"Wait, what do you mean, too late?" "With all medical realities being equal, why does one patient live and another dies?" "I believe there's a mind body spirit connection, and if Justin really doesn't want this heart, his body will reject it." "Okay, let me get this straight." "You don't just celebrate Christmas you actually believe in Santa Claus?" "Dr. Yang, go and schedule a psychiatric consult for our patient." "We're" "we're not done here." " You are." "I don't know." "It hurts here and here and back here." "Any chance you got hit by a truck and forgot about it?" "You're judged on bedside manner, Alex." "I wouldn't be surprised if that's why you failed the last time." "Could you be any more patronizing?" " I didn't ask for your help." " Enough with the ego, you big baby." "I gave up a surgery for this." "Now like I said it hurts here and here and back here." "Oh, and this morning" "I noticed my poop was a funny grayish colour." "That's all you can save of his stomach?" "If eating is what this man lives for, we should put him out of his misery." "Paging Dr. Karevian." "What did you just say?" "Just it's a joke." "Kevorkian, karevian?" "Alex Karev?" "I get the joke." "I just don't think it's funny." "You see this, O'Malley?" "I make one mistake with this scalpel, and this man's dead." "My husband he makes mistakes at his job all the time." "As far as I know, he's never killed anyone, but I have, and you will, and Alex did." "He made a math mistake, and a man died for it." "You run that past your accountant, see how he'd feel if every mistake he made, someone ended up dead." "But you don't have to like Alex." "You don't have to care about him." "But you damn well have to be on his side." "Hold that." "what a great family." "Hannumas." "Chrismukkah." "And how cute are those kids?" "Really, Dr. Stevens?" "Chrismukkah?" "I think it's sweet." "Do you happen to know what time of year neurosurgeons are the busiest,Dr. Stevens?" "No, there's a time of year?" "Well, there's no hard or fast rule, but brain injuries tend to pile up around the holidays, like our friend here." "Folks fall off their roofs while they string up lights, or they go skating for the first time in a decade and break their heads open." "And every year, people drive through blizzards to get to parties where they kiss germ-infected strangers under poisonous mistletoe, and then they get so drunk that they smash their heads through their windshield on their way home." "Like I said, there's no hard or fast rule." " Does this hurt, Mrs. Grey?" " Yes, doctor." "How about here?" "Does it hurt here?" "Yes, it does." "Okay, seriously, if you're that lonely, there are excellent vibrators." "I can give you catalog." "He failed his boards." "I'm helping him study." " You failed your practical?" " Glad to know you keep a secret, Grey." "I kept your secret." "It didn't do you any good." " He needs our help." " Oh, you're not serious." " What if that were you?" " It wouldn't be." "Well, what if it were?" " It wouldn't be." " I have to go." "Be a patient." "Do it for me." "Fine, but when tiny Tim goes all Norman bates on us, I'm blaming you." " Diagnosis?" " Gallstones." "Yes." "I'm a 55-year-old man." "I'm nauseous and I can't stop throwing up." "Forget it, all right?" "I didn't ask for anybody's help." "Okay, evil spawn, you can nurse your pride, like you were being a nurse, or you can pass your test and be a doctor." "Up to you." " Any abdominal pain?" " Yes, from my giant fat belly all the way to my back." "Oh, and I'm drunk." "Hiccup, hiccup." "I got another one for you." "He tried to gift wrap a 70-inch TV for his wife?" " Hernia?" " Strangulated." "Pretty ugly." "Well, you just know the wife hates TV." " Grey, is that other project covered?" " I think so." "Then scrub in." "O'Malley, go tell Nadia Shelton she's off the schedule till tomorrow." "Till tomorrow?" "Another day's not gonna kill me, Jimmy." " I promise tomorrow for sure." " Today was for sure." "What's he saying?" "He's saying they can't operate till tomorrow!" " Outrageous!" " I cannot believe this!" "." "Can you please could you please turn that down?" "Your mother needs to rest." "Who are you, my dad?" "Sir, could you please tell your son don't talk to me about my son." "Who the hell do you think you are?" "I'm really sorry." "I think that your wife should rest." "I'm listening here!" "I can't go Christmas shopping with my daughter." "You people have ruined everything." "I