[opening voice-over] Stuff comes apart. An eggshell's never gonna come back together. A window will never unbreak. It's called the second law of thermodynamics. It's also called life. Stuff rarely comes together, but it will always come apart.

There are all sorts of reasons to like me.
Name one.
[silence]
I have to go.
My mother wouldn't let me pierce my ears until I was ten. She told me masturbating made Jesus cry, and nail polish was for prostitutes. Now she wants stripper boobs?
You don't have any right to an opinion, and you certainly don't have the right to bully me.
Bully you?!
You don't have the right to give me ultimatums about when to come home and make up my mind.
Okay...
For better or for worse, that's what you said. Well, guess what, this is the for worse. And you don't have the right to just decide that I don't have myself together, okay? You don't make me the one who's wrong. I'm tired of being the messed up one, okay, because I'm not. You are at least as messed up as me.
You disappeared!
You are suffocating me!
That is unfair.
Really? I would love to ask Cristina how suffocated she felt by you, by your needs, by your idea of a baby, by what you want.
I don't have a good reason. I tried to come up with one. So then I thought, "Well, why do I like her?" And I don't know. From the first time I saw you, you were at the OR board. You were talking with Pierce, and she said something that made you laugh, and I couldn't move. And then I had to wait for you to write your name on the board because I just needed to know who you were. So, I don't have a good reason for you to like me. I didn't even try to like you. I didn't want to. And I certainly don't want to have to think about you all the time, trying to come in early, see your name on the board, come up with that one thing that's gonna make you smile so your eyes do that thing they do. Anyway, so that's why I joke so much and to keep from having to say anything like this. So, I don't have a good reason. I'm sorry. I wish I did.
Okay, so you should ask me out to dinner.
Do you want to go out to dinner?
Yes.
[closing voice-over] Everything comes apart at some point. We all will. It's the law. It's what we're designed to do. We have to face it and accept it, and try to hold it together, for as long as we can.
