Private Practice

Violet: Thanks... for comin' down. Cooper: Well, I'm a better person than you are. Violet: The thing is Cooper... Okay, the thing is that... I am kinda a stalker. Cooper: I know.

Addison: How're you doing there, Pete? Pete: Kicking ass and taking names. You? Addison: Ass kicking and name taking are on my resume.

Sam: Don't you think for one moment that I've been taking any of this lightly. Naomi: Oh, no, you walked out. Sam: I did not walk out. I-- said that I was unhappy, that I was questioning it. And instead of trying, instead of working on it, you just shut the door. Naomi: You weren't in love any more. Now, how are we supposed to work on that? Sam: I never said that. I never said that! Naomi: Well, I am not an idiot. I knew. I knew exactly what you were saying. Sam: So, then you fight. You have some passion about the thing. I wanted to see you fight, just once. For us. (pauses) Naomi, I'm sorry, profoundly for hurting you. But, you're fooling yourself if you think that you're the only one who got left.

Addison: I need to be in a hospital, there is no way I can perform the C-section here. It's not sterile. I don't have any surgical equipment... No extra blood. And an epidural would take way too long to take effect... Pete: Addison! Addison, she is a completely healthy seventeen year old, no one could have foreseen this complication. Addison: What happens to a person when a scalpel slices into them without anesthesia… Pete: Addison! Addison: Shut up! I am trying to talk myself into this and I cannot do it when you keep 'Addison-ing' me. So… just hold on.

Violet: You know, I'm workin' here, Cooper. Cooper: Really? 'Cause it looks like you're shopping. (Violet gives him a look) It's a joke, look... Dell told me you were here. I thought I'd just come by, see if you needed any help. Violet: No, I don't need any help, okay? And you know what, this... you got in your car you drove all the way down here, to see if I was still mad at you. Who is the stalker now?

Pete: Stop. Stop. She's short of breath through JBD. Addison: I thought Eastern medicine was your thing. Pete: I have a lot of things. She's short of breath through JBD. Now, do you want to double check, or are you going to trust me?

Pete: Hey, you moving here, didn't have anything to do with me kissing you, did it? Addison: What? Pete: It's okay. It's just that you should know that it was just a kiss. Addison: Wait, you think that I moved here because you kissed me? Pete: It was a good kiss. It was an excellent kiss. It -- Addison: Stop talking. Alright, I did not move here because you kissed me. Pete: Okay. Addison: Are you actually deranged enough to think that I would pick up my entire life and move... because of a kiss? Let me clear that up for you. I wouldn't. Pete: Okay. Addison: Shut up. Just shut up, and go in there and do your little Eastern voodoo thing that you do.

Violet: I get that Naomi's mad... hell hath no fury and all of that. And I know that practice needs an OBGYN but since when do we not vote? Cooper: I had sex with this woman last night... Violet: The whole reason that we started this practice, was so that we can be in charge of our destiny. Cooper: Very... real. Internet sex. But, she wanted me to call her mama, and she promised all of this really freaky stuff. And I'm talking like... stuff. Violet: Okay... (laughs) Ew, that's it. I'm done. Cooper: What? Why? Violet: Because you're a sex-addict, or an internet addict. Or some kind of freaky addict. Cooper: Okay... and you're a stalker. You're stalking your married ex-boyfriend. Violet: I am not. I am... calling him occasionally. Cooper: Stalker.

Dell: You know, I... I... I could help. You know, with Lucy. Addison: I'm good. Dell: You don't take me seriously. Addison: What? Dell: You think I'm dumb surfer boy. You think I'm eye-candy. You have no respect for me or my midwifery skills. Addison: I have total respect for you and your midwifery skills. Is that even a word? Midwifery? Dell: It's a word. It's definitely a word.

Violet: We're a team. We're partners, Naomi. Sam: You can't just bring somebody in. Pete: Without asking us. Cooper: Yeah. Sam: We're a democracy, we vote. Violet: Yeah. We vote, or it doesn't happen. Naomi: You're right... we should have voted. (pauses) I... was ... wrong. Violet: Good. (pauses) Okay, let's vote. Addison: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. Uh... I have been working here less than 24 hours, and in that time I have discovered that I am not welcomed here. And I learned that I am the one man gynie show... and I performed crazy MacGyver surgery. And Sam saw my booty. So, this has not been a great day for me. This day kinda sucked. But, you know what? I had one patient. One patient, the entire day, and I loved it. So you want me gone? Too bad. I'm in! I'm putting my foot down, my foot's down, it's down. I'm not going anywhere. So... yeah. I thought I -- I thought I had a big finish... But... I don't so... I'm done. (pauses, everyone is silent) No, no, I do have a big finish. If I hadn't been here today, if you had someone else that girl would have died delivering her baby. I saved her life. I saved your asses! I'm a world class, neo-natal surgeon and I'm here to stay. Welcome to the new Oceanside Wellness. (walks out) Naomi: That's why I didn't tell you that she was coming.

