纸间年华

Still in Gray’s Anatomy S1 Ep1 

George & Meredith sitting on a window ledge of the hospital outside. They both look pensive. MEREDITH: I wish I wanted to be a chef. Or a ski instructor. Or a kindergarten teacher.  

GEORGE: You know I would have been a really good postal worker. I am dependable. You know my parents tell everyone they meet that their son is a surgeon. As if it is a big accomplishment. Superhero or something. If they could see me now.

MEREDITH: When I told my mother that I wanted to go to medical school, she tried to talk me out of it. Said I didn’t have what it takes to be a surgeon. That I can never make it. So the way I see it, superhero sounds pretty damn good.

GEORGE: We are going to survive this, right? Meredith just smiles.

I can’t  think of any one reason on why I want to be a surgeon. But I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit.

They make it hard on purpose.

There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it is more than just a game. And you either take that step forward. Or turn around and walk away. I could quit. But here is the thing. I love the playing field.
