Grey's Anatomy Season 4 Episode 2

(Cristina is giving away all of her appliances that she got as wedding gifts)
Nurse Tyler: It is beautiful.
Izzie: I know. It's the Belgian Round, Flip Pro.
Nurse Tyler: What do you want for it?
Cristina: What do you got?
Nurse Tyler: The next time that I get a projectile vomiter, I can loose your pager number.
Cristina: Oh, you can do better than that. Surgeries, baby. Preferably cardio.
Meredith: Are these all wedding gifts?
Izzie: Yes, she's giving them away. I have dibs on the mix-master.
Cristina: I'm not giving you the mix-master.
Meredith: I think the tradition is that you're supposed to return them.
Cristina: Burke registered for this crap and now I'm the one who's stuck dealing with it. So, I'm using it for professional game.
Mark (indicating the espresso maker): Are you sure you're ready to part with this?
Izzie: She's not. I want it. I want it.
Cristina: I am if I can help with the ram boy flap on your next most defect repair.
Mark: Come to Daddy. (takes the espresso maker and walks away)
Alex: You steal all of this stuff?
Izzie: Make her give me something.
Alex (to Cristina): Give her something.
Izzie: Give me the mix-master.
Cristina: Face it. You have nothing that I want.
Bailey: Would you look at the residents, big snazzy residents, standing around playing with housewares.
Cristina: Turn a blind eye and the soup tureen's yours.

Nurse Tyler: I want the waffle maker.
Cristina: Didn't we already cover this?
Nurse Tyler: Yeah, but now I got something that you want.
Cristina: Oh, yeah, what? (Cristina sees Burke's mom and ducks behind the counter)
Jane Burke: Hello, I'm Jane Burke.
Nurse Tyler: Dr. Burke's mother, how nice to see you.
Jane Burke: I'm looking for Dr. Cristina Yang.
Nurse Tyler: Yang, Yang, lemme see…. Dr. Yang… (Cristina hits his leg from under the counter) I'll page her, but I think that she's in surgery.
Jane Burke: I'll wait. (walks away)
Nurse Tyler: Waffle maker.
Cristina: Fine.

Meredith: So, how'd surgery go on the mom?
Cristina: She'll live, fine, whatever. That's not the mom that I'm worried about.
Meredith: Oh, I tried. I tried. Mama is not budging, and she is very scary.
Cristina: Yeah, obviously. What does she want? Did Burke send her?
Meredith: I don't know. I mean, you have to go. You have to go deal with Mama. Just go and get it over with and then when you're done come back and tell me all about it because I could really use a pick-me-up. (nods over to Lexie)
Cristina: Okay, Mama showdown is not for your enjoyment. Besides my patient is stable and until I'm paged I'm gonna stay right here. (whispers) Okay, she keeps staring at us.
Meredith: I know.
Cristina: Make her stop.
Meredith: You make her stop.
Cristina: You're her sister.
Meredith: I'm an only child. You're her resident.
Cristina (to Lexie): If you have time to stare you have time to get me coffee so move, move, move! Two, stay!
Meredith: Now, see if you could just do that with Mama.

Alex: You can yell, you know.
Bailey: Not my job anymore.
Alex: I'm just sayin', you can if you want. I deserve it.
Bailey: You deserve, Dr. Karev, to be chastised for your stunning poor decision making. You -- you certainly earned a-- a reprimand for your unbelievably destructive tactile error. (pauses) You got in the face of a drug dealer? (slaps his arm) You got in the face of a drug dealer… (slaps his arm) Before the police had arrived. (slaps his arm repeatedly) You got in the face of a known felon while is one year old was still in the room, are you stupid? Are you without intelligence? Because I know that you were taught better than that. I taught you better than that, Dr. Karev. Getting in the face of a drug dealer, fool.
Alex: Thank you.
Bailey (exhales): Oh, no… thank you.

Bailey: Okay, I need you to work in the clinic, Grey.
Meredith: Well--
Bailey: No, before you open your mouth to tell me all the reasons that you can't, just lemme say this. I need this because I have idiots, do you understand me Grey? Idiot interns are down there in my clinic, a clinic drippin' with my blood sweat and tears, Grey, and I am not convinced, not at all convinced that they will not burn it down with their inaptitude. No, no, I am not telling because I understand that I do not have the authority to tell. So I'm askin', nicely. (Meredith doesn't say anything) Okay, I'm just sayin' that if I ever did anything for you like… I don't know... save your life… if you ever felt you owed me a debt of thanks… Now, is when I'd like to collect. (pauses) Please?

