Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCDerek Shepherd Quotes
All the years I've seen you, I've never seen you eat.
That is how a Chief does things. Take note.
Derek: Screwing drugs reps isn't gonna make you feel better.
Mark: Yeah, it is.
Meredith: You're gonna have to make this up to me with a lot of sex.
Derek: Yes, dear.
If you don't feel the losses... that's when you know you're not cut out for this kind of work.
We ask a lot of our patients. We put them to sleep. Cut them open. Poke around in their brain and guts with sharp instruments. We ask for their blind trust. Irony is, trust is hard for surgeons, because we're trained from day one that we can't trust anyone but ourselves. The only instincts you can count on are your own. The only skills you can count on are your own. Until one day, you leave the classroom and step into the O.R. You're surrounded by others, a team of others. A team that you have to rely on whether you trust them or not.
Hi. I know it's been a long day, and you're all anxious to get home. But I feel like we got off on the wrong foot this morning. I don't expect to win your trust overnight. But I want each of you to know you have mine. Which is why I felt it was important to personally come in here and apologize. I am neither pro nor anti merger. From this point on, everyone has a clean slate. I am not focused on the past. I'm looking to the future to all the promise this hospital has to offer. I plan to honor Richard Webber and his legacy, not undo it, which is why I'm both humbled and honored to be your new Chief of Surgery.
Derek: That's my chair.
Mark: I know I like it. Makes me feel powerful.
Trust is hard for surgeons. We're trained from day one to believe that the only person we can trust is ourselves.
Derek: Don't McDreamy me.
Meredith: McDreamy is being a McAss.
Mark: It's the guilt, you know? It's like every time I look at her... I just... The guilt is like a punch in the gut. Everyday.
Derek: Well, you shouldn't feel guilty, you didn't know.
Mark: I did know. I knew it when her mom got pregnant. She told me. I gave her a couple hundred bucks and I left town and I never saw her again. I figured she got an abortion. Hoped. But I did know.
Derek: Well you're a different guy now. You're not 18 anymore, you've grown up, and you're capable of better.
Teddy: How did Kelsey do?
Christina: Er, well.
Derek: Who's Kelsey?
Miranda: Er, girl with no heart. I had to do a laparoscopic bowel repair while the poor thing was awake on the table.
William: Mirada, mind your manners. Even if surgery is your whole life it doesn't mean you have to talk about bowels at the dinner table.
Miranda: My child is healthy.
William: Excuse me?
