Season 3, Episode 15 and 16, Transcription
I did this transcription for an episode or two earlier this season and posted it here and people seemed to like it. I did it again for last night's (and the voiceover from last week's), so I thought I'd share again. It's not *everything*, just the parts I liked best.
Major Spoilers Below :)
Episode 15 Initial Voiceover
Voiceover: Disappearances happen in science. Disease can suddenly fade away. Tumors go missing. We open someone up to discover the cancer is gone. It's unexplained, it's rare, but it happens. We call it misdiagnosis, say we never saw it in the first place. Any explanation but the truth. That life is full of vanishing acts. If something that we didnt know we had disappears, do we miss it?
Episode 16 Quotes
Derek: (Pulls Meredith out of the bathtub) Meredith. Meredith, what are you doing?
Meredith: I was taking a bath.
Derek: That's not a bath, I know what a bath looks like.
Meredith: Drop it.
Derek: Look, your mother -
Meredith: Drop it.
Derek: Your mother - look, your mother was lucid and she said things and now she's -
Meredith: - gone, and everything's back to normal. It's not a big deal.
Derek: Yeah, except she's having heart surgery today. Hey, do you want me to talk to the Chief? I know you have that triage thing today, but he'll give you the day off.
Meredith: Stop. I do not need rescuing.
Derek: You would have drowned in the bathtub had I not been there.
Meredith: I'm a surgeon, I do the rescuing. You are not my knight in shining... whatever.
Derek: So we're going to fight because I pulled you out of the tub.
Meredith: You have a place. You could sleep at it. And then you don't have to pull me out of the bathtub. You're everywhere, all the time, saying things.
Derek: This is the happy ever after part. And in the happily ever after part, the guy is there, all the time, saying things, and the girls love it.
Meredith: Go to work, I'll see you there.
Derek: Just for the record, I am your knight in shining whatever.

Voiceover: Like I said, disappearances happen. Pains go phantom. Blood stops running. And people, people fade away.
There's more I have to say. So much more. But I'm disappeared.

Izzie: Oh, Cristina, Oh my God, you are not going to believe what I just did, I'm going to tell you, but you're not going to believe me, you're going to think I made the whole thing up.... I drilled a hole into this guy's skull. several holes, actually, with a drill I borrowed from a guy named Vince, packed the hole with freaking tissue and then brought him back here and then now I get to scrub in on his craniotomoy. --- It was like a ride, this crazy rollercoaster ride with like adrenaline shooting out of my ears. You would think that my hands would be shaking but they weren't, there was no shaking. Did I mention the drill? -- The scene where I was a rockstar, by the way. [Note: I cut out the bits in here where Cristina is asking where Meredith is.]

Bailey: What've we got?
Ambulance Driver: Jane Doe, hypothermic, drowning.
Derek: It's not Jane Doe, it's Meredith Grey, it's Meredith.
Bailey: Meredith. Derek, Derek how long has she been down?
Derek: I don't know. She's alive, she's alive.
Bailey: Derek.
Derek: She's alive.
Bailey: Ok, I need you to help me get her inside. Clear a trauma bay, stat. Move it!
---
Burke: What is your problem?
Cristina: Everyone's back. Everyone's back, except her. And I listen to here every day about her mclove live, her mcdreamy, her mccrap, and the one day I have a thing she diappeaars.
Burke: Meredith, this is about Meredith.
Cristina: She doesn't know yet.
Burke: Meredith.
Cristina: She's my person.
Burke: Right. And if Meredith doesn't approve, then what?
Cristina: This is not about getting her approval. It's about-
Burke: What?
Cristina: Telling her makes it, makes it.. if I murdered someone, she's the person I would call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor.
Burke: Okay, see now you're likening someone here to a corpse. I'm done.
Cristina: She's my person.

Karev: I'd notice.
Addison: What?
Karev: If you went missing. I'd notice.
---
George: Can I see his face?
Callie: I'm in the middle of surgery.
George: I know. Is this boy your patient? I know the picture's half smeared and hard to see but - Please tell me it's him. Tell me he has been right ehre, under my nose, open on your table all day, and not drifting along the bottom of the ocean. Please tell me that.
Callie: Hold the photo under the light so I can get a better look. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's my kid. I could spot those goofy ears anywhere.
George: Really?
Callie: Really.
George: Callie O'Malley. I can't kiss you right now because you're scrubbed in, but tonight, when you get home, I am going to -
Callie: All right, people let's focus. George, I'm working here. I'm working, so, yeah, bye.
---
Burke: The Chief is working on her.
Derek: He threw me out.
Burke: What do you need?
Derek: I need you to go in there.
---
Addison: Come on, Meredith. Don't do this.
---
Cristina: It's Meredith?
Alex: Yeah.
Cristina: Are you sure, d id you see her, because it could be any..
Alex: It's Meredith.
Cristina: Oh. Oh. Oh.
Izzie: She will come through this.
George: You don't know that.
Izzie: She will come through this.
George: People die.
Izzie: I know people die. People die in front of us every day, but I believe Meredith will survive this. I believe - I believe in the good. I believe that it's been a hell of a year, and I believe that, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we will all be okay. I believe a lot of things. I believe that - I believe that Denny is always with me. And I believe that if I eat a tub of butter and noone sees me, the calories don't count. And I believe that surgeons who prefer staples over stitches are just lazy. (looks at George) I believe that you are a man who made a terrible mistake marrying Callie. And I believe that because I'm your best friend, I can tell you this, and we can be okay. I believe even though you made this mistake, you will be okay. .... I believe we survive, George. I believe that believing we survive, is what makes us survive.

Meredith: (coughs)
Dylan: Hi
Meredith: Hey. Am I... dead?
Denny: Damn right you are.
Meredith: Holy...
