INT.HOSPITAL ? BABY ROOM
Meredith rocks gently back and forth in the chair with a chart in her hands, making notes and sighing. Finn enters.
������������������������ FINN
��������� Hey Mer.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Finn? What are you doing here?
Finn pulls a chair next to Meredith?s.
������������������������ FINN
��������� I wanted to come visit my favorite girl.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� I?m working, Finn.
������������������������ FINN
��������� I know. I was just in the neighborhood.
������������������������ MEREDITH
Thank you, Finn. (pause) Finn? We have to talk.
�������������� FINN
That doesn?t sound good.
�������������� MEREDITH
I think we should stop seeing each other.
�������������� FINN
But Meredith? I-
�������������� MEREDITH (interrupting)
No, Finn. Don?t say it. It?s better this way. Trust me.
�������������� FINN
ButMer?
�������������� MEREDITH
You need to leave. I?m working.
�������������� FINN
All right.
Finn leaves and Meredith sighs. She taps her clipboard and leans back in the chair and closes her eyes. Derek enters the room.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Sleeping on the job?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Never.
Meredith leans forward and opens her eyes.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� What are you doing down here?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Addison?s got me monitoring the baby.
Derek sits down in the chair that Finn vacated.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� That?s all?
������������������������ MEREDITH
She?s taking it out on me that you two are no longer together. So, I get the grunt work.
�������������� DEREK
And the party tonight?
�������������� MEREDITH
The bright spot on my day.
�������������� DEREK
I brought you something. Not that it makes up for anything.
Derek hands a single red rose to Meredith.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Derek, I-
������������������������ DEREK
I know. You and Finn.And I have a lot to make up for. But I?m trying. What do you say we blow off the party? Get dinner?
�������������� MEREDITH
I can?t blow off my own party.
�������������� DEREK
Do you remember what happened at the last party?
Derek sends Meredith a lopsided grin.
�������������� MEREDITH (smiles)
That was a good party.
�������������� DEREK
That was a good end to a party.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Except the whole Bailey finding out thing.
Derek laughed.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Except for that.
INT.HOSPITAL ? ROOM OFF TO THE SIDE OF TRIAL
The heads are all sitting around the table. Derek, Addison, Richard, Bailey, Preston, Juliana and a few others are there.
������������������������ DEREK
Dr. Stevens is a good doctor. She should be allowed to practice medicine.
�������������� ADDISON
I whole-heartedly disagree.
�������������� DEREK
That doesn?t surprise me.
Derek leans back in his chair with an exasperated look on his face.
�������������� ADDISON
She needs to understand the magnitude of the crime that she has committed.
Addison leans forward.
�������������� RICHARD
So you?re vote?
�������������� ADDISON
She?s kicked out of the program and stripped of her title.
Addison leans back in her chair, with a look on her face that says ?I hate to do this but??
�������������� DEREK
Don?t you think that?s a little harsh?
�������������� ADDISON
No, I don?t. Her actions were serious. She admitted to cutting the LVAD wire.
���� ��������� PRESTON
She understands better than anyone that what she did was wrong. She lost Denny. It would be different if he was still alive, but he isn?t. Don?t you think she?s suffered enough already?
�������������� BAILEY
I agree with Preston. If we keep a close eye on her, things will be better.
�������������� JULIANA
There needs to be repercussions?
�������������� PRESTON
Dr. Keyes, you are an interim head. You don?t know the whole facts, and you certainly have never worked with Dr. Stevens.
�������������� JULIANA
Maybe that?s a good thing. I?m giving an unbiased opinion. That?s more than I can say for most of the people here. Severe actions need to be brought against Dr. Stevens. Stripping her of her title might be a little harsh, but at the very least she should be kicked out of the program.
�������������� RICHARD
There will be repercussions.
�������������� JULIANA
I agree with Dr. Montgomery. This girl needs more than a slap on the wrist.
�������������� ADDISON
Thank you.
�������������� JULIANA
Your welcome.
�������������� RICHARD
The end decision is up to me. Dr. Stevens will be?
Zoom in to a camera and show the time, 1:00PM.
INT.HOSPITAL ? X ? RAYROOM -
The clock hands move to 2:00PM, then zoom out. George looks at the patient?s x-rays and ultrasounds. Dr. Sheppard walks into the room.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� So, What do we have here, Dr. O?malley?
���� ������������������� GEORGE
This guy is about to have a stroke at any moment. Look.
George points to different things on the x-ray board.
������������������������ DEREK
Good Work, Dr. O?malley. You ready to scrub in?
�������������� GEORGE
Heck yeah. Kick ass surgery.
INT.HOSPITAL ? PATIENT?S ROOM
Christina walks into the room with the test results. James is on the bed with Nancy again, and they stare into each other?s eyes, not saying a word. James gently runs a hand down Nancy?s face.
������������������������ CHRISTINA
��������� Ah hem. Sorry to interrupt.
������������������������ JAMES
That?s okay, I was just admiring the absolute beauty of this fine creature that has agreed to marry me.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Oh, brother. Anyway, the test results have come in.
�������������� NANCY
Ok?
�������������� CHRISTINA
We found something that is putting pressure on your brain. We need to remove it as soon as possible. Our head of neurosurgery has another, more pressing surgery to perform, so Dr. Keyes will be performing the surgery.
�������������� JAMES
When will this happen?
�������������� CHRISTINA
2:30.
�������������� JAMES
Good, that gives me more time to contemplate this fine beauty.
Christina rolls her eyes and leaves the room. She sticks her finger down her throat.
������������������������ CHRISTINA
��������� Gag me.
INT.HOSPITAL ? OR
Christina assists Dr. Keyes in the surgery.
������������������������ JULIANA
��������� You?re boyfriend is headstrong.
������������������������ CHRISTINA
��������� You?re outspoken.
������������������������ JULIANA
��������� Very true.
������������������������ CHRISTINA
These two were all over each other in her hospital room.
�������������� JULIANA
Young love.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Gag me. I don?t do love sick puppy.
�������������� JULIANA
Everyone has their thing, Dr. Yang.
�������������� CHRISTINA
You didn?t hear what I hear. ?contemplating her fine beauty?. Who talks like that?
�������������� JULIANA
Someone who is desperately and whole-heartedly in love.
�������������� CHRISTINA
Desperate being the key word. The only thing I?m desperate for is surgery.
�������������� JULIANA
Everyone has their weaknesses. I have more of a coffee weakness.
