[to Bailey] You were a child when you married Tucker. You're an adult now. You know the world's an ambiguous place. You know that love doesn't conquer all. It conquers some stuff. The other stuff kicks the living crap out of love.
S9 E9Run, Baby, Run
[Callie and Shane are in the OR]
Okay. Is no one making small talk because this is Derek Shepherd on the table? This is intricate work. Small talk is what keeps us awake.
Well, uh a couple of days ago, I helped Dr. Kepner extract a malignant mass from the gluteal area of a female patient. It was an impressively sized mass.
[unimpressed] Who's gonna tell Dr. Shepherd that he'll never operate again because Ross' idea of gossip is, he saw April Kepner take a lump off an ass?
[voice over] The body doesn't know the difference between nerves and excitement, panic and doubt, the beginning and the end. The body just tells you to get the hell out. Sometimes you ignore it… That's the reasonable thing to do. But sometimes you listen; you're supposed to trust your gut. Right? When the body says run… Run!
S9 E10Things We Said Today
[voice over] In order to properly treat a problem, a surgeon needs as much information as she can get. So we ask questions. Things like when did the pain begin? Have you experienced these symptoms before? Do you have a family history? Are you currently sexually active? Have you recently undergone surgery? If you’re unwilling or unable to answer these and other questions, we’re forced to rely on tests for insight. Until those test results come back, there’s nothing we can do but wait.
[about having to sit next to Shane Ross at Miranda's wedding dinner] It's like having dinner with "Ripley's believe it or not!"
Interns are like sexual catnip at this hospital.
[Callie calls Derek's hospital room.]
Hey, you're awake.
[groggily] No, not really.
Oh, sorry. I just--I wanted to check your post-op vitals. How's your BP?
Uh, you know who would know that would be a nurse. Why don't you call a nurse?
Right. I'll do that.
Why are you whispering?
Oh, I'm in a hotel bathroom. And I'm about to have sex For the first time in months.
[eyes widen immediately] I'm hanging up now.
[voice over] The next time you’re in your doctor's office, remember she’s not asking all those questions for her health. She’s asking them for yours. Tell her everything. The small details aren’t trivial. They actually make the story. There’s no rush, take all the time you need, start at the beginning.
S9 E11The End is The Beginning is the End
[voice over] The big day is here. The day you’re gonna hear the news, the test result. Is the biopsy malignant or benign? Am I gonna live or die? You just want to know even if the news is scary because then you can move on. Whatever that means.
Are you still pining over Jackson?
No. God. No. Why? Is he seeing someone?
April, April, Jackson is like a cookie. [holds up cookie in front of April's face] People want to lose weight, they don't eat the cookie. But then they get so hung up on not having the cookie that their whole life is about the cookie.
I think you're letting me win.
SRShane Ross
You're a smart man.
I am.
So am I. That's why I'm absolutely letting you win. Whupping your ass wouldn't be a smart move, especially since you're a competitive guy who likes to win.
Do you know who else is a competitive guy, Ross? A neurosurgeon. I thought you had what it takes to be one.
Mm. See? I am a smart man, and you are now goading me. But you won't like it when you lose.
Oh, "when" I lose?
You'll be angry and never want to see my face. That won't help me on my quest to become you.
Yeah, I've told you, it's creepy when you say that.
[Callie, Arizona, Meredith, Derek and Cristina are having dinner at a restaurant.]
We're trying to move on, which is progress. And it feels weird and sad and wrong, but it also feels exciting. I miss Mark and Lexie. And I'm heartbroken that they're not here tonight. I'm heartbroken, but I'm also grateful that all of you are. And I'm gonna celebrate that. And we are gonna toast.
[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 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.
