Meredith: [voiceover] In hospitals they say you know. You know you’re going to die. Some doctors say it’s a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there’s a scent, a smell of death. Some say there’s just some kind of sixth sense, when the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's creepy. Because if you know, what do you do about it? Forget about the fact that you're scared out of your mind. If you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it?

Meredith: OK, you know when you don't need to be made fun of? Like when you have your hand inside a body that's got a bomb in it and a stranger is Velcro-ing a flak jacket to your boobs.

George: Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. What are we gonna do? I mean, about Dr. Bailey. Can—can we drug her?

Addison: Against her will?

George: No. Well... yes. I mean, can't we force her to push? If, uh... we declare her temporarily insane?

Addison: You want me to declare Miranda Bailey - Miranda Bailey - incompetent? Do you think that'll help, make her more inclined, more comfortable giving birth?

George: I don't know. That’s why I'm asking you.

Addison: Do you think I'm not doing everything I can to help her? I mean, do you think I'm just out here because, I don’t know, I'm feeling lazy, just need a little me time?

George: I'm just asking—

Addison: Stop asking! Because no matter what you ask, the answer is I don't know. I'm doing everything I can—everything I can. Miranda Bailey's husband is in mortal danger—actual mortal danger—and there is not a lot I can say to comfort her because there's not a lot anybody can say to comfort me. I'm doing my best. Dr. Bailey is doing her best. And I need you to do your best, and I need it to be better than standing here asking me the world's stupidest questions. I don't know, O'Malley.

Burke: I cannot do this with you in here. I cannot think.

Cristina: You know in movies how there's a hero and there's always the other guy, the one who sees danger and runs in the opposite direction?

Burke: Yes.

Cristina: Be the other guy.

Meredith: Is this the strangest thing that’s ever happened in your OR?

Burke: I'd have to say it is.

Meredith: Good because I'm very competitive.

Burke: All the best surgeons are.

Meredith: Stop it. I’m not a patient.

Dylan: What?

Meredith: The two of you are looking at me the way we look at patients. Like I’m gonna freak out at any minute. I’m not going to freak out, so whatever it is, just tell me straight out.

Burke': The main oxygen line runs directly under this floor.

Meredith: Okay... Not okay. Well? I need one of you to tell me what this means exactly. Because I think I know what it means. But I tend to be glass half-empty these days. So I won’t trust what I think it means. Because what I think it means is that if the bomb were to explode over the oxygen line, the whole hospital could blow up. And that’s just crazy right?

Meredith: Cristina. I have my hand on a bomb. I’m freaking out. And most importantly, I really have to pee. Tell me anything.

Cristina: He told me he loved me. Last night, he thought I was sleeping, but I heard him say it.

Meredith: Burke loves you.

Cristina: Yeah. [To Dylan] Mind your own business.

Meredith: Burke loves you!

Cristina: Yeah everybody has problems.

Meredith: Well are you gonna say it back, or-

Cristina: Of course not! He didn’t say it to me, he said it to sleeping me! Reciprocity is not required. Besides he might blow up.

Meredith: Excellent point.

[the gurney hits a bump in the floor]

Dylan: Alright everybody. Let’s just keep placing one foot in front of the other [gives Cristina an ‘I told you so' look] . Nice and slow. Alright, Meredith? We’re almost there.

Meredith: Okay.

Dylan: We’re almost there. Nice and easy, right? Alright let’s go. Nice and slow.

Cristina: You had to say you’re going to die today.

Meredith: I told you.

George: Dr. Bailey I'm surprised at you. I really thought — this is not how I thought you would do this. I truly...I expected more. You're Dr. Bailey. You don't hide from a fight. You don't give up. You strive for greatness. You, Dr. Bailey, you are a do-er. I know your husband's not here, and I know there are a lot of things going on here that we have no control over. But this? This — we can do. OK? OK. Let's have this baby.

George: Dr. Bailey, hey, I can see his head. He's got a lot of hair, but he's kind of cute.

Bailey: O'Malley!

George: Yes?

Bailey: Stop looking at my va-jay-jay!

George: Yes, ma'am.

Meredith: Hey.

Derek: Hey. You almost died today.

Meredith: Yeah, I almost died today. [Derek is at a loss for words and starts heading to the door] I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was I'm going to die today and I can't remember our last kiss. Which, is pathetic but the last time we were together and happy, I... want to be able to remember that, and I can't. I can't remember.

Derek: I'm glad you didn't die today. [Starts to leave but stops] It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little 'Dartmouth' T-shirt you look so good in, the one with the hole at the back of the neck. You'd just washed you hair and you smelled like some kind of...flower. I was running late for surgery, you said you were going to see me later, and you lean to me, put you hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. You know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. And you went back to reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed. [Derek starts to leave]

Meredith: Lavender. My hair smelled like lavender...from my conditioner.

Derek: Lavender. Huh. [Smiles then leaves]
