Grey's Anatomy Season 5 Episode 11

Derek: Two guys shot my dad for his watch. My mom saved up for it. Two guys came into a store and they shot him because he wouldn't give it up. That's how my dad died. ... We are supposed to treat everybody the same, ... but they're not all the same.
Meredith: I'm sorry. It was just a bad day all around I guess.
Derek: I wish that I could make things better with you and Cristina.
Meredith: I wish that you could too.
Derek: I'm tryin' to think about what she would do in a situation like this, but... I don't know.
Meredith: Well, she would turn the music up pretty loud and she would dance it out with me, but I don't think that you wanna go there.
Derek (smiles): Well... (stands up and turns on the music and starts dancing) Come on. Get up. (Meredith laughs) Get your ass over here. I'm not doin' this by myself.

Sadie: You wanna get a drink?
Meredith: I'm not in the mood.
Sadie: You know, you and I had a fight like this once.
Meredith: What?
Sadie: Amsterdam. ... We used to be as close as you and Cristina and then Amsterdam happened and you shut me down and we never got pasted it. I mean, we still hung out. But not like before, I mean we'd go dancing, or some place loud where we didn't have to talk and... That's okay, I'm a rolling stone, I bounce. But you're about to the same thing to Cristina and that girl mates for life. If you don't make it right, she'll never talk to you again.
Meredith: I apologized, to Cristina.
Sadie: Like you meant it? Like you could imagine that she had a point? ... I miss you. As my friend... I miss you.

Izzie: Um, I don't think was clear earlier. It is not like a dream. I see Denny when I'm awake. We... hang out.
Alex: This is because I said that I loved you. You're freaked out.
Izzie: I'm not. ... Um... we still do stuff. Together... sex stuff. I see him and we have sex.
Alex: Well, there's nothing wrong with a good fantasy. I mean, I'd rather you fantasized about me, or chicks but... Whatever.
Izzie: You really don't care?
Alex: You're just tryin' to work somethin' out. I mean, people die and the other people... y'know get messed up about it.
Izzie: Yeah, but...
Alex: Izz, I've been competing with that tool for a long time. But I'd say that he's kinda got the handicapped now.

Cristina: I think what she's trying to ask you is... What did you do to get on death row?
Meredith: You don't have to answer that. That was not what I was asking.
William: Oh, I don't mind. It's an obvious question. ... One Monday I slit this woman's throat. I've been thinking about it for a while, dreaming about it... And on Monday I just had to do it. ... I just... really wanted to draw a knife across her neck. And- And I thought it would be terrifying or... or sad or something. But it wasn't. It was just... kind of fun. So I did two more on Tuesday and another two on Wednesday. I was gonna go for three on Thursday because I liked the illeration, but I got caught, so I didn't.

George: Hey, Cristina, did I mention that it's Izzie's birthday today? Because someone should do somethin' about it.
Cristina: I myself am planning a party with balloons, streamers and a bouncey house.
George: Well, that's a good idea. But you know, Alex should do somethin' about it.
Alex: I know, hosebag, I got it under control.
Cristina: Oh, a bouncey house? (Alex glares)

Mark: But she's exquisite. And it's not just the sex. I mean, we talked for hours and laughed.
Callie: It's just the sex.
Mark: Yeah, you gonna tell me that you're not thinkin' about Sadie?
Callie (laughs): Nope. Nope. I cannot have another stupid romantic disaster in this hospital... (they both start laughing) It's embarrassing.
Mark: You do have quite a track record.
Callie: Alright, alright. We need to find something else to think about.
Mark: It's worth a try. (they kiss)
Callie: Nope. Not workin'.
Mark: Okay.
Callie: Okay. ... Oh! Okay. We're like addicts, right? We need a 12 step program!
Mark: I'm not going to a meeting to discuss my obsession with my best friend's girlfriend's half sister.
Callie: No, no, no. It'll just be us. We'll be each other's sponsers. Make sure that we stay on the program.
Mark: What are the steps?
Callie: Don't get naked with an intern. ... It's more of a one step program.
Mark: Maybe I should write this down.

