The other side of this life (part 1)

Tell me you're excited. Tell me you can't wait to catch Kate Walsh in her new spin-off. Tell me you're already in love with her new show. Tell me that you think the new casts are simply awesome.

And I'll tell you - indeed!!

If you happened to catch yesterday's episode of Grey's Anatomy(also the pilot for the new show), and if you have not heard about it, Kate Walsh aka Dr. Addison Montgomery will be heading to Santa Monica, to seek a better and greener pastures, and to start anew. She'll be heading the cast of Private Practice, a spin-off from Grey's Anatomy, where the new show will focus more on a consortium of sexy, not-getting-younger medical careerists in Santa Monica. The cast list is impressive, with Paul Adelstein (of Prison Break), Tim Daly, Amy Brenneman (of Judging Amy), Audra Mcdonald, Chris Lowell and the ever-so-sexy Taye Diggs. Private Practice is only starting in the States end of this month, so I guess we still have a long wait until it reaches our shores. Well, at least it's something to look forward to.

Some quotes from this week's episode:

Meredith: [narrating] The dream is this - that we'll finally be happy when we reach our goals - find the guy, finish our internship, that's the dream. Then we get there. And if we're human, we immediately start dreaming of something else. Because, if this is the dream, then we'd like to wake up. Now, please!

Mark: Anybody seen Addison?
Richard: She's gone.
Mark: Gone?
Richard: She took a leave of absence.
Mark: Why? I mean, did she tell you why?
Derek: What'd you do to her, Mark?
Richard: She didn't give a reason.
Mark: Did she tell you where she was going?
Richard: All she said was she needed some time...to be happy and free if I recall correctly. Excuse me.

Izzie: I switched my hours at the clinic so I can go to the bridal shop. Yay!
Cristina: Did she cheer? She just cheered.
Izzie: Someone's not being very bridey.
Cristina: I am not a bride. I am a surgeon.
Meredith: Don't tease the caged animal.
Izzie: You're not excited? I'm excited. I love weddings. Weddings are all about hope and the future.

Sam: Ow.
Addison: Idiot. You divorced Naomi?
Sam: Look, just mind your own business, ok...ouch.
Addison: Moron. She is my best friend.
Sam: Stop hitting me on top of my head.
Addison: Did you cheat? Did...
Sam: Ok, two things I learned way back in kindergarten...one, keep your hands to yourself, two, he who smelt it dealt it.
Addison: That makes no sense.
Sam: Yeah. Well...you cheated. You cheated on your husband with his best friend. There. Smelt it, dealt
it...it works.
Addison: You're using fart logic.

Paul: I guess I'm just not very sexual.
Kathy: He's having an affair. He's not in love with me anymore.
Paul: That's not true, honey. I love you. I love you so much. I...I want to do it. I just want to want to do it.
Violet: Ok, Paul, I'm gonna give you some homework for next session.
Paul: Homework?
Violet: Have sex with your wife.
Kathy: Yay!
Paul: Well, but...
Violet: No matter what. Whether you're in the mood or not, have sex. Do it in the bed, do it on the kitchen floor. Do you have a pool?
Paul: Yes.
Violet: Okay, do it in the pool. Have sex. No pressure, no judgment, no expectations. Have sex. Just...do it.

Mark: What's in L.A.?
Derek: What?
Mark: For Addison. Any idea...what she might be doing there?
Derek: Naomi and Sam are down there, I guess. I don't know. You all right?
Mark: We were gonna try. We were gonna make a go of it... as a couple. She bet me I couldn't go 60 days without having sex.
Derek: Oh. Let me guess. You couldn't do it.
Mark: No, she couldn't. She didn't want to be with me. I thought she did. I thought she might. But she didn't. And I caught her. You know...
Derek: Sleeping with somebody else? Oh, that must have been so hard for you. Not that I can't relate.
Mark: So I told her I did it.
Derek: You told her you did it?
Mark: I told her I lost the bet. I told her I slept with someone. I figured if she didn't want to be with
me, she shouldn't have to feel guilty about it.
Derek: Selfless. That's...out of character.
Mark: Yeah. Anyway, uh... I was just wondering if you knew what was in L.A.
Derek: No.

Addison: I have the great guy. I don't have a baby because I'm focusing on my career. And then I have the other guy. I don't have his baby because he's not the great guy. And now I don't have the great guy or the other guy, and I'm finally ready to have a baby, and I can't. That is so... exactly what my life is. Exactly what my life is.
Naomi: I'm so sorry. I know how much you wanted this.
Addison: It's okay. I just, um... I just didn't realize I was out of time, that's all.

Coolasais,

That's how life works :p

Nachos,

You didn't get the DVD when you were in JB last week?

ardy said...

Spena,

What's a tag? ;)

Zewt,

Should be, since Burke and Addison won't be appearing in the 4th season. But by then, the interns will be residents, and they will have their own interns!

nachos said...

You seem to be a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy.... you blog made me start renting the DVDs from Season 1... and not I'm hooked to it! But all is good.... still, Ally McBeal is better :)

ardy said...

Vkin,

I love Ally too! Ally started superbly, but as the season went on, the show dwindles away. But Grey is the absolute opposite. Season 1 is not that great, but wait till you get to middle of season 2 and season 3. You'll be hooked!
