Grey's Anatomy (2005–…): Season 6, Episode 10 - Holidaze - full transcript

The best gift
i ever got

Was for christmas
when i was 10...

My very first suture kit.

I used it
until my fingers bled,

And then i tried to use it
to stitch up my fingers.

Thank you for meeting me.

You're the chief of surgery.
If you page, i'm here.

It put me on the path
to becoming a surgeon.

I want to say something.

I need to say something...

About what happened
the other night.



I-I need you to know
it wasn't...

Well, it isn't
what you think.

Oh. I don't think anything

About your
personal life, sir.

I had a problem...
a long time ago.

I was diagnosed
with alcoholism.

Or i diagnosed myself.

And i didn't take a drink
for almost 20 years.

But i think
it was a misdiagnosis.

I'm not saying my drinking
wasn't bad, because it was.

But there is
such a thing as...

Situational depression.

And i think that's what
i was suffering from,

And it escalated my drinking.



Situational depression?

Your mother.
Yes.

Well, she escalated
my drinking, too, so...

Have you told anyone
what you saw?

I mean, have you told derek?

No.

No.

Well... since i took
a step back from surgery,

I've had some time to really
look at our residents.

And your work...

Is extraordinary.

A lot like your mother's.

And since i have some time--

Some extra time--

Maybe you would like
a mentor.

Maybe i could teach you
some things.

Have you ever done
a 2-Layered, continuous suture

For an anastomosis?

My point is,
sometimes the best gifts

Come in
really surprising packages.

No.

Take a seat.

You're about to.

Wait.

Oh, it's teddy.
Ah, i love it when it's teddy.

Okay.

Don't you think it's strange
that he's mentoring you at night

And still not talking to me?

Since the merger, it is
impossible to get o.R. Time.

And who is responsible
for that?

That's what i'm saying.
I need all the help i can get.

And i am saying,
he is using you to get to me.
He is not.

Then why now? Why are you
suddenly seeing so much of him?

I'm done talking about this.

If you want to stay mad,
stay mad.

But i'm just gonna be here
kissing you.

Oh, my god.
Oh, my god. Wow.

That is the biggest
pseudoaneurysm i've ever seen.

It's at the suture line
of the transplant.

The new heart is dying.
Damn it.

Poor guy that brought her in.

I think they were on
their third date.

It doesn't even look
like a heart anymore.

That's because it's not.

It's a chunk of useless flesh
that has to come out right now.

You're taking the heart out?

What are you gonna
replace it with?

I don't know. We're gonna have
to figure it out as we go.

Okay, wait.
Let me get this straight.

You removed her heart?
Yes.

A-And she can live
that way?

Like--Like what,
like a-A vampire?
Usually you'd connect

A ventricular assist device
to the heart,

But since she doesn't
have a heart--

Dr. Altman attached two, um,
devices to her blood vessels.

Now this machine now pumps
the blood through her body,

Which is basically, um,
a miracle.

I really like her.
Uh, i like her a lot.

But we've only had four dates.

I'm supposed
to have thanksgiving

With my family, you know?

She was gonna join us.

And now she's like a...

She can really live
without a heart?

If you don't want to stay,
we have a great nursing staff,

Great doctors.

She'll be in good hands.

No. You know, she doesn't
even have a family.

And if it was me,
i would want somebody here.

So... i'll stay.

Okay.

Tucker and little tuck
are both fine.

Yeah, i know.

I'm sorry i have to work today
and on christmas this year.

Yeah. Uh, tucker and i
were hoping to bring him home

To visit you.

Mom, um, i have to go.

Happy thanksgiving, mom.

You didn't tell your parents
about the divorce?

How long can you
keep that a secret?

When you started
dating women,

How long did you keep
that secret from your family?

Okay.
Wh--

When did the bleeding start?

This morning.
He's had these before.

I just... i've never seen
a nosebleed go on like this.

There's blood on timmy, mom.

Mr. And mrs. Jacobsen,
can i see you?

Go ahead.
We'll be fine.

Nicholas has what is called
an arteriovenous malformation.

It's a cluster of tangled
blood vessels in his brain.

It's what's causing
the bleeding.

In order to stop the bleeding,
we need to remove it.

Y-Y-You mean like
brain surgery or...

I'll do everything i can
to protect the brain tissue

And minimize damage.

I'm sorry.
I know it's scary.

But we have to go in
right away.

