(In Burke and Cristina's apartment) 
(Cristina dancing to music from her iPod, while brushing her teeth and getting dressed at the same time)
Meredith VO: After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here's what I've decided. There's no such thing as a grown-up. 
(Burke comes in)
Meredith VO: We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. 
(Burke dances with her. Cristina's phone rings. Burke answers it.)
Burke: Hello? No, Dr. Burke. ... Yes. ... Yes I'll let her know. That was your landlord. He wants you to know that there's a minor flood in your apartment. Your other apartment!
Meredith VO: But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us. 
(In Residential care)
Ellis: I'm exhausted. 
Meredith: Me, too.
Meredith VO: And just when we think that life and circumstances have forced us truly, once and for all become an adult...
Ellis: I was going at it all night in the on-call room. What's your excuse?
Meredith VO: ...your mother says something like that. 
Meredith: Mom. 
Ellis: I tell ya that man makes me purr like a kitten. 
Meredith: Mom! 
Ellis: When he isn't making me growl like a tiger. 
Meredith: Stop! 
(Ellis chuckles to herself) 
Ellis: And my husband wonders why I'm not interested in him anymore.
Meredith VO: Or worse, something like that.
Ellis: If he had any balls at all he would leave on his own. No. He plays stupid. He's waiting for me to kick him out. I come home with a hickey on my shoulder. A hickey! For god's sake like I'm a sex-crazed teenager. Which let's face it these days I am. And what does Thatcher do? Pretends he doesn't see it.
Meredith VO: We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in. 
(In locker room)
Cristina: You know, he's acting like I committed a crime. Like my apartment is full of stolen goods. He's acting like I kept my apartment to hide stolen goods so I can do illegal transactions for money. 
Meredith: Are you sure he's just not acting like you lied about moving in? 
Cristina: Ok, what's wrong with you? 
Meredith: My mommy's a filthy whore.
Izzie: You have dirty in your eyes. 
Alex: You have dirty in your eyes. 
Izzie: I'm not doing dirty with you any more. It was a one time lapse in judgment. 
Alex: Oh it was a 4 time lapse in judgment. 
Izzie: Yeah well it's not gonna happen again. 
Alex: Oh ok. 
Izzie: I'm serious! We're friends and it didn't work when we tried to be more than that so ... as fun as it was, it's not gonna happen again.
Alex: Stop looking at me. 
Izzie: I'm not looking at you. I'm rounding. 
Alex: I'm rounding too. 
Izzie: Fine. 
Alex: Fine.
(In Chuck Eaton's room)
Meredith: Chuck Eaton. 54. Has stage 3B non small cell lung cancer with possible invasion of the pleura. And a history of COPD. He's had extensive chemo-radiotherapy with minimal regression of the tumor. He's been admitted for radical en bloc re-section.
Chuck: I was a smoker. The, ah, oncologist, he explained that I have a 25% chance of surviving the surgery. 
Burke: Well unfortunately that's about right. If you should elect not to proceed we can make you more comfortable. 
Chuck: With all do respect ah- there's no way you can make a man dying a slow death comfortable. I'll roll the dice.
(In hallway)
George: How would you say I looked today? Would you say I looked nice? 
Izzie: Well I say you could use a little more lip gloss but yes you're very pretty. 
George: Oh you're mean. 
Izzie: I'm just kidding. You look fine. 
George: Seriously, how's my breath? (He breathes into her face) 
Izzie: George. Would you just talk to her? 
George: Who, what... 
Izzie: Oh! (in a baby voice): Good morning Dr. Bailey. Hi, big boy!
Bailey: Are the ORs up and running? 
Cristina: Ah yeah fully functional. Except there's some smoke damage to the corridors. 
Bailey (To Meredith): How 'bout you? You fully functional? 
Meredith: I'm fine. How's your husband? 
Bailey: Take him home tomorrow. (in little baby voice) Yes we are. Yeah. Yeah. 
Izzie (joins in): Oh, you're cute. I know you are. 
