INT.HOSPITAL ? OR 1
Juliana and Meredith work on the heart with nurses surrounding the two, keeping an eye on the vitals.
������������������������ JULIANA
This guy is lucky. If it would have taken any longer to get here he might have been dead.
�������������� MEREDITH
Very true, Dr. Keyes.
�������������� JULIANA
So, Dr. Grey. Is Dr. Ellis Grey your mother?
�������������� MEREDITH
Yes.
�������������� JULIANA
What?s it like being so royally inbred?
�������������� MEREDITH
��������� My mother isn?t royalty.
Meredith gives Juliana a pointed look that says she doesn?t want to talk about her mother to a stranger.
INT.HOSPITAL ? CHIEF?S OFFICE.
Dr. Webber sits at his desk doing paperwork when George knocks on the door. Richard looks up at him.
������������������������ GEORGE
Dr. Webber, I have this patient that is having an allergic reaction to shellfish.
�������������� RICHARD
And what is your question?
�������������� GEORGE
Well, sir. He won?t stop eating it. He?s been in here twice already today and he was just brought in a third time. I don?t know what to do.
�������������� RICHARD
Go find Dr. Bailey and take it up with her. I?m busy right now O?malley. Someone stole some black panties from my office.
�������������� GEORGE
Yes, sir.
George leaves the office and the chief takes off his glasses, rubbing his nose. Meredith walks in to the open office.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Chief.
������������������������ RICHARD
��������� Hello Meredith. What can I do for you?
Meredith sits down in the chair across from him.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Can I ask you something?
������������������������ RICHARD
��������� We?ll see.
������������������������ MEREDITH
You never answered my question. About if you regretted staying with your wife. You knew that my mom left my dad. Did you ever regret staying with your wife?
�������������� RICHARD
Meredith-
Richard takes his glasses off and rubs his nose.
�������������� MEREDITH
No, Dr. Webber, I would really like to know. For me.
�������������� RICHARD
Because of everything with Dr. Sheppard?
Meredith sits down in the chair across from Richard and leans forward, listening intently.
�������������� MEREDITH
Yes.
�������������� RICHARD.
Yes. She was the love of my life, but I had commitments and responsibilities? I didn?t know at the time that she was the love of my life? It wasn?t until after? After we broke our affair off that I realized how much I loved her.
�������������� MEREDITH
Did? Did she really ask my dad not to come visit?
�������������� RICHARD
She thought it would be better for both of you if he didn?t.
�������������� MEREDITH
Thank you sir. I only ask you, because, well. My mom isn?t really around anymore.
�������������� RICHARD
I understand. If you need anything?
�������������� MEREDITH
I?m fine sir. Just fine.
Meredith gets up and leaves the office, then runs and slides into the elevator, barely making it. Derek is inside, leaning against the back of the elevator, giving her a sexy little half smile.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Meredith.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Derek. Stop smiling.
���������
������������������������ DEREK
��������� I can?t help it.
Meredith pushes Derek against flat against the back elevator, her eyes flashing with anger.
������������������������ MEREDITH
I found something in my locker.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� A picture of something that you?re missing?
Derek pushes Meredith so that she is pushed against the back of the elevator.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Quite possibly.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Good.
������������������������ MEREDITH
I hate you. On so many levels right now.At this very moment.
Meredith pulls her fists up to Derek?s chest and tries to push him away, he?s too strong she starts beating her fists against his chest.
�������������� DEREK
Don?t be like that. I still like your small ineffectual fists.
Derek gives Meredith hurt little puppy dog eyes.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� When am I going to get them back?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Soon.Sooner than you might think.
Derek pulls away from Meredith and looks back up at the numbers of the elevator.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Why is that?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Addison knows about prom.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� You?re sure that she knows?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Very sure.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� This elevator takes forever.
The elevator dings and the doors open. Meredith and Derek walk in opposite directions.
INT. BURKTINA?S APARTMENT
Christina wheels Preston into the apartment and up to the dining room table. Christina looks irritated and Preston looks mad.
������������������������ CHRISTINA
I don?t know what you want from me. I?m taking the day off, which granted, the last time I requested a day off was when I was going to get an abortion.
�������������� PRESTON
A little support would be nice.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Burke. Honey. God that sounds weird. Burke, I am being supportive. I?m here. I?m right here.
�������������� PRESTON
But you want to be there.
�������������� CHRISTINA
I?m a surgeon. I?m always going to want to be there. You know that.
�������������� PRESTON
Then go.
�������������� CHRISTINA
I?m staying here. I?m going to sit on that couch and watch some TV. When you?re ready to talk to me, to be around me? Just let me know.
Christina flops down on the couch and puts her feet on the coffee table. She sticks her tongue out at Burke who?s back is facing her.
INT.HOSPITAL ? PATIENT?S ROOM
Mark makes notes on a chart while talking to the patient. Meredith walks in.
������������������������ MARK
Everything looks ready to go for the surgery Melinda.
