    2.01 Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
    Burke: So, I have a question to ask. I checked the schedule and I noticed that both you and I are off tonight. I made reservations. I have a favorite restaurant.
    Cristina: None of those were questions.
    Burke: Would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight?

    Cristina: Hey.
    (Burke walks past her)
    Cristina: What, you’re not talking now that you’re Chief? Burke?
    Burke: What do you want?
    Cristina: What?
    Burke: What do you want? You don’t want to go out with me, you don’t want to meet me in the on-call room, and you sure as HELL don’t want to talk to me. I can pretend I know, but hey, I don't even have your home phone number. So tell me, what do you want?
    Cristina: Don’t yell at me.
    (Burke starts to walk away)
    Cristina: We’re having a conversation here!
    (Burke turns back and walks toward her)
    Burke: Well, what do you want?
    Cristina: I don’t know!
    (Burke kisses her passionately)
    Burke: Figure it out.

    2.02 Enough Is Enough (No More Tears)
    Burke: Would you care to explain?
    Cristina: Seibert is a wife beater. Her films show years of abuse.
    Burke: I didn’t know that but still...
    Cristina: Multiple fractures. She has a kidney bleed from a beating she took last week. Plus it was, it was his road rage that caused the accident. The guy in the other car died!
    Burke: And that means what? No heroic measures? Leave him on the table?
    Cristina: Well if it were up to me...
    Burke: Think like a surgeon, Dr. Yang! We have a dying patient and a liver that could save him.
    Cristina: Well this is more complicated than that.
    Burke: No. For social workers, yes! For the family. Not for you. It isn’t up to you!
    Cristina: Yeah, you made that perfectly clear.
    Burke: Well I’m glad we have an understanding.
    Cristina: I’m sure you are.

    Cristina: You know she’s just gonna go back to him.
    Burke: I don’t know that. It’s not my –
    Cristina: It’s not our call.
    Burke: Cristina. I was wondering . . . I mean, I was hoping that . . . we can . . . I know we didn’t . . .
    Cristina: You’re asking me?
    Burke: Are you OK?
    Cristina: Can I scrub in?
    Burke: (nods)
    Cristina: Then yes Dr. Burke, I’m OK.

    2.04 Deny Deny Deny
    *(Cristina is making notes in her chart as she’s laying in the hospital bed. Burke walks by and in a little, checks to make sure the room is otherwise empty, and walks in the rest of the way. He takes the chart from Cristina. Cristina looks up and sighs)
    Cristina: “It’s my chart.”
    Burke: “You’re the patient. Not the doctor. Act like one.”
    (He starts looking through her chart.)
    Burke: “It’s been tough finding you alone.”
    Cristina: “Yeah well...”
    Burke: “How are you doing?”
    Cristina: “Well you have my chart, you tell me.”
    Burke: (more forcefully) “How’re you doing?”
    Cristina: “I’m fine. Perfectly okay.”
    Burke: “I had a right to know.”
    Cristina: “Well now you do.”
    Burke: “Cristina—”
    (she cuts him off)
    Cristina: “Look now you know. It’s over. There’s nothing for you to deal with. So I don’t know what else there really is left to say.”
    Burke: “Plenty. For starters you could have come to me--”
    (she interrupts again)
    Cristina: “Oh look its my mother.”
    (Burke turns quickly to see Helen Rubenstein, Cristina’s mom, who has just come out of Cristina’s bathroom. She walks up to Burke)
    Burke: “Dr. Preston Burke. It’s nice to meet you Mrs. Yang.”