Callie: What you ran the code yourself? Where's Grey?
George: She's covering in the clinic.
Callie: What the hell is she doing in the clinic? I thought I told you to take interns.
Bailey: I didn't want interns. (Callie walks away, Bailey glares at George)
George: Sorry about that.
Bailey: Some things, O'Malley, some things just don't need to be told.

Meredith: Mrs. Burke. What a surprise to see you here. Are you visiting someone?
Jane Burke: You're the maid of honor, Ms. Grey.
Meredith: That's me.
Jane Burke: When you stood up in front of Preston's friends and loved ones, and said 'It's over. It's over. It's so over.' Were you trying to smash the hopes of the best man or were you just trying to be funny?
Meredith: I….
Jane Burke: Because making light of that situation would be inappropriate. And to use that moment to send a message to your boyfriend well, that's… selfish. So were you being inappropriate or were you being selfish?
Meredith: I… am… uh… I apologize for that, Mrs. Mama… ma'am. I'm just gonna go. (Jane is just staring at her) Okay.
Jane Burke: Ms. Grey?
Meredith: Yes, ma'am?
Jane Burke: When you report back to Cristina will you tell her, please, that I am waiting for her and that I will continue to wait for her.
Meredith: Yes, ma'am.

George: Mrs. Burke!
Jane Burke: I don't think I know you...
George: I'm George. O'Malley. I'm a friend of Burke's, I was Burke's guy.
Jane Burke: Oh, hi, George O'Malley, Burke's friend, Burke's guy. Sit.
George: I guess I have a minute. (sits down) You know, he let me sleep on his couch when I had no where else to stay... I mean, how is he? Is he doing okay?
Jane Burke: He's Preston. He's a gentleman, and so he doesn't like to talk about it and I really don't know what to say to him.
George: I don't know. Maybe you can tell him that he dodged a bullet. I mean, marriage is... once you're in, you're in. Burke is smart, you know, he didn't make a mistake. A mistake, which is hard to take back and even if you wanted to take back you can't. So, you can tell him that.
Jane Burke: 'Once you're in, you're in.' Make sure you have that engraved on your wedding ring once you're married.
George: Oh, I'm already married.
Jane Burke: You're already married? George O'Malley, Burke's friend, Burke's guy, staying in a marriage, out of obligation, that's no way to live. That's no way to love... But, I think you already know that.
George: I do. Sometimes I do.

Derek: He's not returning my phone calls anymore.
Jane Burke: He's doing his best. Do you think… Do you think that, she really loved him, Cristina?
Derek: I think she loved him the best that she knew how.
Jane Burke: And that wouldn't have been enough for you either?
Derek: No, that wouldn't have been the best for me either.
Jane Burke: So, you would have ended it too?
Derek: Well…. Burke and I are built differently, he's strong than I am. He was strong enough to-- We're not built the same.
Jane Burke: Honorable men are all built the same.
Derek: And you think that I'm an honorable man?
Jane Burke: Do you know when to walk away? Do you know when not to take less than you deserve, if you do, then you're an honorable man.

Cristina: Hello.
Jane Burke: It took you long enough.
Cristina: Yes. Well…
Jane Burke: I came to pick up Preston's key, I'd like to pick up some of his things. And the necklace that I gave you before the wedding…
Cristina: Yeah, yeah. Of course. (takes the key off her key ring) Just, uh, leave it under the mat when you're done. (she turns to leave)
Jane Burke: And I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I've come to know you… I think. And what you love even more than Preston is being a surgeon. You are planning to continue with cardiothorasic surgery like my son, am I correct?
Cristina: Yes.
Jane Burke: So, I'm sorry that you lost the man that you love. But more than that, I'm sorry that you lost your teacher. With him by your side you could've become a brillant heart surgeon.
Cristina: I see.
Jane Burke: You're a strong woman, Cristina. I respect that. I'd wish I could have been born at another time, I might be more like you. So, I shall leave the key under the mat.
Cristina: Uh, could you take the gifts? There are all these wedding gifts and I can't…Can you please take them away?
Jane Burke: Well, of course I can.
Cristina: He's never coming back, is he? Not even to say good-bye.
Jane Burke: Remember, you're a strong woman.

