Scene switches to Burke talking to Webber
Preston: So, Dr.Webber , what do you want to talk to me about?
Dr.Webber: Preston, I want to tell you I'm so proud of you, I know it might seem unprofessional, being that I am, I mean I was the Chief Resident.
Preston: Thank-you Richard.
Preston: Richard, can I ask you a question?
Dr.Webber: yes.
Preston: Why did you retire?
Dr.Webber: I want to live, Preston, I mean my whole life I spent saving lives, the only thing I couldn't save was my family. I want you to know that being a Doctor, should always be a priority, that if you aren't a doctor one day, you will still be Preston Burke, that your job does not define who you are. Because you are a great person.
Preston: Thank you for telling me that sir. I'm just not sure Christina, well see me as not a Doctor, not that I'm quiting, I just want to know that she will still be with me , if I weren't.
Scene switches to Derek and Webber:
Derek: So, Webber I heard you retire, I'm sorry.
Webber: Your have nothing to be sorry about , you should be sorry for Meredith and Addison, yes I said Addison.
Derek: Sir what do you mean.
Webber: When I was your age, I met a woman, who I ended up having an affair with, and I know you know about this, but what I didn't tell you, was I regretted everyday, not leaving my wife, for Ellis. I mean my wife deserved so much more, I couldn't leave her though, because it was wrong, I would be a disgrace to everyone and that is true. That is why I didn't leave. And I will say this what I did was wrong, but for once in my life I was in love, and I know I'm not a good man, and I don't want you to say anything,.Although, I should have let my wife leave and live her life, not stick around for a guy, who cares about no one, but his career. I made a mistake Derek, and so do you, we make mistakes, that what makes us human.
Derek: I love Meredith, so much, and I can't deal with the fact, that I chose to my pride over her, I didn't want to look like a bad man, I wanted to make my marriage work. But you can't if the two people are in love with someone else. Yes, I loved Addison, and I always will. But we can't be together anymore all the years we spent together, drove us apart, But with Meredith it seems like everyday is new thing, I never loved anyone like I love her. I can't believe I didn't kiss her after she told me she broke up with Fin. I just said ok. I don't know what to do, but I know I'm going to keep hurting her.
Webber: Derek, you reacted in a way that was a way any man would act, finding out they spent a year trying to bring back a relationship that was never going to work, and you made Meredith hurt. But Derek, you have to know that your alive, your not dying anytime soon, you need to go to Meredith and tell her, tell her she's the one who makes you feel complete. You will not hurt her, I know that because you loved her enough to let her go, Now you need to get her back.
