don't know how
you're still on your feet. If I found out my mom might have cancer, I'd be under the bar right now. Meredith: You
want the ugly truth? Alex: What, you have an ugly truth? I never would have picked you to have an ugly
truth. Meredith: I'm more afraid she doesn't have cancer. Alex: You know, liver cancer's fast. Painful, but it's
fast and they give you morphine. They don't give you morphine for Alzheimer's. Meredith: No, they don't.
(pauses) What kind of person wishes their mother had cancer?
Meredith (closing voiceover): No one likes to lose control, but as a surgeon there's nothing worse. It's a sign of
weakness, of not being up to the task. And still there are times when it just gets away from you. When the
world stops spinning and you realize that your shiny little scalpel isn't gonna save you. No matter how hard you
fight it, you fall. And it's scary as hell. If there's an upside to free-falling, it's the chance you give your friends to
catch you.
Meredith (to Derek): I'm just exhausted. My mother is exhausting. What happened to Cristina. And you. Hating
you is the most exhausting. (kisses him) I don't wanna do it anymore.
Meredith (opening voiceover): The key to surviving a surgical internship is denial. We deny that we're tired, we
deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in
denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to
ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't
recognize the truth right in front of our faces.
Addison: Look, I don't want someone, who doesn't want me, Meredith, but if there is the slightest chance that
he does...I'm not leaving Seattle.
: The point is she should be on her way home, you're trying to drive me crazy aren't you? (Bailey stops the
elevator)
Derek (in a whiny voice): Hey, now don't do this...ugh...
Bailey: You think this has something to do with you? You think I'm even thinking about you and your romantic
problems? I'm thinking about a patient, very near and dear to my heart. And a consult with your wife, your ex,
mistress whatever it is that she becomes if that's what I have to do to save my patient then I'm damn well
gonna do it.
Derek: I understand that. I deserved that. It's just that--come on-Bailey: Look, you have put yourself between two very fine women and you're lookin' for an easy way out. And
you wanna use me, the hospital, somebody to make the decision for ya and it's not gonna happen! (she starts
the elevator)
Derek: Could I-- Could-- I just say a couple things?
Bailey: Just just--- (waves hand by his face)
orge: I don't know why I'm worried, Cristina says she's fine.
Izzie: Nobody goes through what she went through and is totally over it by now.
George: Cristina can.
Meredith: She's fine.
Izzie: Too fine, she's cold.
George: No she's hardcore. She's got ice in her veins. She does what she has to do to get through it.
Izzie: She lost a baby. She lost a fallopian tube and she's acting like she doesn't even care. She's all hello, I'm
totally fine person. I mean she's my friend too but she's acting like she has no emotions or warmth, like she's
missing a soul.
George: God she's gonna make a great surgeon.
Izzie: George!
George: It's true. You show no weakness, you make it to the top.
Meredith: Some people just keep their feelings to themselves
Meredith (closing voiceover): Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when
the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to
ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have
to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a
freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?
dith (panicked): What's going on?
Cristina (sobbing): I can't stop. I can't. I can't stop... (sobs)
Izzie: She can't stop crying.
Meredith: I can see that! What did you guys do to her?
Izzie: Nothing!
George: She's going to dehydrate. Cristina do you want some water? (Cristina shakes her head 'no', still
sobbing. Meredith moves to hug her)
George and Izzie: No! (they pull her back)
Izzie: I already tried that. It just made it worse.
Helen: I knew she'd break sooner or later. Just a matter of time.
Cristina: I will kill her!
Helen: But I am her mother.
Meredith (escorting Helen out of the room): We don't do well with mothers here. Why don't you leave and
come back later. (George tentatively hands Cristina a tissue, Meredith walks back in) Cristina...
Cristina (sobbing): Make, make it stop. Make it sto-opp. (George tries handing her another tissue) Somebody
sedate me
George: You're officially AWOL you know.
Cristina: I'm working. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the crazy woman on four.
George: You are the crazy woman on four.
Cristina: I made a break for freedom.
Meredith (closing voiceover): Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound
that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside.
Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way
below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it,
and life always makes more.
Cristina: Don't tell anyone I did this for you. You tell anyone I did this for you, I will sell your body parts for
cash! (Henry Lamont nods) Okay. So. There were these women. Nurses. Three nurses. And they were...
naughty. They were really really naughty. They were three naughty nurses. Saucy, even. Saucy and bad and
naughty. Three saucy bad naughty nurses. They were taking a shower. Together. Soaping each other up. And
then this doctor walks in and he sees these tree naughty bad nurses with these great big...
(scene cut)
Cristina: "Oh yes, I'm so very very naughty!" Bianca said as she dropped her stethoscope. "Me too!" said
Crystal as she snapped on her surgical glove, and then there was Marta. (Bailey walks past room and stares,
Cristina shrugs) Where was I?
Henry: Marta.