Bailey: Okay this is not a tea party. Go work. Save some lives. Now!
(In Jake Burton's room)
Cristina: Jake Burton. 15. Has advanced craniodiaphyseal dysplasia. Was admitted last night after complaining of headaches. 
Mrs. Burton: He's not a complainer. 
Mr. Burton: He's been having some nausea as well. 
Derek: Okay may I? Jake, can I get you to sit up please? 
Jake: Sure. 
Derek: Right okay. I want you to look right here for me. Thank you. 
Jake: You know you could pretend I'm a lion. It helps. 
Cristina: Sorry? 
Jake: You could pretend I'm a lion and then instead of a really messed up kid you get a talking circus animal which is way easier to look at. 
Derek: Dr. Yang what's our immediate concern? 
Cristina: Ah that the bony tumors are growing inward and encroaching on his brain. 
(At nurses station)
Mark: Invasive non-cell. With a history of COPD. (he shrugs) That guy's pretty much a goner, huh?
Meredith: Sensitivity. I like that in a stranger. Are you new here? 
Mark: Visiting. Confounded by all the rain and it's only my first day in town. 
Meredith: You get used to it. 
Mark: Makes me wanna stay in bed all day. 
Meredith: We just met and already you're talking about bed. Not very subtle. 
(Derek stands up noticing him through the window of the adjacent office behind the nurses' station. Addison comes up the hallway and looks shocked) 
Mark: Subtle has never been my strong suit. So ... do you ever go out with co-workers? 
Meredith: I um...make it a rule not to. 
Mark: Then I am so glad that I don't work here. 
Meredith: Are you hitting on me? In a hospital? 
Mark: Would that be wrong? 
Meredith: Meredith. 
(All of a sudden Derek punches Mark really hard across the face. Mark falls to the ground) 
Derek: Aah! 
Meredith (stunned): What the hell was that?! 
Derek: That was Mark.
(In conference room)
Richard: Punching out people on my surgical floor! My head of Neurosurgery punching out people on my surgical floor! 
Addison: Put the ice back on your hand. 
Derek: My hand is fine! 
Richard: Put the damn ice on your 2 million dollar a year hand! 
(Derek places the ice-pack back on his hand) 
Richard: Now, would someone tell me what the hell happened? 
Addison: That was Mark. 
Richard: Who's Mark? 
Addison: He and Derek used to work together back in New York. ... ... And umm... They ah... We were all close friends. ... Until, Derek found us in bed together. 
Richard (to Derek): You put your weight behind it? 
Derek: Yes sir. 
Richard: Well, alright then. 
Derek: What the hell is he doing here? 
Addison: I have no idea.
(In trauma room)
Mark: Derek and I always did have the same taste in women. 
Meredith: Excuse me? 
Mark: You're Derek's lusty intern, right? Heard about you all the way back in New York. You're famous. 
Meredith: Hmm, well I heard about you all the way here in Seattle so I guess we have a lot in common. 
Mark: We're the dirty mistresses. 
Meredith: I suppose we are. 
Mark: My 400 dollar an hour shrink says that because behind this rugged and confident exterior, I'm self destructive and self loathing to an almost pathological degree. 
Meredith: Hey, we do have a lot in common. 
Mark: You know it's funny, Derek...(he turns to face Meredith but she grasps his face so he's staring straight so she clean the wound on his cheek) Derek walks in on me naked with his wife actually in the throes. And he just turns around and walks away, but he sees me so much as talking to you and I'm on the ground bleeding. Interesting, don't you think? 
(Meredith doesn't respond. She places a towel on his shoulder and moves to start suturing his face) 
Mark: What do you think you're doing? 
Meredith: You need stitches. 
Mark: I know. Hold the mirror. 
(Meredith gives him a look and hands him the surgical tools. She takes the mirror from him and stands in front of him so he can stitch it up himself)
(Cristina, Alex, Izzie and George watching)
George: Why is he suturing his own face? 
Cristina: To turn me on. 
Alex: Cause he's Mark Sloan. He's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the East Coast. 