hope you're happy." "I'm very sorry." "I'm very sorry." "that cuts it here, doc." "Thanks a lot." "Yeah, okay, you're really grabbing me now." "That's assault." "This is an exam pat." "What,what the hell?" "Does Izzie know?" "Does Burke know about this?" "Un bunches your panties, George." "We're helping Alex study." "Do it." "I can't hear you when his hand is on your boob." "Take your handoff my boob, Alex." "Thank you." " Study for what?" " Shut it, yang." " Alex failed his boards." " Seriously?" "I failed one part of one board." "That's it." "Still, that's pretty embarrassing." "Eh!" "He's all yours, George." "Do your worst." "You're not giving me a rectal." "Do not ask me to cough." "You page me?" "I didn't see a psych consult scheduled here." "I couldn't get one." "I tried to, but they told meto come back in January." "You disrespected me." "You mocked me in my o. r." "That can't happen." "I it won't happen again." "You equated my spirituality with a belief in Santa Claus." "Burke, science is the one thing, you know?" "It's the one thing we have in common." "I'm an intern." "You're not." "I'm a slob, and you're not." "I say I wanna keep our relationship private, and you go and tell the chief of surgery and you ask me to move in with you, and now you're religious." "Spiritual." "There's a difference." "Well, not to me." "I don't know what we're doing." "Well, right now we're working." "Page me if he spes a fever." "Tell Mrs. Davison to hire a private therapist or a priest anyone Justin would talk to." "Mrs. Epstein?" " How is he?" " He's gonna be fine." " He's still a little groggy, but - my dad wants to see me now, okay?" " Okay." "Come on in." " Okay." " We have to run, run, and run fast." " Yeah, let's run, run, and run." "Let's run and see daddy." "Its okay, guys." "Daddy's okay." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "I could kiss it better, daddy." "Jillian, I have a headache." " I'll sing for you, daddy." " No." "no, Leah." "Damn it, Leah, shut up!" "I can't stand that insipid song!" " Tim!" " Just get out!" "Get out!" "Get the hell out of here all of you!" "You stupid Shepherd, you broke my dad's brain!" "how did that happen?" "I mean, his personality you didn't go any where near the frontal lobe." "Well, the c. t." "Might have missed something, or the personality change could be a reaction from the anesthesia wearing off." " It could be the pain." " He was in pain before the surgery." "Watch him for a couple hours." " If he doesn't improve, get a new c. t." " Okay." "Dr. Stevens?" "You had his brain open literally open." "He was laying there unconscious and vulnerable and you think I poisoned him with my antl-holiday venom?" "Well, you're the one that's always saying there's a lot about the brain that we don't know." "How do you know that your words didn't speak to him on some unconscious level?" "I mean, he trusted you to be his Shepherd." "Dr. Stevens, you should be a little embarrassed." " I am." " Good." "Oh, this is the c. c. u." "There are no trees allowed in the c. c. u." "I know, but it's never really been enforced, so how's he doing?" "Uh, surgery went smoothly, but it's too soon to tell." "He's really a good boy, you know?" "You just met him at a difficult time." "He's been down." "I don't know why, but father Michael will be able to talk to him." "No offense,but your son doesn't seem to be a fan of the holidays." "He doesn't believe in Santa." "Yes, well, a mother's job is to protect their child's innocence," "and this Christmas could be his last time, so that's what you said last year and the year before that." "Baby, you're awake!" "You look great!" "My big, strong boy." "Santa ought you back to me." " What are you doing?" " Sorry, c. c. u." "Regulations." " Are we using mesh?" " Yes, the conjoined tendon is..." "Dr. Bailey?" "Just wouldn't want to throw up in the body cavity." "Dr. Bailey, are you all right?" " Do you need" " I just, I need a minute, Grey." "Oh, when you operate, the rest of e world goes away hunger, thirst, pain." "You don't feel it in the o. r., but it's not that way" "when you're sharing your body with another person." "Okay." "Deaver retractor." "Are you sure you don't want me to go find someone to take over for you?" "What I want you to find me is a strawberry milkshake, extra thick." "Seriously?" "nausea comes with the hunger, Grey." "Go." "My throat it's, like, wicked sore, you!" "Plus, I go all these sick