Great surgeons aren't made. They're born. It takes gestation, incubation, sacrifice. A lot of sacrifice. But after all the blood and guts and gooey stuff is washed away, that surgeon you become: totally worth it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Derek: That's better that expected.
Meredith: I know.
Derek: Better doesn't mean good. I don't want you getting emotionally involved with this patients. I don't want you getting your hopes up.
Meredith: My hopes are not up.
Derek: All right then, Dr. Grey. Let's do this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Addison:You broke up with Meredith Grey?!?
Derek: We are doing a clinical trial together if that makes you fell better.
Addison: Derek, I hugged her! And you're not even together anymore? What the hell happened? (pause) Okay fine. Tell me about your clinical trial.
Derek: Well, if it doesn't go well, I'm killing people for sport. When I walk into an OR I'm an expert. I can stop a bleed, I can remove a clot, I'm an expert. Not in a clinical trial. I'm experimenting. Groping around in the dark. Hoping to do the right thing. She wants greatness from me. (pause) She's expecting greatness.
Addison: Okay, seriously, Derek what are you doing?
Derek: I'm seeing somebody else. She's lovely. She's really lovely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Callie: Did anyone ever think you two were a couple?
Meredith: No, because we screw boys like whores on tequila.
Cristina: Then we either try to marry them or drown ourselves.
Callie: Huh..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meredith: I got my hopes up.
Derek: Yeah, me too.
Meredith: Dr. Shepherd?
Derek: Yes?
Meredith: It was a pleasure working with you today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meredith: Hey, you're leaving already?
Addison: I have a plane to catch... I walk on the beach now, I buy aromatherapy candles, I'm very Zen, but I want to kick your ass so badly right now it is killing me.
Meredith: Excuse me?
Addison: I'm talking about Derek. Derek Christopher Shepherd. Are you letting him get away? Because I swear to God Meredith, if you let him ride off into the sunset with that doe-eyed little thing...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giving birth may be all intense and magical and stuff, but the act itself: it's not exactly pleasant. But it's also a beginning... of something incredible. Something new. Something unpredictable. Something true. Something worth loving. Something worth missing. Something that will change your life... forever.