Cristina: Oh yes, Marta. She was the naughtiest nurse of all because she knew how...(power returns, TV
comes on
6- Train crash
Ill bring the right right leg the right
Cristina: Uh, Dr. Webber. Sir?
Richard: Notice anything else about that leg? Anything other than that very clean cut? Did you happen to
notice, for example, that it was shaved recently? And manicured? Take a look at my patient, Dr. Yang! Does he
look like a man who woke up and shaved one of his legs this morning?
Cristina: No. I'll go find the um right ... the right, right leg. The right, right ...
Meredith: Before you judge me. I know there was a train accident. People are very badly hurt. And that I'm a
vapid narcissist when you mix me with alcohol. (Izzie smiles) Incase you were wondering. I know that.
Izzie: For what it's worth, I take issue with her salmon colored scrubs. I mean what self respecting surgeon
wears salmon colored scrubs?
Meredith: This is what I'm saying.
George: Do you think he's really not coming?
Izzie: It is getting a little hard to watch.
Cristina: It was hard to watch an hour ago, now it's just pathetic.
Meredith: Who's pathetic?
Cristina: What?
Meredith: You, who pretend to be my friends, are calling me pathetic. Behind my back. In front of my
face! (George points to Cristina) Why don't you just dump the pig's blood on me now and get it over with. (to
herself) He's really not coming.
iley: Alex, cover the ER. You can do sutures while you get over your new found fear of scalpels.
Meredith: That was mean. Even for you.
Bailey: You are drunk. Go get yourself a banana bag IV, put it in your arm and then find me. Do not speak to
Debbie (from nurses station): A little bit of respect and you could have saved yourself a very long day Dr. Yang.
Bailey (smiles): Pissing of the nurses? ... Stupid.
Meredith (opening voiceover): Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we
grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for
what we really need.
Meredith (closing voiceover): At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about.
Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some
things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say because there's no other choice.
Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for
themselves.
(About Meredith)
Bailey: Turn around, walk away.
Derek: From what?
Bailey: From my intern.
Derek: But I wasn't-Bailey: Yes, you were. Look, look, look, you can't do this, you don't have the right. Not anymore.
Derek: I just wanna find out if she's okay.
Bailey: She's not. She's a human traffic accident and everybody is slowing down to look at the wreckage.
She's doing the best she can with what she has left. Look I know you can't see this because you're in it. But
you can't help her now, it'll only make it worse. Now walk away and leave her to mend
Alex: For a kiss to be really good you want it to mean something. You want it be with someone you can't get
out of your head so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot, so deep you never
wanna come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss, Nicole. Trust me you don't want to, 'cause when you find
the right person to first kiss it's everything.
Izzie: If there was a genetic test for testicular cancer you think men who tested positive would have this
surgery? No, because it's castration. What man would willingly get rid of the part of his anatomy that makes
him a man? This woman is having herself castrated. And we book an OR and act like it means nothing. It's not
nothing. God, how could you possibly act like it's no big deal? I mean what if it was me?
Alex: Izzie, you're freaking out you know that, right?
Izzie: If I was the one with the cancer gene. I mean what if I showed up tomorrow and my boobs were made of
plastic and my skin had aged 10 years and my sex drive had dried up. If it was me Alex, would you be so fine
with it then? (Alex is silent)Yeah, you'd be really hot to kiss me with tongue then, wouldn't you? (she leaves)
(Later)
Alex: Here's the thing - I like your rack.
Izzie: God, what is wrong with you? Why do you have to be so - what is wrong with you?
Alex: I like your rack and I'd want them around if I could have them, trust me I would, but it wouldn't be the end
of the world if you got rid of them... because really, I'd wantyou. (Izzie slaps him) Ow! What was that for? (she
kisses him)
Bailey: My heart rate is 110, I'm burning 3000 calories a day, my legs are swollen, I got indigestion and gas.
Did you know that carrying a boy in your uterus means that you burn 10% more calories than if you had a girl.
Guess what I'm carrying? I tried for 7 damn years and a month before my fellowship notifications the stick turns
blue. Men; from the very beginnin' they just suck the life right outta you. I'm not leaving. I'm pregnant.
Richard: Um... congratulations
(After a guy has a heart attack at the resturant Burke and Cristina were at)
Paramedic (to Burke): Who the hell are you?
Cristina: He's the cardiothoracic surgeon that's gonna be operating on him.
Burke: And she's with me
(Trying to find a dress to wear for her date with Burke)
Izzie: Uh....they're both really nice.
Cristina: I know I bought them. But which one's right?
Izzie: For what? You're gonna look hot in either one.
Cristina: Well, clearly. That's not the point.
Meredith: Wow, you look hot.
Cristina: Yeah, Burke and I are gonna talk about how hot I am over dinner. This date is such a mistake.
George: It's easy to get nervous on dates. It's especially hard if you're out of practice. You just gotta be mellow,
and relax-Cristina: Yeah, I know how to date, George. Im not you.