    *Cristina: “I mean she obviously loves the patient role. She practically lives in hospitals. And...and, and we’re like an imaginary family to her because her real family blows her off to go take care of other people. And, and I saw her take something.”
    Burke: “It’s not enough. We have to rule out everything else. Everything physical.”
    Cristina: “She even lied about her job. She’s a pharmacy tech. Not a PhD.
    Burke: “So she’s a liar. I’ve been lied to before.”
    Cristina: “Hey we’re not talking about us here.”
    Burke: “Maybe we should be.”
    Cristina: “I didn’t lie.”
    Burke: (angry) “You withheld the truth. How was I--”
    Cristina: (interrupting) “Okay, you know what? I distinctively remember YOU breaking things off with ME. And you didn’t seem so upset about it. And this-” (indicates herself and him) “This is, this is not a relationship. This is not real-”
    Burke: (interrupts) “Cristina!”
    Cristina: (starts walking out of the room) “Okay, and, and, so what’s the big display of fake hurt and drama?”
    (opens the door to go)
    Burke: “Cristina!”
    Cristina: “I’m supposed to be in bed.”
    (Cristina leaves)
    Burke: (frustrated) “Cristina!”

    2.05 Bring In The Pain
    Cristina: So thanks for, you know, being there.
    Burke: No thanks needed
    Cristina: OK
    Burke: So where are we?
    Cristina: The northeast corner of a hospital. Oh, I’m getting back on my feet.
    Burke: Fine
    Cristina: That doesn’t mean that –
    Burke: Cristina
    Cristina: It’s my first day back
    Burke: I’m not waiting forever.

    Cristina: So here’s where we are. I work too much. I’m competitive. I’m always right. And I snore.
    Burke: What?
    Cristina: I’m trying here.
    Burke: Ohhhhh. Oh. … Oh! Oh.
    Cristina: Yeah. (she smiles)
    Burke: So?
    Cristina: Okay. We’re a couple. Whatever. Don’t make a big deal about it.

    2.06 Into You Like A Train
    Cristina: (in hallway of SGH, on telephone to unknown person) “I realize that you’re dealing with a lot of carnage. I’m, I’m asking if you could maybe … sift through some that carnage and find it …”
    (a ‘click’ noise and then a dial tone)
    Cristina: “Hello?”
    (she hangs up the phone looking pissed)
    Cristina: “Damn it.”
    (Burke walks up to her)
    Burke: “Cristina. You paged me?”
    Cristina: (seems upset) “If I don’t find this leg the chief is gonna cut me from this program. And I cannot go back home, Burke. It is TOO sunny in Los Angeles. It’s sunny everyday!”
    Burke: “And you paged me because...?”
    Cristina: (loud, kind of surprised at his ignorance) “I need you to help me find the leg!”
    Cristina: (more calmly) “ . . . I checked the board. You’re not in surgery right?”
    (Burke looks confused)
    Cristina:“You’re my boyfriend. I mean I know I don’t have much experience with this kind of thing but-” (Burke tries to hide slight amusement) “Aren’t boyfriends supposed to help in situations like this?”
    Burke: (very seriously, looks a little sad) “Cristina, when we’re on duty I can’t be your boyfriend.”
    Cristina: “Okay, so, ah, when we’re on duty I can have sex with someone else?”
    Burke: (looks like he’d like to pretend he’d never heard that) “Dr. Yang, I am walking away now.”

    2.07 Something To Talk About
    Cristina : Bailey knows
    Burke : Knows what?
    Cristina : She knows...
    Burke : Well O'Malley knows, why not Bailey
    Cristina : So you didn't tell her
    Burke : Why would i do that?
    Cristina : This is bad.
    Burke : We have to manage the damage ourselves before this thing spins to far out of control. And that means coming clean to the chief.
    Cristina : What?
    Burke : If we come out into the open, then no one has anything to say.
    Cristina : No, no, no way. No way.
    Burke : That’s the only way.
    Cristina : No.

    Burke : Dr. Yang. We never finished our conversation.
    Cristina : Yes we did. We decided we’re not gonna tell you know who about us.
    Burke : We decided? If you’re worried about your career, your reputation, they’re in much more danger if he hears about us through the grapevine.
    Cristina : He doesn’t have to hear about us at all.
    Burke : Only he will. It’s just a matter of time. Unless you’re hesitating because of some, some different reason.
    Cristina : You are not thinking this through.
    Burke : Like not wanting to admit to this relationship at all.
    Cristina : We are a couple.
    Burke : Fine.
    Cristina : Burke.
    Burke : I said fine.

