Meredith: So I keep having that dream; the Derek is dead dream.

Cristina: Who does their residencies at number 12 hospitals?

Losers and I am not a loser.

Meredith: So, the dream is about me being afraid of the house

of candles and you know, taking the big step. I'm afraid of having

a happy ending.

Cristina: You know, I have a Phd in bio-chem, I'm a double doctor.

Double doctors should not do their residencies at second rate

hospitals.

Meredith: Wyatt says I should just lean into the wind, into the fear,

so I'm just gonna ask Derek to move in with me.

Cristina: Transfer, Cleveland Clinic has a huge cardio program.

Meredith: We're still in the top 20, that's pretty good.

Cristina: Pretty good is not enough. I want to be great. Greatness

Meredith.

Meredith: Greatness, which is why I'm gonna ask Derek to move

in with me. It's just that it's..you know a big step and I don't

want to mess it up again. I've messed it up before with the

break-ups and on and off again and the sleeping with George it's

just..

Lexie: You slept with George? No talking unless it's medical.

Mark: Humiliating

Derek: Yea

Mark: 12! You're the best neurosurgeon in the country, in the

world! Don't you want to say anything nice about me?

Derek: Ah, you're the best plastics guy at Seattle Grace.

Mark: Nice, really nice.

Derek: Don't force me to praise you. Hey Rose.

Rose: Hello Dr. Sloan.

Derek: She took it so well at the beginning. I was hoping we'd be

civilized, she's working my OR.

Mark: Civilized is out, it's gone, it's a trail of fairy dust.

Now she's got delayed rage.

Derek: Delayed rage?

Mark: She was being big before, putting on a brave face.

Now she's had time to think, now she hates your guts.

You have to break up with her.

Derek: That's the point, I did already.

Mark: Well you did it personally, now you have to do it

professionally. Good luck with that.

Derek: Delayed rage.

Meredith: So we're standing here in the hopes that someone is

severely injured. Wishing and praying that someone is so hurt

and so near death that the ambulance has to bring them here

because we're closer than Mercy West?

Bailey: Yup!

Izzie: Wow, you and God are cool with that?

Bailey: Damn I forgot about God.

Mark: What kind of moron are you O'Malley? Are you a

special moron from the isle of complete and utter morons?

Meredith: Do you want to move in with me?

Derek: You want to live together?

Meredith: Well I mean I could just ah..well if you don't want to..

Derek: Yes.

Meredith: Yes?

Derek: Absolutely, are you sure you're ready?

Meredith: I'm leaning into the fear to get a happy ending.

Derek: I don't even know what that means.

Bailey: I have a dream Yang.

Cristina: Excuse me?

Bailey: That one day a trauma will come through those doors.

I have a dream.

Cristina: I share that dream.

Paramedic: I didn't do it, GI Joe trach'd him at the field before

I got there.

Chief: A pen? You trach'd this guy with an ink pen?

Owen: So!

Betty: Hello? Someone there? Where am I?

Alex: You in a space ship going to the moon, enjoy the ride.

Izzie: Alex!

Betty: A space ship? Excuse me?

Izzie: You're having a CT Betty, you're gonna be okay. You've

been in a car accident. Just don't move. for the fifth time

to Alex Thanks a lot!

Derek: Curve #2 penfield please. You know, actually I want a
#4 penfield.
Hahn: Oh that's interesting, why did you want to use the #4
penfield instead?
Derek: Sorry?

Hahn: Oh well how would you explain it? I'm observing your

teaching style. Hope you don't mind.

So the penfield, you changed it because?

Derek: I changed my mind.

Rose laughs

Is that a problem Rose?

Rose: Not at all Dr. Shepherd. You changed your mind, got it.

whispering and giggling

Derek: Who the hell are you?

Cristina: Army surgeon bad-ass, did something crazy with a

pen on a guys throat.

Derek: Book an OR. I'll go in on her once I finish up with Anna's

husband. Busy OR today.

Rose: But that's kind of your thing right? Juggling more than one

person at a time.

Lexie: You're a little mean to George and unnecessarily mean and

he's studying to retake his intern test. So he's a little stressed out.

I was just thinking maybe you can be nicer.

Mark: You're an intern, why are you talking to me?

Lexie: You..well you're my half-sister's boyfriend's..best friend, so

I..

Mark: You thought that makes us friends? You thought that you'd

defend your boyfriend to me and I'd just take it?

Lexie: He's not my boyfriend.

Mark: But you want him to be.

Lexie: Do not

Mark: Do too

Lexie: Do not

Mark: Do too. Does he know?

Lexie: Shut up!

Mark: I'm your attending you can't tell me to shut up.

You want me to be nicer to O'Malley?

Lexie: Please

Mark: Confess your love to him and I'll think about it.