Alex: Well, I have a scheduled for the mastectomy. And I get to stay while plastics does a transflap
reconstruction.
Izzie: I couldn't do it.
Alex: Do what? Make yourself all hot and sexy for your boyfriend like Yang?
Cristina: Go wrestle something.
Izzie: I couldn't cut off my ovaries and breasts just because I might have cancer.
Cristina: Look at it like a hand. If someone told you'd die unless you chopped off your hand, you'd do it.
Izzie: Except when you chop off a hand you don't kill your sex drive and have silicon breasts. Get hot flashes
and lose your ability to bare children.
Meredith: If it were me I wouldn't even have the test, I mean what's the point? We're all gonna die anyway,
right? (they stare at her) It's the Hello Kitty band-aid, on my forehead. It's freakin' me out.
Alex: I say slice and dice 'em, whatever. They're body parts.
Izzie: Oh, so you'd cut off your penis?
Alex: Yeah, if it kept me from dying. Besides I've got plenty to spare. (walks away)
Cristina (after trying on a dress): I could do hot in my sleep. I look hot in my scrubs. I'm a hot person. He's
seen me naked a thousand times.
George: Bad, bad images in my head. (walks away)
Meredith: He's never seen you outside of the hospital.
Cristina (sarcastically): Thank you.

Bailey: Happy Thanksgiving

Cristina: This...is where I live. My mother decorated it. I don't do laundry, I buy new underwear. See, and uh,
under the table? Six months of magazines I know I'll never read, but I won't throw out. I don't wash dishes,
vacuum, or put the toilet paper on the holder. I hired a maid once, she ran away crying. Uh..the only things in
my fridge are water, vodka, and diet soda. And I don't care, but you do. Still think living together is a good
idea?

Meredith (pulls up a chair and sits next to him): I'm talking to you. In short mono-syllabic sentences laced with
disdain and contempt.
Alex: So according to girl rules, now you all hate me?
Meredith: I don't hate you. If my mother hadn't gotten Alzheimer's I'd probably be you.
Alex: Well, really?
Meredith: Really. Before she got sick, I mean, I finished college but I was partying way too much and staying
out way too late to keep a job. I was the one at family reunions everybody was embarrassed to talk about.
Alex: So, that's what you think of me?
Meredith: Are you okay?
Meredith (opening voiceover): Forty years ago, the Beatles asked the world a simple question: they wanted to
know where all the lonely people came from. My latest theory is that a great many of the lonely people come
from hospitals. More precisely, the surgical wing of hospitals. As surgeons, we ignore our own needs so we
can meet our patients' needs. We ignore our friends and families so we can save other people's friends and
families. Which means that, at the end of the day, all we really have is ourselves. And nothing in this world can
make you feel more alone than that.
Izzie (about Alex): I'm telling you, Meredith was all over him.
Cristina: Seriously, she was all over him? What, like mounting him, with all the babies watching? Seriously?
Izzie: Well, she would have been if I hadn't interrupted.
George: She was talking to him.
Izzie: You don't talk to bastards who cheat on their girlfriends, George. That's the rule.
George: You weren't officially his girlfriend.
Izzie: That's not the point.
George: It is kind of the point. You don't see me getting all emotional over people I'm not dating.
Izzie: Really?! You want to go there?! (ominous looks all around)
George: No.
Izzie: I'm having a moment here. Don't mess with me.
Cristina: You're not gonna have a nervous breakdown and kill yourself are you?
Izzie: No.
Cristina: So there's no chance you'll kill us? (Izzie storms off)
George: Oh, that was wrong on so many levels.
Cristina: And so good.
George: That was. That was good. (Cristina laughs

died after two weeks after you were born. Except some surgeon figured out a way to give you someone else's
heart which is, is so much cooler than Santa. ... So I'm just saying ... I think you should decide to live. ... Live
so you can become a doctor and you can find a way to do heart transplants without someone having to die. Or
live so you can grow up so you can have kids and you know what raise them not to believe in Santa. And that,
that would piss your mom off. (Justin smiles) Just decide to live because in your case dying really isn't the best
revenge.
Patricia: Chief, Adele just called.
Richard: Tell her I'm in sur-Patricia: She knows you're not in surgery and she said to tell you, quote, "We are going to our niece's school
pageant this morning. You have known about it for months. And after what you pulled on Thanksgiving... ", and
then she started using a great many words that I don't feel comfortable repeating.
Richard: Look, I have 7 surgeons on vacation...
Patricia (cutting in): And there was something about divorce
Addison: Christmas Derek. We love Christmas. At least we used to.
Derek: Yeah. ... Christmas makes you want to be with people you love. I'm not saying this to hurt you or
because I want to leave you, because I don't. Meredith wasn't a fling. She wasn't revenge. I fell in love with her.
