MeredithSuch a good dog! Who's Mommy's good boy? You're such a good boy. [Turns and looks at Izzie and George] What are you guys doing in there, we're gonna be late.
We need to talk about the dog.
That's not a dog, it's a hyena that escaped from the zoo, dressed in dog clothing.
Whatever. I don't chew up his clothes. I don't urinate on his bed. I don't try to mount him from behind.
Meredith
People, he's our dog. We love our dog. He loves us.
He tries to mount you from behind?
Meredith
Yes.
Okay, what kind of feeling?
Meredith
Like I might die.
Today? Tomorrow? In 50 years? We're all going to die eventually. Now we're late! Let's go!
Meredith
Cristina. C'mon!
This is me being supportive.
Meredith
Really?
Yeah, fine, I'm totally supportive. Go.
Meredith
OK. The man I love has a wife and then he chooses her over me. And that wife takes my dog — OK, she didn't take the dog, I gave it to her, but I didn't mean to give it to her, I meant to give it to him — but that does not change the fact that she's got my McDreamy. And my McDog. She's got my McLife! And what have I got? [sits up] You know, I can't remember the last time we kissed. 'Cause you never think the last time is the last time, you think there'll be more. You think you have forever, but you don't. Plus my conditioner decided to stop working and I think I have brittle bones. I just - I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are gonna change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed and feel like I might die today.
[throws back blanket] Whatever - everybody has problems. Now get your ass out of bed and get to work. NOW! Move! Move! Move! [Opens the door to find Izzie and George] We're good to go.
Meredith
Cristina. I have my hand on a bomb. I'm freaking out. And most importantly, I really have to pee. Tell me anything.
He told me he loved me. Last night, he thought I was sleeping, but I heard him say it.
Meredith
Burke loves you.
Yeah. [To Dylan] Mind your own business.
Meredith
Burke loves you!
Yeah everybody has problems.
Meredith
Well are you gonna say it back, or-
Of course not! He didn't say it to me, he said it to sleeping me! Reciprocity is not required. Besides he might blow up.
Meredith
Excellent point.
[the gurney hits a bump in the floor]
DDylan
Alright everybody. Let's just keep placing one foot in front of the other. [gives Cristina an 'I told you so' look] Nice and slow. Alright, Meredith? We're almost there.
Meredith
Okay.
DDylan
We're almost there. Nice and easy, ready? Alright let's go. Nice and slow.
You had to say you were going to die today.
Meredith
I told you.
Meredith
Hey.
Hey. You almost died today.
Meredith
Yeah, I almost died today. [Derek is at a loss for words and starts heading to the door] I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was I'm going to die today and I can't remember our last kiss. Which, is pathetic but the last time we were together and happy, I... want to be able to remember that, and I can't, Derek. I can't remember.
I'm glad you didn't die today. [Starts to leave but stops] It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little 'Dartmouth' T-shirt you look so good in, the one with the hole at the back of the neck. You'd just washed you hair and you smelled like some kind of... flower. I was running late for surgery, you said you were going to see me later, and you lean to me, put you hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. You know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. And you went back to reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed. [Derek starts to leave]
Meredith
Lavender. My hair smelled like lavender... from my conditioner.
Lavender. Huh. [Smiles then leaves]
Why is he suturing his own face?
Because he's Mark Sloan, he's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the east coast.
That's the guy Addison was sleeping with?
You can't really blame her, can you?
Meredith
McSexy wants an X-ray to check for fractures and I think it's a bad idea if I take him.
Meredith
No?
MCMeredith and Cristina
No.
Meredith
McSteamy.
Just choking back some... McVomit.
All right. So you slept with O'Malley. Get over it already.
Meredith
He told you?
Uh, no. [Laughs] I was just kidding! I means it's not like I should be surprised.
Meredith
Why not?
Because when your life is sucky, you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It's your thing. Whatever. I find it charming.
Meredith
You sleep with inappropriate women when you're sober.
One inappropriate woman. And Izzie forgave me for that. O'Malley is not going to get over this.
Meredith
Izzie hasn't forgiven you!
Yes, she has. We're together.
Meredith
No you're not. Izzie may be sleeping with you, but she'll never see you the way she saw you before you slept with Olivia.
Why are you trying to piss me off?
Meredith
You're trying to suggest that it's forgivable for you to sleep with Olivia, but not forgivable for me to sleep with George.
[George walks in]
Meredith
George!
Wow, when I'm wrong about someone.
Meredith
No, I...
Meredith
No, George! It's not... it's not what you think!
You chill! You chill! I'm not... I'm not going to chill.
Meredith
George, I...
The fetus is freaking out.
I can see that! Why are freaking out?
You think someone is your friend. [Cristina walks in] You know? And you think at the very least you'd respect my privacy!