Lexie: Shut up!

Meredith: Ahh, the softer side of Alex. Izzie was right.

Alex: What's that supposed to mean.

Meredith: Nothing

Alex: What did Izzie say to you?

Meredith: She said you were a good man. Said you changed.

It was nothing.

Alex: Is she saying that I cried? Cause that is a lie.

Meredith: No, didn't say that.

Alex: She needs to keep her mouth shut.

Meredith: Alex! I made a stupid joke. She didn't mean anything.

Chief: Damn it Yang move! I thought you said you've done this stitch.

Cristina: I have, a hundred times.

Hahn: On hearts.

Cristina: On hearts.

Hahn: Your forceps were maserating the tissue. You were handling

the bowel incorrectly. Which you would know if you weren't

allowed to clock so many hours in cardio-thoracics at the expense

of your general surgery knowledge.

Lexie: Dr. Sloan!

Mark: I'm sorry GREY was there something you wanted to say to

anyone in here?

Lexie: No there wasn't.

Mark: Coward

Lexie: Shut up

George: Lexie!

Derek: Rose. Please look at me. If you're gonna behave like this

you can't be in my OR.

Rose: Ok there's no good way to say this. I've been acting this

way because I'm ..I'm carrying your child Derek.

Ha! Gotcha! Laughs

Derek: This is your idea of a joke?

Rose: Oh please! You deserve it. Who do you think you are?

"If you're gonna keep behaving this way you can't be in my OR."

Derek: You should transfer to a different specialty.

Rose: YOU should transfer to a different specialty.

Derek: I'm a neurosurgeon.

Rose: You should of thought of that while repeatedly assuring

me that you were over your ex.

See ya in the OR, I'm not going anywhere.

Meredith: So he's got fishing gear and boots and hair product.

I don't have room for any of that stuff. And he talks and not a

little, I mean he chats, he's chatty freakin Cathy.

Cristina: Not right now.

Meredith: And then you know what's gonna happen after he moves

in don't you? We build a house on his land, which will be our land

because we'll be married. And then I'll be Dr. Mrs. Shepherd.

And you know what comes after that don't you? Babies and they'll

be his babies. So they'll have perfect hair and they'll be chatty.

So I'll have five chatty children, a chatty husband and live in a

house in the wilderness. And then I'll start sleeping with your

husband. I gotta tell him I've changed my mind. Don'tcha

think?

Cristina: Meredith!

Meredith: What? Why are you making that face?

Cristina: Shut up, you know just shut up about Derek,

shut up about moving in with Derek, shut up about

your relationship. Because you want to know what?

I've heard it all before. yea, you know, you guys get

together and I have to listen to it; then you guys

break up and I have to listen to it. I almost killed a

man in surgery today. Yea, you wanna know what I

think? Ok, you really want to know? You and Derek

will not work. Moving in together is a mistake of

massive proportion. You are dreaming of dead Derek

which should tell you it will not work.

Meredith: Cristina..

Cristina: No, you know this whole thing, this happily

ever after, does not exist. So please, please, please

as you weigh your options here just consider the

possibility of shutting the hell up! Because I can't

listen to it anymore.

Meredith: I..

Cristina: No!

Meredith: Okay..

Cristina: No!

Meredith: I..

Cristina: Okay that's it, that's it I'm done.

walks away and slips on ice

Ow!

Meredith: Not gonna say you deserve that, but

you deserved that.

Cristina: Oh thanks, help me, help me up.

is impaled with an icicle

Derek: When Dr. Hahn asked me about teaching before, here's

a tip: when you hand a surgeon a 15 blade, make sure it's handle first.

Derek: Hm, ever since this morning you've been pissing on everything

with a pulse, trying to prove you're not number 12...and you're not.

But right now, with this decision, you act like number 12.

Good luck with the patient Dr. Torres.

Derek: The chief is under the spell of some insane man in

camoflauge.

Mark: Saved my patient's life, he'll never talk again but

still. Life saved. What happened to your hand?

Derek: Ah..scalpel..Rose. Not intentional.

Mark: She's a dead mouse on the kitchen floor. At some

point you gotta pick it up and throw it away.

Derek: hmm.

Mark: You want me to take a look at that?

Derek: Mer's gonna take care of it.

Mark: I'm a renowned plastic surgeon.

Derek: It's a scratch

Mark: Grey's a resident.

Derek: She gives me sex, especially when I'm wounded.

resident

Meredith: How are you doing?

Cristina: Please take my films because my interns are idiots!

Meredith: Hold still.

Cristina: I am, just shoot it.

Meredith: Hold still because I wanna ask you a question.

Cristina: What?

Meredith: Did you mean what you said about me and Derek?

Cristina: Well, this is not fair. I'm impaled.

