And most of the time, we give them our undivided attention. (Alex, Lexie and a bunch of interns are in the elevator) Male Intern: I heard he saved a guy who coded yesterday, by himself. Female Intern: He just knows things...never messes up in rounds, always has the answer. Female Intern 2: And he's so calm. I'm always terrified, but he's, like, steady. Male Intern 2: Best intern ever. Alex: Hey, who are they talking about? Lexie: George O'Malley. Alex: Seriously? Don't they know that he... (Lexie shhs him) (Alex exits the elevator where is) MVO: But by far the hardest thing you can give a patient is the truth. Alex: You know O'Malley's got these morons snowed? They don't even know he's a repeater. Izzie: Yeah, whatever. (Derek, Meredith and Cristina are in the same elevator) Meredith: Hey. Derek: Hey. Meredith: How are you today? Derek: Good. Meredith: Great. MVO: The truth is hard. The truth... is awkward. And very often...the truth hurts. (They all exit the elevator where Izzie is standing. Derek and Meredith walk away) Izzie: Damn it. Meredith: Bye. Derek: Bye. Cristina: She's doing McDreamy. She's doing McDreamy and lying about it. Izzie: That's great. Cristina: She thinks I'm weak, that I'm fragile. Like I can't handle it 'cause of Burke. Izzie: Poor Cristina. All alone. Cristina: Damn right. Poor Cristina. (George finally exits the elevator) Izzie: George, what happened? MVO: I mean, people say they want the truth. But do they really? (