Meredith: Mr. Dunn is in a great deal of pain. Can I give him some more morphine or will that cause problems with his neuro exams?
Derek: Mr. Dunn has had enough morphine.
Meredith: Right. But, he's got a foriegn body lodged in his spine. It's inhumane.
Derek: No, killing people is inhumane. Denying him pain killers is a judgement call.
Meredith: Derek... What's wrong with you?
Derek: I watch people die all the time. I go to families and I tell them that their world has been ripped apart all the time. And I fight like a dog just to make sure that I don't have to deliever that message, and I lose that fight all the time. And then someone like Dunn comes along and just simply throws it away. Life. ... Then he's got the nerve to tell me that he and I are two sides of the same coin.
Meredith: You're not.
Derek: He doesn't need morphine.

Derek: We'll do everything by the book. I don't want some lawyer keeping him alive on the basis that we didn't give him the standard of care.
Owen: You're pro death penalty?
Derek: I'm pro punishment.
Meredith: Good people do bad things. People screw up. He's still a person. We don't know what crime he committed.
Cristina: Oh, well, maybe he killed a cop. Let's feel all warm for the cop killer.
Meredith: We don't know what he did. We can't judge.
Cristina: No, but a jury can. Death row.
Derek: I can't believe we're wasting time debating this. Do a repeat crit and let me know if he needs blood. (Meredith and Cristina leave)
Owen: I thought that they were friends?
Derek: They were.
Owen: And now?
Derek: And now you and I are in for a very, very long day.

Lexie: Hi there.
Mark: What are you doing?
Lexie: I'm saying hello.
Mark: Listen, my best friend made one simple request that I not get any where near you, and I slept with you. It was fantasic. You're fantastic... But it's not gonna happen again. Ever.
Lexie (smirks): Okay.

(the alarm goes off Meredith groans)
Meredith: I don't wanna go to work. It's warm in here, it's a cocoon. No Cristina with the mean face.
Derek: Mmm. No lives to save.
Meredith: A quickie. A quickie will make me feel better.
Derek: Mm. You definatly need a quickie.

Lexie: From the lab, Dr. Sloan. (pauses) Did you need something else?
Mark (whispers to Callie): This is torture.
Callie: Focus!

Lexie: Did I just hear tumor removal? My- My resident abandoned me. Do you need any help?
Callie: Sure.
Mark: No! Or... Fine. But you'll watch, and you're not touching anything. Get it? No touching.
Callie: Uh.... She's up in ultrasound, call and see if they took her yet. (Lexie walks away and Callie gives Mark a look) You slept with her?
Mark: Absolutely not. (Callie looks at him suspiciously) Only once. She came to my hotel room, took off all her clothes and said "teach me". (Callie laughs) It was like I had no control. She violated me with her nakedness. Derek's gonna kill me.
Callie: Well, you shouldn't have been alone with her.
Mark: Never gonna happen again, mind-blowingly fantastic as it was.
Callie: Hey, you... are a professional, all right? (Sadie walks over them)
Sadie: Hey. (she touches Callie's hair) Oh. Hold on. Hold tight. Just a bit of lint. Um, ultrasound's backed up, but they said they'll have results in half an hour.
Callie: All right. Uh, well, tell, uh, tell Grey. Uh, and, uh, let, uh, let, uh George--Dr. George -- Dr. O'Malley know when, uh, let him know... let him know when you know, okay? (Sadie walks away)
Mark: You were saying something about professionalism?
Callie: Did- Did you see that? That was not in my head, right?
Mark: I'm telling you, these interns are out of control.
Callie: Stalkers.
Mark: Sexed-up stalkers.

Meredith (closing voiceover): We don't wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach. We wish because we need help and we're scared and we know we may be asking too much. We still wish, though, because sometimes they come true.

Mark: We did good work today.
Callie: If we stay strong...
Mark: And don't get drunk...
Callie: Keep staring at Joe, we'll be fine.
Joe: ... Hi? ... Can I get 'ya anything? (they keep staring at him) Okay, you're weirdin' me out.
Mark: You only live once. You can't waste it. (looks over at Lexie)
Callie: No, Mark. No. Look at Joe. Look, look at me.
Mark: Sorry, Cal. But I'm goin' to Denver.
Callie: Mark, Mark, get back here. Mark? No! (Mark leaves with Lexie) Damn it. No! No!
Joe: You want another drink?
Callie: Yes!

Owen: You okay? Want to get a drink or something?
Cristina: Oh. Oh now we're on again 'cause the mood suits you? Because I'm the sad little girl with no friends and I tripped your savior complex into action? Usually I can deal with the hot and cold thing, but not today. ... Just leave me the hell alone.

