S12 E4Old Time Rock and Roll

[to Alex, as she gets in his car] Good morning.

[to Maggie, as they're getting in the car] You said you were drunk. Can I at least ask if you used a condom?

Shut... up. [shuts car door]

Look, there is a jumbo box of condoms under the bathroom sink. I share. They are for everyone.

Jumbo? Seriously?

I was being optimistic.

Wait. That was you making all that noise last night? I thought that was Amelia. Well, you aren't shy. And you have a filthy mouth.

Okay, can we not talk about this? Please. I am begging you.

So, the intern was good in bed.

Intern? What intern? Maggie, what intern?

Alex can hear us.

Alex doesn't care about this. Do you care, Alex?

Do I care about any of this conversation? No.

Did he visit Ladytown? Because I find if they don't go down to Ladytown the first time, there should be no next time.

She's right about that.

No more talking! If either of you says another word, I will jump out of this car while it is moving. And Ladytown is just as bad as Ladyplace.

Geez. So sensitive.

Just trying to be nice. Take an interest. God.

Hey, what time do you want me at your house tonight?

Why are you coming to my house tonight?

You're having a dinner party.

Oh, the dinner party. No, that's not tonight.

No, that's weeks away. It's on the--

Dinner party's on the 14th, Alex.

Today is the 14th. You people need adult supervision.

There was so much sex. Hot, hot sex. Everything hurts. My back, my hip, the top of my head. I feel like I'm 80. Oh, my god. He's an intern. Who does that? Who screws the interns? What kind of person does that?

[laughs] The father of my children.

Oh, Meredith. Okay, I didn't mean you know I didn't mean I'm very sorry.

It's fine. Just relax. You think you're the first person to have inappropriate work sex? We all do it all over the hospital.

Abe. He was... in love. He met the love of his life when he was 85, and he was gonna propose to her. But he died.

Oh. I'm sorry.

God, I felt like I could talk to him forever. He made me feel like... you know, I never really believed that I'd find love again. Not anything real or true. I thought that I had it and I screwed it up, and that was over. Then he was madly in love at 85, and that is proof that there is... there is more love out there. Callie might've found hers and I can find mine, even if it's in 60 years.

[crying] I don't want to find a new soul mate when I'm 90! I met mine already and he wants a divorce.

Aww, sweetie. This is about me. This isn't about you.

[to the interns] When you walk into a room to tell someone that their loved one has died, it's more than just a list of bullet points you've memorized. Yours is the face they will remember for the rest of their life. They were fine before they met you. They picked up their children from school, they made dinner, and they got a call. The police showed up at their door and brought them here with those children to this room so that you can give them the worst news of their entire life. You are changing this person's life forever. You are responsible for this moment. For the instant that person goes from wife to widow is you. All you. Nobody but you. So, this person isn't an inconvenience. They are not a box on a list to be checked off. You are a part of their life now. Your words, your face. So take that seriously and recognize the importance of your role. And respect the fact that that person's pain is the biggest thing in the room.

[closing voice-over] There are some things in life that simply can't be avoided, no matter how uncomfortable they make us and there can't be rewards in stepping outside your comfort zone. Even when the thought of it makes us want to puke. Even when we want nothing more than to run screaming for the hills. That's why people love to say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But sometimes, those people don't know what the hell they're talking about.

S12 E5Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

You knew who she was all night, and you never bothered telling me? She killed Derek! You invite her in here. Y-you let me sit there and talk to her all I well, I hugged her! Why?! W-why would you do that to me?

I did this to you?

You should've told me. You should have. I thought that you and I––

(screaming) I did. nothing. to you. I lost my husband and the father of my children and you're falling apart? I don't get to do that because I have three kids, so, please, SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!

[entering the room] Meredith---

When the plane crashed, when I heard Cristina's plane had crashed, my first thought was that she was dead, and for a moment, I felt relieved. And for a moment... I felt relieved. I felt terrible for feeling it, but it was there. And I always knew on some level she'd leave me, and I wasn't ready to be hurt like that. So if she was dead, we would stay frozen in time forever. And she'd be gone, but it wouldn't be so hard. It wouldn't be a choice, to walk away, to choose something else, to move to Switzerland and start another life. I was relieved that it was over with a minimum of damage, and I hate myself for that. So I am not perfect, Amelia. I can be selfish, and I can be scared, and I make things harder than I need to. I know I do. I make things hard for us.

Wow. That is the worst thing I have ever heard. No, really, don't ever do drugs because you will never be able to stop.

S12 E6The Me Nobody Knows

[opening voice-over] According to this man's family, he was not a smoker, but the truth is he smoked two packs a day, in his car for twenty years, while his wife and children slept. Sometimes, the patient's shame is the elephant in the room. They try to hide it from us, but you can't hide from a surgeon because the body doesn't lie. The truth is right here for everyone to see and it doesn't need to say a single word.

I'm saying I know what it's like when it feels like everything's coming apart, and you need something to pull it together. I just... I know.

We need to talk.

What's wrong?

I thought you were stepping up, putting Blake on your service, but what I saw in that O.R wasn't teaching.

She crapped out on a basic surgical principle.

You were hazing her.

If she cracks under the pressure of an emergent surgery, she does not belong in this program.

Blake was at the top of her class at Dillard. Her references were impeccable. I checked them myself.

You checked? So you knew where she was from? You checked her case record? Her losses? Did you know that she--

She was an excellent candidate. You were the only reason not to hire her.

And you didn't find that reason enough? (walks away)

I didn't want Blake here. I fought it.

Then why did you hire her?

Because I've been accused of coddling you, and I didn't want to do that. I didn't think you'd want me to. That was one reason. I didn't want you here, either. When you were accepted to this program, I didn't know how I was gonna look at you every day... and be reminded of the best and worst times of my life. And you walked in, the spitting image of your mother. Talented, smart... here-- Every day. And I decided that wasn't fair to you. I decided to put aside my personal feelings to--

Rise above.

And I'm glad I did that. Every day.

He would have said the same thing. Derek-- He probably would have even liked her.

[closing voice-over] They say shame controls every aspect of human behavior. It's about who we believe we are. But in the end, you can't hide, and the body doesn't lie. The truth is right there for the world to see. Our shame can choke us. Kill us. Can rot us from the inside, if we decide to let it. Don't let that happen to you.

S12 E7Something Against You

[opening voice-over] Every surgeon is trained to look for problems. To look at a person and say: "What's wrong with you?" We're trained to foresee the ugliest possible outcome. When your job is to make people better, you're automatically inclined to look for the worst in them.

I made a promise to Cristina that I wouldn't let you go dark and twisty, that I'd be your person if you needed one.

I don't want to talk.

Okay. You don't have to. But just tell me... Do we hate him?

We hate him.

Okay, then we hate him.

Dr. Grey, right?

Yep.

Yours is easy to remember. It's on all the hospital stationery... What's the story there?

That's too long a story to tell.

I was actually headed across the street. I was gonna grab a drink or something, are you headed that way, or...? [Meredith is thinking]

I'm a friend of Owen Hunt's [Elevator bell dings, and Meredith gets off]

I see.

So, no.
