She signed a DNR. She signed a fricking DNR and made me promise me she'd come out of this with a life, not in a hospital bed, not with no brain. I had to promise she'd have a life. You wanna know what happens if she can't make any new memories? Forget about being a doctor. She's going to need round the clock baby sitters. We get an apartment together, she can't ever find her way to the damn toilet, track her on her ankle in case god forbids, she wanders out the front door!
Look at Alex. He's in there working so hard all day, and she doesn't know. And, if she stays like this she may never know how much he loves her. And that girl Amanda, she's in there loving a stranger. She thinks that's her Prince Charming. I mean, he's probably gonna die today. Chances are. So yeah, I'm gonna go get married, because I think it's important to take the time to tell the people you love how much you love them while they can hear you. I love you Cristina Yang. [smiles]
I like kids, and I like their parents, and I like to see them smile. So I like going to get them pudding and playing games with them. Because it makes attaching their arms way more fun. I don't like being used. And I like being lied to even less.
That is not the kind of life I want to model for my child. That is not what I want him to believe married love is. And I know what's possible, I know what's out there for me because you taught me well. You and mom showed me what true love looks like, so I chose not to settle, and I'm happier for it. Even if I'm alone at Christmas. My child is healthy, and I'm happy. --You know, part of my happiness is the fact that I got to repair a woman's bowel and save her life today. And that's God's work, which makes this an appropriate Christmas dinner conversation. --I'm happy, and my child is healthy, and that's enough for me today, Dad. That's enough.
Where have you been? You just disappeared. I left you, like, ten messages. Are you drunk? [Owen grabs her and kisses her, she pulls away] Wait, what? What? What?
You make me sad. You think that surgery is going to make you feel... you think that a successful career is gonna make you happy. You think you know things; you know things and nothing else matters. No one else matters. People do matter. I matter. We... we matter. So you don't get to toss me aside. I won't let you.
How did you...? What...? You have grate marks burned into your ass.
Cristina
Yeah, vent marks. But same difference. [whispering] I was busy having sex. Will you please just dress the wound. Owen's being very caveman-like. It's hot, vaguely disturbing, but mostly hot. I- I think he might still be a little upset that I offered him to Teddy.
No, it's not a bad idea. It's happy and easy. You know much mental energy Mark took up? You know, I am telling you, ending it is the best thing that could have happened to me. And for him! Do you know how much happier he'd be if he could just move on?
Sure, he'll sleep with her. He slept with Addison. He'll screw anything that moves, but what, I'm supposed to check into a convent? Why is he hanging on like this?
Cristina
[sarcastic] You're just that good, Little Grey. There's no getting over you.
I know what you mean. I don't want to... I can't... It's just... He doesn't know, who he loves and if it's not me then... I don't want to talk about it. Let's talk about something else.
