Dizzy ? The Archies
INT. MEREDITH?S HOUSE ? BATHROOM
Meredith and Derek face the mirror and brush their respective teeth. Meredith glances at Derek out of the corner of her eye.
������������������������ MEREDITH (V.O.)
Sometimes? We do things? We?re not really sure why we do them. There?s no cognitive thinking involved. It could almost be called foot-in-mouth syndrome.
Derek spits toothpaste into the sink.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� What time are you done today?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Around 6. As long as nothing comes up.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Right.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Did you want to stay over? Again?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Again?
������������������������ MEREDITH
It?skinda nice sleeping with you. You keep the bed warm. And you?re kinda cute when you take up the whole bed.
�������������� DEREK
So you?re only using me for my body heat. (pause) Cute, huh?
�������������� MEREDITH (laughs)
Yeah.
Meredith spits out the toothpaste, letting a full laugh out.
INT.HOSPITAL ? LOCKER ROOM
Meredith sits on one of the benches, tying her shoes. George rifles through his locker and Christina walks over from the changing area.
������������������������ MEREDITH
So, you?ve been spending a lot of time at the house.
�������������� GEORGE
I?m paying bills there, aren?t I?
�������������� MEREDITH
But you had been spending a lot of time at Ripley?s.
�������������� GEORGE
Yeah? She?s been busy.
�������������� MEREDITH
It?s not you George. Seriously.It?s the time of year. December?Totally busy month for musicians.
Christina pulls her stethoscope out of her locker, then tosses her clothes in.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Awww.Bambi not getting any?
�������������� GEORGE
Ripley?s had a gig every night since December hit. Holiday parties and whatever.She?s even booked Christmas Eve.
�������������� MEREDITH
She hasn?t been home for Christmas for years.
�������������� GEORGE
She even has one for New Year?s Eve.
�������������� IZZY
At least she?s got a valid reason.
�������������� MEREDITH
Seriously.
�������������� CHRISTINA
So, is McSister still here?
�������������� MEREDITH
No, she went home yesterday. I felt so dirty while she was here. Like she was judging me.
�������������� IZZY
What are you going to do at Christmas?
�������������� MEREDITH
Same thing I do every year. Visit with mom, then come home to a bottle of Tequila.
�������������� CHRISTINA
You don?t think McDreamy will want you to come home with him to meet the rest of the McFamily?
Meredith looks up, alarmed, like she had never thought about that. Bailey sticks her head into the locker room.
������������������������ BAILEY
What are you fools doing? Stevens, step on it, Johnson is waiting for you.
�������������� IZZY
Later.
Izzy hurries out of the locker room.
������������������������ BAILEY
O?Malley, you?re with Dr. Sheppard today. Grey, you?re with Dr. Keyes and Yang, you?re with Dr. Montgomery.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Meredith doesn?t have to go with Dr. Montgomery?
�������������� BAILEY
It?s December. She?s feeling charitable. For now.Plus she knows that Grey and Stevens are friends. She doesn?t want them bonding.
INT.HOSPITAL ? HALLWAY
Izzy pulls her stethoscope around her neck and hurries down the hallway where Dr. Johnson and the pediatric interns are waiting.
������������������������ JOHNSON
��������� Cuttin? it close Stevens.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Sorry. Bad traffic.
������������������������ JOHNSON
We have a VIP patient. Stevens will be taking care of her every need. You will have no other patients, Stevens. You can thank me later.
�������������� LACY
Bullshit.
�������������� JOHNSON
And Lacy here will be doing post ops on all pediatric patients for the day.
�������������� IZZY
What room Dr. Johnson?
�������������� JOHNSON
Room 2334.
�������������� IZZY
I?m on it.
Izzy jogs down the hallway to the room.
������������������������ JOHNSON
��������� Now that?s how you guys need to move.
INT.HOSPITAL ? HALLWAY
Izzy stands outside the door to a room that?s locked with a security guard standing outside.
��������� �������������� SECURITY GUARD #1
��������� Who are you?
������������������������ IZZY
I?m Dr. Stevens. I?m the intern that?s assigned to this patient.
�������������� SECURITY GUARD #1
We weren?t informed of an intern.
�������������� IZZY
She?s my only patient.
The security guard turns away from Izzy and says something into a walkie talkie on his shoulder. The security guard then turns back around to Izzy.
������������������������ SECURITY GUARD #1
��������� You can go in, now.
The security guard opens the door for Izzy and lets her walk past. He closes the door behind her. A young blonde girl, Katie, lays in the bed in satin pajamas. Her dad, Tom, sits in a chair next to the bed.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Hi, I?mIzzy. I?ll be your doctor.
