TEXT: (Meredith is at a bar, doing shots) MVO: To be a good surgeon, you have to think like a surgeon. Emotions are messy. Tuck them neatly away and step into a clean, sterile room where the procedure is simple. Cut, suture and close. Joe: You look familiar. You been here before? Meredith: Once. That worked out really well. Joe: I know that look. It'll be one of two things. Either your boss is giving you hell or your boyfriend is. Which is it? Meredith: Both. MVO: But sometimes, you're faced with a cut that won't heal. Meredith: My boyfriend is my boss, which was a problem. But not as big a problem as the fact that my boyfriend has a wife. Joe: Tell you what, this one, it's on the house. MVO: A cut that rips it's stitches wide open. (Derek and Addison in the lobby of the hospital) Derek: Addison, what are you doing here? Addison: Your hair's different. Derek: A lot of things are different. Addison: It's longer. I like it. It's very Russell Crowe. (She tries to run her fingers through his hair but he moves back) Derek: What are you doing here? Addison: What are you doing here? You just pick up and leave everything? Your house, your practice, your friends? You had a life in Manhattan. Derek: Had. Addison: And now you have a girlfriend in Seattle. She seems sweet. Derek: The ice you're on. Thin. Addison: She's young. That whole wide-eyed, ooh he's-a-brain-surgeon thing happening, but still sweet. Which was what you were going for, right? The anti-Addison? Derek: If you came out here to try and win me back, forget about it. Addison: I did. I flew all the way across the country to reminisce over wedding photos, get drunk, fall into bed, and make you realize you can't live without me. Relax. Derek