Baby boy is freaking out.
CICristina and Izzie
Why is he freaking out?
Meredith
George, can we at least talk?
I don't want to talk! Not to you! I wanted to keep my mouth shut. And if you hadn't been running away from me every time you see me, you would know that!
Meredith
Okay, you're right, but can we just talk now?
You want to talk now, because you told everyone that we had sex!
Meredith
No.
DAMMIT! [trips and falls down stairwell]
Meredith
I never should have told you about George.
No, it's fine. I'm glad I know about him. And the vet. You really get around.
Meredith
What did you just say to me?
Meredith
I don't remember ever asking you to forgive me.
So was the knitting a phase? Who's next? Alex? Cause I hear he likes to sleep around. You two have that in common.
[Derek goes to leave. Meredith grabs him and he turns around]
Meredith
You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done, so all the boys, and all the bars, and all the obvious daddy issues. Who cared, because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.
This thing with us is finished. It's over.
Meredith
Finally.
Meredith
It is done.
[Derek walks off, leaving Meredith alone. She begins to break down as she leaves]
OOlivia
I didn't know what to do. I didn't think you guys would want me to go to the chief, but...
OOlivia
She's in there with him.
[They walk in to see Izzie lying in bed with Denny]
I think it was a stroke. He was prone to blood clots. A clot could have formed on his sutures, traveled to his brain, it only takes a second.
Meredith
Izz...
Dr. Hahn did a beautiful job on the surgery. But I don't know why I didn't think of blood clots. He died all alone. He was alone.
There is nothing you could have done.
I changed my dress three times. I wanted to look nice. I would have been here sooner. But I couldn't figure out which dress to wear.
Izzie, we shouldn't be in here.
Meredith
Izz, there are things that they need, they need to move him.
You can't stay here, I know you want to...
Can you please, please, just get out? I want to be alone with Denny.
Izz, it's not Denny. The minute his heart stopped beating he stopped being Denny. Now I know you love him, but he also loved you. And a guy that loves you like that, he doesn't want you to do this to yourself. Because it's not Denny, not anymore.
An hour ago he was proposing. And now... and now he's going to the morgue. Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't it the most ridiculous piece of crap you've ever...
[Izzie starts sobbing. Alex picks her up, cradling her and sits down on a chair holding and rocking her while she sobs]
Meredith
[pause, glances around] Why are you all looking at me?
Well, this is familiar territory for you.
Meredith
There is nothing familiar abut this! Unfamiliar! Denny died. The man she loves, died.
Yeah, but you're all dark and twisty inside.
Meredith
Dark and twisty?
What, with the Alzheimers thing and the father you don't talk to.
And the tequila thing and the inappropriate men thing.
You are dark and twisty inside, Meredith, and now Izzie is dark and twisty inside.
Meredith
So all of a sudden I'm the president of people with crappy lives?
Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd is out sick, you can cover the pit, or you can... you can tell me whose damn panties are on the bulletin board! [everybody in the background starts snickering]
[whispers to Meredith] Is it yours?
This is a hospital. People, serious work happens here. We save lives! [interns laugh] Oh, something funny? Whose're these?
Meredith
This is bad. This isn't good.
You better claim them. She thinks they're mine!
Meredith
Claim them? No.
Yeah I know it's one of you. It's always one of mine. Always. So, tell me. Which one of you left your damn drawers on my surgical floor?
Meredith
Enough! This is NOT dating. I want moonlight, and flowers, and candy and people trying to feel me up. Nobody is trying to feel me up. Nobody is even looking at me. I'm an intern, do the two of you have any idea how much effort it takes to do all this? I am waxed and plucked and I have a clean top on. And the two of you are looking at each other.
Meredith
No, my fantasy is not two men looking at each other.
Meredith
No talking until one of you figures out how to put on a date. I want heat! I want romance! Damn it, I want to feel like a freaking lady!
Meredith
I'm not pregnant.
I didn't think I was pregnant when I was pregnant either. But the abdominal pain, fever and the nonstop vomiting?
Meredith
I'm not pregnant.
You don't know who the father is, do you?
Meredith
It would have to be Derek's, there's no way it could be Finn's.
You haven't had sex with the vet yet? You gotta get out of that relationship immediately.
Meredith
I can't be pregnant, can I?
Meredith
Was I this mean to you when you were pregnant?
Meredith
[to George] Oh, oh, on the table, keep me draped. Too many people have seen me naked already. I'd like to keep whatever dignity I have left. [sees Mark] McSteamy. McSteamy! Yoo hoo!
That's what you're calling me now? McSteamy?
Meredith
Yeah, but I don't think you're supposed to know that.
How's my favorite dirty mistress?
Meredith
Haven't you heard? Now I'm an adulterous whore!