Meredith: I know I talk about it too much and I know I've gone

soft and gooey and disgusting. And if I had to listen to it I'd puke

too. But you said what you said because you were mad not because

you meant it.

Cristina: Just take my x-ray and it doesn't matter what I say.

Meredith: Of course it matters what you say! Of course it matters!

Cristina: Will you stop..stop taking my picture and take my

picture!

Izzie: Alex, why are you ignoring me?

Alex: I'm hoping if I wait long enough you'll be as annoyed by the

sound of your voice as I am and just shut up.

Izzie: Okay, did I do something?

Alex: You know what you did.

Izzie: No I don't. Alex just tell me, what did I do?

Alex: Shut up, I had a bad night and I cried like a girl. I'm over

it, you need to get over it too.

Derek: You wanna hear how I cut my hand? It's a good story.

Meredith: I am not sure moving in together is a good idea.

Derek: Okay, fine.

Meredith: Fine? What does that mean?

Derek: Means that I know you.

Meredith: So what you didn't believe that I would let you move in

in the first place?

Derek: I believe that you believe it. Look I'm gonna move very

slowly. Baby steps, no sudden moves. You're like a deer in the woods.

Meredith: Okay, I built the house of candles. That is unprecedented

in the Meredith chronicles.

Derek: Fine, let's move in together.

Meredith: Fine

Derek: Unless of course you just want to go ahead and get married.

Aha! Gotcha ya! You wanna know where I learned that? Goes with

the story of how I cut my hand.

Izzie: What did you say to Alex?

Meredith: I..I didn't say anything. I just said that I think it's nice

that you two are friendly again.

Izzie: Damn it Meredith! Why can't you just mind your own

business? I mean..you know what forget it. I should never have

told you anything. You can't keep anything to yourself unless it's

for Cristina.

Meredith: Izzie!

Derek: Marriage?

Meredith: Not funny.

Cristina: That's my icicle.

Owen: Yea

Cristina: You took out my icicle.

I didn't give you permission to do that.

Owen: So.

Chief: I've let a lot of things slide over the past few years.

I've been ..soft.

Derek: It's not about you being soft.

Chief: I think it's the fact that Meredith is here. The fact that Ellis'

daughter is here.

Meredith: walks in Chief. Vincent Kenner... We gave him 31 units

of blood. Fresh frozen plasma. Multiple liters of LR. We did

everything we could do, we just couldn't bring him back.

Chief: You don't know how to do anything. None of you.

You're half way through your 2nd year of residency and you

walk around this hospital like it's your God given right to be here.

Well it is not, Dr. Grey. I assure you. You are here because I

allow it. You are here to do what I say. And the one thing I ask

you to do you can't even save...

Derek: Richard! We can't save everybody.

Chief: We should try harder. We should try harder.

Bailey: Dr. Karev, what time is it?

Alex: It's tomorrow. His insurance expired.

Rose: I'm sorry about the hand.

Derek: These things happen.

Rose: Not to me they don't. Or they didn't, before you existed

for me. Before you existed I was good. Every doctor in this hospital

wanted me in their OR. I was known as a damn good scrub nurse.

And now, I'm the crazy girl out of Fatal Attraction, who goes around

stabbing surgeons.

Derek: Sorry. I'm so...sorry.

Rose: There's an opening in peds, I start on their service tomorrow.

Again, very sorry about your hand.

Mark: You're never at a loss for words with your patients.

Lexie: Oh for God's sake.

Mark: You don't seem to have any trouble letting me know

how you feel. So why not tell O'Malley?

Lexie: You really are the last person who should be giving

romantic advice.

Mark: When I like somebody I make sure they know it.

Life's too short to live any other way.

Callie: Might have been the hypo-thermic treatment

Derek: Or my surgical skills.

Bailey: Oh we'll never know.

Meredith: What's going on?

Callie: Phillip can wiggle his toes.

Bailey: Oh say it!

Derek: Don't make me say it.

Bailey: Please say it, say it for me. Though it's technically

not true yet.

Derek: We made a man walk.

Bailey: We made a man walk.

Callie: We made a man walk!

Meredith: You said Derek and I would never make it.

Cristina: And then I was karmically impaled for saying it.

Meredith: But you're right people don't have happily ever afters.

People barely have ever afters. So why would Derek and I be any

different?

Cristina: Mer, why do you care what I think?

Meredith: Because you're my person. And if I'm gonna do this

with him, be whole and healthy and be a warm gooey person who

lives with a boy..I need you! I need you on board. I need you to

cheer me on. Because you're the only one who knows me; Darkly.

Really knows me. I need you to pretend that I can do this, even if

you don't believe. Because if you abandon me now, I will never

make it. And I'll never get my happy ending and that's just...

Cristina: Life!

Meredith: I'm saying please here.
