Evanescent

A Change is Gonna Come

George enters the locker room with the new interns.
----
Cristina's interns walk up to her.

Cristina," I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up, I already hate you. That's not gonna change. "
----
Izzie is with her interns at a nurse's station, " Trauma protocols, phone lists, pagers. The nurses will page you. You answer every page at a run...a run. That's rule number two.( They all just stand there) You're supposed to follow me."
----
Alex is walking through the hall with his interns," Your first shift starts now and lasts 36 hours. You're grunts, nobodies, the bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, you write orders, you work every second night until you drop, and you don't complain."
----
Meredith is showing her interns the," 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 speaks up,"Um, rule number three. If you're sleeping, do not wake you unless a patient's actually dying."
----
I am showing the on call rooms," 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...

I look at her," Yes?"

Lexie looks nervous," That was four rules. You said five."

I look at them,"Rule number five...when I move, you move. (They all stand there) Go!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Myself, Alex, Izzie, Cristina and Meredith are in the deserted hallway hangout.
Cristina frowns,"I hate them."

Meredith smiles," You don't hate them. You hate you."

Izzie puts her head in her hands," That was hideous. I feel like a fraud."

Alex smirks," I rocked it. I think I'm the new nazi."

Cristina," Oh, you are not the new nazi."

(George enters)

George," Meredith, I need to talk to you."

Izzie looks nervous," George. Hi. "

George," Hey."

Izzie keeps talking," How was your vacation?"

George," Um, fine. Um, Meredith, can we... "

Izzie nods,"Cause mine was... I didn't do much. I hung out alone...for 17 days. Which is the last time that I saw you, the day of Cristina's wedding, which was...well...then Mer and Cristina went on Cristina's honeymoon without me."

Alex," Girl-on-girl honeymoon."

Izzie continues,"And then Isabelle and Alex were off hanging out with whoever the other people are.And moving Rory into her apartment in New York"

I smile," They have names."

Cristina smiles," Oh, why is everyone so tingly and hurt? I mean, I'm the one who was left at the altar. I'm fine, by the way. I honeymooned in Hawaii and I snorkeled."

Izzie: What'd you do, George?

George: Um, Meredith...I...I really need to talk to you.

Meredith goes to talk when the other Interns enter the hallway.

Cristina shouts to them," Uh, hey, you want to know...hey, um, this is for residents only. No interns."

Meredith jumps in," Yeah."

Izzie laughs," Yeah, get outta here."

Alex joins," Babies. 007's in training."

Cristina finishes with,"Seriously." as all the interns run off.