George: That's the guy Addison was sleeping with? 
Izzie: You can't really blame her, can you? 
Cristina: No, not really. 
George: Yes you can. 
(Meredith comes up to them) 
Meredith: McSexy wants an x-ray to check for fractures and I think it's a bad idea if I take him. 
George: Why? Why? 
Alex: I'm on it. 
(Alex leaves) 
George: Why is it a bad idea? 
Cristina: McSexy? 
Meredith: No. 
Izzie: McYummy. 
Meredith and Cristina: No. 
Meredith: McSteamy. 
Cristina: Oh there it is. 
Izzie: Yep. 
George: Uh, just ah choking back some McVomit.
(George leaves)
(In ER, getting ready for trauma)
George: I saw her first! The night she met Shepherd, I had her ear. We talked. And I can't even remember what I said. 
Izzie: You know how when you haven't had sex for a while and you sort of forget how good it is and you don't really need it as much? 
George: Yeah, that doesn't happen to guys. 
Izzie: It's like a beast. A beast that was asleep for a long, long time and now, the beast is wide awake! And wants to be fed. And the food that Alex gave it was good food George. 
George: Something needs to be done about your taste. 
Izzie: Oh! You're just jealous because your beast is still asleep. 
George: Heh! My beast isn't asleep. My beast never sleeps!
(In Chuck's room)
Meredith: Mr. Eaton. Do you need a hand with that? 
Chuck: Ah if you could set up the tripod that would be very helpful. 
Meredith: Are you...what are you doing? 
Chuck: I'm dying dear. 1 in 4. I ah, I've never done well with odds like that. Some people are lucky. I just never have been. The camera is for posterity. Saying good-bye. 
Meredith: Do you want me to hold the camera for you? 
Chuck: You're very kind. Thank you. 
(He sits more upright and Meredith turns on the video camera. Chuck wipes his eyes and removes his oxygen tube) 
Meredith: Okay, we're recording. 
Chuck: This, this ah this is a message for Susie Zelman. My college sweetheart and the love of my life. Susie, I loved you with my whole heart. And I never would have stopped loving you if you hadn't been a vilest whore to have ever walked the planet Earth. You deserve that- that drunken imbecile that you slept with and then married. And then at the reunion I met your ugly children, I, I knew that you had done me a real favor! I am so deeply happy that I never have to see your face again. ... Love, Chuck. 
(Meredith doesn't look too impressed. He puts his oxygen tube back in) 
Chuck: Could you please put in a fresh tape dear?
(In X-Ray room)
Alex: I read about that jaw reconstruction you did using a micro-muscular free transfer from the foot. 
Mark: You interested in plastics? 
Alex: Absolutely. 
Mark: Might want to consider a transfer to New York or Los Angeles. You're not gonna see any heat up here. 
Alex: Actually, have you ever seen an advanced case of craniodiaphyseal dysplasia? 
Mark: Lionitis? 
(Alex nods)
(In ER)
Jill: Restrained driver in a minor MVC. Vitals are stable but witnesses saw seizure activity behind the wheel. 
Pamela: I really don't think I even need to be here. 
Izzie: You should really let us determine that ma'am. 
Jill: Witnesses say she was screaming, shuddering and, and cracking her jaw. 
George: Do you have a seizure disorder that you're aware of? 
Izzie: Epilepsy? 
Pamela: Not epilepsy. I don't have epilepsy- Oh no. Oh god it's happening again. Oh no! Oh! Oh! Oh, Oh Ah! Ah! 
(Pamela looks upset that just happened) 
Jill: Was that a ...? 
George: Did she just have a...? 
Izzie: Orgasm.
(Addison came to the ER)
Addison: Spontaneous orgasms? Are you sure? 
Izzie: Oh yes. 
George: Kinda hard to miss. 
Addison: Okay. (They walk up to Pamela) Miss Calva, I'm Doctor Montgomery-Shepherd. 
Pamela: It's Pamela. Since we're gonna be talking about you know. May as well get familiar. 
