3X02 I Am A Tree

  At any given moment the human the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of four hundred and fifty 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 its impulses. Which I think what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course sometimes we have impulses we'd rather not control. That we later wish we hadn't. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 (confused): The bulletin board? What are you talking about?
Meredith: But you're married. Which makes none of this normal. It makes me a home wrecker and I hate the fact that I'm a home wrecker.
Derek: Meredith. I'm not going to pressure you. Take all the time you need. But just so you have all the information, my home was wrecked well before you came into the picture and 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.

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 & 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: Do you wanna try dating?
Meredith: Yes.
Finn (confused): Both of us?
Meredith: Yes. And I understand if you' re not up for it. But I really hope you are.
Finn: You bowing out?
Derek: No. You?
Finn (shakes his head): I don't think so.

  The body is a slave to its 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've made. We can try to let go of what was... and then again...
