Meredith: [voiceover] As doctors, patients are always telling us how they'd do our jobs. Just stitch me up, slap a band-aid on it and send me home. It’s easy to suggest a quick solution, when you don’t know much about the problem or you don’t understand the underlying cause or just how deep the wound is. The first step toward a real cure is to know exactly what the disease is to begin with. But that’s not what people want to hear. We're supposed to forget the past that led us here, ignore the future complications that might arise and go for the quick fix.


Meredith: So- just friends.

Derek: Just friends. You know, technically you tell friends stuff, after which we share the moments of our lives.

Meredith: I'll keep that in mind next time I do a horrible thing.

Derek: No, really, it's OK. I don't want to know. Even if I beg, don’t tell me.


Izzie: [to Cristina, about George] And you’re afraid Burke will realize he makes a better girlfriend than you?


Callie: You didn’t call me.

George: I did, I did, a few times. I just hung up every time.

Callie: Nice, very stalker like. I make you nervous, don’t I?

George: Yeah, a little.

Callie: That’s good.

George: That’s... what?


Meredith: There’s a line, between friends and not friends. And if I tell you this, if I tell you this horrible thing, then you have to react as my friend. Not as my not friend.

Derek: I can do that. Alright, tell me what’s wrong, I'll tell you how to fix it.

Meredith: Ok, are you ready?

Derek: I’m ready.

Meredith: Ugh... I slept with George... and it was a horrible mistake and now everything has changed and I don’t know how to repair it. I don’t even know where to start, but I just know that I have to and... Say something friendly.

Derek: You tell him that. You find George and you apologize.

Meredith: That’s what everyone’s saying, but he won't listen.

Derek: Tell him again. You tell him you’re sorry. Just tell him again and again and again until he listens.

Meredith: How do I do that?

Derek: You do what I do. Use the elevator.


Meredith: [to George, in the elevator] You’re trapped. And you don’t have to talk; I’ll do the talking. George, I am truly, very, deeply sorry. And I’m not going to make excuses, I’m just sorry. Look I know you’re going to get off this elevator and walk away and not look back. But George, we're friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll still be here.


Meredith: [voiceover] As doctors, as friends, as human beings, we all try to do the best we can. But the world is full of unexpected twists and turns. And just when you’ve gotten the lay of the land, the ground underneath you shifts. And knocks you off your feet. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up with nothing more than a flesh wound, something a band-aid will cover. But, some wounds are deeper than they first appear and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip off the band-aid, let them breathe, and give them time to heal.