Mark: Wanna grab a drink?
Derek: I have a problem.
Mark: What's up?
Derek: No... I'm admitting that... I have a problem.

Callie: Chief…
Richard: I've got paperwork, Dr. Torres. Kidnapped babies make for a lot of paperwork, I was planning on going to see my wife tonight but instead I get to do this.
Callie: I could help. I mean-- I mean I could help.
Richard: No, you've helped enough for one day.

Mark: Callie, are you okay?
Callie: A baby was lost on my watch. I am Chief Resident. I am responsible, and the Chief, he gave this to me and I blew it and…now a baby's missing. So, no I'm not okay.
Mark: No, you are not okay.
Callie (turns around, teary eyed): Plus, I think that my husband's having an affair.
Mark: Well, if that's true, he's an idiot. And if that's true you need to talk to him, you know, as an alternative to destroying your career.

Richard: Dr. Torres.
Callie: Yeah, Chief?
Richard: 'Yeah, Chief'? Is it that you don't know what going on in my hospital Dr. Torres, or is it that you don't care?
Callie: Um… I'm sorry. I guess I don't know.
Richard: I delegated the meth lab situation to you and now one of your resident's has been attacked and a baby is missing.
Callie: I don't understand I told Karev to take--
Richard: I don't wanna hear any of your excuses. Finish up here. You better hope that baby shows up.

George: We decided. I was supposed to tell her. I have to tell her.
Izzie: No, I know, you can't, you just can't, okay? I am working with her, she is my boss.
George: Damn it!
Izzie: Ssh! Maybe it'll just work itself out if we wait. You'll grow apart.
George: Izzie.
Izzie: She's been working long hours, maybe she's having an affair.
George: Izzie. How long do you suggest that I wait until I tell her about us?
Izzie: I don't know at least when she's not in such a bad mood… a week…. A month. I'm sorry. (Izzie moves closer)
George: You know… then we can't.
Izzie: I know.
George: Then you better walk away.
Izzie: I better walk away. Yeah… I really better walk away.

Mr. Rowsh: Do you have any kids?
Mark: Not that I know of.
Mr. Rowsh: Not married, are 'ya?
Mark: Afraid that I haven't found anybody who'll put up with me.
Mr. Rowsh: Well, get on the stick, don't do like I did. Don't be a bachelor your whole life. You can only play the field for so long and suddenly one day, your whole life passes you by. Parts aren't working like they used to.
Mark: They have medicine for that now.
Mr. Rowsh: They don't have medicine for that all alone part, now do they?
Mark: No, I suppose not.

Intern: Will we be able to do procedures on our own?
Bailey: No, you are interns, you are in charge of nothing. All procedures will be discussed and overseen by an upper level, all charts will be signed out by an upper level and all patients will looked at by someone other than you!

Callie: Oh, you up late last night? Perhaps you should sit this one out.
Izzie: I'm not up late. (Callie walks away) Not up late. Went to bed early. Early and alone.

Bailey: Uh, I need a resident in the clinic to over see the new interns while I work on this patient.
Callie: I'm sorry. I can't help.
Bailey: You… can't help?
Callie: I'm sorry, Bailey. But the clinic is optional, I'm not gonna force any residents to go in there when I have this much going on in the pit, but you can have as many interns as you need, okay?

George: I feel-- I feel this exhilaration… it's like a-- it's like I finally figured it out. You know? It's -- It's like I was spelling, and it's like a I woke up and it's just--it's just amazing. She said that she loved me, and you--- you know my dad… oh god, he loved her and… and you know when he died…. I - I shouldn't have gotten married. I thought it was right but it wasn't. It's not!
Izzie: It's not. (they are almost kissing when he stands up)
George: I--I've got to tell her! I have to tell her that marriage is over. It's the right thing to do. (he runs out the door, then he comes back) Did you see how I walked out of here so determined?
Izzie: You made me proud! (then he leaves again) He loves me too.

