TEXT: (Bailey and the interns are at the bar) MVO: The key to surviving a surgical internship is denial. We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed, and most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. (Izzie grabs her drink and walks over to table where George & Meredith are sitting with their own drinks and nibbles) George: I don't know. When I left, Cristina said she was ok. Izzie: Nobody goes what she went through and is totally over it by now. George: Cristina can. Meredith: She's fine. Izzie: Too fine. She's cold. George: No, she's hardcore.

He doesn't see her and sits down at the bar next to Bailey) MVO: We only see what we wanna see and believe what we want to believe. And it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while, the lies start to seem like the truth. Derek: Meredith kissed me. Addison kissed me. My wife and my girlfriend kissed me on the same day. Bailey: Joe, do I look friendly to you? Joe: Oh, you're a tiny little kitten of joy and love. (Dr. Bailey makes a face) What? He saved my life. Bailey: His first mistake. Mc Dreamy, go sit by someone who cares. Derek: Oh gee... (De
