Chapter 21
April: "We should be gone by now." she comes out of the bus that's taking the residents to the airport for their boards
Owen: "The flight's not for three hours. You're fine."
April: "I-I'd be fine if people showed up on time."
Sky: "No one is going to be late. San Francisco is a short flight away. There's no reason to be nervous, okay? Oh. Not again." she sighs when April starts crying and she pulls her away from everyone
April: "I'm sorry. It's just that my parents called me this morning to wish me luck, and they told me that their church is praying for me, and what-what-what if I don't pass? One in five people don't pass."
Owen: "Kepner, stop. You're a trauma surgeon. We're soldiers. We fight battles harder than this test every single day, and we win, okay? So dry your tears. I want you to repeat after me. I am a soldier."
April: "I'm a s-soldier."
Owen: "No, no. I want to hear you mean it. Repeat. I am a soldier."
April: "I am a soldier." she says louder while still crying
Sky: "Now get on the bus."
April: "Okay." she goes back inside and Sky gets a page from Derek making her go back inside
➿
Mark: "Now have salmon for dinner. And tell room service to make sure it's not frozen. You lose omega-3s if it's frozen. Avery, are you listening to me?"
Jackson: "I'm trying not to." he sighs putting his phone away
Mark: "All right, how are you on cash? I figured you needed some."
Jackson: "Uh..." he groans as he walks away from him
➿
Derek: "They called ten minutes ago. She started throwing up right after I dropped her off."
Meredith: "She's really warm. Maybe I should stay."
Sky: "No, babies get sick. It sucks, but it's the disgusting circle of life. We have trained too hard. I have personally put in hours of my life that I will never get back, so you are not failing just because your mommy hormones are all "Code orange."
Derek: "Go to the airport. Pass your boards."
Meredith: "My baby is sick."
Derek: "Well, lucky for her, her father's a doctor."
Sky: "Takes a village. And Zola's village is chock-full of doctors. Okay? She will be fine. Just go. Make me proud."
Meredith: "All right. Mama loves you, Zo. You're my Zozo. I love you. I'll be home soon." she hands Zola over to Derek as she hurries out the room
Derek: "Yeah, shh. Hey, Rivers, thank you very much. Do you mind looking after her for a minute? I gotta make some calls."
Sky: "Yeah, no. No." she backs away from him making him look at her with raised eyebrows "Sofia had that bug last week and then Hayes had it, so...I'm not getting anywhere near that ever again if I don't have to." she motions to Zola with her hands
Derek: "What happened to,"We're a village"?"
Sky: "Yeah well this village" she points to herself "Will be here for you when she gets better. Good luck." she pats him on the back a little before walking off