Meredith (opening voiceover): In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it were just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.

Cristina (her pager beeps): Carnage in the pit. My day is improving! (Cristina walks away and turns to her interns) Follow. (interns run to follow her)
Lexie: We're not gonna round?
Cristina: Carnage trumps rounds, Three. Write that down. Carnage always trumps rounds. (Lexie writes it down)

Richard (looking at the OR board): What do you think of the board?
Derek: It's good. It looks good, you did a good job.
Richard: I didn't do it. I'm delegating. I am being a delegater. I'm doing it all different. I'm making time for my wife.
Derek: Oh, yeah, is she talkin' to you yet?
Richard: Well, she will once she sees that I'm a delegater. I -- I should move that surgery up there.
Derek: Junkie.
Richard: Yeah, yeah you're right. It's fine. Delegate. Being a delegater.
Mark (walks up): What's wrong with the Chief?
Derek: He's a junkie.
Mark: Him? You're the one who looks all strung out.
Derek: I'm just tired.
Mark: Let me guess, you and Grey are back together and you've been up all night doing the horizontal salsa.
Derek: Mambo. Horizontal mambo. Meredith and I, we're just friends.
Mark: Sexy friends.
Derek: You're like the worst, most juvenile human being I've ever met in my life.
Mark: You know the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem?
Derek: How many nurses have you slept with this week?
Mark: That's not a problem, man. That's an adventure!

Richard: What do we have?
Callie: Gas main blew in an apartment building, five injured, some badly.
Cristina: Excellent...(Richard and Callie stare at her) Horrible, horrible! Sad.

Meredith: Hey, what's the 911?
Cristina: Mama is here.
Izzie: I'm working with Callie. Callie. Gotta find George.
Meredith: Your mother?
Cristina: No, no, no, not my mother. Mama. Mama is here.
Izzie: Seen George, Mer? He's your intern.
Meredith: Oh, Burke's mother.
Cristina: Yeah, make the synapses fire a little more quickly, Meredith.
Meredith: You know, I was just with a patient, I'd be very happy to go back there.
Cristina: No, no, no, you have to help.
Izzie: I'll help, for the mix-master and George's current location.

Meredith: Ah, your timing could not have been more perfect where are we going?
Derek: What do you mean where are we going?
Meredith: You paged me, right?
Derek: I did.
Meredith: Good, so… on-call room?
Derek: You know, I was thinking that maybe we could go to the cafeteria, thought you might be hungry. (Meredith gives him a look) Why are you looking at me like that?
Meredith: Derek, we agreed, S and M only.
Derek: S and M?
Meredith: Sex and mockery.
Derek: Sex and mockery, right. (gets up)
Meredith: So, you're eating lunch?
Derek: I am. Wanna come?
Meredith: No. Meet me in the lobby at 8 o'clock. And eat your dinner first.

Lexie: I am a nice person, okay? I...I am and I don't know what it is that I did to you but you know... We have the same dad, so I was just thinking that a simple conversation...
Meredith: We don't have the same dad, Lexie. You and I, we do not have the same dad. My dad disappeared when I was five years old and I never saw him again. Does that sound like the dad you grew up with? (Lexie nods no) I kicked a man out of my bed in the middle of the night. The world's most perfect man, who loves me. And I can't let him. And it doesn't take a shrink to figure it out why. Because our dad chose you. So I'm sure you are a very nice girl, Lexie. But I hope you can understand, you're not a girl I ever wanted to have to know. (Meredith leaves)

Lexie: Um, Dr. Grey, (laughs) I was wondering... Do you where the thermometers are? Cause...
Meredith: Do you really not know where the thermometers are, Lexie? Or are you just looking for an excuse to talk to me?
Lexie: I...
Meredith: Simple question, Lexie. Are you an idiot or a stalker? (Lexie stares at Meredith) Okay, that was a mean thing to say. I'm aware of that because I'm generally not a mean person. But I'm a person who just doesn't wanna know you. And you are a person who is making that very difficult. So please, just stop making it so difficult for me to not know you. Okay? (Meredith walks away and moves to another part of the counter)

Izzie: Just because people do horrible things it doesn't always mean they are horrible people.

Meredith (closing voiceover): The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the bad habit till you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you're there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts more.
