Grey's Anatomy S3E8 - English Transcript

Previously on Grey's Anatomy: - This where Georgie lives? - Oh, George. - O'Malley! - She dumped me. Don't chase me unless you're ready to catch me. You erased my name from Burke's Humpty Dumpty surgery. What I don't know is why? - You OK? - Absolutely. Stop worrying. Nobody has to know. I saw you there. At the nursing home with my mother. - She lights up when you're around. - I want to start over. - You're not going to retire. - I need more time. - I don't have any more time to give. - It's about your dad, George. My dad? Many people don't know that the human eye has a blind spot in its field of vision. There's a part of the world that we are literally blind to. - What did I say? - Seriously. - Seriously. - Seriously. Seriously, we're taking it slow. Oh, I can take it slow. I can take it incredibly slow. We're taking it slower than that. We're starting fresh. Starting fresh means no sex because? Because we started with sex last time and it didn't go very well. Plus, the waiting is fun. And we need fun. From now on, I want to be bright and shiny. Bright and shiny, huh? The problem is, sometimes our blind spots shield us from things that really shouldn't be ignored. Mom. The nurses tell me you haven't been eating. No time. Been in the OR all morning. I've got back to back surgeries so I'm sorry I haven't been visiting. I don't have time to coddle you right now. I'm trying to save lives here. Do you understand? Do you? - Dr. Grey. - Chief. Richard! For me? You shouldn't have. The nurses said she hasn't been eating. You wonderful man. - I'm interrupting. I'll go. - No! Chief You stay and I'll go. Sometimes our blind spots keep our lives bright and shiny. Today's the day, people. Today is the day when dark and twisty Meredith disappears forever, and bright and shiny Meredith takes her place. You won't wanna be friends with me because the intensity of my happiness will make your teeth hurt. But that's OK because life is good. Life is good. - What's going on? - George's dad got admitted. - Oh, my God. Is he OK? - Oh, no, he's fine. He passed out and fractured his clavicle. His clavicle's fine. Callie said it's going to be fine. - Are those his a. m. labs? - Severe abdominal pain. - No peritoneal signs. That's good. - Has anybody seen? - Just looking at it. - Don't you think me reading it - is more important than you reading it? - Sure. Fine. He's going to be fine. You're on scut today. You'll be distracted. No, I won't Family members do not treat family members. I'm scrubbing in on a surgery with Dr. Burke this morning. Of course you are. Karev, Sloan. Grey, pit. Stevens, shadow Karev. And let me remind you again of the rules of your probation. I think she knows the rules, Dr. Bailey. No touching patients, no talking to patients, no rolling your eyes at the patients or your superiors. Hey! Good morning, Addison. - What's that supposed to mean? - A greeting. Used in civilized cultures by their civilized inhabitants. - You're smiling. - Yeah. It's called happiness. - You wouldn't recognize it. - Wait, wait, wait. We're being mature about this? Yes, we are going to peacefully coexist in this hospital. Unless you've reconsidered moving back to New York. OK, then. We'll peacefully coexist. - Interesting. - We're adults. We're educated. We're capable of many things. Let's shake on it. So I'm still wearing the rings. - They're stuck. - Have you tried soap? I hear it's good and slippery. - You are a very strange person, Derek. - I am just bright and shiny, Addison. Bright and shiny. So then I popped his shoulder right back in. He didn't even flinch. - Your brother is hardcore. - What are? - Looks like you've got a full house. - Just waiting on the wife. She's in D. C. Chaperoning a field trip. - She's coming tonight. - His clavicle's hurting so I added p. r. n. morphine every four hours. I've scheduled your endoscopy for this afternoon. - An endo-what? - Scope. That's like a camera. - That sounds dangerous. - It's not dangerous. OK, I didn't ask you, I asked the doctor. - Let the doctor speak, Georgie. - White coat. Look at the white coat. What about an X-ray? I had that and - Shut up. Both of you shut up! - O'Malley! What? N Ah, excellent. My invaluable intern. Is