Meredith: Hey.
Derek: Hey.
Meredith: How'd it go with the Chief?
Derek: Richard's not talking to me.
Meredith: What? Why?
Derek: I don't know. He's just... He's not himself.
Meredith: Well, what's he doing?
Derek: He's hiding out.
Meredith: Mmmm.
Derek: How are you holding up? Hmmm? (Kisses her) You've been up for like, what... 36 hours?
Meredith: 48. But, I'm good actually. I feel like it's all gonna be ok. Like we're all gonna keep our jobs, and we're all gonna be amazing people, and live amazing lives. (feels her forehead, Mer giggles) Unstable childhood.
Derek: (Smiles) Ah, yes.
Meredith: I get calm in a crisis. This is a crisis right?
Derek: I don't know. I don't know what this is.
Derek: We need to talk.
Richard: Look, I'm busy right now.
Derek: Are you making cuts?
Richard: I said I'm busy.
Derek: If you're making cuts in my department you need to consult with me.
Richard: When it's appropriate I'll consult the people I need to consult with.
Derek: People? I'm not people. I'm the guy that saved your ass. When Jennings came to me, you were done. Out of loyalty to you...
Richard: Loyalty? You came to me so you would seem like a good guy before you stole my job.
Derek: Are you making whole cuts or not?
Richard: Look, I said when I'm ready to tell my staff about decisions I will be making I will. When I'm ready. So, don't come barging in here like I owe you. I don't owe you a damn thing Derek. You work for me. I'm still the Chief of surgery at this hospital.
Derek: Then start acting like it!
Mark: You're tired, you're angry. You're gonna say something you'll regret. Get out of here for a while. Go to the driving range, get a bucket of balls.
Derek: I have a surgery in an hour.
Mark: So take a walk. Grab Meredith, take a walk.
Derek: Meredith won't leave the hospital. None of them will. Everybody's waiting a word from on high. Look, don't tell me Lexie's not worried.
Lexie: Is he in here, cause I've got the... ugh! [falls]
Mark: No, Lexie's worried.
Derek: Karev, what do you have?
Alex: 16 year old, dirt bike victim. GCS 15 reported before intubation.
Derek: Ok, on my count. Ready? 1...2...3.
Alex: I'm gonna scrub in.
Derek: So, he announces the merger, then he shuts himself in his office all day and refuses to talk to anybody.
Mark: This merger won't affect us. It's just a financial restructuring.
Derek: What do you think restructuring is? Cutting personnel. Are you prepared to lose all the good people? I'm not. Hey, tell Hunt he's good to go. I'll write up a consult later. I have to talk to Richard right now.
Richard: Shepherd?
Derek: You're a hard man to track down.
Richard: I'm busy, as you know.
Derek: Yeah, scoping out Mercy West. You planning on jumping ship? 'Cause I assume as a friend you would tell me if there's anything I need to know.
Richard: Those are rumors Derek.
Derek: There are a lot of rumors, and Jennings isn't answering my calls anymore.
Richard: Why are you calling Jennings Derek? I told you I would fill you in when there was something to tell. If you feel the need to go behind my back, at least do...
Derek: Behind your back? Behind your back! I'm the one whose got your back. Don't you forget that.
Mark: More suits? It's freaking people out. There's talk of downsizing, corporate take overs, rumors that Webber's jumping ship. You've got the Chief's ear. What's he got planned?
Derek: He's retiring. They're making me Chief.
Mark: No!
Derek: Yeah.
Mark: Really?
Derek: Yeah...
Mark: Really?
Derek: Yep.
Mark: Wow.
Derek: Mhm.
Mark: I mean, the Chief never said anything to me. I would have fought you hard for that. Well, I guess if that's what he wants, I guess congratulations are in order. (Derek laughs) Wait... that was... You're messing with me!
Derek: It's just too easy.
Mark: Oh, you've got a mean streak. You know that?
Derek: Yeah.
Mark: Mean! Seriously, what's going on?
Derek: I have no idea.
Alex: Woah.
Izzie: Oh my god Derek!
Derek: Hey, Hi!
Alex: Dude, get a room!
Izzie: On the stairs? Doesn't that hurt?
Meredith: Leave us alone, we're newly weds.
Izzie: A post it wedding does not make you newlyweds.
Derek: You know what... you're newlyweds too. You need your own space.
Alex: Dude, what are these?
Derek: Key's to my trailer, your new home. Enjoy.
Richard: Not now, please. Not now.
Derek: it's been a week. You've been avoiding me.
Richard: Not now.
Derek: I am buying you time you know. I am buying you time.
Richard: You have no idea what I've given. You have no idea what I have sacrificed. For every miscalculation you think you see there have been a hundred things that I have gotten right no one knows.
Richard: Did Torres decide about O'Malley? About his organs?
Derek: I don't know.
Richard: I'm gonna see where they are.
Derek: Look Chief I... I know this is the worst possible moment but, we need to talk. The board is planning a coup. They're saying that you've dropped the ball. That our ranking isn't coming up. They wanna oust you. They're asking me to support it. They're asking me to step up to take the job.
Richard: Take my job?
Derek: I told them I'd think about it. I bought you some time, but you need a plan.
Richard: Torres has made a decision.
Derek: Hey.
Meredith: Hey.
Derek: Need to go home?
Meredith: No.
Derek: Did you eat?
Meredith: No.
Derek: Can you eat?
Meredith: No.
Derek: You should cry.
Meredith: No.
Derek: Maybe if you cry you'll feel better.
Meredith: I... you just... just you being here is... and don't say anything. Just be here. That... that helps. How are you?
Alex: Meredith, we need you.
Meredith: Ok, excuse me.
Derek: His ICP went through the roof. We did everything...everything.
Owen: Chief, his organs are viable for now. It won't be long before he's acidotic and hypothermic. Is he a donor?
Richard: Um, ah... I don't know. I called his mother. She on her way. Let's close him up and get him to the ICU in case she wants to see him.
Damn it O'Malley, come on. Live.