Excuse me.

I'm looking
for dr. Mark sloan.

Um, you see the dude
who was burned...

Trying to deep fry a turkey?

Sloan's the guy
making him scream like a girl.

Dr. Sloan?

Yeah.

Hi.

Um, so this is
a little weird,

But, um... my name
is sloan reilly.

And, uh, my mom's
samantha reilly.

And, uh, she told you my dad

Hi.

How's it, uh,
how's it going in here?

Great.
Fine.

Okay.

So have we broached the question
of a paternity test?

'Cause i brought supplies.

She's 18. That's not
very much younger than me.

Well, it's not
that shocking actually.

I mean, the way mark got around
before he met you,

There could be
a gaggle of sloans.

Sloan jones. Sloan smith.
Sloan sloan.
Mean.

Ah, damn it.

Son of a bitch.

I can't access the feeders.

So... what does that mean?
It means i can't get at it.

I can do a temporary fix,

But once he starts bleeding
again, which he will,

There won't be anything
we can do.

So we're just gonna...
send him home to die?

Happy thanksgiving,
jacobsen family.

Nice day.

Little chilly.
Hmm. Yeah.

It's brisk, though.
It's not cold.

Right.

Look, teddy...

No. I... i know.

I-I-I-I don't--
I don't understand.

You--You said that--That he
would die without the surgery.

And now you're telling us we're
supposed to just take him home?

Right. Well, i've stopped
the bleeding temporarily.

But the only way to remove
the a.V.M. Safely

Is through the sinus.
Well, why don't you do that?

Because there are no instruments
that can maneuver through

A nasal cavity this small
and get the appropriate angles.

Why not? Who does that?

Who invents those things?

Mark...

Now might be a good place
for you to say something.

Out loud.

Dude, are you, like,
high or something?

Sloan.
Yeah.

Yes

Mark, i need you
on something.

I have a daughter, derek.
Yeah.

An 18-Year-Old daughter.

I am too young to have
an 18 year old.

It's a nail in my coffin. It's
like death has come to call.

Okay, can we put a pin

In your existential crisis
for a minute?

No. That's why they call it
a crisis.

Look, dr. Robbins and i
have a 6 year old

With an inoperable a.V.M.

We need your help
to make it operable.

This is
the best thanksgiving ever.

No obnoxious relatives.

No stupid traditions.

No going around
the table and saying

What you're grateful for.

Yeah, i think we should do
the opposite.

Talk about what we're
not grateful for.

The merger.

The mercy westers.
They're like the plague.

I mean,
stealing all our surgeries,

Eating all that pie
in the nurses' station.

You're doing that wrong.
I am not.

You are. Can i show you?

Private lessons
with the chief...

Man, those daddy issues
are working for you.

I don't have daddy issues.
He's teaching me.

You're his bitch.
Well, in that case,
you're teddy's bitch.

Maybe that's my problem.
I'm nobody's bitch.

Oh, well,
you were izzie's bitch.
You're the bitch.

You know what?
It's thanksgiving.
Well--

Can we just have
no name-Calling?
Yeah. Please.

Whatever. Just show me
that stitch again.

Hey!

Hey.

Hi.
Hello.

Welcome. Happy thanksgiving.
Who wants wine?

Ooh, i do.
No, you--You don't.

Um... hey, everybody.

Uh, well,
the results are in.

It, uh, turns out
sloan was right

About her parentage.

I am her dad.

Um, so here's another thing
to be thankful for.

Lexie, sloan here

Is gonna move in with us
for a little while.

Oh, my god.
Oh!

Now just--Just ease up.

Let the suture
do the work for you.

You know, it's like a dance.

You know, you let the needle
be the man,

Let it take the lead,

And let your hand just follow.

Look at that. I haven't seen
skill like that since...

Your mother.

That woman...
she could dance.

You should
make up with derek.

It's christmas. It's time.

You need to take
perpendicular bites

About a millimeter apart.

How's it feel?

Still tingling?
Oh, it's fine.

I pretty much
have full sensation.

Great. Good.

So...

Have you, uh...

I mean, uh, you think
you could ask her

How long
she's planning to stay?

Mark, it's been a month,

And you've exchanged
three sentences with her.

Two of them were,
"pass the cereal."

In the spirit of the holiday,

Maybe you can
ask her yourself.

She's pretty easy to like
once you get to know her.

Really?

