Meredith: [
voiceover] The Game. They say you
either have what it takes to play, or you don't. My mother was one of
the greats. Me, on the other hand...I'm kinda screwed.
Derek: Oh,
I'm sorry.
Meredith:
For what?
Derek: You
said was.
Meredith:
Oh, my mother's not dead, she's...You know, we don't have to do the
thing.
Derek: Oh,
we can do anything you want.
Meredith:
No, the thing! Exchange the details, pretend we care. So, um, goodbye,
um...
Derek:
Derek.
Meredith:
Derek, right Meredith.
Derek:
Meredith?
Meredith:
Yeah.
Derek: Nice
meeting you.
Meredith:
Bye, Derek.
Bailey: I
have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking
up. I already hate you, that's not going to change.
Meredith:
Katie Bryce is a pain in the ass, and if I hadn't taken the Hippocratic
Oath, I would Kevorkian'ed her with my bare hands.
Katie Bryce:
My heads all full.
Meredith:
It's called thinking. Go with it.
Cristina:
Katie competes in beauty pageants.
Derek: I
know that, but we have to save her life anyway.
Burke: The
only person that can keep a promise that big is God, and I haven't seen
him holding a scalpel lately.
Meredith:
Dr. Shepherd.
Derek: Dr.
Shepherd? This morning I was Derek, now it's Dr. Shepherd.
Meredith:
Dr. Shepherd we should pretend it never happened.
Derek: What
never happened? You sleeping with me last night? Or you throwing me out
this morning? Because both are fond memories I'd like to hang on to.
Meredith:
No, there will be no more memories. I'm not the girl in the bar anymore
and you're not the guy. This can't exist. You get that right?
Derek: You
took advantage of me and now you want to forget it?
Meredith: I
did not take—
Derek: I
was drunk, vulnerable and good looking and you took advantage.
Meredith:
Okay, I was the one who was drunk and you are NOT that good looking.
Derek:
Maybe not today, but last night I was very good looking. I had on my
red shirt, my good looking shirt and you took advantage.
Meredith: I
did not!
Derek:
Would you like to take advantage again, say Friday night?
Meredith:
No! You're an attending and I'm your intern! Stop looking at me like
that.
Derek: Like
what?
Meredith:
Like you've seen me naked.
Meredith:
Did you choose me for the surgery because I slept with you?
Derek: Yes.
[silence] I'm kidding!
Meredith:
I'm not gonna scrub in for the surgery. You should ask Cristina, she
really wants to.
Meredith: [
voiceover] I can't think of a
single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand
reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are
lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a
game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk
away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field.
