In 6500 BC, some guy looked at his friend and said, let's drill a hole in your head... that will make you feel better. And thus surgery was born. It takes a certain brand of crazy to think of drilling into someone's skull, but surgeons have always been a confident bunch. We don't always know what we're doing, but we act like we do. We walk into a country, plant a flag and start ordering people around. It's invigorating and terrifying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meredith (enters the bedroom): Hey, you're...?
Derek (smiles): Naked and waiting for you.
Meredith: You keep a diary? Have I not known all this time that you keep a diary?
Derek: No, I...No...
Meredith: Don't be shy, I think it's cute! I won't read it.
Derek: It's not mine.
Meredith: Who's is it?
Derek: Your mother's. It was in the big box full of issues of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Meredith: Did you read it?
Derek: No. I brought it up here for you.
Meredith: Why where you going through her things?
Derek: I was trying to find space for my clothes. Your closet is full.
Meredith: Oh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cristina: You haven't read any of it?
Meredith: No, what if I'm in it? I don't wanna hear what she thought of me. I heard enough of it already.
Cristina: What's worse if you're in it or you're not in it?
Meredith: I don't know! But I mean, see, why is he in the study, rooting around in closets? He's trying to dig up my mothers ghost.
Cristina: I think because you invited him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Derek: I didn't read the diary. I just found it. Put it on the table.
Mark: I would've read it.
Derek: Every time I actually do something to move into the house, she freaks out.
Mark: What are you gonna do with the trailer?
Derek: No.
Mark: C'mon...
Derek: There's a very real possibility she kicks me out in a week. I'm not letting go of the trailer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Derek: I can always move back to the trailer.
Meredith: No I want you here. I may not be always so grateful about it, but I want you here. You need a place for your things. It's not an unreasonable request. You can use this as your den or your office or whatever.
Derek: But it's your mom's den.
Meredith: She isn't here. You are.
Derek (kisses her passionately): What about you? You need some place, to get away to...
Meredith: Well I can always go to Cristina's of whatever...
Derek: I think I have better idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We like to think we're fearless, eager to explore unknown lands and soak up new experiences, but the fact is, we're always terrified. Maybe the terror is part of the attraction. Some people go to horror movies. We cut things open. Dive into dark water. And at the end of the day, isn't that what you'd rather to hear about? If you've got one drink and one friend and 45 minutes. Slow rides make for boring stories. A little calamity. Now that's worth talking about.
