[opening voice over] Your kids. Your keys. Your family photo album. It's the list you repeat in your head before you fall asleep. It's the short list of things you'd grab in case of disaster. The list makes you feel in control. Your kids. Your keys. Your family photo album. When the fire starts, when the tsunami hits, when the earth literally quakes, do you remember your list? Or do you just duck and cover?
S11 E15I Feel the Earth Move
Oh, you had to dive on top of me?
I was being your human shield. I was protecting you.
Oh, do I strike you as a woman who needs protecting?
You're right. All right. Next time, I'm gonna use you as my human shield.
I have an entire world to manage, all on my own. My world does not and should not revolve around Derek Shepherd. I wanted to go to D.C. this weekend, but I'm a busy surgeon with two kids at home, and he's at the N.I.H. So right now, we're just going to have to accept that this is the way our lives work. But that doesn't mean we're not happy.
All right, fine. You have a happy marriage. With no husband in it.
I don't need Derek. I don't need him in my house. I obviously don't need him to prove I can have 89 good outcomes in a row. I'm doing great. My kids are happy. My career is soaring. Derek going to D.C. did exactly what it was supposed to do, which is remind me of who I am outside of my marriage, which, by the way, I'm kind of amazing.
Okay.
But that doesn't mean that I don't want to share it with him. I want to tell him that I'm... We're on a streak.
WWoman
(answering Derek's phone) Hello?
Hi. Is he in the lab?
WWoman
What?
I know this is Derek Shepherd's phone. Who is this? Who is this? Hello?
[ending voice over] That list of things you'd grab in a disaster, Your kids. Your keys. Your family photo album. That list goes out the window when the disaster starts with you wondering if this must be the woman who's been screwing your husband. That's a whole other earthquake.
S11 E16Don't Dream It's Over
[opening voice over] We teach residents when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. It means that the most obvious answer is usually right. It keeps doctors from heading down the wrong path. It helps us stick to the truth. It helps us save lives. It's part of what makes me a good surgeon. When I hear hoofbeats, horses. I always think horses. Even when I shouldn't.
I called Derek.
I'm laying here. I'm sleeping.
A woman answered his phone.
There are two empty beds. Pick one.
One empty bed. I'm up here. A woman answered his phone?
Whose phone?
Derek's phone.
What kind of woman?
Doesn't matter.
It matters.
It matters.
She was perky, and she sounded happy and tall, with a lot of great hair.
Hold. You saw her? How did you see her?
I didn't. I heard her voice, her perky, happy, tall voice.
I hate voices like that.
You can tell by the voice?
What did Derek say?
I didn't talk to him. Now I keep going to voice-mail. My short, twisty, mad voice keeps going to voice-mail.
He left Addison when the marriage got hard, moved to Seattle, met me in a bar. What if he's doing the same thing now?
(to Alex) Say something.
Look, I've watched you two suck face for years. You've disgusted me for a long, long time. He's into you. And if a guy's still into you, it still means he wants to do you. And if he still wants to do you, you're solid.
I don't know you as well as everyone else here, but I really need to tell you to stop talking now.
Didn't want to say anything in the first place.
Mer, I lived down the hall from you guys. I've heard the sex noises. I've seen the drama and the tears. And there's no way that Derek's... Look, you and Derek are living proof that love exists, that it works, that there is hope. You guys are a freaking romance novel. And I, for one, am rooting for you two. Team MerDer!
I'm not saying that.
Come on, don't you remember what it was like to be a resident and have all of this death around you be new, terrifying? Why do you think they care so much about this stupid streak? Death is scary. They just want to believe that there's somebody out there who can defy it.
[ending voice over] Things are not always what they appear to be. They are often an indicator of something bigger going on. Deep underneath. Symptoms, Red Flags, Warning signs, things we should pay attention to. Things we shouldn't ever ignore. Things that are bad. Things that could really hurt us. Things that it might just be too late to fix.
S11 E17With or Without You
[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?
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.
