[voiceover] OK. Anyone who says you can sleep when you die, tell them to come talk to me after a few months as an intern. Of course, it's not just the job that keeps us up all night. I mean, if life's so hard already, why do we bring more trouble down on ourselves? What's up with the need to hit the self-destruct button?
“The Self Destruct Button” · Season 1, Episode 7
In this episode: George O'Malley (3), Meredith Grey (2), Izzie Stevens (2), Derek Shepherd (1), Cristina Yang (1), Alex Karev (1)
You get any sleep?
She could oil the bedsprings, as a courtesy, or at least buy a padded headboard.
So, who's the guy?
You think it was just one guy doing all that work?
Do you mind if I don't think about that?
Aw, you jealous?
Not jealous.
Well, I am. But at least I know she'll be having a long day at work.
[They see Derek sneak out of the house.]
Well, at least we know brain surgery isn't his only skill.
Yang. I'm scrubbing in on a hemospherectomy with Shepherd.
[gasps] Get out! I would kill for that.
We're cutting out half a girl's brain, and it's going to work. It's outrageous. Almost makes it hard to hate him.
Why do you hate him?
Oh, no reason.
Oh, you know about him and Meredith?
You know?
When are you gonna figure out that I know everything?
[to Izzie who is walking up the stairs] She knows.
Oh, about doctorcest?
It's been going on for, like, ever.
Wha... seriously?
And you didn't tell us?
Oh, you're a gossip, huh?
I am not!
I am!
He's about to go into major brain surgery on no sleep? Not very responsible.
Jealous much? Sex all night isn't about being responsible.
No, it's about sex all night. I can't believe you're not more pissed off about this, you of all people.
Well, she works hard all day. She's good at her job, why should you care how she unwinds? I mean you like to bake all night, some people like to drink, others like an occasional screaming orgasm.
[Walking up] Yeah we do.
Let me explain.
It's fine!
No, there is a code among doctors. We're not supposed to ask each other questions. Not within the walls of this hospital.
OK, I was out of line.
No, you weren't. I was. I was out of line. Somebody should have taken responsibility. And it should have been the guy doing the cutting. It should have been me. You didn't deserve what happened to you today. You did the right thing, code or no code.
[voiceover] Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know, maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.