No. She's a vapid,
vapid girl,

But she's your daughter, okay?
So--So try.

Okay?
Try--Try to be her dad.

Go.

What are you looking at,
you old perv?

Dad!

Merry christmas.

Uh, your mother sent me.

Uh-Oh. You heard.

Your cousin said something

To her husband
in front of your niece,

Who said something
to your younger niece,

Who said something
to your mother.

I-I was planning to put
a tree up, i just--
And where's tuck?

He's back east
with tucker's family.

He was with me
for thanksgiving.

So it's true. You are getting
a divorce.

It's weird.

No heartbeat.

I used to climb mountains,
you know?

One time i did the inca trail.

It's four mountains
in three days.

The second day
there's this climb.

It's eight hours straight.

And you are so tired,

And the air is so thin,
you don't even talk.

All you do is climb.

And it's just you
and your breathing

And your heartbeat
pounding in your ears.

It's just hard
getting used to no heartbeat.

And i'm getting tired.

Really tired.

I know.

You know what? You just need to
hang on till new year's eve.

There's a lot of drunk drivers,
a lot of brain death.

It's an organ-Palooza.
(Chuckles)

Kelsey, you just
gotta hang on, okay?

You'll hike again,
you know?

We'll hike together.

It's such a beautiful world
outside of this hospital.

It's snowy and quiet...
cold...

And perfect.

So, you know, you just gotta
make it until new year's eve.

I need to go outside.

What?
What?

I might die.
We all know that.

I might die really soon.

But snow is my favorite thing
in the whole wide world.

It's my favorite thing.

Please.

Please, okay?

I'm sorry, but--
We can do that.

We can do that.

I want to bolt.
I want to quit.

I want to...
go back to new york

Or i don't know--Arkansas--

Somewhere no one can come
looking for me.

I don't know
how to talk to her. I...

And i don't know
what she wants from me.

It's the guilt, you know?

It's like every time
i look at her, it just...

The guilt is like
a punch in the gut every day.

Well, you shouldn't
feel guilty. You didn't know.

I did know.

I knew 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.

You know, i figured she got
an abortion. Hoped.

But i did know.

Well, you're
a different guy now.

You're not 18 anymore.
You've grown-Up.

You're capable of better.

Nicholas is back in the e.R.
He's got a nosebleed, bad.

I've been trying to stop it
for an hour.

We can't operate.
We're not ready.

All right, well, then i'll
admit him and keep transfusing

Until the equipment's done,
which is gonna be soon, i hope?

Um, hello.
Are you bailey's--

Or i mean, miranda's dad?

William bailey.
Uh, you can call me bill.

Okay. Hi, bill.

I'm callie torres.
I'm a-A friend of bailey's.

She mentioned that
she snuck you in here.

Said i should come say hi.

So what's that
she's doing down there?

Oh, that's a hernia repair.

We get a lot of hernias
at christmas.

Lots of people lifting trees
or heavy gifts

Or santa bags.

It's--Oh, we get a lot
of broken bones, too,

'Cause of the weather.

Oh, i had this, uh,
this guy earlier.

He got an electric shock
from some christmas lights.

The shock was so big that it
broke both of his wrists.

Yeah. Anyway,
i'm dating women and--

Uh, i'm sorry?

Oh, i'm, uh... i've recently
started dating women.

And my family had a really
hard time accepting that,

But, you know,
we worked through it.

And, um...

Bailey said
that you're having

A hard time
with her divorce,

Which i totally understand.

But i... i j--

I wanted to say that

She didn't come
to that decision lightly.

And she's a good person,
and...

Merry christmas.

Did hunt ever tell you
about the time

That he made snow?
No.

His guys were feeling
the holidays pretty bad,

So hunt orders one of those
snow makers on christmas eve.

He tries
to get the thing going,

But the minute that the snow
hit the sand, it melts.

So hunt
blindfolded his guys

And made them
put their faces

Right up
to the snowblower.

There was this one kid
from minnesota.

He actually cried.

He said it felt exactly
like christmas at home.

Huh.

Ooh, hunt.

Hunt's so delicious when he's
tending to bloody soldiers.

Love me some hunt.

Shut up. What are you...

So how was the view?

I have been a proud father.

Your whole life,
i have been a proud father.

Your mother and i
sat in the front row

Of every dance class,
every oboe recital,

And we cheered.

We sat in the front row
of every graduation.

I was always the first one
on my feet

And the loudest one
in the crowd.

