Helen
Mr & Mrs Shepherd
Therapist: ''So why are you here, Mr and Mrs Shepherd?''
Derek: ''It's „Doctor" Shepherd actually. We're doctors. Saving lives ... and stuff, you know.''
Meredith (rolling eyes): ''It doesn't matter, Derek. Let's be just Mr and Mrs Shepherd for once in our lives, okay?!''
Derek (raising his eyebrows): ''Well, it does matter to me. I'm a doctor and that's a fact. It's like my middle name. If being a doctor is only a hobby to you ... not my problem. But I'm a doctor.''
Meredith (raising her voice slightly): ''A hobby? You think I went through the whole shit because being a doctor is a hobby to me?!''
Derek (inhaling deeply): ''See, that's what I told you.''
Meredith (looking dumbfounded): ''That's what ... what?! That doesn't make any sense, Derek. To be exact, I can't remember you saying anything logical ever''
Derek (shaking his head): ''Wait, wait, ... wait. You think you have the right to talk about being logical?!''
Meredith: ''Yes, I do!''
Derek: ''So drowning on purpose is logical? Twice?''
Therapist (raising his eyebrows): ''You drowned, Mrs Shepherd?''
Derek: ''On purpose. Twice.''
Meredith: ''No, no, that ... was a ... difficult phase for me. That doesn't count.''
Derek: ''Hmm ... I think I'll be having a difficult phase on Monday too. But that's okay, I'll just drown myself.''
Meredith: ''So funny, Derek, really. Very non-funny kind of funny but yes, ... very funny.''
Derek: ''Of course I'm funny. Being a doctor isn't easy, you know. A little humor is definitely necessary then.''
Meredith (glaring): ''I know that being a doctor isn't easy. If I'd wanted easy I would've become a vet.''
Derek (clenching his teeth): ''Yeah ... a vet. I don't like vets. They're idiots. All of them.''
Meredith (under her breath): ''Well, what a surprise ...''
Therapist: ''Why don't you like vets, Mr ...-Dr Shepherd? Is there any personal meaning behind that?''
Meredith: ''No.''
Derek (at the same time): ''Yes.''