breakouts, right?" "Dude, seriously" "all right, all right, sit down, sit down." "Open up your mouth." "I'd like to inspect your tonsils." "What's wrong with you?" "Are you sick?" "Fix it." "I failed my practical board exam." "O'Malley's helping me study." "You failed your" " you're helping him?" " Just to study, nothing else!" "Izzie no, you don't get to say my name, and you are unbelievable!" "I was doing mono the whole fever and glands thing." "The acne was just part of the whole teenager thing." " Izzie, would you wait?" " I say I like the guy, and you can't stop hating him." " Izzie, you - and as soon as he screws me ov" " Izzie - you're his new best friend." "He failed his boards." "This is important." " He cheated on me!" " Busted?" " Yeah, I'm busted." " His exam is tomorrow." "You're in on this, too?" "He cheated on me, god!" "Told you she'd find out." "of course you're in on this." "She let him touch her boobs!" "Oh!" "He cheated on me with George's skanky syph nurse!" " That is just plain rude!" " We know he cheated on you." "That's why we let you turn the living room into Santa's freaking village." " What?" " We're not big on holidays!" "You know that, but we're trying to be supportive, because you're having a hard time." "But right now, Alex, he's having a harder time." "Why does everybody care what kind of time Alex is having?" "Because he's dirty uncle Sal." " You lost me." " Sorry, what?" "He's dirty uncle Sal, the one who embarrasses everyone at family reunions and who can't be left alone with the teenage girls, but you invite him to the picnic anyway." " I'm still lost." " Sorry, what?" "I have a mother who doesn't recognize me." "As far as family goes, this hospital, you guys are it, so I know you're pissed at Alex, but maybe you could try to help him anyway, sort of like in the spirit of this holiday" "you keep shoving down everybody's throats." "You" " what?" " Boob?" " Somebody get in here!" " Doctor!" "Get in here now!" " Get in here!" "Where is he?" " Do something!" "Do something, doctor!" "I'm taking you to surgery." "Prep her now." " It's about time." " Sorry." "I got sidetracked." "Nadia Shelton's ulcer perforated." "She's vomiting blood by the pint." " Is the chief back?" " Haven't seen him." "No." "All right, both of you scrub in." "I'm gonna need all the help I can get." "well, there it is left side of his frontal lobe." "Now why didn't we see that before?" "Intracerebral bleeds can have a delayed presentation." "Right." "You want to get him out of there?" "Uh, just prep an o. r." "I'm gonna talk to his wife." "Dr. Stevens." "Nice talking to you." "Think she'll ever talk to me again?" "I'm feeling strangely invisible." " Also inaudible." " What?" "Another surgery?" "So I guess dinner-shopping is out?" "Yeah, it's not gonna happen tonight." " Sorry." " No, you're not." "I'm just trying to figure out why you're not." " It's Christmas, Derek." " Yeah," "I know." "It's our season!" "What's going on?" "Are you mad?" "Are you depressed, what?" "No." "Mr. Epstein here is depressed." "He's bleeding from his frontal lobe." "Everything's fine." "We're fine, Addie." "You know, just I'll see you at home, okay?" "You need a second surgery,Mr. Epstein." "The frontal lobe is difficult." "We may be able to improve things, but you should be prepared for the possibility those things could get worse." "That's great, that's just great." "I am so glad we came to this hospital, so I could be treated by a bunch of quacks who don't know their asses from the inside of my skull!" "This isn't my husband." "This is not my husband." "He doesn't speak to me this way." "He doesn't speak to anyone this way." "I know this is difficult,Mrs. Epstein, but the important thing right now is that we stop the bleeding." "Look, he's the love of my life." "And I know that you have a lot of other patients and you do a lot of other surgeries," "but he's the love of my life." "Just..." "I just need your word that you'll treat this change in my husband's personality as seriously as you would fatal cancer," "because that's the way this feels to me and my kids." "And we're happy." "We're a happy family." "It just if you could just fix it just fix it." "Mrs. Epstein," "I'm gonna do everything in my power, all right?" "Okay?" "I didn't want it." "I already got one new heart." "I didn't deserve another one." "Justin, you don't have to feel guilty about having a new heart." "God wants you to live." "That's why he sent