[voiceover] In general, people can be categorized in one of two ways those who love surprises and those who don't. I don't. I've never met a surgeon that enjoys a surprise, because as surgeons, we like to be in the know. We have to be in the know, because when we aren't, people die and lawsuits happen. Am I rambling? I think I'm rambling. Okay, so my point, actually, and I do have one, has nothing to do with surprises or death or lawsuits, or even surgeons. My point is this: whoever said "What you don't know can't hurt you", was a complete and total moron. Because for most people I know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world. [Sees two people with a pole cutting through them.] Okay, fine. Maybe it's the second worst.
“Into You like A Train” · Season 2, Episode 6
In this episode: Meredith Grey (2), Cristina Yang (1), Izzie Stevens (1), Addison (1), Preston Burke (1)
Cristina, you paged me?
If I don't find this leg, the chief is going to cut me from this program, and I cannot go back home, Burke. It is too sunny in Los Angeles. It's sunny every day.
You paged me because?
I need you to help me find the leg! I checked the board, you're not in surgery, right? You're my boyfriend! I mean, I know I don't have much experience with this kind of thing but, aren't boyfriends supposed to help in situations like this?
Cristina, when we're on duty I can't be your boyfriend.
OK, so, uh, when we're on duty, I can have sex with someone else?
[pause] Dr. Yang, I'm walking away now.
So, have you made a decision yet, Dr. Stevens?
I'm sorry?
Whether or not you're going to hate me. You're Meredith's friend? I'm the wicked witch who came in and ruined her life and cheated on Doctor... wait, what is it that you guys call him?
McDreamy...
Right. God, doesn't that embarrass him?
Yeah, I think it does.
Yeah, well, by all rights you should hate me.
I guess.
Except that I'm going to be staying in town for a while.
You are?
Yes, and you show a real gift with my specialty. And I have a lot to teach, if you want to learn. So.
So?
So, when you decide how important it is for you to hate me... let me know.
[voiceover] As surgeons, there are so many things we have to know. We have to know we have what it takes. We have to know how to take care of our patients and how to take care of each other. Eventually, we even have to figure out how to take care of ourselves. As surgeons we have to be in the know. But as human beings, sometimes it's better to stay in the dark, because in the dark there may be fear, but there's also hope.
