Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCFavorite Derek Shepherd Quotes
Derek: Now we just wait for the brain activity in that area to stop.
Izzie: Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, hou....
Meredith: (Der nods to Mer) Ok Izz. Can you tell me what you saw?
Izzie: eh...
Derek: (Mer looks at him scared) Show her the cards.
Meredith: What's this? (Izzie looks at the card) Dog. Can you say dog?
Izzie: (Tries to speak) Nnn... ah.. nnnyahhh...
Meredith: Well, what's my name?
Derek: Just stick to the cards Meredith. (Mer looks at Derek getting more scared)
Izzie: Mmm.
Meredith: Meredith. You know my name, you can say my name.
Izzie: Mmm... Mmmme...
Swinder: This is what I was afraid of.
Meredith: Ok, whose Alex? Izz, ok. You don't have to speak. Just, nod your head for me if you know who Alex Karev is. (Mer looks at Der and is starting to tear up. Izzie looks around really scared.)
Meredith: Ok Iz, I am going to show you a series...
Izzie: A series of images that you want me to try to remember once Derek put the right side of my brain to sleep.
Derek: Mhmmm.
Izzie: Hit me. Show me what you got.
Meredith: Ok.
Izzie: Is that a schnauzer or a scotty? How specific do I need to be?
Derek: Dogs fine.
Izzie: It's either a 727 or a 747.
Derek: Plane.
Izzie: Oh, a 2 story victorian mansion.
Derek: We would also accept the word house.
Izzie: Schnauzer, 747, mansion, Schnauzer, 747, mansion...
Derek: Or... dog, plane, house. I'm gonna put the right hemisphere of your brain to sleep now, ok?
Izzie: Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house. Dog, plane, house.
Sloan: You're thinking like a nerve guy.
Derek: I am a nerve guy.
Meredith: It's impressive, but it took 2 years to get these results.
Cristina: Yeah but, these 2 scans were taken 3 months apart.
Meredith: But, Izzie may not have 3 months. That tumor could start bleeding in 3 days, or 3 seconds. And, since when are you not about cutting?
Cristina: Since it may not be in the best interest of our patient.
Meredith: And Derek's not acting in Izzie's best interest? (Der opens the door)
Derek: They're reinforcing radiology. (Der gives Mer a look)
Swinder: You wanna remove her hippocampus?
Derek: One of them. It's a common procedure for seizure patients
Swinder: Moving her hippocampus could compromise her memory, her speech, she wouldn't be able to practice medicine anymore.
Derek: I have performed this surgery hundreds of times.
Swinder: On cancer patients?
Derek: No. But it's...
Izzie: If you do the surgery I could lose my memory?
Derek: It's unlikely but it's possible.
Izzie: And, if you don't do the surgery...
Swinder: We could shrink the tumor with IL2.
Izzie: If the tumor doesn't kill me first.
Derek: Why take the chance?
Swinder: Have you even done a WADA test to see how her memory would be affected?
Derek: Putting her brain to sleep and asking her to remember a bunch of flash cards is not an accurate assessment of the post surgical outcome.
Swinder: But, it would tell us whether or not she could function afterwards. And, as Dr. Stevens primary physician...
Derek: Fine I'll do it. It's unnecessary but...
Swinder: The surgery is unnecessary.
Derek: The tumor is already symptomatic, she's having hallucinations.
Derek: Ahem.
Mark: How much of that did you hear?
Derek: You mean the part where you asked her to move in with you, or the part where she shot you down?
Mark: Hmmm.
Derek: I was here for both. By the way, it's just way too early for you to be moving in with Lexie. You don't have to do everything I do.
Mark: This is not about you! I have my own future to think about. Life is short. Look at what's going on with Stevens.
Derek: Don't worry about Stevens. I've got a plan.
Derek: Look.
Izzie: I'm looking, But, I don't see anything.
Derek: Because there's nothing there. The scan's clean.
Bailey: I told you.
Izzie: Then why is Denny back? The man's a hallucination, that means there has to be something there.
Bailey: Izzie, if it's clear then...