Addison: Okay, Pamela can you tell me how long this has been happening to you? 
Pamela: For a few months I guess. 
Addison: How often? 
Pamela: About 7 or 8 times a day. 
Izzie: Every day? 
Addison: Eh Dr. Stevens. 
Izzie: I'm sorry. Every day? 
Pamela: Yes. Every day. 
Addison: And you haven't seen a doctor about this before? 
George: It's not exactly something you want to cure is it? 
Addison: Dr. O'Malley! 
George: Sorry. (low tone) Is it? 
Pamela: I went to my doctor. He sent me to a shrink. 
Addison: And he didn't do any tests?
Mr. Calva: Pammy? Are you back here?
Pamela: Oh god no. You called my father?! 
George: He's your emergency contact person. 
Mr. Calva: Pammy, what happened? You were in an accident? 
Pamela: I caused the accident Dad. 
Mr. Calva: You had one of your... 
Pamela: Episodes. Yeah. Oh no. Dang it. (She grabs a pillow to muffle her orgasm) 
Mr. Calva: She's a junior at UW. She's a math major. Last 3 semesters she made the honor roll. High up in the honor roll. 
Addison: Mr. Calva we're gonna run some tests and we're gonna... we're gonna figure out what's causing your daughter's... 
Pamela: Episodes. 
Addison: That's right. Episodes. Ok.
(In Chuck's room)
Chuck: And when you were 14! You stole Laura Brendese right out from under me. You knew how I felt about her! Don't say you didn't know because you knew! And you went for her anyway. What kind of human being does that to his little brother? 
Meredith: He was 14! Cut him slack for god's sake. Oh. Sorry, I forgot we were recording. 
Chuck: If you wouldn't mind rewinding just a little bit. Please? 
(Meredith shuts the video cam and stands up) 
Meredith: I'm a doctor. Not a videographer and I do need to prep you for surgery. 
Chuck: But you offered to help. 
Meredith: When I thought you were saying goodbye. 
Chuck: I am saying goodbye. None of these people. Not one of them knows how I really feel. My whole life, I've kept it all inside. I, I don't want to carry this with me to my grave. 
Meredith: You seem like such a nice man. Wouldn't you just rather them remember you that way? 
Chuck: No. ... Please rewind the tape.
(Jake getting an MRI)
Cristina: Okay Jake it can get a little cramped in there so you have to try not to move. 
Jake: Yeah uh this is like my 50th MRI experience. 
Cristina: Right, sorry. 
(Cristina presses a button and Jake starts moving into the machine) 
Jake: It's okay. You have really nice eyes. 
(Cristina presses the button to stop) 
Jake: I'm just saying you're mostly all surly and hard core but your eyes aren't. I'm really big on eyes. The only part of my face where the tumors aren't growing. 
Cristina: Yeah, you've got nice eyes. 
Jake: Yeah? 
Cristina: Mmm Hmm. 
Jake: You, you get that I'm jailbait right?
(Cristina smiles)
(Meredith walking out into the hallway)
Richard: Meredith. 
Meredith: Chief. ... Chief, can I ask you something? Not worked related? 
Richard: Mmm okay. 
Meredith: Do you remember my father?
Richard: Of course. 
Meredith: Do you know why he left? 
Richard: I believe your mother asked him to. 
Meredith: Right but do you know why? 
Richard: No. No I'm sorry I don't. Well have a good day. 
Meredith: Thanks, you too.
(Derek and Cristina walking into Jake's room)
Derek: Dr. Yang, book an OR please.
(Mark and Alex in Jake's room)
Mrs. Burton: How, how is that possible? 
Mark: It's precision work. It won't be easy but... 
Derek (interrupts): Dr. Sloan, can I help you with something? 
Jake: He says he can fix my face. He says he can make me look like normal.
(Alex and Cristina watching Derek and Mark argue in Richard's office)
Alex: What did he say? Did you hear that? 
Cristina: Did he call him a crack-whore? 
Alex: You call him that. 
