    “oh, bite me, andrews. you’re always talking like you’re the big hot shot of this hospital. news flash: you’re not. now screw off and leave me alone. i have to get to surgery.”

“ trust me, karev. i wouldn’t bite you even if i was a vampire. i bet you taste horrible since all you eat is chips and pizza. besides, all that pathetic hostility and jerkness would really leave a bad taste in my mouth. seriously, you whine way too much. boo hoo, poor karev had a bad childhood. boo hoo, poor karev was dumped by his wife. boo hoo, poor karev got shot. well, whoopty doo. big deal. get over yourself. we all got demons yet we don’t all act like bratty children. oh, and i saw you were scrubbing in on an ortho case and yeah, no, that’s not happening. i'm not letting you anywhere near ortho patients as long as you still have that bullet inside you. because that means you're still all traumatized or whatever. ”

     “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were double board certified in orthopedic surgery and obstetrics. The only person who should be advising your patient on her pregnancy is an obstetrician. Which I am. So, I will evaluate her and I will give her–and you–my recommendation. 

—-and for your information, I don’t just go around delivering premature babies because I feel like it. I do it when it’s necessary, and a major surgery at 27 weeks gestation might just make it that way.”

“ fine. have it your way then, montgomery. just don’t talk to them without me in the room. they like me. and i like them.  ——  and they’ve been through more than enough already so if there’s a way, find it. please. throw your personal opinion of me out of the window and just do your best to help them. i’ll do my part and get her walking again, that’s a promise. just make sure you do your part and give those babies a chance to fight. they're tough. ”

“ Oh, but what if I do make you my mission? Will I end up being highly disappointed because there’s nothing behind that big mouth of yours ??  Or does your cockiness cover some certain ..discontentations ??  Might be we never know, because no man’s my mission as long as I haven’t started my career. Oh, and secondly ??  You could be one of my bosses, so I’m not going to make that mistake before being sure about everything. Even though I haven’t played a good match of darts in forever.  –  Well then, what is home to you?  “

“ trust me, i’m a mystery wrapped in a riddle locked behind a facade of asshole. if you dig a little deeper, you’ll be anything but disappointed. everything that comes out of this mouth, can be packed up. that’s a promise. and i never break my promises. and my cockiness, it’s not covering anything. it’s born purely out of the sheer fact that i’m amazing and possibly more than human. but i get it. you’re an intern. you’re all about work right now. that’s how it goes. so, here’s another offer. don’t get to know me. don’t make me your mission. just let me be of service to you. intern year is rough. you get put under a lot of pressure and sometimes, there’s only one good way to truly relieve yourself of that pressure. and that’s where i come in. who cares if i’m your boss or not, it’s just some harmless fun. besides, nobody has to know. it’ll be our little secret.  ——  and if you really must know, home is the bronx. ”

     “With all due respect, I don’t think your concern about them ‘cooking’ is going to influence my decision. Give me the chart and I’ll be in to evaluate her when I’m done here.”

“ with all due respect, it’s my patient. my patients. so, i’d very much like it if we could go through this together instead of you just evaluating and coming to me with a decision. ”

“ Full of surprises. My, my, doesn’t that sound just very interesting ??  Oh, come on now !!  Mundane ?!  Coming from someone living in Seattle, The Rain City, that’s just plainly hypocritical. “

“ full of amazing surprises, i might add. surprises that could definitely rock your world. trust me, it is interesting. i’m interesting. very interesting. and i totally think you should make it your personal mission to find out everything you possibly can about me. maybe over a few drinks and a game of darts. and hey, i may live in seattle right now but this isn’t home. ”

“ that’s cute – and maybe it works on the rest of us lowly interns and residents, but you don’t scare me – you are one attending and if you think i’m going to respect  you just because you’re threaten me you’re gonna be disappointed. I grew up in the roughest part of Boston you’re gonna have to try harder than threats of scut for the next month —” 

   “ hell? seriously?? did you like forget what happened two weeks ago? — i watched my friend bleed out on the trauma floor, i’m already living in hell – we all are.” 

