Broken Memories [GA 1] COMPLETED

2. Leave Him, He's Happy

Waking up the next morning, Effy brushed her teeth and had a quick shower before driving to work.

Izzie, Meredith, Effy and George are talking in the corridor.

"Why do you put up posters for roommates if you don't want roommates?" Izzie asks.

"I do want roommates, we're together a hundred hours a week, you want to live together too?" Meredith asks.

"No" Cristina answers, joining to group.

"Ooh, you're bringing bribes now?" Effy asks, motioning to the coffee in Meredith's hand that she was going to give to Bailey.

"I need a place to live. My mom irons my scrubs. I have to get out of there" George explains.

"It's not a bribe. I don't think it's a good idea"

"But I can put down last, first and deposit" George tells her.

"It's totally a bribe" Cristina pushes.

"I need a new place. I'm currently paying $20 a night to stay in a hotel. No one wants to be known at the surgical intern who lives in a hotel" Effy complains.

"I can cook. And I'm an obsessive cleaner" Izzie adds.

"No. I just want two total strangers who I don't have to talk to, or be nice to, and it's not a bribe, it's a mocha latte" Meredith explains as Bailey walks over,

"George, Elizabeth, you're running the code team; Meredith, take the trauma patients; Cristina, deliver the weekend labs to the patients; Izzie, you're in sutures" She commands.

"Doctor Bailey, I was hoping to assist you in the OR today, maybe do a minor procedure? I think I'm ready. Mocha latte?" Meredith offers.

"If she gets to cut, I wanna cut too" Cristina complains.

"Yeah, me too" Izzie joins.

"I wouldn't mind another shot, I mean if everybody else is..." George starts.

"I honestly don't care" Effy admits.

"Stop talking. Every intern want to perform their first surgery, that's not your job. Do you know what your job is? To make your resident happy. Do I look happy? No. Why? Because my interns are whining. You know what would make me look happy? Having the code team staffed, having the trauma patients answered, having the weekend labs delivered, and having someone down in the Pit doing the sutures" Bailey takes the mocha latte, "No one holds a scalpel until I'm so happy I'm Mary freaking Poppins"

"Mocha latte my ass" Cristina mumbles.

"Cristina, you don't have an ass" Effy whispers, laughing slightly.

"Why're y'all standing there? Move!" Bailey demands and they all run off to where they're meant to be.

Cristina, Elizabeth and George were walking in the corridor, "Do you know what the code team does? Saves lives. I shock a heart and someone lives to see another day. It's upbeat. It's glass half full" George smiles.

"Bambi, don't say another word until after the hunter shoots your mother" Cristina groans.

"Tina, leave him, he's happy"

"I don't like you" George tells Yang.

"Well I have a BA from Smith, a PHD from Berkeley, and an MD from Stanford and I'm delivering lab results. It's going to take me all day to get through these" Cristina explains.

"Then get started" Bailey tells her.

"Oh, uh, I wasn't complaining. I- I don't-" Yang stutters.

"This intern was reassigned, so he's mine, now" The three interns look at Alex who is standing beside Bailey. "Have him shadow you for the day. You show him how I do things" Bailey tells them before walking away.