Cristina: Oh shut up. I'm trying to read lips. Shepherd's gesturing! Big gesturing! 
(George walks up to them) 
George: What do you got? 
Alex: Shepherd, Sloan battling it out. 
Cristina: Oh it's getting good! 
Alex: Why what do you got? 
(George shrugs and acts very casual) 
George: Just a woman down in the E.R ... having spontaneous orgasms. 
(Both Cristina and Alex turn to stare at George. They all sprint off. Cristina is a little behind) 
Cristina: Hey, wait, wait, wait!
(In Richard's office)
Derek: That is not the point! 
Mark: The point is that the kid wants his face fixed! 
Derek: The point is you wanna get published! 
Mark: Well yeah and I'm guessing your Chief of Surgery does too. You know how the press love a good before and after shot Richard. 
Richard: Call me Dr. Webber. 
(Derek looks smug) 
Richard: Derek out of friendship to you I would very much like to say no to this ... jackass. But as Chief ... 
Derek: Please don't say it. 
Richard: Dr. Sloan if you can get the parents to sign a consent form ... 
Mark: Round two goes to the jackass.
(In ER)
Cristina: Which one? Which one? 
George: Twelve o'clock. 
Pamela: Oh no! Oh no it's happening! (Pamela starts having an orgasm. Cristina and Alex look very amused. Addison notices them and quickly closes the curtain to give her privacy) 
Addison: Doctors. Is there something you need? 
George: No. No. 
(Alex shakes his head) 
Cristina: No. 
Addison: Well in that case move on. 
(They turn around and start heading out back the way they came) 
Cristina: I don't get what McDreamy and McSteamy see in her. 
Alex: She's McHot. 
George: McYeah she is.
(On the brigde to Richard's office)
Mark: Oh come on, you're not even a little bit happy to see me? 
Addison: Go home! Whatever it is you came here to do, just drop it and leave. 
Mark: Hey we all make mistakes Addison. All 3 of us... 
Addison: Mark. 
Mark: but somehow, somehow I lost my best friend and the woman I loved. 
Addison: Please don't say that. 
Mark: He doesn't know how we felt. He doesn't know you stayed with me after he left? How do you expect to work out a marriage if you can't even be honest with him? 
Addison: Why are you here? 
Mark: For one reason. To bring you home. I miss you, Addison. 
Addison: I'm in love with my husband, Mark. 
Mark: But he's not in love with you. He's in love with that intern and he's not even trying to hide it. Why would even want to stick around for that?
(In Cafeteria, Meredith and Cristina eating George, Izzie and Alex joins)
Alex: I think you're making it up. 
Izzie: He's not. I saw it four times.
Meredith: What? 
George: Woman with spontaneous orgasms. 
Cristina: Oh yeah, uh huh. 
Meredith: Really? 
George (to Alex): You're just jealous because you didn't see it yourself. 
Alex: Totally am.
Meredith: Spontaneous orgasms? Really? 
George (to Meredith in a low voice): You look really nice today. 
Cristina: Any chance they're contagious? 
Meredith: I mean spontaneous orgasms that would solve so many problems. 
George: It would. It would. (again in a low voice) I think you smell nice too. 
Cristina: You know it's like you see someone throw up, makes you wanna throw up too. Kinda like that? 
Izzie: Kinda like. 
(She glances at Alex. He's grinning and laughing silently at her. She tries not to laugh) 
Izzie: You know what? I'm not hungry. (to Alex) Do you hear me? I'm not hungry. Neither is the beast. 
(Izzie gets up and leaves) 
Cristina: The beast? Is that like some sly reference to your penis? 
Alex: Get your mind out of the gutter crack-whore. 
Cristina: Mmm. 
(George and Meredith laugh) 
George: No it's not Alex's penis. It's, you know when you haven't had sex for a long time and you forget how good it is, so you want it less? 
(Both Cristina and Meredith look at him weirdly) 
Cristina: Yeah that doesn't happen to me. 
Meredith: Me either. 
