"A Change is Gonna Come"
Meredith: [voiceover] In the practice of medicine, change is inevitable. New surgical techniques are created, procedures are updated, levels of expertise increase. Innovation is everything. Nothing remains the same for long. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind.
[The new residents meet their new interns.]
Cristina: [to interns] I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna change.
Izzie: Traumas protocol, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run. That's rule number two. [notices the interns are not following her] You're supposed to follow me.
Alex: The first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, write orders, you work every second night until you drop. And you don't complain.
Meredith: On call rooms. Sleep when you can, where you can. You know, but not with anybody. Not attendings, especially not attendings. Sleeping with attendings, not a good idea. Where was I?
George: Hm... rule number three. If you're sleeping, do not wake you unless the patient is actually dying.
Cristina: The dying patient better not be dead when I get there, because not only will you have killed someone, you will have woken me for no good reason. Are we clear? [Lexie raises her hand] Yes?
Lexie: That was four rules. You said five.
Cristina: Rule number five. When I move, you move. [awkward pause as her pager doesn't beep] Go! [Cristina's interns scramble off]
Cristina: Ok, Hum... 1, 2, go get snack packs. 3 and 4 go meet the ambulances.
Meredith: [laughing] 1 and 2?
Cristina: Oh, I know. I can't remember their names.
George: [raises a hand] I don't respond to being called a number.
Meredith: George, go wait for the ambulance. The rest of you come with me.
Alex: Alright, you guys, standing agaist the wall and out of the way, unless I call for you.
Izzie: If you guys have any question at all, just ask. Ok?
Leo: I heard she, like, freaked out, killed a guy and had to go on probation.
Lexie: So, hey, you're an intern. Again.
George: Yeah.
Lexie: I won't tell anybody--
George: That's- That's ok, I'm alright.
Lexie: Do you know wich one is Meredith Grey?
George: Yeah... I haven't told her you're here yet. I was going to--
Lexie: So you know who I am.
George: Yeah, I know who you are.
Bailey: Grey, don't let them just stand here.
Meredith: Let's move, people.
Derek: Meredith, how-- [Lexie jumps into the conversation]
Lexie: Hey, I'm so sorry about before. I was so nervous about meeting you. Don't block the E.R. doors, I know that now.
Derek: [to Lexie] You're the girl from the bar.
Lexie: Sorry?
Derek: The girl from the bar.
Lexie: Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God! Yeah! [Derek laughs] Oh my God, you work here.
Derek: Yeah, I do.
Meredith: Girl from the bar? I'm the girl from the bar.
[Meredith leaves angrily]
Lexie: She hates me. My sister hates me.
Derek: Meredith's your sister?
Lexie: My half-sister.
Alex: Callie's a bitch!
Izzie: Word!
Izzie: You're right. I'm not helping him, I'm helping Bambi.
Derek: How is Meredith, by the way? Is she Ok?
Cristina: She's fine.
Derek: She's always fine. That's your problem.
Cristina: We're fine people. We do fine. We're fine.
Izzie: [to George] I tell you that I love you, and not one word? For 17 days? Where have you been?
Izzie: I'm bambi. I'm bambi, George. If anyone in this situation is a sad little cartoon character, it's me. I'm all alone in the forest, all alone in the forest, George. And my mother's been shot by a hunter and where are you? Where the hell are you?
Mark: Seems like you could use a friend by now.
Derek: Meredith's mother never wanted her. And her father wasn't man enough to hang around. She has the right to be damaged. And us, together, it's a big step for her. Then her best friend gets left on the altar and all she sees now is things like this, they don't work. She panics. She wants this, she doesn't know how to have it. And you know what? That's not her fault. So don't ever talk to me about Meredith Grey again. You do NOT know what you are talking about. And don't want a friend.
Meredith: I...uhm....
Derek: You're not ready for this.
Meredith: No.
Derek: I asked for too much.
Meredith: I think so.
Derek: So, this is it?
Meredith: Yeah.
Derek: We're breaking up?
Meredith: We're breaking up.
Derek: [Walks to Meredith] We're broken up.
Meredith: It's done.
[They start kissing]
Derek: Break-up kiss.
Meredith: Break-up kiss.
Derek: [Removes his jacket] Lets have break-up sex.
Meredith: Yeah, lets have break-up sex.
George: I love you too.
Meredith: [voiceover] Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything.