Izzie: I wanna go to this wedding. I wanna watch the bride walk down the aisle. I wanna hear the vows. I wanna catch the bouquet. I planned this wedding down to the very last detail. It's the perfect wedding. This wedding, is perfect. You know how much I wanna be there. So why would I tell you about Denny? Today of all days, why wouldn't I just wait? Denny is back. That means something is there.
Bailey: It's not like we can just map the brain for hallucinations the way we do with seizures.
Derek: Wait a minute. What are hallucinations?
Izzie: Hallucinations are neurons firing in the brain.
Derek: Exactly.
Bailey: Why?
Derek: Well, it's never been done before. But if, if we can somehow induce your hallucination, there's a chance we could pick it up on an EEG. Then, we could pin point the part of the brain that's hallucinating.
Derek: You paged me?
Izzie: Yes. Did you get the cheque for the caterers, and the cash tips for the waiters?
Derek: Yes.
Izzie: Ah, did you write your vows?
Derek: Not yet, I will.
Izzie: Derek, you have to write your vows. What you say to Meredith, on this day, it's important. She'll remember it for the rest of her life.
Derek: Yeah, Izzie, I have patients. So, if you paged me to talk about the wedding I...
Izzie: That's not why I paged you.
Derek: I have a craniotomy to get to.
Izzie: He's back. Denny, he's back.
Derek: I'll page Dr. Bailey and we'll order an...
Izzie: An MRI. I know the drill.
Meredith: (Der kisses her) Hey, so, ah, we have to move the wedding up for Izzie. She's... (shakes her head)
Derek: Ok. Packing up your mom's journals?
Meredith: Yeah. You know, there's nothing in these for me. I keep thinking, but I dunno. I don't wanna throw them away so I was gonna give them to the Chief. And, he can come to the wedding. If you want. He can come.
Derek: Ok.
Derek: You just have to give her some room. You two have history.
Richard: I apologized.
Derek I know, and it's loaded.
Richard: Look, she keeps yelling at me that I'm not her father. Well, I am not. I fell in love with her mother, that's all I did.
Derek: Her mother never got over you. And she's not gonna...
Richard: Oh, that's not my fault. Look I was young, lots of people have affairs. They have affairs and they don't... Look what Ellis did after I left, that's on Ellis. And I'm trying to run a hospital here.
Derek: She's doing the best she can Richard.
Richard: Well, her best isn't good enough. If any other resident... If any other resident pulled the crap she did today. She is still here because of my history with you. That's it. That's the only reason.
Derek: You keep saying you're not her father, but you... ok... you know, since we're talking. You're the most professional guy I know. Most level headed. Except when it comes to Meredith Grey. You gave me hell. You know, you weren't gonna give me Chief because I was dating Meredith Grey. You told her about the ring, you sent her out to the woods to bring me back. That's not running a hospital. You paged her to your office to try and address us. You paged her again today for Thatcher. You have history with her. You keep saying you're not her father, but the way you act, you consider her family. For what it's worth.
Meredith: I know Richard Webber's your friend.
Derek: It's not about Richard.
Meredith: It is! It is about him. Because, I have to deal with him on a professional basis everyday. And I have tried to draw a line with him, and he won't respect it. He doesn't respect it. He uses his relationship with you...
Derek: Richard doesn't use his relationship...
Meredith: Stop defending him! Ok, be on my side. I need you to be on my side.
Derek: Ok.
Meredith: He's not your best friend. He's not your Cristina. Which is why I feel like it's ok to say to you he is not invited to our wedding. Because, I swear Derek, if he's there, I won't be. And I'm the bride, so I have to be. So, I'm begging you please. He's not invited, ok?
Derek: Ok.
Meredith: Thank you.
Derek: Mhmm.
Izzie: YAY! Oh, that's the one!
Bailey: Very dapper Dr. Shepherd.
Derek: You're serious about this? It's not some cruel joke?
Izzie: You look fantastic. He looks fantastic right?
Meredith: Yeah.
Cristina: Whatever.
Alex: Yeah.
George. Yeah.