I have been...
a proud father.

And today, miranda,
i-I s-Sat in the gallery,

And i watched you repair
some fat man's hernia.

And for the first time
in my life,

I felt ashamed of you.

This is what you do
on christmas?

For this,
you traded your husband?

For this, you traded
your child's family?

So you could work all day

And go home alone
on christmas

To an empty house
without even a tree.

I have been a proud father...

Miranda.

But i would be
a bad father today

If i didn't look you
in the eye

And tell you that you
have made a terrible mistake.

You broke your family.

You set your son up to fail.

And the child i raised...

Huh, she was raised
better than that.

Well, that's something
you don't see every day.

She could code.
The monitor could short out.

Teddy's a brilliant surgeon,

But i-I don't get
how she made this call.

I get it.
It's patient care.

And teddy's always been
a sucker for christmas.

Oh, my god. Kelsey!

From your x-Rays and c.T.,

It looks like part of
your bowel has died.

It--It's a side effect
of your poor circulation.

It's why you collapsed.

But just...
fix her, okay?

She can't
have come this far to...

Just fix her.

We're gonna need to repair
this as soon as possible.

The more time we wait,
the more bowel dies.
Yeah, but how?

She's septic, hypotensive,
and she has no heart.

(Teddy) her pressure's too low
for general anesthesia.

She won't survive.

Then... we won't
put her under general.

Andthis goes through the nose
to the base of the skull,

And then i drill
the bone off.

Well, what happens
once you drill the holes?

We put
miniature staple clips

On the vessels.
With what instrument?

We don't have it. Not yet.
But we will. We will.

We're, uh, still trying to
figure out how to build it,

But we're on it.

Uh... i would like

An invitation to your home
for christmas dinner.

I know it's very late for me

To be asking
for such an invitation,

Given that it is, in fact,
christmas day.

However, i have
a very worried father,

And if i don't look like
i have some sort of life,

He'll never leave.

I have a bowel infarction
to repair, and then after that,

I'll be free
to come to your home.
Sounds fine.

Oh, absolutely.
Thank you.

The chief just cut off
the funding for our equipment.
What?

What?
We're way over budget,

And nicholas
is running out of time.

We want our bonuses to go
towardssorry. For nicholas jacobsen.

Sorry, you can't do that.

No, but it'll be like
a donation.
They're our bonuses.

There are no bonuses.
That's what he's trying to say.

There are no bonuses
this year. I'm sorry.

Merry christmas.

I'll write a check.
How much?

I'll split it with you.
Thank you.

I have a teenager. What if
she wants to go to college?
Have you met her?

Fine, i'm in.

Thank you. I'll get back to
you with numbers. Uh, shep.

Chief.

I'm sorry
i tried to fire you.

And in the spirit
of the holidays, i was, uh...

Sorry.

* i really can't stay *

* but, baby,
it's cold outside *

* i've got to go 'way *

* but, baby,
it's cold outside *

* this evening has been *
* been *

* so very nice *
* hopin' you would
drop in *

* i'll hold your hands *

* they're like ice *
* my mother
will start to worry *

* hey, beautiful,
what's your hurry? *

* my father will be
pacing the floor *

* listen to the fire roar *

* so really,
i'd better scurry *

* well, maybe just
a half a drink more... *

You're not serious. You got him
a snow globe of seattle?

What? He likes seattle.

I gave you 50 bucks.
Where's my change?

Mark...
your kids are bickering.

Have you
talked to her yet?

I'm workin' on it.

Your sister's got
a ready-Made family there.

Well, don't worry.
She didn't forget about you.

She invited you, right?

He's drinking... isn't he?

Richard.

He's off the wagon.

Well, he's drinking eggnog.
It's christmas.

Everybody drinks eggnog
at christmas.

Mm, some people do.
Recovering alcoholics don't.

He's not an alcoholic.

That was a misdiagnosis.

Is that
what he's telling you?

Meredith, he is a surgeon
and he is drinking,

And he is an alcoholic.

That could quickly
become catastrophic.

Were you drinking
when i was a kid,

When you left me
with my mother

And got another family
and never looked back?

No.

No, i didn't start drinking
till much later.

Well, then we can't blame
the world's evils

On alcohol, can we?

Oh, yeah.

It hurts.
I know.

Surgery with only a local
anesthetic is not ideal.

Hang in there.

Okay, okay.