Richard: Why is there a letter of resignation on my desk? Addison: I told you. I got a job offer. Richard: I don't want to hear this again. Working at a private medical co-op, moving to L. A. This is not my Addison. My Addison is a world-class neonatal surgeon. My Addison lives to cut. Addison: Your Addison would have been promoted to Chief of Surgery. So, stop 'Addison-ing' me. I want a change. I need a change and this how I'm going to do it. In L.A, at that practice and with those people. Richard: You don't even know anything about those people. Addison: I know plenty. My best friend Naomi, from med school, she's a fertility specialist there and she's an amazing woman. Her ex-husband, Sam, is an internist. You wish you had his people skills. Violet is a psychiatrist, and she's incredible, grounded, strong. Cooper, a pediatrician, one of the best in his field. A pro. And Pete, he does alternative medicine. As a surgeon, I don't believe in that kind of thing, but the man is a healer. Richard: You think you're going to go there and do what? Wear jeans and walk on the beach? Dance in your underwear? Addison: Maybe I'll dance naked. Richard: You belong in the O.R., you'll be back in less than a month, begging for your job back. Addison: No, I won't. I am changing my life. Now, I can walk away angry or I can walk away with your blessing. Either way, Richard, I'm going. Richard: (pauses) I'll keep your job open for as long as I can. (they smile) C'mere. (they hug)

Addison (getting a tour of the practice): You didn't tell them you hired me. Naomi: Oh, they'll get over it. It's fine. Scrub sinks are over there… Addison: You know, Nay, I don't think it's fine to them. To them I am the interloper. I don't lope. Naomi: I own 55 percent of the practice, I made a decision. Addison: And they have to live with that decision. And I-- Naomi: They will get over it. (opens a door) And here is your birthing suite. Addison: But, I deliver babies in a hospital. Naomi: You used to deliver babies in a hospital. And now, unless it's a C-section, you deliver babies here. It's very popular with the patients. Addison: Okay… soooo I guess I should meet my staff. (pauses) I don't have a staff. (laughs) Okay, um… let me see if I… understand this. I left a hospital with a state-of-the-art OBGYN wing and a staff of 60... Naomi: But, you'll have Dell. He's studying to be a midwife. Addison: The cute boy who answers the phone? Naomi: Plus you'll have Pete. Laboring moms love Pete. Addison: The alternative medicine guru? Do you know how many babies I deliver a day? Naomi: Well, here you'll be lucky if you deliver one. Addison: One patient the entire day? Naomi: I told you, we do things differently here. This may be a big city, but this co-op is about practicing small-town medicine. Every patient is special, every patient gets our full attention. It's not about surgeries. It's about connecting. I told you this. Addison: I know… I know. I just-- I just didn't think that it would be one patient the entire day. Naomi: You wanted change, this is it.

Violet: Uh, we need to talk to you. Addison: I'm just gonna go some... Naomi: No, stay. She is staying.

Cooper (to Addison): Do you think there's something wrong with having sex with a woman who wants you to call her... mama?

(hears moaning) Violet: What is that? Cooper: Someone is getting happy. Naomi: Mr. Wilson is giving a sperm deposit. Get away from the door. Sam: That's a loud deposit. Pete: Go Mr. Wilson! Naomi: You guys are so immature these days... Addison: This is definitely different.

Sam: It's a power play. Naomi is trying to show that she has the power. Pete: Why did Addison take the job anyway? Wasn't she a big shot in Seattle? Violet: Is it just me or did Naomi just run over us with a steam roller. Pete: Is she crazy? Sam: Naomi's insane. Pete: I mean Addison. Is she some kind of crazy person who gets kissed once, then decides to change her whole life? Cooper: You kissed Addison? Really? Sam and Violet: Focus! Violet: Look, I know she has the largest chunk in this practice, but we agreed to equal votes. We are supposed to vote! Sam, you oughta do something! Sam: What, me? Violet: This divorce is killing us! You need to apologize. Pete: Just say you were wrong for walking out, so we can go back to being a happy family. Violet: Yeah! Sam: I never... I didn't... I am not apologizing to her. She's the one.... Naomi hires Addison and then moves her in right next door to me. I saw her naked this morning. Cooper: You saw her naked? Pete: Did she look good naked? Sam and Violet: Focus!

Sam: Addison, what're you doing here? Addison: It's not like I look bad naked. A lot of men have enjoyed seeing me naked. A lot. Well, not a lot... I mean.. 8, well... 11. Sam: I mean... here in Los Angeles. Addison: I... didn't Naomi tell you? Sam: Tell me what?

Addison: I didn't come down here because you kissed me. Pete: Okay. Addison: I didn't. Pete: Okay. Addison: I need you to say it. Pete: You did not move down here because I kissed you. (Addison walks away) You so moved down here because I kissed you. Addison: I heard that!
