MEREDITH: Time. 3x02: I Am a Tree Original Airdate: 9/28/2006 Written by: Krista Vernoff Directed by: Jeff Melman MEREDITH: At any moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don't have control over most of them. When we get a chill, goosebumps. When we get excited, adrenaline. The body naturally follows it's impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. (Shot of Izzie in the kitchen, surrounded by dozens of muffins.) IZZIE: That's enough muffins. We don't need all these. No more muffins. (Yet she goes to make another batch.) MEREDITH: Of course, sometimes we have impulses we'd rather not control. (Christina walks into Burke's room and begins stripping off her scrubs, climbing atop his bed in nothing but her red lingerie.) BURKE: what are you doing? CHRISTINA: Just because you cant touch, doesn't mean you can't enjoy. MEREDITH: That we later wish we had. (Burke's parents walk into his room.) BURKE: Mama. Daddy. CHRISTINA: Oh.what. MRS.

NURSE: Sorry. It bought everyone coffee to celebrate saving the guy's life. CHRISTINA: I want my 20 bucks back! MEREDITH: You know it's not Tyler's fault you're a dirty, dirty stripper. CHRISTINA: You heard. MEREDITH: Everyone heard. Stripper CHRISTINA: Oh you're one to talk. Sleeping with two men. MEREDITH: Wrong. I'm not sleeping with either one of them. Not until I pick one. If I haven't made a decision by the end of the day, I'm flipping a coin. A girl can only hold out for so long. CHRISTINA: Oh and somehow I'm the dirty stripper. BAILEY: You two have time to round or are you too busy getting naked on hospital property? CHRISTINA: I wasn't. I wasn't naked! - CHIEF: You have coffee stain on your shirt. ADDISON: You have a bed on your couch CHIEF: Hope you're not hoping to see patients in your sweat suit. ADDISON: Actually I need the day off. CHIEF: A day off.for what? ADDISON: For drinking. I am feeling the need to do some drinking. Actually, I'm feeling the need to do some crying, but my tear ducts seem to be too proud, so I'm going to do some drinking instead. CHIEF: What no laboring moms today? ADDISON: No, because I think God knows I need to do some drinking today. CHIEF: You want to talk about it Addie, or you just want to be glib a little bit longer? ADDISON: Why are you living in your office? CHIEF: Marriage. is hard. ADDISON: Well thank goodness, mine seems to be just about over. - (A 30-something woman sits on her bed, eating a giant cake as the interns make rounds.)

CHIEF: What is all this? MS. SEABURY: This is chocolate raspberry soufflé cake and it's the best thing I've ever tasted in my life. Except for maybe the banana cream torte there, it's pretty stunning really. Bakeries deliver, did you know that? Please grab a fork. CHIEF: Ms. Seabury, you're scheduled for surgery this afternoon. MS. SEABURY: We push the surgery a little? Tomorrow maybe? Oh my God, you've got to taste this! BAILEY: Ma'am, you have an aggressive form of lung cancer. The sooner we get you into surgery, the better your chances of surviving. So I've heard. It's all very aggressive. I mean, it's very. (Ms. Seabury erupts in giggles.) MS. SEABURY: I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. I've never smoked pot. I've never drank. Before today, I hadn't had a desert in 10 years. I am the picture of health. And now.i have lung cancer. Come on it's absurd right? (still giggling) Oh.I'm sorry. I think I'm on a sugar high. (The doctors take the conversation outside.) CHIEF: O'Malley reschedule her surgery for tomorrow. And get her a psych consult. And no more food deliveries. GEORGE: Yes sir. MEREDITH (to George): Okay.(she nods her head toward Bailey) GEORGE: So.um Dr. Bailey? BAILEY: Surgeons don't say "Um" Dr. O'Malley. You want to be a surgeon, learn to speak like one. ALEX: Look he wants you to talk to the chief about Izzie. GEORGE: She just baking.a lot of baking, and it seems a waste for all her talent and medical skills to go into muffins. We just thought you might be willing to help. BAILEY: Stop.talking. GEORGE: Yes ma'am. (They follow her to the next room where Derek meets them.) DEREK: Well, good morning. Benjamin, Ruth. RUTH: Good Morning Dr. Shepherd DEREK: Morning. BENJAMIN: It doesn't feel like a very good morning to me I have to have brain surgery today. (We see Derek dreamily gazing at Meredith, and she smiles back.)