������������������������ KATIE
��������� I?m Katie. Are you sure you?re my doctor?
������������������������ TOM
Now, Katie. I?m sure this lovely lady wouldn?t lie about that.
�������������� KATIE
Whatever. So when can I get this thing done and get out of here? I have a movie taping starting tomorrow.
Izzy picks up Katie?s chart and glances through, looking to see what Katie has.
�������������� IZZY
Oh yeah, you?re that hot new actress. My little niece loves you?re movies.
�������������� KATIE
Whatever. How long?
�������������� IZZY
We have you scheduled for tonight. You won?t be at the taping tomorrow. It?ll be a few days before you can get back to work. Plus we need to keep you here for observations.
�������������� KATIE
Don?t you understand? I have important work to do.
�������������� TOM
I?m sure Dr?
�������������� IZZY
Stevens.
�������������� TOM
Stevens understands that.
�������������� KATIE
Then why do I have to stay for observations?
�������������� IZZY
That?s protocol. We need to make sure that your body doesn?t reject the heart.
�������������� KATIE
Da-ad.
�������������� TOM
Are you sure there?s nothing we can do to shorten the visit?
�������������� IZZY
Sorry. Dr. Keyes should be here soon to meet you.
�������������� KATIE
I thought you were my doctor.
�������������� IZZY
I am, but I?m not the main doctor. That?s Dr. Keyes. So if you need anything, just let me know. I?m all yours for today.
�������������� KATIE
Do you have any games in this place?
�������������� IZZY
I?m sure we can scrounge up some Candyland or something.
�������������� KATIE
Get real. Any video games.
�������������� IZZY
Sorry, we only have board games.
�������������� KATIE
Whateve.
�������������� IZZY
Great.So I?ll see what I can dig up.
Izzy turns and leaves the room, grumbling once she gets a distance from the door. Tom comes running after Izzy. He grabs her arm and she spins around.
������������������������ TOM
Hey, she?s not always like this. Really.She?s just scared.
�������������� IZZY
It?s fine. Don?t worry about it.
�������������� TOM
Really.She?s usually a lot nicer.
�������������� IZZY
You don?t have to apologize for her. It?s okay. I?ll be back with a board game.
�������������� TOM
Okay.
Tom turns and walks back inside.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Right.
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM
George and Derek stand around Colin, a male patient, who is lying in the bed.
������������������������ GEORGE
This is Colin, age 23. He started having seizures about a year ago. We?re going to find out what?s causing the seizures, then hopefully, stop them.
�������������� DEREK
And how are we going to do this, Dr. O?Malley?
�������������� GEORGE
We?re going to hook him up to a brain mapping machine and wait for him to have another seizure. When he does, we?ll track it to see what part of the brain is being affected.
�������������� COLIN
Is that why I have this excellent hat on?
�������������� GEORGE
Yes.
�������������� DEREK
Good job, Dr. O?malley. Page me when he has a seizure.
�������������� GEORGE
Will do, Dr. Sheppard.
EXT. HOSPITAL ? LUNCH TABLE ? MIDDAY
Izzy, Meredith, Christina, and George all sit at a table.
������������������������ IZZY
So, I?ve got this VIP patient. This girl is nuts. Totally loony.
�������������� MEREDITH
Who?s she here to see?
�������������� IZZY
Dr. Keyes. I had to look all over the hospital for the game of Life. After I had brought a game of Candyland already. Seriously, who doesn?t like Candyland? Seriously.
�������������� MEREDITH
Hey, I?m with Dr. Keyes today.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Bailey thought you were with Montgomery today.
�������������� IZZY
Johnson put me on the VIP case.
Izzy leans forward and whispers.
������������������������ IZZY
Not to be harsh, but the other peds are kind of clueless. Seriously.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Seriously?Oooh. Do tell.
�������������� IZZY
Lacy couldn?t doctor her way out of a paper bag. She totally has it in for me because I actually know answers to questions. The other two aren?t too bad. I think I?m making them step up their game. Lacy?s just waiting for me to slip up.
�������������� GEORGE
Seriously. Drama rama.
�������������� IZZY
Seriously.
Izzy?s pager goes off. She picks it up and looks at it.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Great. Duty calls.
Izzy gets up and throws her garbage away, then runs off to find out what Katie wants.
������������������������ GEORGE
I?m waiting for my patient to seizure. Since this morning. This Sucks.
�������������� MEREDITH
Maybe you?ll have to try to get him to seizure.
�������������� GEORGE
I had a patient like that a few months ago.� It won?t be as much fun without Izzy.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Awww.Poor Bambi.Has to practice doctoring by himself. At least you?re not on the vagina squad today. �
�������������� GEORGE
You?re mean.
George gets up and walks away.