it "bring a hot blond to work" day? No one told me. - *** harassment. - Dr. Stevens is shadowing me today. Which one of those cases you need us on? It's a really tragic one. I found out just this morning I have over two weeks worth of dry cleaning needs to be picked up, stat. Cool. That's it? We're like a well-oiled machine, you and me. I also need you to get me a sandwich from that pathetic excuse for a deli. You know the one I like. Go easy on the mayo this time. I think he's trying to kill me. I don't see why I can't help with my dad's endoscopy. What about "no working with family" do you not understand? - I'm not asking to do the - Fine. Pick an intern. - What? - I'm being kind. You want an intern assigned to your dad? Fine. Who do you want? Right now. Pick an intern. Excellent. Now we want to place a partial occluding clamp on the aorta. Slowly. Good. Now, we want to make sure that all the grafts are de-aired before you remove the venous and aortic cannulas. - Letting her decannulate the heart? - Freaking unbelievable, huh? - What do we have? - Mia Hanson, five-year-old female. Crush injury to abdomen, blunt trauma to head. BP 90 over 60, pulse 110. - How was she injured? - Backed over by her mom's SUV. Her blood type is A negative. And she's allergic to penicillin I am so sorry, Mia! I am so sorry, baby! - Has she had anything to eat today? - Cereal this morning around 6::30. - Mrs. Hanson, we'll take care of her. - I'm Mrs. Hanson. Mia is my child. Anna is just the nanny who ran over my daughter! I'm going to examine your neck. It's OK, Mia. My name's Meredith. Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Bailey are trying to see where you're hurt. - What the hell happened? - She ran over Mia in the driveway. - She what? - Mia wasn't supposed to be there. Mrs. Hanson told me to go get some milk and I didn't see her. How do you not see a child standing in the driveway? - And where were you? - What? - You couldn't watch Mia? - I was supposed to be in court. - On the phone? - I let them know I was late. - Instead of watching Mia? - So now this is my fault? It's the car's fault, OK? SUVs have blind spots the size of Jupiter. Yelling and fighting and placing blame is not going to help your child. - Is she gonna be OK? - She has blood in her ear canal. We need to get her upstairs for a CT. OK. Ready? - It's going to be OK, baby girl. - Get away from her. - Now. - What? - Get out! - All right. Come on. Let's get her up. I can't believe you You just decannulated a heart all by yourself. I didn't. I assisted Dr. Burke who decannulated a heart. - Modest looks weird on you. - It's not a big deal, George. How's your father? Anything new? He needs an endoscopy. And Bailey won't let me be the intern on this case. She said I could pick and I wondered if Cristina could be the intern? - Why? - Shouldn't be a problem. Yes it is. We have a carotid endarterectomy scheduled at noon. I'll push it. O'Malley's father deserves the best. - Thank you, Dr. Burke. - Not a problem. Your dad better get something interesting wrong with him real fast. You're a sick, sick, horrible person. - Tell me why you put up with this? - He'll crack and let me in on a case. You sure you want to do plastics that badly? There you are. What, did you go all the way to New York for my pastrami? Extra spicy, lettuce, light on mayo. Mark, what are you doing? Lunch. Want my pickle? Seattle Grace is a teaching hospital. Part of your job is to teach. Your interns aren't your slaves. Fine. No pickle for you. - Did you see that? - Hmm? Sloan. He's using his interns to pick up his dry cleaning and lunch. I gotta do an endoscopy. What is going on with the men in this hospital? How you doing, Mr. Jeffries? Ah, Frank's doing OK. He'd be doing a lot better if the twins were even. - Twins? - Frank's new pecs. - Who is Frank? - You're looking at him. Frank, these are interns. I'm supposed to be teaching them. Apparently, this is a teaching hospital. Karev? Yeah. Frank Jeffries is post-op day three from pectoral enhancement surgery. There was a complication when a seroma formed. - And what is a seroma? - Build up of blood and fluid. - Sorry. - That concludes today's teaching. A tube was inserted in his chest to drain the excess fluid. Check