It's gonna be okay.

I'm here with you,
all right?

Hey, hey. Hey, no tears.
No tears at christmas.

No, there's only, uh,

Lights and, um, snowmen...

And songs.

Um...

* oh, the weather outside
is frightful *

* but the fire
is so delightful *

Come on now.

* but since
we've no place to go *

Karev.

No, thanks.

Sing, yang.
Oh, no. I don't um, i'm jewish.

Hey, don't play
the race card with me.

Sing or get off my service.

* let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow *

* it doesn't show signs
of stopping *

* and i've brought
some corn for popping *

You, too, karev.

* the lights are turned
way down low *

* let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow *

The house
looks beautiful, mer.
Thank you.

Callie?

Working.
Oh, that's too bad.

Here,
you want some stuffing?
Thanks.

That's all, thank you.
Oh, how--How'd kelsey do?

Uh, well.
Who's kelsey?

A girl with no heart.

I had to do a laparoscopic
bowel repair

While the poor thing
was awake on the table.

Miranda,
mind your manners.

Even if surgery is your
whole life, it doesn't mean

You have to talk about bowels
at the dinner table.

My child is healthy.

Excuse me?

He may not be with me tonight,
but he's healthy...

I didn't say he--
And he's well-Loved.
He's a well-Loved boy.

And he's a happy boy.

And staying
in an unhappy marriage--

Now is not the time
or the place--

Staying in an unhappy marriage,
a marriage that i've outgrown,

A marriage full of ultimatums
and numbness and resentment--

Miranda--

That is not
the kind of life

I want to model
for my child.

That is not what
i want him to believe

Married love is.

Look, i know what's possible.

I know
what's out there for me

Because you taught me well.

You and mom showed me
what true love looks like.

So i chose not to settle,
and i'm happier for it,

Even if i'm alone
at christmas.

My child is healthy,
and i'm happy.

And, you know,
part of my happiness is

The fact that i got to repair
a woman's bowel

And save her life today.

And that's god's work,

Which makes this appropriate
christmas dinner conversation.

Yeah.

I'm happy.

And my child is healthy.

And that's enough
for me today, dad.

That's enough.

Uh, green beans, anyone?

Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay.

Here i would advise
a one-Hand tie.

Um, okay. Uh, why don't i talk
and you operate?
Good.

Last night
was my last drink.

The shaking will stop soon.
Good. Good for you.

That doesn't mean i have to
quit drinking tequila, does it?

'Cause i really like tequila.

It's new year's eve.

I know.

She shows no signs of leaving--
No suitcase packed, nothing.

Talk to her right
now, or no more sex for you.

So...

What you reading?

I can tell you don't
really like me,

And, um, your girlfriend's,
like, totally freaked out by me

'Cause i'm kinda, like,
hotter than her.

But i'm pregnant. Yeah.

I'm having a baby, and, um,

That's why
i dropped out of school

And that's why
my mom kicked me out.

Look...

I know you don't
owe me anything...

But i can tell you guys
are about to kick me out...

And i... i...

I don't have
anywhere else to go.

Shh. Shh.

It's okay.

You're gonna be okay.

He's in hypovolemic shock.
He's lost too much blood.

And i didn't want to have to
do this, but we're gonna

Have to put a tube down his
throat to help him breathe.
Nicholas.

We need to tube him right now.
Don't tube him. Bag him
till we get to the o.R.

The o.R.?
We finished the instruments.

We did?
Yeah, we're gonna operate.

I just need you to sign
a consent form.

Pretty dramatic timing,
dr. Shepherd.

I like to make an entrance.
It's okay.

Her kidneys
are shutting down.

We need to find a donor.
We needed to find one yesterday.

It's new year's eve,
dr. Yang.

You said i just had to make it
to new year's eve.

Drunks all over the roads.
So yeah.

Tonight's are best shot.

Oh, how's it handling?

It could bend
a little more gently.

Don't get all critical.
Thing cost me a fortune.

I could use one more day
to practice. Okay.

Inserting the clip applier.

Why don't you try
torquing it a little

To get a different angle?

There you go.

Okay. There it is.

Perfect.

Okay.

Got it.
That's the last clip.

Oh, my god!
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're done here.

Nice work. Beautiful.
Oh, my god. You did it.

Amazing.

Hang on. Look at the clock.

And that's, uh, seven, six...

Five, four...

Three, two, one.