    Cristina : Hey that was intense, are you okay?
    Burke : I’m fine. O’Malley lets go.
    Cristina : I’m so over this.

    Cristina : I am worried about my career. I’m worried about my reputation. I’m …
    Cristina : I will not be Meredith Grey. I busted my ass to get here and people won’t make allowances for me …
    Burke : This is not about making allowances and you know that.
    Cristina : Everyone will know.
    Burke : That’s the point.
    Cristina : I don’t want to tell the Chief, okay? I just … don’t.

    2.08 Let It Be
    Cristina: Hey.
    Burke: Thank you. It’s date night.
    Cristina: Yeah it’s a night uh with a date.
    Burke: You forgot.
    Cristina: No. (he looks at her) Yesss.
    Burke: You wanna cancel?
    Cristina (trying not to smile): No.

    Burke: You look lovely.
    Cristina: Thanks.
    (She quickens her pace a little and goes to open the door for herself but Burke reaches for the door simultaneously)
    Cristina: Oh. Very polite.

    Cristina: Uh where’s the butter? (Burke picks up a bottle of olive oil and holds it out to her) Oh no that’s olive oil. I want butter.
    Waiter: Should I send the sommelier over?
    Burke: Oh no that won’t be necessary. What is a nice oaky chardonnay?
    Cristina: Oh I want Bordeaux.
    Burke: Chardonnay will be better with the lobster.
    Cristina: I’m having steak.
    Burke (a little shocked): You eat red meat.
    Cristina (equally shocked): You don’t?

    Cristina: What?
    Burke: Ah, nothing.
    Cristina: Maybe we should probably skip dessert I have, I have an early morning.
    Burke: Oh, right. Not a problem.
    Talia: Oh my god, help is there a doctor in here?
    Cristina: Call 911.
    Talia: He couldn’t be having heartburn. I thought he was choking.
    Burke: Pulse?
    Cristina: Yes it’s rapid and unequal.
    Burke: Look at this. The length of his fingers.
    Cristina: He’s gotta be at least 6 foot 4.
    Burke & Cristina: Marfan's.
    Talia: What do his fingers have to do with it?
    Cristina: Your husband is showing classic markers for Marfan's syndrome.
    Burke: It means the walls of his blood vessels are weak.
    Cristina: Uh we need an ambulance.
    Burke: Fast. He could be dissected here and then get him to the O.R.
    Cristina: What if aorta ruptures?
    Talia: What are you talking about? Who are you people?

    Cristina: We have a dissected thoracic aorta. We need a CT cleared and an O.R ready.
    Paramedic: Who the hell are you?
    Cristina: Hey! He’s the cardiothoracic surgeon who’s gonna operate on him.
    Burke :And she’s with me.
    Burke: Did you see that Echo from here?
    Cristina: The dissection isn’t subtle.
    Burke: Did you see that wingspan? And the pectoris carnia?
    Cristina: What about his palate?
    Burke: The definition of high arched

    Burke: Dr. Yang. … You’re handling the saw.
    Cristina: Thank you Dr. Burke. (she whispers to him) You won’t let me pick the wine but this you’ll let me do?

    Burke: Well it took 3 hours but the surgery went perfectly. (Cristina nods smiling) All we have to do is wait now and see how he’s doing when he wakes up.
    Talia: Why did this happen?
    Burke: Almost every patient with Marfan's has an aorta that fails. It’s just a matter of when.
    Talia: I guess it was lucky you two were having dinner at the next table.
    Burke: It was. Take care.

    Burke: I guess we never really got our date.
    Cristina: Are you kidding? That was the best date I’ve ever been on.

