The Game
They say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't.
My mother was one of the greats. Me, on the other hand- - i'm kind of screwed.
---------------------------------------------------------
Derek Shepherd: unh
This is, uh...

Meredith Grey: Humiliating on so many levels. You have to go.

Derek Shepherd: Why don't you just come back down here, and we'll pick up where we left off?

Meredith Grey:No, seriously. You have to go. I'm late, wich isn't what you want to be on your first day of work, so...

Derek Shepherd: So, uh, you actually live here?

Meredith Grey: No

Derek Shepherd: Oh

Meredith Grey: Yes, kind of

Derek Shepherd: Oh
It's nice-- a little dusty-- odd, but it's nice.
So, how do you kind of live here?

Meredith Grey: I moved two weeks ago from Boston. It was my mother's house. I'm selling it.

Derek Shepherd: Oh, I'm sorry.
Meredith Grey: For what?

Derek Shepherd: You say "was"

Meredith Grey: Oh, my mother's not dead. She's-- you know what? We don't have to do the thing.
Derek Shepherd: Oh, we can do anything you want.

Meredith Grey: No, the thing -- exchange the details, pretend we care.
I'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower, and when I get back down here, you won't be here, so, um..
Goodbye, um...

Derek Shepherd: Derek.

Meredith Grey: Derek right. Meredith.

Derek Shepherd: Meredith.

Meredith Grey:Yeah. mm-hmm.

Derek Shepherd: Nice meeting you
Meredith Grey: Bye, Derek.

Webber: Each of you comes here today hopeful, wanting in on the game. A month ago, you where in med school, being taught by doctors. Today... you are the doctors.

The 7 years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point.

Look around you. Say hello to your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave.

This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play... that's up to you.

Meredith Grey: Like I said, I'm screwed.

Okay, Martin, Robinson, Bond, Hawkins.

Meredith Grey: Only 6 women out of 20.

Cristina Yang: Yeah. I hear one of them's a model.
Seriously, that's gonna help with the respect thing?

Meredith Grey: You're Cristina, right?

Patton, Monroe...

Cristina Yang: Which resident are you assigned to? I got Bailey.

Meredith Grey: The nazi? Me too.

George O'Malley: You got the nazi? so did I.
At least we'll be tortured together, right?
I'm George O'Malley.
Uh, we met at the mixer. You had on a black dress with a slit up the side, strappy sandals, and...
Now you thing i'm gay.
No, i'm not gay.
It's --It's just that you were--
you were very unforgettable.

O'Malley, Yang, Grey, Stevens.

And I'm totally forgettable.

Cristina Yang: Bailey?