That doesn't go away because I decided to stay with you

15 Nurse Strike
Joe: Hey! Hey! Hey! Beating each other up and theres not gonna be anybody left to set your broken
bones. (they continue to yell, ignoring him) Hey!
Sydney (stops doing the surgery, turns around and interrupts): Dr. Yang wanted to be sure that perky little
bimbo cheerleader wasnt in here trying to kill a patient. Am I right? Now with all do respect Dr. Burke I know
you dont know me very well but Im pretty good at what I do. And my patient is a 25 year old marathoner and I
told her husband Im going to try and save her leg. So my plan is to stand here for as many hours as it takes to
scrape away every last cell of necrotic flesh. Now when Im done, if its still spreading, then well take the leg.
And if we do then our eager young intern here can hold the saw. Now unlike Dr. Karev, kindness and
compassion arent very high on her list of priorities but a little bone-saw action well maybe that will earn me
some respect. (she turns back to the surgery) Am I right? Now Dr. Yang, you ready to scrub back in?
George (runs off): Yes, sir. I'm very sorry. No offence intended!
zzie: She can have more than a trailer park and a graveyard shift at a truck-stop diner. Don't you want that for
her? I mean, if you can get past the fact that I'm superior, and that I'm judging you, and telling you what's best
for your family...if you can just get past all of that, isn't it possible that I'm also right?
Izzie comes in George's room and lays in his bed)
George: Are you okay?
Izzie: Yeah. Yeah I am. (George returns back to playing his PSP. Meredith now enters his room and lays on the
other side, next to him)
George: Are you okay?
Meredith: Yeah.
George: What happened today?
Meredith: Nothing.
Izzie: Nothing.
George: Okay. (he turns back to his PSP)
Izzie: We dont know everything about each other George.
Meredith: Yeah.
George: True. (Meredith shuts off the bedside light)
George: Anybody wanna have sex? (Meredith laughs)
Izzie: George! [
Burke: Never have I questioned a fellow surgeon in their O.R. I never understood what the problem was, an
intern dating an attending...until today

17- Part 2
Meredith (opening voiceover): In hospitals they say you know. You know you're going to die. Some doctors
say it's a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there's a scent, a smell of death. Some say there's just
some kind of sixth sense, when the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's
creepy. Because if you know, what do you do about it? Forget about the fact that you're scared out of your
mind. If you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it?
Dylan: You realize how stupid that was.
Cristina: It was Mer. Incredibly stupid!
Meredith (to Cristina): Okay you know when you dont need to be made fun of? Like when youve got your
hand inside a body thats got a bomb in it and a stranger is velcroing a flak jacket to your boobs.
Cristina: Okay.
Dylan: You've got a sense of irony.
Meredith: Only when things are really ironic. (she turns to Cristna) ... I had a feeling.(Cristina gives Meredith
an 'I cannont believe you said that.' look)
21
22
Derek: I'm glad you didn't die today. (goes to leave but turns around) It was a Thursday morning. You were
wearing that ratty little Dartmouth t-shirt you look so good in. The one with the hole in the back of the neck.
You'd just washed your hair and you smelled like some kind of flower. I was running late for surgery. You said
you were gonna see me later and you leaned to me, you put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft.
Was quick, kinda like a habit. You know, like we'd do it every day for the rest of our lives. You went back to
reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed.
Meredith (beat): Lavender. My hair smelled like lavender from my conditioner.
Derek: Lavender. Huh.
George: Oh, Dr. Bailey, I can see the top of his head, he's got a lotta hair! Oh, he's cute.
Bailey: O'Malley?
George: Yeah?
Bailey: Stop lookin' at my va-jay-jay. (he looks away instantly)
George: Yes ma'am.
Derek: Where is she?
Richard: You had to be a cowboy.
Derek (looking around): Wh-Where is she?
Richard: She's right here.
Addison (walks quickly up to him and hugs him): Derek. You're okay. Oh, thank God, you're okay. (Derek has
his head on Addison's shoulder and looks over at Richard)
Adele (to Richard): That is not the 'she' he was askin' for
Hannah: I ran away. ... You think youre going to be different. You think youre gonna be the kind of person who
stays and does something. (she shakes her head) You know a good man in a storm. Im a paramedic. Im
supposed to stay and do something. Im not supposed to run away. Im not supposed to hide under the stairs
cause I left two people to die. Im supposed to stay and do something. I ran away.
Derek: You didn't answer my question, Yang.
Cristina: Sir?
Derek: How's the girl with the bomb? (Cristina looks conflicted)
Cristina: It's Meredith. (Derek looks startled) The girl with the bomb is Meredith.

when we think life and circumstances have forced us truly to become an adult, your mother says something
like that. Or worse, something like that. We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we're
still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.
Meredith (closing voiceover): We grow bigger and taller, but we never actually grow up. I've heard that it's
possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the
rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. We whisper secrets with our
best friends in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we hope; against all logic, against all
experience. Like children, we never give up hope.