Happy new year!

Happy new year.

Happy new year.
Happy new year.

I'm just
gonna take a listen.

It looks like we're hitting
the final wave.

I need to talk to you.

Yeah, well, i'm headed to the--
What is wrong with you?

You.
Me?

Yeah, you.
You come over here...

Why did you tell me this now?
Why do you even care?

You didn't say a thing--All
those times, all those years--

So why now?
I don't know.

You don't know?

I don't know. I don't know.
What does it matter to you?

You never felt
the same way for--
Of course i did!

Of course i did.
I had all those feelings

For you, teddy, for years,

But you never
gave me anything.

You were engaged.

You never gave--For years...
you were engaged.
You were engaged, you idiot!

You never gave me
one damn hint!
You idiot.

I have loved you forever.

I have
loved you when i was coupled up.

I have loved you
when i was single.

I have loved you
every second of every day.

Teddy...

I love you.
I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with cristina.

You paged me?

Uh, i just confirmed,
uh, brain death

On an 18-Year-Old female

Involved in a head-On m.V.C.
Earlier this evening.

She's a match for kelsey.
So i called n.O.S.,

And they gave me the go-Ahead
for a directed donation.

Now dr. Bailey will do
the organ recovery,

And i set up o.R. Two
for kelsey.

That is why new year's eve
is my favorite holiday.
Stop it.

This is not a celebration.
Come here.

No.

No, no, no, not my baby.

Please not my daughter.
Oh, my... i can't...

This is not a celebration.

No, no, no, you can't...

Oh, no.

Your kidney's
have stabilized,

And your vitals are stable,
and...

Everything looks great.

Feel.

Awesome, huh?

Um, i can only really
feel your boob, so...
hey!

You want to feel?
Uh, no. But i will listen.

Oh, my god. What are you doing?
Oh, my god. What are you doing?

I know it's only been
a couple of months.

And four dates. It's technically
been four dates.

You amaze me... every day.

And we went through
a war together.

We went through this together,
and we came out the other side.

And i think...

If we can get through this,
we can get through anything.

So marry me. Please.

Yes.

Of course.

I'm...

Insensitive sometimes.

But i'm not oblivious.

And i don't want you to,
uh, to be with me

Because you feel like you
owe me something because...

I mean, you two
went through war to--

I with you.

I'm with you
because i want to be.

I'm with you
because i love you.

Are you sure?

Every day, we get to give
the gift of life.

It cane painful,
it can be terrifying...

But in the end,
it's worth it...

Every time.

We all have
the opportunity to give.

Maybe the gifts
are not as dramatic

As what happens
in the operating room.

Uh... so how was
new year's eve at tucker's?

Oh, it was fine.

I kissed my grandson
at midnight east coast time,

And i tucked him into bed.

Okay. Uh, so you're
headed home today?

Mom's picking you up
at the airport?

Yeah.

I, uh...

Tucked you in every night
of your childhood.

Dad...
i tucked you in
and i kissed you goodnight

And i checked under the bed
for bad guys.

And you went and grew up
and got yourself a divorce...

And didn't bother to tell me.

I-I didn't know how
to... explain.

I didn't want
to disappoint you.

I-I didn't want to be judged.

I'm your father.

Can you imagine if little tuck
grew up and got a divorce

And didn't tell you?

Then i'm sorry, dad.

I'm--I'm so sorry.

Maybe the gift is to try
and make a simple apology.

I'm... never judging you.

I'm worrying about you.

Your mother and i
worry about you.

That's all.

Little tuck,

He's a real spitfire,
isn't he?

He is.

He sure is.

He doesn't seem
too much worse for wear.

Maybe it's to understand
another person's point of view.

Hi. I'm sorry
that i paged you.

He's pretty public here,

And i know what that could do,
you know, to his career.

I-I didn't know
what else to do.

Maybe it's to hold a secret
for a friend.

The joy, supposedly,
is in the giving.

Meredith.

Happy new year.

She is my star pupil, joe.

My little star.

And i'm so proud of her.

I am svery proud.

She will be
a brilliant surgeon...

Brilliant...

Just like her mother.

So when the joy is gone...

Get dr. Grey a drink, joe.
Tequila.

When the giving starts to feel
more like a burden...

That's when you stop.

And, um... i will--
I'll have another club soda.

But if you're like
most people i know...

And it's on me--On me.

You give till it hurts...

And then you give some more.