�������������� MEREDITH
Dr. Sloan. I didn?t know that you were the one that paged for an intern.
�������������� MARK
I figured that you have yet to get the chance to scrub in on plastic surgery.
�������������� MEREDITH
This is more Alex?s interest than mine, but I?m definitely slightly interested.
�������������� MARK
Good. Meredith, this is Melinda Cooper. She?s forty years old and we?re reconstructing her nose.
Mark looks up from the chart.
�������������� MELINDA
My husband has always had a thing for Julia Roberts.
�������������� MARK
The last time I was here, we did her lips.
�������������� MEREDITH
Shouldn?t your husband love you the way you are?
Mark glances at Meredith.
���� ������������������� MARK
��������� Dr. Grey?
�������������� MELINDA
It?s okay. He does. I know he does. I?m just unhappy with my own appearance.
�������������� MARK
Dr. Grey, I want you to take Melinda down to OR 2.
�������������� MEREDITH
Right away, Dr. Sloan.
Meredith maneuvers the bed out of the room and into the hallway.
������������������������ MELINDA
��������� I know you must think I?m crazy.
Melinda sits up in the bed and turns to face Meredith.
������������������������ MEREDITH
There?s nothing wrong with changing your appearance. But surgery is so? permanent.
�������������� MELINDA
I don?t expect a young little thing like you to understand? But my husband is a lawyer. He works with the youngest and brightest women I?ve ever seen. I?m just trying to keep his eye from wandering.
�������������� MEREDITH
You really don?t have to explain it to me. It?s your body.
�������������� MELINDA
I can see you judging me with your eyes. I can tell. When I was your age, I would have had the same look in my eyes. You don?t know until your boobs start to sag. Lines begin to appear by your eyes?
Melinda turns away from Meredith and leans back on the bed.
������������������������ MELINDA
And you see the young perky little secretary that your husband hired because she had the best credentials of anyone that applied for the job.
�������������� MEREDITH
It?s all right, really.
Meredith pushes the bed into the elevator and pushes a button. The elevator doors close.
INT.HOSPITAL ? X-RAY ROOM
Callie and Alex are looking at several x-rays.
������������������������ CALLIE
This is unbelievable. The rod went straight through this guy?s bone. What does this mean Dr. Karev?
�������������� ALEX
It means we?re going to have to reconstruct the leg.
�������������� CALLIE
But in this particular case?
�������������� ALEX
Save as much of the leg as possible and amputate the rest.
�������������� CALLIE
Good. Go prep an OR.
INT.HOSPITAL ? OR
Bailey performs a surgery. George pushes a button on the intercom.
������������������������ GEORGE
��������� Dr. Bailey.
������������������������ BAILEY
O?Malley, I am performing a surgery right now.
�������������� GEORGE
I know Dr. Bailey, but?
�������������� BAILEY
There are no buts O?Malley.
�������������� GEORGE
It?s the shellfish guy.
�������������� BAILEY
What about him?
�������������� GEORGE
He?s back.
�������������� BAILEY
(to herself) All I want to do is perform surgeries, but instead I have to deal with my interns. (to George) Page Dr. Keyes, O?Malley.
�������������� GEORGE
Okay.
George leaves the gallery and walks into the hallway.
������������������������ GEORGE
(to himself) I am a surgeon who is dealing with a man who keeps eating shellfish, even though he?s allergic to it. Why do I get the crappy cases with no surgery?
George walks to the nurses? station and talks to one of the nurses.
INT. RIPLEY?S OFFICE
Ripley is sitting at her desk going over paper work when Richard stops in.
������������������������ RICHARD
��������� Hello, Dr. Buffet.
������������������������ RIPLEY
Hello, Dr. Webber. Can I help you with something?
�������������� RICHARD
I just wanted to make sure that everyone is coming in as they are supposed to.
�������������� RIPLEY
As far as I know, yes.
Ripley looks back down and continues doing paperwork, assuming this is the end of the conversation. She doesn?t hear Richard move, so she looks up.
������������������������ RIPLEY
��������� Is there something else?
������������������������ RICHARD
Yes. I know that you and Meredith are friends.
�������������� RIPLEY
Yes, we?ve known each other for a long time. Meredith has her own psychologist that she?s been going to, though. For her, I?m a sounding board.
�������������� RICHARD
I realize that. But so many people have some sort of relationship with her?
�������������� RIPLEY
You must be referring to the Sheppards. As a friend, I dislike when someone treats my friends with anything less than the utmost respect. Now with that being said, I think I can help both of the Sheppards get through whatever problems they?re having right now.
�������������� RICHARD
So everything that has happened with Meredith?
�������������� RIPLEY
Has nothing to do with how I?m treating either Sheppard. When I treat my patients, I think of only their best interests. No other feelings get in the way.
�������������� RICHARD
Good, Dr. Buffet. Good.
�������������� RIPLEY
Now, I?m sorry, but I really have to get back to work.
�������������� RICHARD
Sorry for the interruption.
