[voice over] They say ignorance is bliss because once you know about the tumor or the prognosis, you can’t go back. Will you be strong or will you fall apart? It’s hard to predict so don’t worry about it. Enjoy the time you have before the news comes. Yep, ignorance is bliss.
S9 E11The End is The Beginning is the End
S9 E12Walking on a Dream
[voice over] Patients who undergo an amputation often feel a sensation where the missing limb was as if it’s still there. The syndrome is called phantom limb. It’s as if the body can’t accept that a terrible trauma has occurred. The mind is trying to make the body complete again. Patients who experience phantom limb report many different sensations but by far the most common is pain.
[Meredith's intern for the day Shane Ross knocks on the door of the on-call room while she and Derek are having a quickie]
Dr. Shepherd?
Ross?
Sorry to bother you, sir, but I was hoping to scrub in with you today, and I'm supposed to be on Dr. Grey's service. So I was wondering - if maybe you could talk to your wife for me.
[seethes] I'm gonna kill him. [flings open the door] No, Ross, he cannot talk to his wife for you, because you are with me, and we have a consult with a pregnant lady with abdominal pain. So go do the workup, and I will see you there. [slams the door]
[Meredith kisses Derek a few times and rushes off]
[grins to himself] Ahhh...I am liking the stupid hormones.
Do. Not. Say. Anything.
I am so so sorry.
Wow. Is this you not saying anything?! Go away and do not come back without a liver.
Um, can I get you a tissue?
GO!!!!!!!!
Dr. Bailey. Can I please get another intern?
What's wrong with Ross?
A lot.
The kid made a tiny mistake.
Because he's an idiot. If I have to work with him one more second, I'm probably gonna kill him.
Uh, you think I didn't want to kill you? You cut L-VAD wires, and yet there you stand. So be merciful and suck it up.
[voice over] The body can be stubborn when it comes to accepting change. The mind holds out hope that the body can be whole again and the mind will always fight for hope, tooth and nail. Until it finds a way of understanding its new reality and accepts that what is gone is gone forever.
S9 E13Bad Blood
[voice over] We’ve all heard the buzz words, streamline, optimize integrate, adapt. Every day someone comes up with a new strategy or tool or technology to increase our efficiency. The idea is to make our lives easier but the question is, does it?
[voice over] To really be efficient, you have to eliminate what doesn’t work. You have to figure out what is important and hold on tight to the things that matter most.
ACAlana Cahill
If you need to blame instead of thank me, I'm fine with that, because I will know who saved it [the hospital]. I've saved a dozen before just like this one and no one thanked me for those either.
S9 E14The Face of Change
[voice over] I'm not big into change. In oncology, when a normal cell changes into something malignant, it's called cellular transformation. The damn cells turn toxic right in front of your eyes. So as far as I'm concerned, transformation sucks.
Brand ambassador? What does that even mean? You get to wear a funny hat and cut things with oversized scissors?
All I know is, Cahill creeps me out.
[Jo and Alex go to the living room and see Jackson and Stephanie making out on the couch.]
That creeps me out. Who comes over to somebody else's house and starts sucking face?
You invited 'em.
[There are loud noises coming from Cristina's room upstairs.]
What's that?
We are directly underneath Yang's room and Owen's visiting. What do you think?
[looks grossed out] Oh. Is that him or her?
[voice over] Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted. Things are uncertain. And there's no turning back. The world around you is different now. Unrecognizable and there's nothing you can do about it. You're stuck. The future's staring you in the face. And you're not sure you like what you see. Like I said, I'm not big into change.
S9 E15Hard Bargain
[voice over] They say there's one sure sign of a successful negotiation. It's that when the parties leave the table, they both feel like they've been screwed. The goal is a compromise. A situation where everybody wins.
I think it could work.
What can?
You know, people, coworkers getting together. I mean, don't judge it from those lawyers. They don't even like each other. Look at Grey and Shepherd. I mean, they tried to avoid it, but it was like fate or whatever. They had to be together. It was just right, you know?
That's beautiful.
[voice over] They say that negotiation is an art form. Yet, when we negotiate, we have a strategy, we use tactics. Strategies and tactics aren't words we use for seeking a compromise. These are words for going to war.