Meredith: Hes not the kind of guy you leave if you can help it.
Mark: What if youre wrong? What if just this once ... life comes down on the side of the dirty mistresses?
Mark: How come you can forgive her but not me?
Derek: I didnt forgive her. And with you I have no obligation to try
Mark: You know its funny, Derek-- Derek walks in on me naked with his wife actually in the throes. And he just
turns around and walks away, but he sees me so much as talking to you and Im on the ground bleeding.
Interesting, dont you think?
Cristina (about Addison): I don't get what McDreamy and McSteamy see in her.
Alex: Cause she's McHot.
George: McYeah she is
Burke: I am Preston Burke, a widely reknowned cardiothoracic surgeon. I am a professional and more than
that, I am a good and kind person. I am a person that cleans up behind myself. I am a person that cooks well.
And you, you are an unbelievable slob. A slovenly, angry intern. I am Preston Burke. And you, you are the most
competitive, most guarded, most challenging person I have ever met. And I love you. What the hell is the
matter with you that you won't just let me?( esto es re yo afectado. Toda la serie lo es. Es genial.)
Ellis: I'm exhausted.
Meredith: So Am I.
Ellis: I was going at it all night in the on call room. What's your excuse?
Meredith: Mom.
Ellis: I tell ya. That man can make me purr like a kitten.
Meredith: Mom.
Ellis: When he isn't making me growl like a tiger.
Meredith: Stop!
Ellis: If he had any balls at all he would leave on his own. (she shakes his head) And my husband wonders
why Im not interested in him anymore. No. He plays stupid. Hes waiting for me to kick him out. I come home
with a hickey on my shoulder. (she points to her shoulder) A hickey! For gods sake like Im a sex-crazed
teenager. (she chuckles) Which lets face it these days I am. And what does Thatcher do? Pretend he doesnt
see it. (Meredith looks stunned)
George: Why is he suturing his own face?
Cristina: To turn me on.
Alex: Because he's Mark Sloan. He's like the go to plastic surgeon on the East Coast.
George (shocked): That's the guy that Addison was sleeping with?
Izzie: Well, you can't really blame her, can you?
Cristina: No, not really.
George: Yes, you can.
Meredith (walks up): McSexy wants an x-ray to check for fractures and I think its a bad idea if I take him.
Izzie: Why? Why?
Alex: I'm on it. (leaves)
George: Why is it a bad idea?
Cristina: McSexy?
24
Meredith: No.
Izzie: McYummy?
Meredith & Cristina: No.
Meredith: McSteamy.
Cristina: Ah, there it is.
Izzie: Yep.
George: Now... I'll just be choking back some McVomit
Cristina: You know, he's acting like I committed a crime. Like my apartment is full of stolen goods. He's acting
like I kept my apartment to hide stolen good so I could do illegal transplants for money.
Meredith: Are you sure he's not just acting like you lied about moving in?
Cristina: What the hell's wrong with you?
Meredith: My mommy's a filthy whore.
25
Addison: No! I slept with Mark a year ago, and apparently this is what I get!
Bailey: Yeah. But how did you...
Addison (upset): I live in a trailer. I have Meredith Grey's dog and I went outside to throw a stick and I had to
pee. So, I squatted because I didn't wanna go inside and wake up my husband because of the way he's been
looking at me since yesterday.(starts crying) I just wanted a few minutes of peace and this is what I get!
Bailey: No, no, no, don't cry. (she keeps crying) Don't cry. Please, please don't cry! Stop! You're gonna make
me (she moves her hands from her shirt showing that her shirt's wet) lactate.
Addison (still crying): I'm sorry. I'm sorry
Richard: I see you.
Bailey: No, you don't.
Richard: Your husband was discharged over an hour ago.
Bailey: I'm not here.
Richard: Go home. You're not working today, you're on maternity leave.
Bailey: Exactly.
Meredith: He's gonna be okay, right?
Alex: He dislocated his shoulder. Hes gonna be fine. (walks away)
Meredith: That's not exactly what I meant.
Izzie: Meredith, if you can't make this right, if you can't fix this with George... just so you know, if it comes to
choosing sides, I'm on his. (walks away)
Cristina: He's the weaker kid. I mean, even I don't beat up on weaker kids, it's cheap.
Meredith (teary eyed): I did a terrible thing... I didn't... I did a terrible thing.
Cristina: He's been in love with you since day one, there's no way you didn't know that... (Meredith looks
down) We all do terrible things.
Meredith: Thank you.
Cristina: You're welcome
26
Addison: Yeah.
Derek: I'm sorry. I'm working on it.
Addison (smiles): Okay
27
28
Susan: Oh she knows about you. Or that she knows that her father was married before and had another
daughter. Has another daughter.
Meredith: No had is right.
