Meredith: Every surgeon I know has a shadow. A dark cloud of fear and doubt that follows even the best of us into the O.R.

Alex: "Dude, he is fried." he shakes his head, looking at Derek who's sitting in the living room with the others beside him in the doorway

Meredith: "He's not fried. He lost a patient and got hit with a lawsuit all in one week. He just needs time."

Audrey: "He's been sittg there for three days. The sofa cushions are gonna start stitching themselves to him and he's eating all my cereal." she calls out in anger for the last part

Izzie: "He's taking stock. Something huge and life-altering happened to him, and he's taking stock, figuring out his next move. We shouldn't judge him. We shouldn't rush him."

Audrey: "Whatever. Sylvia Plath's picking out all the marshmallows. They're the best part."

Lexie: "And I'm pretty sure that he's sitting on my keys. I'd ask him to move, but he looks so...comfy."

Meredith: "Oh, you guys are cowards." she scoffs, shaking her head

Audrey: "Grab my cereal." she whispers as Meredith walks over to Derek

Meredith: "Hey. You're eating. That's good. Appetite is good. You know what else is good? Showering, cleansing, water. Are you thinking you'll shower, maybe go into the hospital?"

Derek: "I have to, for the deposition. I have to go and explain in detail how I killed a man's pregnant wife."

Meredith: "That's good. I mean, not the killing part, but the-I- I think you'll feel better once you...go to...work." she sighs as he gets up

Walking out the room he heads to the doorway where the others are standing, handing Audrey the cereal box as he heads upstairs

Meredith: "He'll be fine." she shrugs

>>

Meredith: We pretend the shadow isn't there.
Hoping that if we save more lives. Master harder techniques, run faster and farther. It'll get tired and give up the chase. But like they say...you can't outrun your shadow.

Callie: "It's still swollen. I'd give it another day of rest."

Mark: "I haven't operated in three days."

Audrey: "Next time you'll know not to hit people with your scalpel hand." she gives him a pointed look, making him sigh

Callie: "Have you talked to him yet?"

Mark: "He threw the first punch."

Callie: "Well, you did catch him at a bad time."

Mark: "So he lost a patient. Boo-Hoo. We're surgeons. We're men. We lose patients. It doesn't give him the right to go around behaving like a drunk frat boy. And now I'm supposed to go crawling back begging for his forgiveness?" he scoffs, making Callie chuckle a little before seeing Arizona walking down the hall and she grabs Audrey, using her as a shield

Audrey: "What, uh...what are you doing?"

Callie: "I went all "say anything" on the peds surgeon in front of the peds surgeon's date, so now I am hiding from the peds surgeon."

Mark: "Mature."

Callie: "Um, you got in a fistfight. No judging." she points, walking off as Lexie walks over to the pair

Lexie: "Hi."

Mark: "Hand!" he winces in pain when Lexie touches one of his fingers on his injured hand
