[opening voice over] There's this thing I used to do when I was a kid, to my mother's VCR. I'd take it apart, piece by piece, then put it back together again. But inevitably, there was always a piece or two left over, something I didn't quite know what to do with. So what do you do with that piece? Do you try to fit it back in? Do you try to make it work? Or do you decide you can live without that missing piece?
“With or Without You” · Season 11, Episode 17
In this episode: Meredith Grey (4), Derek Shepherd (1), Alex Karev (1), Miranda Bailey (1), Stephanie (1)
Bribery, Edwards? You think bribery is an appropriate standard of practice in this hospital, bribing for surgeries?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You tried to bribe your way onto that surgery down there.
Warren. Sleeping with the enemy.
You demean yourself, and you demean medicine.
I'm sorry. And it doesn't matter, anyway. It didn't work.
$50? $50. Do you know how much a full ear replantation would have gone for in my day? $100, easy. $120, even, plus two weeks of night call. You add in inflation, you should have offered him $175, at least. $50. We can't even go to dinner for $50.
I'm mad at you.
No, you're not.
I am.
No, you're mad at Derek. You want to take it out on me, go on. You want to yell and hit and scream 'cause things are hard at home, okay. You want to be a mess, be a mess. I don't care. I can take it.
I am calling post-it. Zola and Bailey and tumors on the walls and ferry boat scrub caps. I thought D.C. was everything. And I was wrong. You... You. You're everything. I love you, and I'm not gonna stop loving you. Meredith, I can't live without you. I don't want to live without you. And I'm gonna do everything in my power to prove it.
I can live without you. But I don't want to. I don't ever want to.
[ending voice over] When we go without certain things long enough, it's easy to forget just how much we need them. We forget what we had once. We forget what it's like to live with a thing, not that we need, but that we want. That's why it's so important for us to remind ourselves, for us to remember, just because we can live without something, it doesn't mean we have to.
