We all go through life like bulls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people. The problem is trying to control the damage we've done, or that's been done to us. Sometimes the damage catches us by surprise. Sometimes we think we can fix the damage.

Meredith: Our dog.
Derek (turns around): What?
Meredith (walks up to him): Our dog. You said my dog. He' s our dog.
Derek: Yeah, whatever.
Meredith: Are you mad at me or something?
Derek: Now's not the time.

  Meredith: I should have never told you about George.

Derek: No, it's good. I'm glad I know about him and the vet. You really get around.
Meredith: What did you just say to me?
Derek: It's unforgivable.
Meredith: I don't ever remember asking you to forgive me.
Derek: So was the knitting a phase? Who' s next? Alex? Cause I hear he likes to sleep around. You two have that in common.
Meredith (angry): You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you I thought I' d found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done. So all the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues, who cared because I was done! You left me. You chose Addison! I'm all glued up together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.
Derek: This thing with us is finished. It's over.
Meredith: Finally.
Derek: Yeah, it's done.
Meredith: It is done.

  We're all damaged, it seems. Some of us more than others. We carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grown-ups, we give as good as we get. Ultimately, we all do damage. And then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can.
