The other side of this life (part 2)


Some quotes from this week's episode:


Violet: What time do you have?
Naomi: 5 to 1:00.
Addison: You people are obsessed with time.
Violet: Here he comes.
(Dell walks by in only a pair of shorts with his surf board)
Naomi: Hi, Dell.
Violet: Have a nice... surf.
Dell: I'll see you guys after lunch?
Addison: You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
Naomi: Admit it. You feel better.
Violet: And if not, there's another showing in an hour, and it's wet.

Addison: So...you're the quack.
Pete: Uh, I went to med school. I'm also a licensed herbalist, and I spent five years in China learning alternative medicine.
Addison: Like I said... quack.
Pete: Come here. Unless you need to go tell someone you saw goody Johnson with the devil.
Addison: Okay.
Pete: Lie down on the table.
Addison: Why?
Pete: I wanna show you that I'm not a quack.
Addison: I'm not taking my clothes off.
Pete: Did I ask you to take your clothes off? Now...you carry a lot of tension in your shoulders and above your right eye.
Addison: What do you mean?
Pete: You're blocking some serious emotion. Hang on.
Addison: What...what are you doing?
Pete: Stop saying "ow." It doesn't hurt. Okay, I'm done.
Addison: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Where are you going? You can't leave me here like this.
Pete: Lie there. Don't move. Breathe. You're going to experience a rush of emotion, a release of...psychic pain.
Addison: Hello? Hello? I don't feel anything...except stupid for...letting a cute hippie boy put needles in my face. Hello! Yeah, Pete...I...this isn't working. I don't have any...psychic pain. I... I'm great. Barren, but...fan-freakin'-tastic. You can come back now. I am not feeling any, you know, rush of emotion or anything. I don't feel... anything. I don't feel anything at all. I don't feel anything at all. I hate L.A.

Meredith: How's the trailer?
Derek: It's freezing. You want to eat later? I'll bring something over.
Meredith: Are you using me for central heating?
Derek: Among other things.
Meredith: Okay.
Derek: All right.

Violet: You're not healthy. You're in denial.
Pete: I am not in denial.
Violet: You're in denial, and you're angry. You're the angriest man I know.
Pete: Is that why you won't sleep with me?
Violet: You're in denial, you're angry, and you use sex as weapon to deflect it.
Pete: Oh.

Cooper: I don't go to hookers. I don't go to strip clubs. I meet women on the internet that want to meet me.
So I like 'em a little younger and a little dirtier. Is that wrong? It's wrong?
Naomi: You need to meet a grown-up. You need to date someone your own age.
Violet: Someone without a porny internet name and...and perhaps no criminal past.
Naomi: A nice girl.
Violet: A viable girl.
Naomi: Someone with whom you can have a relationship.
Violet: You're a respected doctor.
Naomi: Go out in the real world, meet a woman your own age and ask her out.
Violet: Be a man, cooper. Be a man.

Addison: You're flirting.
Pete: What's wrong with flirting?
Addison: What's wrong with it? What's wrong? What's wrong is that I don't have time for it. I am... out of time. I missed my chance. And now I have two eggs left. I might as well have no eggs left. I am egg-less. Naomi says that she's dried up? I'm the one who's dried up. I'm all barren and dried up. And I have clearly been wasting my time on men. I mean, I might as well take up hobbies, like needlepoint or, um, collecting those little ceramic dolls, you know? Because that's what dried up women do. They do needlepoint. They do not waste their time flirting with men who clearly just want to get laid. They do not waste their time...telling overly personal...information about their eggs to total strangers. Oh, my god. I'm sorry. What are you doing?
Pete: I'm gonna kiss you. I'm gonna kiss you with tongue. I'm gonna kiss you so you feel it. Okay?
Addison: Okay. (They kiss) Why'd you do that?
Pete: To remind you...that you're not dried up. If you need me to remind you again...let me know.
Addison: Okay.

Alex: A lot of folks would kill for what you have, you know? A clean slate. So you don't remember? So what?
You'll make new memories. Oh, wow. Look at that. It's so beautiful.
Jane Doe: How can you be so...You're so good with me. What's wrong with you that you can't be this good with someone you have feelings for? What happened to you, Alex?
Alex: Maybe I don't remember. So what?

Addison: This is gonna sound...when no one else is around, the elevator kind of, uh...Talks to me.
Pete: Hi, Tilly.
Tilly: Hey, Pete.
Pete: That's Tilly. She works security. The camera is right there.
Addison: Oh. Hello, Tilly.
Tilly: Hey, I get my kicks wherever I can.
Pete: You goin' home?
Addison: Yeah...Home.
Pete: You get what you came for?
Addison: I honestly...don't know.
Pete: Do you want me to kiss you again?
Addison: I think...not.
Pete: Because of the elevators where you come from? Those horny, aphrodisiac elevators?
Addison: Yeah, that, and, um...I'm not interested, so...
Pete: Oh. You're interested.

Meredith: [narrating] At some point, maybe we accept that the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves the reality is better. We convince ourselves it's better that we never dream at all. But the strongest of us, the most determined of us, we hold on to the dream. Or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We awake to find ourselves...Against all odds...Feeling hopeful. And if we're lucky, we realize...In the face of everything, in the face of life...The true dream...Is being able to dream at all.

Cosmic_gurl,

I agree! Meredith's demons are getting the better of her. But it's great to see Addison finally plucked enough courage to do Karev!