the tube for output and change his dressings. Dr. Stevens, I guess you can watch. - Dr. Stevens is an excellent doctor. - Yeah. That's what I hear. - You decannulated a heart. - I didn't. Yes, you did. And when Burke and I were fishing, I noticed something weird with his hand. Like a spasm. I'm sorry. Why are you even saying that? That is not funny. I didn't say it was funny. I said it was weird. And him letting you decannulate a heart is weird. You should sit with your father. You should worry about him. My father is fine. He's going I have a good Don't This is Burke. Do you think that? I want Anna. OK, Mia. Mommy and Daddy are here. We are just going to take some pictures, OK? This is a big camera. I don't like it. Grey, keep her still. Mia, baby, it's OK, Mommy's here. Where's Anna? You need to lie very still, OK? I want Anna. How about I sing you the good night song? And you pretend it's bedtime and stay super still, OK? OK. Good night, Mia Good night, Mommy Good night, Daddy No! You're singing it wrong! I am? I'm singing it wrong? Um I want Anna. She's in the waiting room. I'll get her. John. Let's all sing it together, OK? No. I want Anna. - So now you pick a car. - OK. Mmm, 1968 Mustang GT 390 fastback. That's interesting. Wow, that is hot. That is very hot. - Car. - Uh-huh. Hey, Georgie. How's Dad? They're not done yet, but he's fine. Can I talk to you? - Sure. - Hey Excuse me. - What are you doing? - Talking to your brothers. - You don't have to do that. - It's OK. I don't mind. Ronny and Jerry both have a thing for me. I was going to go with Jerry, until he went all 1957 Bel Air. - I was like, "Really?" - Thanks for trying to help my family, but it's really not necessary. George. I'm kidding about your brothers, come on. Callie, I'm serious. I can handle my family on my own. You broke up with me, remember? We may have to do a partial nephrectomy. - Think you can save Mia's kidney? - If we can control the bleeders. Cauterize as I go. Thank you. Poor baby. It's not going to be an easy recovery. With parents like that, she didn't have it easy to begin with. People do the best they can. They don't know their kid's blood type. They don't know her favorite song. People want high-powered careers. I get that, but they should think twice before having kids. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean What? That I should be home with my baby instead of here with this little girl and a surgical intern who can't cauterize the bleeders? - Dr. Bailey - If I were you, Dr. Grey, I would keep my eye on the surgical area and my mouth shut. O'Malley. How's it going with your dad? Good. Chief's doing the endoscopy. He's in good hands. That was an amazing surgery, the way you let Cristina decannulate. - She shows tremendous promise. - She says she didn't do it. Probably didn't want to rub it in. Make anyone jealous. We're talking about Cristina. - Everything all right with you? - Sure. Just fine. If anything ever wasn't, you know, you could talk to me, right? You've been through a lot lately. Getting shot. - All that, it can't be easy. - Yeah. Has it not been easy? It's fine. Send my best to your dad. OK. - Hey. - Hey. This civil and mature thing? How far does it go? - Mmm, meaning what? - Is it pleasantries in the hallway - or do we actually interact? - That sounds drastic. I'm worried about Richard. He seems down. He's separated from his wife. It doesn't make a person giddy. Except in my case. - He could use somebody to talk to. - So talk to him. No, I think we both should. So it's clear he has people to turn to. - Because he's a little depressed? - I don't think he's spoken to Adele. He's our friend. He's been there for us. When you get divorced, doesn't that mean your wife stops nagging you? - If you took the rings off it'd help. - You gonna come with me or not? - Fine. Yes. OK. - Thank you. And I will try soap. - For the rings, I mean. - OK. Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talking about. Oh, look at you! Do they still look lopsided? I mean, from the seroma? - Most of the swelling has gone down. - Yeah? Oh, yeah. Dr. Stevens, would you take a look at the twins? Frank would like a woman's perspective. - You're just looking. - Nice! Uh, yep. Looks pretty even to me. Very defined. The redness should go away in a couple of days. Good, good. Frank got them for his girlfriend. She won't see them till they're perfect. - She asked you to get pec implants? - Oh, no, no. She joined a gym and got a trainer named Lars. What kind of a name is that? Lars? So you got fake pecs because you're jealous of a guy with a fake name? Well, my last girlfriend, Veena, left me for a guy with hair. So I got plugs, too late. This time around Frank's not taking any chances. Frank sees the signs of discontent, Frank's fighting back. Oh, yeah. I just don't get the whole fake *** thing. No offense. These are top of the line. They look real, they feel natural. No, really. Feel them. Really. Come on. Feel them. Ooh. - Very solid. - And real. - I don't know about that. - Well, compare them to his. - I'm not involved. - Come on. Don't be such a baby. This? This is why I don't work with interns. Ms. Hanson? - Is she all right? - We were able to stop the bleeding. Dr. Shepherd has ordered an MRl of her skull fracture. Hopefully she won't need any more surgery. - Thank God. - She's in recovery. - Dr. Grey will take you up to her. - Thank you. Can we wait a minute? My husband went down to use a landline. His battery died. - Sure. - So, Mia, she's OK? Oh, she is. Yeah. She keeps asking for Anna. We fired Anna. Oh. She just seems very attached to her. That's my fault, according to my husband, because I'm a working mother. He's a working dad, but apparently, that's not the issue. I love my job. I love Mia more. She's my baby. She's my I love my daughter and I love my job. I'm not good at the mom stuff, but I'm good at my job. Why have a kid if you're only gonna see it on weekends and holidays? - You might as well just get a cat. - I talked to Burke, I think he's fine. - You did what? - What's wrong with Burke? Nothing's wrong with anybody. He let her decannulate a heart. You decannulated a heart this morning? By yourself? - ***. - No, not by myself. - Now she's lying. - Yang decannulated a heart. - Why is Alex not surprised? - Izzie isn't either. Last week Izzie dug through crap. This week she's fondling manboobs. - No decannulating hearts for Izzie. - Why aren't you bragging about it? - I didn't decannulate the heart. - Izzie and Alex do not believe you. What are you two doing? Izzie and Alex's patient speaks about himself in the third person. Thought it was annoying, now they like it. - Good. Is it going to stop soon? - Wow, what happened? You were bright and shiny, asking to be kicked in the face. I am. I'm bright. I'm shiny. Yeah. Izzie thinks this "bright" thing is getting old. Alex agrees. - We think you're depressed. - Both of you? - Yes. - Yes. For the two of you to agree on something, I must be suicidal. - We agree on things. - We agree on this. So, start talking. Adele and I She wants me to step down as chief. Retire. You retire? That's crazy. What would you do? - Spend more time with his wife perhaps? - She's unreasonable. - Marriage is a priority. - She's using work as an excuse. Or he is. Some men use work. Some men use other women. - Some women use other men. - I've been visiting Ellis Grey. - I was lonely and you had checked out. - I work, I visit Ellis, that's my day. - You gave up on us first. - I make time for Ellis, not for Adele. There's a wedge between Richard and Adele. You don't see it, I do. So does Adele. - Maybe he doesn't wanna do anything. - He's got to. That's what marriage is built on. Change keeps marriage alive. - He can do whatever he wants to do - Stop helping me. Look, I miss my wife. I want her back. I don't want my marriage to be over. Richard, your marriage isn't over until you decide it is. Until you decide that the sacrifice just isn't worth it. Right. Come in. Oh, Yang. What is it? - O'Malley. - Yeah. I have your father's test results. You gotta ask for it. We've been waiting forever. Where's the doctor? Dr. Webber will be in shortly. They don't tell you anything, huh? Not until you're a real doctor. I am a real doctor. Ronny! I'm just not Dad's doctor. - What is it, Georgie? - Let's just wait for Dr. Webber. - He's expecting you to talk with him. - Did he say he was coming in? No, he's coming in later. You should tell your dad. What's with the