George: Me either.
(CT room)
George: I grew my hair for her and... 
Izzie: I know. 
George: And I don't even think she's noticed. 
Izzie: You could just try telling her how you feel. 
(The scans that come up and really blurry) 
CT Tech: Uh guys, she's moving. Like a lot. 
Izzie (speaks into the mic): Pamela you have to hold still. 
(They hear Pamela having an orgasm through the mic. The CT tech looks amused. Izzie switches off the mic) 
Izzie: Okay. 
George: That's not helping the beast sleep. 
Izzie: Ah no. No it's not.
(In Jake's room)
Alex: You're drawing the medial to the tumor. 
Mark: It's a guideline for what the bone structure should be. 
Jake: You hear that? I'm gonna have bone structure. 
(His parents and Derek walk in)
Mrs. Burton: Jake. 
Jake: What do you think am I Dali or more of a Picasso? 
Mr. Burton: (To Mark) Could you stop doing that for a minute please? (To Jake) Jake, Jake I'm sorry. This surgery, the brain surgery is very dangerous. 
Jake: Oh don't say that. You, you don't get to change your mind. 
Derek: You know I know Dr. Sloan has made you some big promises ... but the bony tumors inside your skull are bad. 
Jake: I don't care! 
Derek: The bleeding will be hard to control. I'm not trying to frighten you. I just want you to understand. 
Jake: I do understand this...I understand this has nothing to do with plastic surgery. So, so if I'm going to be under the knife anyway then I- 
Mr. Burton: The plastic surgery can be done at some- 
Mark: I'm sorry to interrupt. 
Derek: What you need to understand -
Mark: Excuse me Jake is actually right. No reason to put him through a second surgery and a second round of anesthesia. 
(Alex nods)
Mark: It's much safer to just do it all at once. 
Mrs. Burton: Honey we just want to focus on keeping you alive. 
Jake: Come on mom. I almost died when I was ten years old. And then again when I was twelve. And then again last year. But, but I'm still alive. I'm still alive. So, so I say we go for it. 
Mrs. Burton: Jake. 
Jake: Look, I...I know that you think I'm perfect just the way I am but ... that's your job to do that. But ... for once in my life I'd like to think to that someone else thought that. Please Please?
(In nurse station)
Derek: You've given up surgery to go into clerical work? 
Meredith: I'm fulfilling a patient's dying wish to send hate mail to everyone he's ever met. 
Derek: Ah. ... Right now I understand the impulse. 
Meredith: Me too. Why do people cheat? 
Derek: That's a good question. 
Meredith: Why do you think she cheated on you? Were you different then? Were you a bad husband?
Derek: I was ah ... I was just a little absent. Not that that's an excuse for her. 
Meredith: Do you think things would have been different if you'd had kids? 
Derek: Do I think she wouldn't have cheated? ... I don't know. 
(They just look at each other for a bit. Mark comes up to the doorway) 
Mark: Alright man Jake's ready to roll. I'm sorry did I interrupt something? 
Meredith: No it's fine.
(In CT room)
Izzie: Pamela you should really try and relax. 
Pamela: I am trying to relax. The episodes happen when I won't relax. 
(Izzie helps Pamela stand up) 
Pamela: Do you really think you can fix this? 
Izzie: I uh hate to be insensitive but ah would it be the worst thing ever if we can't? I mean ...
Pamela: You know I like sex as much as the next girl. Like in bed or even private. But when you can't go to the movies or drive a car or go to church with your parents. 
Izzie: Oh my god. 
Pamela: You know that dream where you show up at high school and you're naked? 
Izzie: Yeah. 
Pamela: Yeah well I would really, really like to wake up. 
(Izzie nods)
(In Burke's OR)
Meredith: It's crossed the intra-thoracic fascia? 
Burke: I'm afraid so. I'm gonna have to go into the chest wall. 
Meredith: He made 17 hate tapes. 
Burke: I'm sorry? 
Meredith: Video-tapes of himself. Telling people how much he hated them. Spewing every hurt feeling he ever had. 
