Grey’s Anatomy: No Good at Saying Sorry (One More Chance)
July 5th 2010 19:31
Meredith (VO): Remember when we were little, and we would accidentally bite a kid on the playground? Our teachers would go "Say you're sorry." And we would say it, but we wouldn't mean it. Because the stupid kid we bit, totally deserved it. But, as we get older, making amends isn't so simple. After the playground days are over, you can't just say it. You have to mean it. Of course, when you become a doctor, sorry is not a happy word. It either means you're dieing and I can't help. Or, it means this is really gonna hurt.

Alex: Chicken.
George: Good chicken.
Meredith & Cristina: It's chicken.
Izzie: I know it's chicken! I wanna know what it tastes like.
Alex: Tastes like chicken.
~*~*~
Alex: The shrimp tastes sweet and spicy. Kind of like our first date. The good part, the part before I didn't kiss you on the porch.
Izzie: Okay, nice.
Alex: The chicken, tastes like a drive to the beach with the windows down and the dog hanging out the window, you know, like when you're a kid. It's salty. Tastes good. But, I'd definitely vote for the shrimp if we have to choose.

Mark: I got you a present.
Callie: I told you, you can't give me money. Even if you are a fancy plastic surgeon. I am not your charity case. I am not your mistress. I am your friend, your equal. So...
Mark: It's not money.
Callie: Oh really? 'Cause I was just doing the poor but proud thing for show before I accepted your government cheese.
~*~*~
Meredith: I know Richard Webber's your friend.
Derek: It's not about Richard.
Meredith: It is! It is about him. Because, I have to deal with him on a professional basis everyday. And I have tried to draw a line with him, and he won't respect it. He doesn't respect it. He uses his relationship with you...
Derek: Richard doesn't use his relationship--
Meredith: Stop defending him! Okay, be on my side. I need you to be on my side.
Dere k: Okay.
Meredith: He's not your best friend. He's not your Cristina. Which is why I feel like it's okay to say to you he is not invited to our wedding. Because, I swear Derek, if he's there, I won't be. And I'm the bride, so I have to be. So, I'm begging you please. He's not invited, okay?
Derek: Okay.
Meredith: Thank you.
Derek: Mmhmm.
~*~*~
Derek: You keep saying you're not her father, but you--Okay... you know what? Since we're talking. You're the most professional guy I know, most level headed, except when it comes to Meredith Grey. You gave me hell. You know, you weren't gonna give me Chief because I was dating Meredith Grey. You told her about the ring, you sent her out to the woods to bring me back. That's not running a hospital. You paged her to your office to try and address us. You paged her again today for Thatcher. You have history with her. You keep saying you're not her father, but the way you act, you consider her family. For what it's worth
~*~*~
Meredith: Hey, so, ah, we have to move the wedding up for Izzie. She's...
Derek: Okay. Packing up your mom's journals?
Meredith: Yeah. You know, there's nothing in these for me. I keep thinking, but I don't know. I don't wanna throw them away so I was gonna give them to the Chief. And, he can come to the wedding. If you want. He can come.
~*~*~
Ms. Stevens: I think It's gonna be fine. I think those mats are gonna be just teeny tiny.
Izzie: It's ah, mets mom. Mets.
Ms. Stevens: Mets? Like baseball?
Izzie: Yeah, like baseball.
~*~*~
Ms. Stevens: Excuse me doctor. Oh, excuse me young and yummy doctor.
Alex: Can I help you?
Ms. Steven s: I don't know, can you?
~*~*~
Owen: Nice work today.
Cristina: 'Nice work today'! Seriously?
~*~*~
Meredith (VO): As doctors we can't undo our mistakes, and we rarely forgive ourselves for them. But, it's a hazard of the trade. But, as human beings we can always try to do better. To be better. To right a wrong. Even when it feels irreversible. Of course, I'm sorry doesn't always cut it. Maybe because we use it so many different ways. As a weapon. As an excuse. But, when we are really sorry, when we use it right. When we mean it. When our actions say what words never can. When we get it right I'm sorry is perfect. When we get it right, I'm sorry is redemption.
