[Derek and Meredith are kissing in bed with Zola sleeping in between them.]
Derek
There's a baby in the bed.
I know there's a baby in the bed.
Derek
[grins] There's no baby in the shower.
[grins] There is no baby in the shower.
Derek
[excitedly] All right.
[Derek and Meredith get out of bed and head to the bathroom]
[looks at Zola's bath toys] There's a baby in the shower, too.
Derek
[continues kissing Meredith] Oh, come on. Just look the other way.
I can't do it in front of the duckies.
Derek
Yes, you can. Do it in front of the duckies.
Our patient's seizures stopped, and you know why?
Derek
No.
Because I found this teratoma on her ovary.
Derek
Well, you know, you could've told me this at dinner. You didn't have to show me a chopped up ovary.
Little sucker thought it could hide from me, but it couldn't. It took a while, but I finally figured out where it was, and I went in and nailed it.
Derek
[grins] You are so sexy when you're looking at a teratoma.
Derek
You know what might be fun?
I have no idea what might be fun.
Derek
A play date with Zola and Tuck.
Oh. Uh...well, Tuck's 5, and Zola's, what, 1?
Derek
1 and a quarter, but it's more like she's 3. She's very mature.
Well, uh, playing for Tuck means throwing things, breaking things, um, shooting things at people and things. I don't think Zola would survive a play date with Tuck.
Derek
Yeah. It's probably not a good idea.
Derek
Come back to me.
Derek
You miss it.
What's to miss about neuro?
Derek
Me.
[Later]
Derek
[grins] Ah, Dr. Grey. So glad you could join us.
[drearily] I've been kidnapped.
Derek
[to Lexie] She misses me.
She's not even on neuro anymore.
Derek
Well, she's thinking about coming back.
Derek
[smirks] She is. She's remembering the magic.
Derek
How's Julia? You impregnate her yet?
I was all ready to, but then Lexie... she told me she was in love with me.
Derek
Oh... What did you say?
I said "Thank you for your candor."
Derek
"Thank you for your candor"?
What was I supposed to do?
Derek
Well, I don't know, kiss her?
Julia's away on a conference, I'm not a cheater. [Derek gives him a look] Usually.
You're a physician. Is this really the first time you missed a lunch and the crossword because of a surgery?
Well, this parasite's important to me.
You know what? Fine. Let's do it right now. Give me the damn crossword.
Oh, no. Nobody's ever gonna forget it. Where is Dr. Warren's bag?
Derek
And this is why you don't work with your girlfriend.
Here we go. Oh, this is gonna be so great. It's way better than a once-in-a-lifetime, bone-eating parasite. Let's see. One down.
Oh, no, no, no. No help from you. I'm too excited. This is what I live for. Let's see "Peruvian mountain range". Oh, Andes. Five, uh-huh. "Planet with water, four letters". Oh, Mars. Duh. Uh,"fancy sauce"? Fancy... ooh. Remoulade.
What? No, no. I'm on a roll. Come on. Hey, this can't be the Sunday, 'cause this is way too easy. What's ... Oh, hey, this one, 21 across. "My question to you." Hmm.
I'm asking you to put it away.
Derek
He's asking you nicely, Dr. Bailey.
Oh, no, no, no. When he doesn't get his way, he holds on to it in his cheek like a squirrel with a nut. We are doing the crossword. What is "my question to you"? It's a bunch of letters. Um ... oh, maybe it's a phrase. "My question to you," anybody?
Derek
It's 13 letters?
No, I'm looking at it. It's 13.
No, it's 14. Count again.
I just counted. What, do you have X-ray vision from across the room?
"Will you marry me" is my question to you. And the reason why it's so easy is because I made the crossword. Took me two damn months not to mention getting a mockup made of "The New York Times." The phrase has 14 letters. "Will," four,"you," seven, "marry," 12,"me" ... 14.
[Derek steps into the OR and is greeted with applause from his surgical team.]
Derek
Torres.
I had nothing to do with this. [Derek smiles at her] Okay. I had a little to do with this.
Derek
Well, thank you everyone. Thank you very much. It's really no big deal. [looks around at everyone staring at him] What?
Derek
It's a beautiful day to save lives.
Derek
That's a big tumor.
Derek
She didn't even tell me about it. I found out through one of my interns. My wife is bubble wrapping me.
Shepherd, you have a reputation for needing to be bubble wrapped.
Derek
Excuse me?
You fight for your patients against the worst possible odds, but when things get messy personally, you're gone off to the woods to drink and grow a beard. And with everything that's happened and this lawsuit keeping it all alive, maybe she just worried that the slightest little thing is gonna make you run off to that trailer and leave her alone in the house you gave her, not sleeping at night because whichever room she lays down in, she just can't get away from the fact that you're just not there.
Derek
[walking into the house, sees Meredith] Oh, hi.
Derek
So... talked to Clemens, he'll refer the tumor patient to someone over at Seattle Pres.
Great. Uh, take a look at the shirt I bought Zola. It... it's... it's in the bag on the counter.
Derek
Oh, Meredith. Guys don't get all goo-hoo over baby clothes.
Derek
What is this? [He stares at the t-shirt, surprised. Meredith gets up and he shows her the writing on the t-shirt, which says: 'World's best big sister]
It's only 3 weeks, so I shouldn't even be telling you. I mean... I still have a hostile uterus and terrible things are constantly happening to us, which is why I haven't told anyone, I haven't even told Christina, so... if you tell anyone, I... I swear I will kick you out of this house that you built.
Derek
Don't worry. And good things happen to us. We're gonna have another baby!
We are gonna have another baby!
Now the rest of you will each get a chance to examine our patient before we move on to the skills lab portion of the contest. Dr. Avery, will you bring in our patient?
Now Dr. Torres and I will be performing a nerve transplant on Dr. Shepherd's injured hand. We need an intern we can trust.
And that's saying a lot, because we don't trust any of you people yet. Wilson, you're up.
[nervously examines Derek's hand] Oh...
Derek
I'm not gonna bite you, Wilson.
[Callie calls Derek's hospital room.]
Derek
[groggily] No, not really.
Oh, sorry. I just--I wanted to check your post-op vitals. How's your BP?
Derek
Uh, you know who would know that would be a nurse. Why don't you call a nurse?
Derek
Why are you whispering?
Oh, I'm in a hotel bathroom. And I'm about to have sex For the first time in months.
Derek
[eyes widen immediately] I'm hanging up now.
Derek
I think you're letting me win.
SRShane Ross
You're a smart man.
Derek
I am.
So am I. That's why I'm absolutely letting you win. Whupping your ass wouldn't be a smart move, especially since you're a competitive guy who likes to win.
Derek
Do you know who else is a competitive guy, Ross? A neurosurgeon. I thought you had what it takes to be one.
Mm. See? I am a smart man, and you are now goading me. But you won't like it when you lose.
Derek
Oh, "when" I lose?
You'll be angry and never want to see my face. That won't help me on my quest to become you.
Derek
Yeah, I've told you, it's creepy when you say that.
