Grey's Anatomy · Season 3
Okay, before you start, there are rules to this friendship thing or whatever.
The Dirty Mistresses Club has rules? Gosh, you'd think a bunch of dirty mistresses would... be a little less uptight about things like rules.
Number one, no flirting. Second, no talking about Derek and C, no giving me the face.
The face?
The McSteamy face. Doesn't work on me. I'm immune.
You know, if I'd gone off to the woods, I would've invited you to keep me warm.
Breaking rules 1, 2 and 3.
Man, I thought my brother and I had problems. But you two are morons.
Okay, well, swallowing Monopoly pieces wasn't exactly a genius move. You could've really hurt yourself.
I didn't did I? Now my mom's gonna make my brother let me play all the Monopoly I want. I get to play. That's all that matters, getting to play.
And that makes you smart?
You're fishing through my poop. How smart are you?
[voiceover] Not all wounds are superficial. Most wounds run deeper than we can imagine. You can't see them with a naked eye. And then there are the wounds that take us by surprise. The trick with any kind of wound or disease is to dig down and find the real source of the injury, and once you've found it, try like hell to heal that sucker.
[voiceover] Many people don't know that the human eye has a blind spot in its field of vision. There's a part of the world that we are literally blind to. The problem is, sometimes our blind spots shield us from things that really shouldn't be ignored. Sometimes our blind spots keep our lives bright and shiny.
Today is the day people, today is the day when dark and twisty Meredith disappears forever, and bright and shiny Meredith takes her place! You're probably not gonna want to be friends with me anymore, because the sheer intensity of my happiness is going to make your teeth hurt, but that's OK, because life is good. Life is good.
There you are! What, did you go all the way to New York for my pastrami?
Extra spicy, extra lettuce, light on the mayo.
Mark, what are you doing?
Lunch. Want my pickle?
Seattle Grace is a teaching hospital, part of your job is to teach, your interns aren't your slaves.
Fine, no pickle for you!
I don't get you people.
Us, with the boobs? We make a lot of bad decisions.
[voiceover] When it comes to our blind spots, maybe our brains aren't compensating. Maybe they're protecting us.
[voiceover] As doctors, we know everybody's secrets. Their medical histories. Sexual histories. Confidential information that is as essential to a surgeon as a ten-blade, and every bit as dangerous. We keep secrets, we have to, but not all secrets can be kept.
So how have you been, Preston? Last time I saw you, you stole my patient's heart, and then you got shot. Karma rocks.
What brings you all the way from Seattle Presbyterian to Seattle Grace?
A consult, and knowing how much my being here would annoy you.
Oh, on the contrary. It's always a pleasure, though not as much as when you leave.
[voiceover] In some ways, betrayal is inevitable. When our bodies betray us, surgery is often the key to recovery. When we betray each other... when we betray each other, the path to recovery is less clear. We do whatever it takes to rebuild the trust that was lost. And then there are some wounds, some betrayals that are so deep, so profound that there's no way to repair what was lost. And when that happens, there's nothing left to do but wait.
[after successfully separating conjoined twins]
It'd be nice if every love triangle could be fixed with a scalpel.
If they could, you'd have stabbed me with a ten blade a long time ago.
You remind me of myself when I was an intern.
I do?
Focused, intense, cold, and I don't mean that as a bad thing, cold is good. The dating, the friends, the family, if you ask me, it's all overrated.
[voiceover] At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
VATER syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the vertebrae, anus, trachea, esophagus and renal system.
Wow, give this girl a medal. She memorized the whole acronym, which I assure you is a hell of a lot easier than living with it.