Burke: And he mailed them? 
Meredith: No he wanted me to but I don't think it's a good idea. He was scared. He was in shock. He wasn't thinking clearly. 
Burke: That's not for you to decide Dr. Grey. He asked you for something. You told him you would do it. If you don't, that doesn't make you noble. It makes you a liar. 
(Meredith glances at him) 
Burke: Did you know she kept her apartment? 
Meredith: Yeah I did. Sorry.
(In Derek's OR)
Bailey (to her son): Now, Dr. Shepherd is opening the skull cap. 
Alex: Is it harder to get through the bony tumors?
Derek: It's a little more dense.
Bailey (to her son): That's what he's doing. Yes he is. 
Derek: Basin. This is done. Cottonoid. Hang another unit of blood. I've got it.
(Cristina and Alex is watching in the OR.) 
(Mark is standing near the side ready to start the plastic surgery.) 
Derek: Oh, son of a bitch. We're loosing him. Give me the sponge.
(All of sudden Jake's heart monitor starts beeping rapidly) 
Derek: Alright I need another unit of blood! 
Cristina: I've got it. 
Bailey: Oh no that's too much blood. 
Derek: Put in the pressure and fusia. 
Alex: No carotid. We've got V-FIB. 
Derek: CPR and bag him. He's loosing a lot of blood. Someone get FFP.
Mark: Paddles, get the paddles. Carge to 200.
Nurse: Charging.
Derek: Stand back.
Mark: Clear
(Jake flatlines)
(Empty O.R with Jake's dead body. Cristina and Alex are suturing him closed)
Alex: Shame he never had his face fixed. 
(In attendings louge)
Alex: Dr. Sloan? 
Mark: Yeah? 
(In the morgue with Jake's body on a table. Cristina and Alex are standing there scrubbed up. Mark comes in) 
Mark: Alright, I got the parents approval. 
(Cristina and Alex move to put their scrubs masks on) 
Mark: You don't ... really need those. 
Alex: Right. 
Mark: Scalpel. 
(Alex hands Mark the scalpel)
(In Chuck's room)
Burke: Mr. Eaton, can you hear me? 
Chuck: Oh god. Ugh. 
Burke: Don't try to sit up. You're gonna be in pain for sometime. But I'm please to report that we removed the entire tumor. 
Chuck: I'm alive? 
Burke: Yes sir, you are alive. 
Chuck: My tapes ... 
(Meredith holds up a bag filled with envelopes) 
Meredith: Would you like me to throw them away? 
Chuck: No. I'd like you to mail them. I've said my peace. Sometimes a man has to say his peace.
(At nurses station)
(Meredith anxiously looking up a phone book.) 
George: Mer! Do you want...I want to take you ... out for a drink tonight. Maybe not Joe's, maybe some place where we can talk? You know there's something I need...I want (he chuckles) to talk to you about. 
(Meredith is still looking through the book)
George: It's important. 
(Meredith rips out a page from the phonebook) 
Meredith: I don't want to make video tapes on my deathbed George. 
(Meredith walks away leaving George just standing there)
(Meredith is standing outside a house and rings the doorbell looking sad. She rings the bell again after a bit. A 50 year old or so man walks up to the door. He peers through the glass in the door and looks stunned as he realizes who Meredith is. He opens up the door. Meredith is standing looking teary-eyed) 
Meredith: She had an affair. 
Thatcher: Ye...yes. 
Meredith: Why didn't you stay and fight for us? 
(Thatches steps outside and closes the door) 
Thatcher: I did. I tried. 
Meredith: Why didn't you try harder? You just left. 
Thatcher: Meredith. 
(Meredith wipes a tear away)
Thatcher: Is there anything you need? Anything at all? 
Meredith: No. ... I don't need anything from you.
(Meredith walks away)
(Derek is entering an empty elevator. Addison quickly stops the doors from closing and hops on the elevator as well) 
Addison: Hey. 
Derek: Hey. 
Addison: I haven't seen you all day. 
