Meredith [voiceover]: To make it - really make it - as a surgeon - it takes major commitment. We have to be willing to pick up that scalpel and make a cut that may or may not do more damage than good. It's all about being committed, because if we're not we have no business picking up that scalpel in the first place.
“Let The Angels Commit” · Season 3, Episode 6
In this episode: Meredith Grey (2), Callie Torres (1), Izzie Stevens (1), Mark Sloan (1), George O'Malley (1)
[Last night Meredith mistook Derek's sister Nancy for his one-night stand]
Derek had a woman in his trailer last night. She was ugly. Very ugly. Except she was tall and beautiful and he was naked.
Oh. Uh, McDreamy was doing the McNasty with a McHottie? That McBastard.
[Later, Izzie and Meredith meet Nancy, who is visiting Seattle Grace.]
[to Meredith] McDreamy's sister is McBitchy.
NNancy
What are you doing here, Mark? Are you trying to torture him?
He's my family, Nancy. Plus I needed a change of pace. [Nancy gives him an unconvinced look] Plus I slept with my tennis partner's wife and he went out and bought a gun.
NNancy
There it is.
[to George] I'm out of my element here, I, I break bones for a living, I, I, I used to live in the basement, most days I wear last night's eyeliner to work, I don't give a crap what other people think of me! Because I am a happily independent, successful woman and I like it that way, only when you say stuff like this, [sighs] it just makes things too hard. So please, don't chase me anymore, unless you're ready to catch me.
[voiceover] There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised by the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make. True commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully.