you the heart." "I'm not stupid, okay?" "God didn't send me the heart," " and there's no such thing as god." " Justin!" "Marion, Marion." "It's all right." "The heart I have now my mom told me the heart came from Santa." "I thought elves made it in their factory or whatever, but that's not true, is it?" " No, it isn't." " Yeah." "I heard the nurses talking." "Where it really came from is some other kid." "Some other kid had to die so I could live." "Justin,baby and then I outgrew that kid's heart." "So for the last two years my mom has been praying that another kid would die for me." "That's what you pray for all the time, isn't it, mom?" "that's what she pray for ,father" "How does God feel about that?" "Justin, Justin Justin?" "Justin, baby?" "Wake up, Justin!" "Nurse!" "Move, please!" "No, no, no!" "Code blue!" "Please, Justin!" "Just stay back." "Dear god, please!" "Justin, baby, I'm right here!" " Justin, I love you, baby!" " Please shut her up!" "He's in v-fib." "Charge the paddles to 100." " Charge." "Clear." "can you get him back on the donor's list?" " I mean, if it's a bad heart." " It's not a bad heart." "Well, can you get him back on the list?" "He's waited two years for this heart." "He has to fight for it." " He has to decide he wants to live." " Okay, medically speaking, is there anything else we haven't talked about?" "The way you're feeling right now it's why I have to believe in something bigger in me." "Because if I didn't that powerlessness would eat me alive." "Drill, please." "Any danger with two craniotomies in one day?" "No more than with one." " Is there any music?" " Any requests?" "Christmas Carols or Hanukkah." "Is there such a thing as hanukkah carols the brain is a mysterious thing, Dr. Stevens." "You nerver know what may penetrate the psyche." " whoa, look at that." " kissing ulcers." "One's perf." "The other one is bleeding." "Two ulcers." "I'm not surprised with that family." "I should've thrown them out." "Why didn't I throw them out?" "That's what I should have done." "I don't know why I didn't." "Stop whining, O'Malley." "You had your chance." "You didn't take it." "Move on." "Right, sorry." " Do not kick me!" " Excuse me?" "Are you kicking me under the table, O'Malley?" " No!" " Then clearly I wasn't talking to you." "You cannot kick me while I'm doing my job." "Thank you." "wake up!" "God, no wonder you failed your boards." "What, do you expect to learn this stuff by osmosis?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm a farmer, okay?" "I've been drooling and puking and crapping my pants." "You came here to help me study?" "Well, I'm not actually rapping my pants now, am I?" "Well, why would you want to help me after what I did?" "Because it's what Jesus would freaking do!" "you know, I don't believe in Santa either, Justin, or God." "I believe in medicine, and it's a medical miracle you're alive." "With the heart you had, you should have you should have died about two weeks after you were born," "except some surgeon figured out a way to give you someone else's heart, which is so much cooler than Santa." "so I'm just saying" "I think you should decide to live," "live so you can become a doctor, and you can find a way to do heart transplants without someone having to die." "Or you know, live so you can grow up and have kids and you know what?" "Raise them not to believe in Santa." "Now that would past or mom off." "just decide to live." "Because in your case, dying really isn't the best revenge." " How is she?" " Is she gonna be all right?" "She lost a lot of blood, but we were able to replace it and repair the tear." "She's gonna require several days' observation, but she should have a full recovery." " Oh, thank god." " Thank god is right." "'Cause we're certainly not gonna thank you." "We should sue you for all you're worth." "We sat here and sat here a sat here and sat here you want to help me out?" "Really?" "And watched you take patient after patient you got your second change." "Just don't screw it up." "...while you made my daughter wait for three whole days for her operation!" "I should sue you and this whole damn hospital!" "Okay, you could sue us, or you could just consider the possibility" " of just shutting the hell up." " What did you say to me?" " Did you hear what he said to me?" " I heard him!" " You can't talk to an old ladylike that." " Where is my daughter?" " I'd like to see her." " Well, you can't." "I'm her doctor."