Derek: I didn't want to see you today. 
Addison: It's not my fault he showed up Derek. 
Derek: I know. 
(The doors open on a new floor revealing Mark. Mark steps in and Derek and Addison step to the side. Mark hits a button) 
Mark: Don't beat yourself up. 
Derek: I'm taking the stairs. 
Mark: Oh come on. How come you can forgive her but not me? 
Derek: I didn't forgive her and with you I have no obligation to try! 
(Derek walks away and the doors close. Addison leans back against the wall looking upset and tired) 
Mark (in a quiet voice): Your marriage is over Addison. All you have to do is admit it. And you can come back home with me. I'm going to the bar across the street. Meet me there.
(In the morge)
(Cristina and Alex are letting Jake's parents into the morgue to let them see Jake after the plastic surgery. Mrs. Burton strokes Jake's hair) 
Mrs. Burton: He looks ... peaceful. 
Mr. Burton: He does. 
(They leave the morgue and Cristina covers up Jake's body. They all leave)
(In Burke's apartment)
Cristina: Um...
Burke: I am Preston Burke! A widely renowned cardio-thoracic surgeon. I am a professional and more than that, I am a good and kind person. I am a person that cleans up behind myself! I am a person that cooks well. And you, you are an unbelievable slob. A slovenly, angry intern. I am Preston Burke! And you, you are the most competitive, most guarded, most stubborn, most challenging person I have ever met! And I love you. What the hell is the matter with you that you won't just let me? 
Cristina: I gave up my apartment 20 minutes ago. 
Burke: Well alright then. 
Meredith VO: I've heard that it's possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it.
(In Pamela's room)
Pamela: Dr. Stevens, after the surgery will I still be able to...when I want to will I still be able to have (she glances at her sleeping Dad and lowers her voice) you know, episodes. 
Izzie: Even better Pamela, you'll be able to have orgasms.
Meredith VO: Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. 
(Izzie walks up to George) 
Izzie: Hey. 
George: She doesn't hear me. 
(Izzie sits down next to George) 
Izzie: What? 
George: She doesn't even hear me when I talk. 
Izzie: She will if you make her.
George: You fed the beast didn't you? 
Izzie: Twice. 
(Alex is waiting for Izzie a few feet way.) 
Izzie: I'll see you later. 
George: Bye.
(Izzie runs up to Alex and they walk off together)
Meredith VO: We whisper secrets with our best friend, in the dark. 
(In Nursing home)
Richard: Meredith came to see me today. 
Ellis: Hmm. Poor baby. Poor thing. Her father left, you know? 
Richard: I think she knows about us Ellis. I think she's figured it out. 
Ellis: She's 5 years old, Richard.
Meredith VO: We look for comfort where we can find it. 
Mark: This seat taken? 
Meredith: I guess not. 
Mark: (To Joe) Double Scotch. Single malt. (To Meredith) You look sad.
Meredith: I just saw my father for the first time in 20 years. 
Mark: How'd that go? 
Meredith: Could've gone better. What are you still doing here? 
Mark: I'm hoping Addison shows up. 
Meredith: You're still in love with her? 
Mark: You're still in love with him. 
Meredith: She won't show you know. 
Mark: No? 
Meredith: He's not the kind of guy you leave if you can help it. 
Mark: What if you're wrong? What if just this once ... life comes down on the side of the dirty mistresses?
Meredith VO: And we hope against all logic, against all experience...
(Derek is lying down on the bed looking tired. Addison is sitting iat the kitchen table, looking upset.)
Meredith VO: like children, we never give up hope.
(In Meredith's room)
(Door Knock) 
Meredith: Come in. 
(George opens the door and enters and closes it behind him.) 
George: I know I'm not a world renowned surgeon and I know I'm not a lot of things that you've gone for in the past. I know. ... But ... I would never leave you ... I would never hurt you ... and I will never stop loving you. 
(Meredith is silent and just stares at George. Meredith lifts his shirt off him and they lean in to kiss.)