Susan: Your father thinks about you. He thinks about you a lot. He just ... your mother ... your mother (she
shakes her head) she broke him.
Meredith (really uncomfortable): Uh, uh excuse me. I- I have to work. (walks off)
Meredith: That's a pretty ring.
Molly: Oh, thanks. It was my grandmas and then my moms. (Meredith nods looking slightly uncomfortable
which Molly notices) You think Im too young to be married.
Meredith: No.
Molly: Thats okay. Everybody thinks Im too young. If I saw me Id think I was too young.
Meredith: Um, how old are you?
Molly: 22. (Meredith nods slightly teary eyed) Erics 23 and hes in the army and he was getting shipped out
and I just love him so much you know? Anyway, I proposed.
Meredith: Oh. And, ah your parents, they approve?
Molly: Oh my parents are amazing. You know how Dads can be. Mines pretty over-protective. But you know
at my wedding when he gave me away, my dad cried. Which was ... Ive never seen my dad cry
before. (Meredith nods again teary eyed) But, I think it was also kind of weird for him because Im his little girl.
You know because Im the youngest (Meredith looks startled at this) and my sister is nowhere near ready for
marriage. But it was good crying, like he was proud of me, you know? (she smiles and Meredith just nods) Im
sorry, I just- Im nervous so Im talking. IMeredith: No thats okay. You have a sister?
Molly: Yeah, Lexie. Shes in medical school. Harvard. Shes the smart one. You should see how my dad is
about her. Hes like crazy proud. (Meredith just nods, biting her lip) [
Meredith (opening voiceover): A good basketball game can have us all on the edge of our seats. Games are
all about the glory, pain and the play by play. And then there are the more solitary games. The games we play
all by ourselves. The social games, the mind games. We use them to pass the time to make life more
interesting... to distract us from what's really going on. There are those of us who love to play games, any
games. And there are those of us who love to play a little too much
Meredith (closing voiceover): Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose, or draw, the game is on. So go ahead...
argue with the ref, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play. Play. Play
hard, play fast... play loose and free. Play as if there's no tomorrow. Okay, so it's not whether you win or lose,
it's how you play the game... right?
zzie: So what are the sister and the father like?
Cristina: Like? They're like people who Meredith is related to and never met.
George: They're nice.
Izzie: Could you imagine? A sister and a whole family you know nothing about? You think she's gonna freak
out?
George: It's not my responsibility to care. (Izzie is about to say something but Cristina sees Richard walking
towards them and motions for her to stop) Hey, chief.
Richard: Seems like I'm a little rusty on my B-transfer and rote pass. Dr. Yang here has been kicking my ass
all day. (sits down)
Izzie: Oh, I can't imagine that.
George (same time as Izzie): Oh, no.
Richard: No, really. She has. (Cristina is trying not to smirk and remains silent) Of course, speed and precision
aren't the most important skills, Dr. Yang. Basics are the key. You need a solid foundation before anything
else. (Cristina remains silent. An akward silence falls over the table) Well okay uh, I'll see you back in the lab.
Cristina: Sir.
Richard: Enjoy your lunch.
George: You, too.
Izzie: Have a nice day, sir. (Richard walks off)
29
Cristina: Okay, I really am kicking the Chief's ass! (Meredith comes in)
Izzie: George.
George: It's not my responsibility. (walks off)
Meredith: That's okay, I can accept rejection. I've got my knitting...
Cristina: Mer...
Meredith: ... The weird thing is I just saw my father.
Izzie (slams her hand against the table and looks at Cristina): Oh, that's good. That's so good.
Cristina: Did you meet your sister, too? (Meredith gives her a confused look, where as Izzie gives her a
shocked "I can't believe you said that" look)
Lola: Youre getting the hang of it.
Meredith: Not really.
Lola: You give up men?
Meredith: Noyes. You know, I dont need to actually see the vet, I just really wanna sit with Doc. I just wanna
spend time with my dog.
Finn (comes down the stairs): Hi. Im Finn Dandridge you must be Dr. Grey, Docs other owner. We finally
meet. Hello. (Meredith starts knitting faster)
zzie: Im making a sweater. Actually, Meredith, thats my friend. The friend that broke George, she is knitting a
sweater, she is not really knitting a sweater because she can not knit. But I want her to think she is knitting a
sweater because she and I took a celibacy vow. So she is replacing sex with knitting and so I am knitting
pieces of Merediths sweater so, I can switch them out with hers so she can really believe that she is knitting.
Because If anybody needs to be celibate its Meredith because she broke George, you know?
Beatrice: Study hard. Keep your grades up. Starting next year youre gonna wanna take two AP classes a
semester, if you want to get into a decent college.
Amelia: Mom, this is really morbid.
Beatrice: And your Aunt Sue is kinda lazy when it comes to personal hygiene. So, you may have to be the one
to remind her when its time to get your eyebrows waxed or get your hair cut but, eventually, shell get the
routine down.