BENJAMIN: Pretty scary. Plus my sister's nervous, and when she gets nervous she sweats, and the windows in here don't open so it's pretty rank. RUTH: Benjamin. BENJAMIN: Was I rude Ruthie? RUTH: Let's let the doctors talk. CHRISTINA: Benjamin O'Leary, 32. In for the removal of a brain tumor that's pushing on his fronal temporal lobe. Clearly it's effecting his impulse control. BEN: It makes me sad everything I think, which apparently is annoying. This doctor looks annoyed anyway. Although it's hard to tell, cause she always has kind of a pinched uptight look on her face. Am I annoying you? CHRISTINA: It's fine. RUTH: You can't say it's fine. He doesn't perceive sarcasm or irony. If he's annoying you, you have to tell him. BEN: Maybe I'm not annoying her, Ruthie. CHRISTINA: No you are BAILEY: Dr. Yang. CHRISTINA: Well, he asked. DEREK: Ok, Dr. Yang, pinched and annoyed though she may be is going to be prepping you for surgery today. Do you have any questions for me? BEN: Is that blonde your girlfriend? Cause the way you keep looking at her, you might as well mount her right here and now. RUTH: Benjamin. BEN: I'm sorry, was that rude? BAILEY: I'm proud of you all. You make me proud. You reflect on me well. Grey, if you think you can keep you clothes on long enough to follow up the labs, I'd appreciate it. Karev, cover in the pit. ALEX: The pit? Wait, I'm off Gynie squad? BAILEY: Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd is out sick today You can cover the pit where you can. you can tell me who's damn panties are on the bulletin board? (Everyone giggles, and the entire floor turns to listen to what's going on.) CHRISTINA: Are those yours? BAILEY: This is a hospital, people. Serious work happens here. We save lives here. Oh is something funny? Whose are these? MEREDITH: This is bad. This isn't good

CHRISTINA: Well you'd better claim them. She thinks they're mine! Claim them! MEREDITH: No. BAILEY: Yeah, I know it's one of you. It's always one of mine. Always. So, tell me. Which one of you left your damn drawers on my surgical floor? CALLIE: Oh no, did I leave my underwear lying around again? I'm so sorry Bailey. It's my bad. (And with that. Callie removes the underwear, and trots off.) - BAILEY: O'Malley, Yang, prep your patients. Karev, pit, Grey, charts. All four of you, do not make me regret setting you loose in this hospital. O'Malley, what I mean by that? GEORGE: You mean to check with you before we cut any wires or steal any hearts. BAILEY: Are you trying to be clever? GEORGE: No ma'am. BAILEY: Better not be. GEORGE: Holy crap. CHRISTINA: The Nazi is definitely back. ALEX: Better than ever. CHRISTINA: Oh, Mrs Burke.Hi I'm Christina. I may have said that earlier. but. MRS. BURKE: Did I hear you refer to Miranada Bailey as a Nazi? CHRISTINA: No. Well. I mean yes, but. MRS. BURKE: You do understand that the Nazi's were responsible for the worst genocide in the history of man. And a racist genocide at that. I would think that as a woman of color and a doctor, no less, that you would think twice about using that word as a punch line. CHRISTINA: I will think about that in the future Mrs. Burke. DEREK: Mrs. Burke? Preston's mother? MRS. BURKE: Yes, and you are? DEREK: I'm Dr. Shepherd, the surgeon who operated on your son. MRS. BURKE: Thank you, brilliant surgeon. And a handsome man too. Your mother must be very proud. Do you mind, Dr. Shepherd, if I borrow your young intern for a cup of coffee? I'll bring her right back. DEREK: No problem. Dr. Grey can cover for Christina. MEREDITH: I'm sorry?