Mark (talking about Lexie and Sadie): We're going to need a strategy. Their hot little eyes tracking our every move.
Callie: Okay. No casual glances over the shoulder. No "this is interesting come and have a see".
Mark: As soon as Margret's tumor is out. We'll have them take it pathology to have it analyzed.
Callie: Go team.
Mark: Break. (they knock elbows)

Richard: Read the sign.
Derek: I was told to ignore the sign.
Richard: Well, don't.
Derek: Bailey told me.
Richard (sighs): I'm gonna kill that woman.
Derek: ... Look, I uh, I didn't know Kenley all that well, but... It's gotta be tough losing a co-worker you worked with for all that time.
Richard: Jordan Kenley was a son of a bitch. Great with kids. Great with a scalpel. But horrible to his colleagues. He was competitive, insecure, aggressive, I won't miss him for a minute.
Derek: So is this about your mortality?
Richard (laughs): I'm not worried about me dyin' or Jordan Kenley dyin'. ... I'm worried about my hospital dying. I made some calls to replace Kenley. No one wants to come here. I can't keep a cardiac surgeon on staff. Burke quit. Hahn quit. Dixon's autistic. My OR roof collapsed, the whole place flooded. The interns are literally chopping each other into little pieces. No wonder we're number twelve. Twelve! ... I failed at the one thing I spent my whole life doin'. Failed. So, I'm gonna stay right here on this table until I find a way to walk the halls without cringing. ... Aren't you supposed to give me that rousing 'get back on the horse', lecture?
Derek: I have got to stitch a serial killer back together today. I don't have a rousing lecture left in me.

Izzie: What did he do to get on death row? Did he like mow down a bunch of people with a machine gun?
Cristina: He probably found his wife in bed with a hooker and a handyman.
Izzie: They don't give you a death penalty for crimes of passion. People understand that.
Meredith: All crimes are crimes of passion. There's always a reason. People don't do stuff like that because they forget it's illegal. (Cristina gets up and leaves)
Izzie: When you kill her is it going to be a crime of passion? (Meredith laughs)
Sadie: It still hasn't blown over?
Meredith: No. It's not a big deal. We had a big fight, she took it too far. That's all.
Sadie: You wanna know what I think?
Meredith: Not really.

Owen: Seems like you're short of a friend today, so I thought I'd fill in.
Cristina: Whatever. Colleagues aren't friends, they're competitors.

Bailey: What are you doin'?
Richard: I'm not seeing anyone today, Bailey.
Bailey: Well, I know that but this is important.
Richard: Every conversation that I have is important.
Bailey: Kenley has been replaced with an infant on roller skates named Arizona. Who didn't have sense enough to change her name to something other than Arizona, which shows poor judgement. As does her diagnois of a patient, that I've been working with for three years! She's completely changed Kenley's treatment protocol based on like half an hour of experience with the child. We just took out most his bowel instead of trying to salvage what he has left, she just wants to throw up her hands and pray for a transplant. The- the child hasn't eaten solid food in months. He- He hasn't grown in years, his liver is shot. It is a serious case. Now we need someone who can handle it.
Richard: ... Dr. Bailey, you thought Shepherd was just a hair cut. You didn't like Hahn. And you think Dr. Sloan is a hussie. Can you name any attending that you thought was good?
Bailey: I've always been a fan of your work.
Richard: Arizona Robbins was top of her class, like you. And she was chief resident, like you. And she's the best that anyone's seen in a long time, just like you. She is who we have. We don't have anyone else, deal with it.

Derek (after he takes the knife out of William's back): Wow. Sharp. No wonder he was complaining so much.
Cristina: He wasn't complaining so much after he got the extra 10 of morphine.
Derek: He had an extra 10 of morphine?
Meredith: Yes and it made him much more comfortable.
Derek: It doesn't bother you that this guy probably hacked up a family of four to death with a machette?
Cristina: A knife... and women not a family. Five women. It's what he likes.
Derek: You shouldn't even be on this case, neither of you.
Meredith: What's he gonna do? Jump off the table and get us? You're the one holding the knife.
Owen: ... We'll be doing a refrectory. Have either of you ever mobilized the renial higlim?
Meredith: Uh, I've never done one, but I'd love to try.
Cristina: I practiced on cadavar's probably 100s of times. It wouldn't be my first try.
Meredith: Oh. ... Well, to some of us surgery comes naturally, others, have to practice.