Amelia: Can we not have this conversation?
Beatrice: Oh, this might sound random but wear underwear with pantyhose. I know it might feel a little bulky
but honestly its a little slutty not to and also thats how you get yeast infections.
Amelia: Mom, this is totally gross.
Beatrice: And marry a kind man. One whos nice to his mother. Now, if he lives with his mother, you run the
opposite way.
Amelia: Mom, Im not getting married.
Beatrice: You will someday, and when that day comes just have one glass of champagne, and then you drink
water for the rest of the night because theres nothing tackier than a drunken bride.
Amelia: Mom, I dont (starts crying) Why are you telling me all this?
Beatrice: Honey, Ive been sick for a long time and the doctors dont think that Im gonna get better.
Amelia (sobbing): No.
Beatrice: Amelia... listen to me, look at me. Amelia. This is important, this one is really the important one.
Some day youre gonna have a baby and youre gonna feel overwhelmed by this little life that you're
responsible for and youre gonna think and worry that everything you do is wrong, and thats normal. Youre
gonna obsess about what to feed it, and where to send it to school, and whether it should take violin or piano.
But, Im gonna let you in on a little old secret, it doesnt matter. Whether your kid is a concert pianist or a math
genius, it just doesnt matter because at the end of the day all that matters is if your kid is happy. So youre
going to feel sad for a little while, and thats okay, thats fine. But dont feel sad forever, okay? You can promise
me that? You promise me that you wont feel sad for too long?
Amelia (crying): I promise.
Beatrice (crying): Okay. (they hug) Thank you. That should make me feel much better.
Izzie: Hi.
George: Hey.
30
Izzie: Your hair is growing out, which is nice. I still think you should cut it. I could cut it for you ... If we still lived
together. Or we could just hang out and talk about stuff ... like your new friend, Callie. Shes uh... shes very
umyou know, if you like her, I will like her ... eventually.
George: I cant escape her.
Izzie: What?
George: All I wanna do is forget her, all I wanna do is just escape her. And you know, I cant.
Izzie: You wanna escape Callie? (breathes a sigh of relief) Thank god cause she is like a total freak and Im
starting to get really worried about you. (she stops laughing when she sees Georges face) Sorry. Who? Oh,
Meredith again.
George: Let me tell you something. The minute I tell you what Im about to tell you this officially becomes your
problem. Not mine.
Izzie (confused): Okay?
George: Meredith has a sister
[edit]
Thatcher: I spent years studying this board, holding a crying baby. Trying to get an idea of when my wife would
be out of surgery. "Appy" takes about an hour. Anything with the word "Cardio" in it and I knew not to plan on
seeing her at all that day.
Richard: Thatcher, are you aware of what's going on with Ellis?
Thatcher: You have no right, no right to talk to me about Ellis.
Richard: I'm sorry but I was trying to talk to you about Meredith. ... Thatcher, Ellis has early-onset Alzheimer's.
It's advanced. And it's hard on Meredith as you can imagine and I thought you'd want to know. [edit]
Thatcher: Oh, hey Doctor OMalley.
George: Hi.
Thatcher: I was looking for you. You were-- (he tries to take a step forward, and George steps in his way
blocking him from seeing Meredith who is listening right behind a door) before any one of us starts asking
about Meredith you know her... youre her friend?
George: I used to be her roommate.
Thatcher: Oh wow. You know her really well.
George: Uh, yeah pretty well. (shows Meredith listening)
Thatcher: Um... she came to see me a couple of weeks ago and-George: A couple weeks ago?
Thatcher: Yeah. And I-- I didnt know what to say to her. She looks so-- so much like her mother. Ellis was
cold. I mean, I was a coward. I was, I-- I left. But her mother would never let me know her and now I dont know
how to know her.
George (pauses): Well, Meredith is anything but cold. She smiles not that often but when she does, you
know, because shes... going through a lot. But... its-- its like you feel warm. Shes kind. I mean she can be a
little selfish, you know, she can be---shes flawed but shes kind. (shows Meredith still listening) She cares
about people and uh... she cares about her patients. I think shes going to be a brilliant surgeon you know, and
around here shes known as the one to beat. (Thatcher smiles) So I-- I guess she has that in common with her
mom but I think the rest of her, I think-- I think the rest of that, she gets from you.
Thatcher: Do-- do you know where she is?
George: I think she left already, but I can tell her you were here if you want me to.
Thatcher: Yeah, okay. Thank you. (they laugh awkwardly)
George: All right. Bye.
Thatcher: Okay. (both walk away)
Meredith (softly): Thank you, George.

Bailey: Dr. Stevens, unless Mr. Duquette's heart has suddenly grown a brain, you are currently not doing your
job.