whispering? The biopsy results were abnormal. Is abnormal bad or just different? Georgie? Sir, you have cancer in your esophagus which has spread to your stomach. And we need to operate to remove it and you'll need to undergo chemotherapy and radiation. I'm sorry. They're gonna try to operate soon. This week, I think. It's stage three metastatic cancer, so And my brothers are And Callie slept with Sloan. I just can't I just can't I can't deal with any of it. I spent the day worrying about Burke, there was something wrong with Burke. There's nothing's wrong with Burke and My dad's got cancer, and I can't even look him in the face. Cristina had to tell him what was wrong. Cristina. Nobody gets it right with their own family. - I certainly don't. - Yeah. Yeah. Callie slept with Sloan? I don't get you people. Us with the ***? We make a lot of bad decisions. Dude, I still can't believe you went through all this for a chick. - You never did anything crazy for love? - Not like this. - Do you have a girlfriend? - No. Dr. Stevens? Frank can sense the vibes. - I'm not talking about this with you. - She left you for another guy? Ooh. Frank'*** a nerve. It's more complicated than that. Uncomplicate it then, man. Grand gestures is what I'm talking about. Be like Frank. Figure out what she wants and make it happen. She'll forget all about the other guy. Trust Frank. Frank knows. - Hey, what we got? - The second MRl report shows bleeding in Mia's brain. Oh, damn it. I gotta go in. Try to relieve the pressure. - Two surgeries in one day? - Well, she's tough. Right now we don't have any other options. Here. Not so bright and shiny. I thought the cancer was in my gut. What are we looking at my heart for? Your EKG showed some abnormalities. We wanna make sure your heart's healthy enough to support you through surgery. You're a smart girl. Yes. George told me you were the best intern I could have on my case. He said that? He said you were the best intern in the hospital. Said you keep everyone on their toes, even him. Dr. Yang? You should take a look at this. OK. You paged me? What is Burke doing in there? I did a pre-op echo. His aortic valve is leaking. He won't make it through the surgery unless we replace it. It's just a valve replacement, George. It'll be fine. Burke will do it. Burke will do it and you will clear his schedule. If someone is going to operate on my dad's heart, I want Burke. - Yeah. - OK. It's going to be fine. Valve replacement. It's Burke. If someone's gonna cut your dad's heart apart, you want it to be him. What? - What's wrong with Burke's hand? - Nothing. - He's gonna operate on my father. - Burke is fine. - Your dad will be fine. - You're lying. He's hiding something. You're helping him. Leave me alone. - You wanted to see me, chief? - Um It's about your mother. Um I know your relationship with her is complicated. And I know you know that she and I were Chief, it's OK. What really matters is that you make her happy. And my father couldn't. And I couldn't, so Meredith, I I can't see your mother anymore. I need to make I need to try to make my marriage work. And if I'm going to do that, I have to stop seeing your mother. I see. She She's an extraordinary woman. She worked so hard, she sacrificed so much, and to see it end like this Take good care of her for me. - We got it from here. - Yo. OK, Frank. Time to take the tube out. - Izzie, put on some gloves. - What's going on? - What are you doing? - Ready to take out Frank's ***-tube? The rules? What if Sloan finds out? - Screw Sloan. - She knows what she's doing? I promise you, Frank, the twins are in excellent hands. Ah. Grand gesture. Frank gets it. - What's he talking about? - Nothing. - Are you sure about this? - Oh, yeah. He's sure. It looks like we can safely evacuate the clot. Want to go with the pumper. Did you ever think about having kids? Derek and I talked about it, but I wasn't ready. I love kids. I'd have a dozen. Believe me, one's enough. Unless you plan to put away your scalpel. That's why God invented nannies. I wish it were that easy. What do I do with these? Hock them? Keep them? My mom says post-divorce rings are bad juju. - Your mom says juju? - She does. So, what would your mom do? Burn them. Bury them. You want them? Oh, I