“ you think i’m cute ?? aw, thank you. i’ve often thought so myself. and you know, this whole ‘i don’t respect you, i’m a tough guy’ thing you’re doing right now, it’s adorable but it’s also not helping you at all. i may be just one attending but i’m a smooth talker and could easily convince the nurses to start a few rumors that might just throw a little wrench in your future plans, whatever they might be. plus, i got a lot of friends in different places. friends that can make a difference. but hey, if you want to be on my bad side, go ahead. i’m not gonna stop you. you’re actually being highly entertaining right now and i’m very much enjoying this. so, please. do continue. and honestly, if you think it’s going to impress me that you grew up in the roughest part of boston .... kid, you’re barking up the wrong tree. i grew up in a bad neighborhood too. whoopty doo. ——  and no, i haven’t forgotten. i'll never forget, trust me. i’ve just decided to not be a sad little downer like everyone else around here. ”

“no, just going for a stroll. steer your pretty blue eyes back to your patient’s, why don’t you?”

“ a little stroll through the ortho floor, huh ?? how very healthy of you. maybe some day, if you work hard enough, you’ll even have the same beautiful physique as i do instead of that god awful beer belly. and no, thanks. i think i’d rather keep my pretty blue eyes focused on you while you’re strolling through here. you’re a dodgy guy, karev. who knows what you might do unsupervised. i got my patients' safety and well-being to think about, y'know. ”

 “ i don’t know where you went to med school but fetus’s are a little smaller —”

       “ but i get that a lot, perks of youthful beauty, but i’m actually  twenty six — and an intern, figured you’d be familiar with the terminology considering that badge of yours claims your an attending —” 

“ really ?? how fascinating.  ——  jesus. is this seriously your idea of talking back, being witty, being sarcastic ?? because you’re just stating facts, as if you didn't know that i was not being literal. it’s really annoying. and yes, i am an attending, which means that  i can make your life a living hell, so if i were you, i’d be extra nice to me right now, fetus intern. ”

Charlie chuckled. “Yeah, that’s me.” He shrugged. “Well our first meet? Charlie is fine. You’re Jack right? Dr Andrews? I haven’t met Dr Torres yet. How long have you worked here?”

“ the one and only, at your service. and, please, just call me jack. the whole “dr” thing makes us sound like pretentious idiots. i’ve been here for a few months now. arrived just in time to get shot at, which was fun. and oh, so torres is a no show for now ?? well, i’m sure you’ll like her. she’s very ... let's say muy bueno. she knows what she's doing. ”

      “ so what? — the security camera’s and rent-a-cop guards are suppose to make us feel safer? –  i feel like i’m starting on the some jerk ass reality tv show the amount of camera’s they set up — but yeah sure, that’s gonna stop some nut job shooting up the place, right? ” 

“ aren’t you a little too young to be an intern or whatever the hell you’re supposed to be ?? seriously, you look like a fetus. you're right though. this whole charade is ridiculous. ”

“ I – I didn’t say it’s inappropriate …  —  although it is !!  Inappropriate, and cocky, and – and not okay !!  And you know I remember – I remember everything, which is pretty much a problem. There’s not a second that I could erase from my mind, so there’s – there’s blood and death and screams everywhere. Like, like that one intern was shot right over there and I – It’s cleaned and there’s a stupid plant and everything looks neat and pretty but all I can see is her corpse !!  So don’t tell me to chill out, Jack, because I’m trying – but I can’t !!  “

“ okay, you know what your problem is ?? the yelling. i think that’s the main reason people look at you like you’ve lost your mind. you need to tone it down, especially here at work. all this stuff you’re going through, just keep it in. don’t let it out. and drink as much as you can. that’s what helps me get through. for once, try letting go. don’t be you. be someone else, someone who doesn’t remember all that death and blood and horror. someone who isn’t all traumatized. or sleep. a lot. that’s your other option. but since you said you can’t ... well, i guess suppressing your emotions is your only choice. or you could always talk to that shrink. though, in my opinion therapy is bullshit. but y’know, whatever.  you do you. ”

“I’ve been here less than    a month!    It’s been very eventful.”

“ well, eventful is certainly one way to put it.  ——  you’re charlie, right ?? the new ortho fellow ?? or should i be all professional and boring and call you dr. rowe ?? ”

“As successful as I’m sure you are,” it took all she had to suppress the mother of all eye rolls. “I can assure you Dr. Andrews that I’m capable of funding my own drinks, and surprisingly enough I’d rather not sit through a few hours of this just to take the sting off the day. I mean God, ‘sweetheart’?! Does that actually work on anyone over the age of twenty-five?”