Meredith (closing voiceover): A wise man once said "You can have anything in life if you're willing to sacrifice
everything else for it." What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better
decide how much you're willing to lose. Too often going after what feels good means letting go of what you
know is right. And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building. Of course
the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming. When we don't have time to come up with a strategy
to pick sides.or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us, and not the
other way around, that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear
32
yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst... the mother of all sins... Not only can anger drive
you over the edge, when it does you can take an awful lot of people with you.
Addison: Sorry I uh- I mean not sorry- I-I just- Im having a little trouble because I need to ask you something.
And I dont usually have trouble but what I need to ask Im not even sure I want the answer to. But I have to
ask so Im just gonna ask you and then you answer and then um ... well go from there, okay?
Meredith: Okay.
Addison: Are you sleeping with my husband?
Meredith: Not since before I knew he was married.
Addison (sighs and smiles): Okay. (turns to leave, but turns back) Except it felt like-- just-- in the vets office
this morning and then again in the elevator. It felt a little like you two were having a lovers quarrel?
Meredith (shakes her head): No. Were not. Ive moved on. Im dating Finn.
Addison: Youre dating the vet? (realization dawns on her and she looks upset) Okay.
Meredith (softly): Addison.
Addison: No, no. Thanks. Im good. Im great.
Will: God. If I could say something to that guy and not get fired
Bailey: He cant fire me. (walks over to Brad) Uh, Mr. Ackles. Brad. Im happy for you that youre not feeling
much pain from your very minor injuries but there are a great many people in this hospital who are in a great
amount of pain. See they have bullets in their bones, in their chests, and in their brains. Bullets from a gun that
was aiming for you and although they cant say it because youre the boss of them but most of them at this
moment not that theyll live, not that the pain will subside theyre praying to God at this moment for you to shut
the heck up
Izzie: Everyone who is entered into the transplant program is clocked in to the second... to the second, Denny,
you were clocked in to the second and so was the other guy, I checked with UNOS. The difference between
when you entered the program and when he entered the program is 17 seconds. That's it, Denny. 17 seconds.
I mean, that's not even the length of a decent kiss. So, this other guy? I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve
this heart. I'm sure he does. But So. Do. You. So do you. And if you tell me anymore crap about heading
towards the light or looking down on me from heaven, I swear, I will kill you myself right now. (gasping a little)
Denny (tears in his eyes): Izzie... (pause) I'm gonna be alright. (shaking her head in disbelief) Alright, you don't
have to worry.
Izzie: What About me? What about me when you go into the light?
Denny: Izzie-Izzie (sobbing): No! I get it, okay? I get it! You'll be okay, you'll be fine, but what about me?! So don't do it for
yourself, do it for me! Please? Please, Denny! Please do this for me! Because if you die-- Oh, God! You have
to do this! You have to do this for me, or I'll never be able to forgive you!
Denny: For dying?
Izzie: No! For making me love you! Please? Please, do this-Denny: Come here.
Izzie (sobbing hysterically): Please do this for me? Okay? Please? Okay? I can't do this if you don't-- Please!
Do this for me! Please?!
Denny: Okay. Okay, I'll do it. [edit]
Erica Hahn: It took you long enough, Preston. (sees Alex) Why is junior here? Your ego get too big for one
man to carry?
Burke (laughs, to Alex): Dr. Hahn here graduated second here in our class at John Hopkins, Dr. Karev. Ask her
who graduated first?
Neil: We already sent out the invitations. We're getting married six weeks from now. Deborah, please... I love
you.
Cristina (to Deborah): Don't fall for it.
Neil: Excuse me but-Cristina: That's how they do it with the "I love yous" And the "moving in with mes" and the suck you in and the
pressure is off and the minute that you actually need something you totally deserve, forget it it's not gonna
33
happen. Because they're gonna pass you over for surgery or they're gonna duck behind you when someone's
shooting! (looks at Neil)
Deborah: You're very, very bitter.
Neil: That's exactly what I was thinking. See, we're meant to be together.
Deborah: Shut up, Neil.
(In one of the open walkways in the hospital, after talking with Kendra's parents)
Addison: What they're doing is not about love, Derek! Well, it's like you.
Derek: Excuse me.
Addison: Yeah, how you pretend to love me, but really you're just using me to fill this need you have to be a
good guy.
Derek: Now's not the time to talk about this. We'll talk about this later.
Addison: Oh what, you walk away, that's all I get?
Derek: Just calm down, please.
Addison: What, what, you're not going to yell at me, call me names, or, I don't know, ignore me in an
elevator?
Derek: What do you want from me, Addison?
Addison: I want you to care. I sleep with your best friend, and you walk away. He comes out here from New
York and rubs it in your face, and still you get a good night's sleep. What do I have to do? Oh, I know. Maybe
what I should do is go out on a date with the vet because that seems to be something that sends you into a
blind rage. Oh but wait, that won't work either because I'm not Meredith Grey! (Camera pulls back to see that
most of the staff saw Addison's outburst including Meredith)
