[voice over] They hit you out of nowhere. When bad things come, they come suddenly, without warning. We rarely get to see the catastrophe coming, no matter how well we try to prepare for it.
“Readiness Is All” · Season 9, Episode 23
In this episode: Meredith Grey (3), Derek Shepherd (1), Alex Karev (1), Owen Hunt (1), Heather (1)
When you and Derek adopted Zola, how did you know? I mean, how did you really know that that was something you were gonna do?
Why? Are you thinking––
Yeah, forget it. Just forget it.
[Later]
You asked me about Zola today. We just knew. You know, Derek knew first, of course, because he's Derek, and it took me a little longer because I was scared. One day, I just picked her up, and I just knew. I don't know how else to explain it. I looked at her, and she was my daughter. I just knew.
Oh, damn it. The CSF is leaking. This is worse than I thought. The crack has torn the dura.
It's pretty grody.
"Grody" is not a thing we say. List the possible complications.
Um, death, that's pretty solid. Strokes, re-clots, being a potato, goofiness, loopiness, simpletonism.
[annoyed] Brooks.
Difficulty with speech, memory, and vision. Why are you making me talk so much today?
Because you're weird, and it bugs me. But you also have a natural talent for this. And the weirdness is there because you're covering up a real lack of confidence in your natural talent. So now it is my job to make you feel confident and less weird. Ok?
Whatever twists your knickers.

Oh, you wanna be my friend now?
Me? Nah. I got enough friends. Cristina Yang, she's my friend. She owns the hospital. Derek Shepherd, owns the hospital. Meredith Grey, her name's on the friggin' door. And these are my friends. And they don't like a guy who hits his girlfriend. Neither do I.

She attacked me. What was I supposed to do?
You're supposed to take it. A girl hits you, you take it, or you walk away.
[voice over] We do our very best, but sometimes it's just not good enough. We buckle our seatbelts, we wear a helmet, we stick to the lighted paths, we try to be safe. We try so hard to protect ourselves, but it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Cause when the bad things come, they come out of nowhere. The bad things come suddenly, with no warning. But we forget that sometimes that's how the good things come too.