“ it’s simply just a pet name, darling. no need to get defensive. i use them on everyone, even the women i have no desire to take home. this, what i’m doing now, this is far from flirting for me. this is like kindergarten stuff. i only bring out my a game when i feel a connection. but actually, now that you mention it, ‘sweetheart’ does work on a surprising amount of people. even women over twenty-five, trust me. or maybe it’s just me. the hair, the body, the eyes, the dashing smile. i mean, come on. what’s not to like ?? i’m like candy. human candy. and you can’t blame those women for taking me out for a spin. i’m very good at what i do. but you buying your own drinks, that’s completely fine with me. more power to you. ”

“no. no i really don’t see that happening. because you seem to have zero respect for women, no matter how much you deny that being true. because actions speak louder than words. wait - no. it’s your words that convince me you have no respect. or the fact you don’t know how to listen when i am telling you that i have absolutely, positively no interest in ever getting into bed with you. and yet here you are, still trying to tell me that eventually i’m gonna fall in love with you. and then i’m gonna want to have sex with you. and it’s just - no. it’s not gonna happen.”

“ you really can’t take a joke, can you ?? it’s like this whole hospital has been infected by some bug that sucks out everyone’s sense of humor. and just so you know, you’re wrong. i do respect women. and actually, in my case, actions definitely speak louder than words.  —— seriously, relax already. i can take no for an answer. i’m neither petty nor desperate since there are plenty of other fish in the sea. so, drop the hostile attitude. unlike your dim-witted brother, i can take a hint. i know when i'm not wanted around for company. ”

“that’s not what i – you know what, nevermind? i’m supposed to be optimistic, today, and i’m not going to let you ruin that for me. you’re right, i can’t. but don’t expect this to last. because i can only do optimism for so long before i revert back to my old ways. that’s exactly right. i will kick your ass. and i will win, furthermore. you fixed billy up? completely? no post-op complications, nothing? because that’s enough to make me actually be happy, instead of just pretending.” 

“ hey, i’m not here to ruin your optimism. i can be optimistic too. just look at my dashing smile. see how optimistic it is ?? so, no need to kick my ass, dr. bailey. especially when instead you should be thanking me for fixing billy. completely and without any post-op complications. everything went perfectly, smoothly and he’ll be walking by the end of the month, trust me. that guy is like made of steel or something. there’s nothing he can’t do. he’s good, you’re good, the world’s good, everything’s good. alright ?? so, be happy. smile. laugh. even do a little celebratory dance. i won’t judge. you've definitely earned it. ”

                  Meredith REALLY didn’t like this tool. Her lips pursed together in a tight line as she kept her eyes connected with his. ‘ — – - That NURSE over there is Nurse Carol, she’s been here for a long time. Almost dating back to when my mother was a surgeon. The man with the awful tie is the spouse to Dr. Bailey’s patient…the patient that was here when a man shot up the place. ‘ She paused as she felt her lip twitch in anger. How dare he ask her that ?? She clenched her jaw hard, she was sure she might break a tooth. However, it was taking every ounce of her strength to remain somewhat calm and not go hostile on this asshole. ‘ I’m going to pretend you didn’t ask me that. I’m going to give you one last chance to get the HELL out of my face !! ‘ In the last seconds she lost it as people stopped around then, checking out the scene.

“ well aren’t you hostile today. i bet you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. or it’s the fact that you haven’t gotten laid in a while since your hubby is still lying in a hospital bed. and no shit, a man shot up the place ?? really ?? how interesting. if only i’d been here just like the rest of you, but oh wait, i totally was. i was here, busy protecting my floor. clearly i touched a nerve with this whole pregnancy thing though. ouch. i’d apologize if you weren’t currently being very rude, shouting at me in front of everyone and making a spectacle out of yourself. seriously, jeez. chill out, have a drink, get laid. do something. because this whole angry chick thing is getting old real fast. besides, what you really should be focusing on instead of me is your sister. have you seen her lately ?? she’s losing her marbles and it’s not pretty. so, maybe get your shit together and help her before she needs to be checked into psych. ”
