  As interns, we know what we want, to become surgeons. And we'll do anything to get there. Suffer through killer exam, endure 100-hour weeks, Stand for hours on end in operating rooms, you name it, we'll do it. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meredith: Hey. 

Derek: Hey.
Meredith: I haven't seen you in a few days. I left messages.
Derek: Yeah, I know. I was just trying to be...
Meredith: I know I told you to stop hovering and you did and I appreciate but now stop the stopping.
Derek: No, you're right. It's ridiculous to worry about you all the time.
Meredith: It's sweet that you worry.
Derek: Mmm hmm.
Meredith: It is. I should communicate more.
Derek: Right?
Meredith: You don't think I can do it? I can do it.
Derek: Really?
Meredith: In a few seconds, I'll be getting on that elevator. And then I'll be going on rounds. See that? I'm getting on the elevator. Communicating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Meredith: Hey, just so you know I'll be over here while you're over there, okay? 

Derek: Cute.
Meredith: Easy to locate, right?
Derek: Mmm-hmm.
Meredith: Girlfriend comes with a GPS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Derek: What are you doing here? 

Meredith: I wanted you to know where I was so I thought I'd come and tell you.
Derek: Now you're mocking me.
Meredith: I'm apologizing to you. (She kisses his neck)
Derek: You're making light of things.
Meredith: I'm running my fingers through your hair... I 'm standing in your bedroom... unbuttoning my shirt... and now I'm taking off my pants... and now... I'm getting in your bed naked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Meredith: No, see, you can't do that. 

Derek: Do what?
Meredith: Not look happy after sex. It's bad for the ego.
Derek: I'm fine.
Meredith: Are we fine?
Derek: Sure.
Meredith: Not so convincing. I shouldn't have accused you of hovering. It wasn't nice. You were just trying to be there for me. But now I'm being available and communicating and being naked and doing all of your favorite things.
Derek: Mmm, good things.
Meredith: Then why are you still staring at the ceiling?
Derek: I don't know. It's just that... that day... you came out of the water... I spent the scariest hour of my life trying to breathe for you. I love you and I want you but I don't know what to... you didn't swim. You didn't swim and you know how to... and I don't know if I can... I don't know if I wanna... keep trying to breathe for you.
Meredith: I should go. I'll go.

  Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who don't know what they want.
