I always taught my daughter, if she wanted to know something, don't ask the internet. Find the smartest person in the room, and if they're not smarter than you...find another room.
S13 E12None of Your Business
AAnnie
My husband and I, we didn't trust people. There's just so much bad stuff out there. Started with locks, alarms and cameras, and then the wall. It felt safe, you know, just him and me against the world. But then he died, and it just felt more like a prison. Every day, I'd get the paper, and I'd think about going farther. But I never could. So then I thought, "Start with the wall. Just take the stupid thing down."
I'm sorry. I'm sorry about your leg.
AAnnie
I feel like one of them animals that chewed its leg off to get out of a trap. But I got out. I finally got out. Thanks.
[to Amelia, standing outside the door] Every day you don't open the door, it gets a little easier to stay inside. I can't pull you out anymore. No one can open this door but you, and I want to be here. I will be. Amelia! [to Stephanie] Tell her I'm not going to wait forever.
[closing voice-over] We have to keep something to ourselves, or else anyone can get to us. They'll see the stuff we don't show anyone. So we build the walls high and wide, and we lock the gates.
S13 E13It Only Gets Much Worse
[opening voice-over] In 1949, Edward Murphy conducted a rocket sled experiment to see how much pressure a human being could withstand. Murphy's experiment failed spectacularly, over and over. Needless to say, he didn't start off on the right foot. That's why it's called Murphy's law. Because if anything can go wrong, it will.
How's Kepner doing?
What do you mean how's Kepner doing? She's a turncoat.
But she's also a friend.
Yes, she's a friend. She's a poor, misguided, very confused friend. It's like you found out that your friend voted wrong.
Can you vote wrong?
RJRiggs, Jackson, Arizona, and Maggie
[simultaneously] Yes. Absolutely. Yeah!
What the hell is wrong with you? She asked you a question she needed an answer!
I know.
What kind of teacher are you? You don't just teach what to do with their hands, you teach them what to do with this. How to live through this. You take it on yourself.
I know.
You don't! You are the attending. This is your loss. Okay? You take the hit. Because if you put it on her, she might quit. She might think that she can't survive it, so you show her that she can. You tell her that when this happened to me--
It hasn't.
What?
I've never had a child die
You know I was always a fine surgeon. But I am an excellent teacher, and today I was complete failure. I know you thought this program had problems, but it sure as hell has them now.
Richard--
Bailey was my favorite student. I brought her in as an intern. I saw her all the way through to chief. She was my start to finish. And you turned her against me.
[closing voice-over] Once things start going wrong, it's hard to break the cycle. Murphy's law is not physics. It's just a thing a guy said to try and make sense of a crappy day. Just because things go wrong, it doesn't mean they're out of our control. It's on us to fix things. It's on us to take everything that can go wrong, and make it go right. It's on us to try, anyway.
S13 E14Back Where You Belong
[opening voice-over] I don't do reunions. High school, undergrad, med school... I don't need to make superficial conversation with a bunch of people I barely remember. If I want to keep someone in my life, I keep them in my life. Or maybe it's just that I don't know how to get rid of them.
I just, schizophrenia is a difficult disease, but with treatment it can be helped.
What do you mean?
Well I just don't get it? I would just be happy that she's alive. How is this not a happy ending?
You're right. You don't get it.
I want to.
They gave up on her. They just buried an empty box in the ground and moved on. They had lattes, saw movies. They just lived their lives, and all the while their daughter was out there walking around in the rain, in pain and alone. And they'll never forgive themselves for that. They shouldn't.
We both know that your mother would never put me before her career
True. But I'm supposed to do better than her. Isn't that the point? Be better. I can't be like her.
Go get your job.
When Derek died, there was just one day. Just one day where I didn't know where he was. I pretended everything would be okay, but inside I was going crazy. I guess it's like that for Nathan every day.
Yeah. You get him.
Well, I don't know about that.
[closing voice-over]I don't do reunions, but I can see why people do. They can make you feel like you haven't felt in a long time. It's comfy, it's familiar, it's kind of like coming home. You see how people turned out if they realized their hopes and dreams or if they have lost their hopes and dreams. Or maybe you see that they have found what we all should find... brand new hopes and dreams.
S13 E15Civil War
[opening voice-over] There's an old story of a father who had two sons. When he knew a civil war was about to break out, he sent one son to fight for the North, and one to the South. He figured if he had sons on both sides, there'd be a better chance one would survive. Because when you fight a war at home, the casualties are your neighbors, your friends, your family, leaving you all alone.