want some rings. Just not bad juju rings. - My mom's kind of insane. - Don't talk smack about your mom. Miranda. Yesterday I left for work early and Tuck's favorite food was strained peas. Nasty green gunk, but he loved them. Ate them for breakfast. I got home after a 15-hour shift and he doesn't like strained peas anymore. He only wants carrots. Life moves so fast. Everybody moves on. Yep. - Where are you going? - I'm not ready to move on. Do you know why I picked you to be my dad's intern? Because you are a robot. You're a robot in a white coat who never makes a mistake. I appreciate that. Most of the time, I really feel like I have something to learn from you, but right now? Right now, I need you to try just for a minute, I need you to try to be a human being. Thank you, Alex. I can't believe you let me help. Alex is cool, you know that? Alex is the coolest. Oh, Alex knows it. - Izzie isn't so bad herself. - Oh, Izzie is rocking. Izzie is back in the game! I can't. Alex, I'm sorry. I can't. Hey, Mia. Can you say something for me? I need to hear how great you talk. Can you say my name? Can you say Meredith? Where's Anna? That was great. Guess who's here? Mom and Dad. Hey. How's my baby girl, huh? I want Anna. Anna. Diane, wait. Diane, where are you going? So we'll do the thing with the heart tomorrow? Maybe tomorrow. Maybe in a couple days. I don't know quite yet. But Dr. Webber and Dr. Burke said we should get to it quick. And we will get to it as quick as we can. I just want to make sure that we do it right. I don't understand why they're operating on his heart when the cancer is in his gut? - Yeah, it's complicated. When - You know what I was thinking? Maybe the tests are wrong. OK? Maybe it's not cancer. Cancer runs in the family, right? No one else in the family has cancer. It is cancer. OK? It's stage three metastatic esophageal cancer. - Meta-what-tic? - Metastatic. It's when the cancer cells have migrated from their point of origin You're talking doctor now. Just talk English. I am! You're just not listening! You're not saying anything we understand! Boys! Imagine your dad's like a vintage car, OK? - Callie. - And his blood's like gas flowing through the fuel lines. The cancer cells are gunk that builds up. - Fouls up the plugs? - Exactly. Once it's circulating, it can do a lot of damage to the engine, the carburetor, everything. It's like the engine had already blown a gasket. Even before all the other damage started. Good night, Mommy It's time to say good night Good night, Mia Good night, Mommy When it comes to our blind spots Good night, Daddy It's time to say good night maybe our brains aren't compensating. Maybe they're protecting us. I'm glad you came to visit. But you can't stay. I'm expecting someone. Actually, Mom, he's not coming. What? The chief. Richard. He's not coming tonight. It's In fact, it's just going to be me for a while. - He's gone back to Adele. - Yes. Of course he has. Mom. He's afraid. Afraid to be happy. And I'm all alone. Now I have to raise my daughter alone. How am I expected to do that? Mom. You did the best you could. You did the best you could. That's all anybody can do. How am I looking? Good. You're ready for surgery. That's good, I guess. I don't know how I'm gonna tell my wife about all this. Forty years we've been married. And now, cancer and a heart condition. She's always telling me how I should eat better, take better care of myself. Guess I should've listened. George is the best. What? He's the best intern. He's a good doctor and he's a good person. And whatever happens, I just thought you should know that you raised a good person. Thank you, Dr. Yang. I didn't know you still felt that way about me. Me neither. I can't. I'm sorry. Alex gets it. Alex is sorry he's such an idiot. - Can Izzie buy Alex a drink? - Alex would like that. Izzie can. I know what time it is. I don't care if he's sleeping, just wake him up. He can sleep later. Wake him up! OK. Now No, put the phone to his ear. Hey! Hey, Tuck. It's Mommy. Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose So the Bible says And it still is news Mama may have Papa may have But God bless the child That's got his own Oh, the strong get more While the weak ones fade George knows.