    2.09 Thanks For The Memories
    Cristina: Don’t mention Shephard. Or Montgomery-Shephard.
    Burke: Okay.
    Cristina: Or the fact that Shephard is with Montgomery-Shephard.
    Burke: Okay.
    Cristina: Or anything ever to do with syphilis.
    Burke (chuckles and rings the doorbell again): I’ve been in social situations before.
    Cristina: Yeah well not with me.
    Burke: Well why are we here?
    Cristina: Just be nice or something.
    Izzie (agitated): It’s half past 10! You’re late! I’ve had to try to do all …
    Izzie: Oh hi Dr. Burke. Hello. (He gives her a half-wave) Oh.
    Cristina (whispers to Izzie): What was I supposed to do? Blow off my boyfriend for Thanksgiving?I tried to. He wouldn’t blow. He’s like something sticky that won’t blow off.
    Izzie (whispers back): Okay, he’s gonna ruin Thanksgiving. Now what am I supposed to talk to Dr. Burke about?
    Burke (speaks up loudly and walks up to them): People who are shocked when I show up uninvited to their homes call me Preston.
    Cristina: Nobody calls you Preston.
    Burke: You don’t call me Preston. (to Izzie) Nice house.
    Izzie: Yeah.

    Burke: What is that?
    Izzie: It was supposed to be my marinade. (speaks into the phone) Alex it’s me again. Just wondering where you’re at.
    Burke: You’ve never made a Thanksgiving dinner before.
    Cristina:You can’t cook! Izzie!
    Izzie: Well I’m a baker! I bake. But I’ve seen my grandmother cook a million times.
    Cristina: Okay that’s it. If there’s no food I’m going home.
    Burke: Cristina, Cristina, I have this. (to Izzie) What are you using as a reference text?
    Izzie:‘The joy of cooking’. I also printed up some recipes from the internet but they all seem to contradict one another. And I can’t seem to figure which side of the turkey is up and which is the bottom.
    Burke: Okay. Okay. Um. I’m gonna need the basing brush, a bowl, uh a clove of garlic and ah do you have any fennel?
    Izzie: Uh yeah right here.
    Burke: Ah okay, well let’s get this turkey up and running Stevens. Garlic.
    Izzie (she slaps the garlic into his hand): Garlic.
    Cristina (to herself): I’m gonna need liquor. Lots and lots of liquor.


    2.10 Much Too Much
    Cristina: What the hell is this?
    Burke: It’s a key.
    Cristina: Why?
    Burke: Why is it a key? Are we feeling existential this morning?
    Cristina: Well if a key turns in a lock and no one asked for the key or even wanted the key does it make a sound?
    Meredith: Hey.
    Cristina: Hi.
    Burke: I’m gonna take this opportunity to be someplace else.

    Burke: It’s a key.
    Cristina: Just a key?
    Burke: Just a key.
    Cristina: Well good. Good. Good.
    Burke: Or, you can start thinking about moving in with me.

    Cristina: What makes you … What makes you think we can live together? You don’t know anything about me.
    Burke: I know you prefer an 11 blade for your LNDs. I know you prefer to say pickups instead of forceps. I know you like your coffee from the cart by the front entrance better than the coffee in the cafeteria. I know you.
    Cristina: Those are little things. Just details.
    Burke: I know you. …. You don’t wanna move but I can’t always be the one that takes the step. Any more steps and I’m walking away.

    Cristina: I used the key.
    Burke: That’s a step.
    Cristina: So you really wanna know me?
    Burke: There’s nothing that you can reveal about yourself that I wouldn’t want to know.

    2.11 Owner Of A Lonely Heart
    Burke: I made breakfast.
    Cristina: I don’t, I don’t have time for breakfast. I gotta a round before everyone else does if I want to get the good cases, you know that.
    Burke: Right. Well, coffee?

    Cristina:: She just went down.
    Burke (to another nurse): Prep O.R 2 for an emergency thoarocotomy.
    Burke: Cristina, she’ll be okay. Come on, Come on, come on.

    2.12 Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
    Burke: I … thought you might like to help me decorate it tonight. Mark our first Christmas together.
    Cristina: I’m Jewish.
    Burke: Seriously?
    Cristina: My Step-father. Saul Rubenstein.
    Burke: Oh right. Right.

    Burke: So when does Hanukkah fall this year?
    Cristina: Uh, no idea.
    Burke: Oh. Well are there any more traditions you want me to be aware of …
    Cristina: Oh no Burke seriously, I haven’t observed religious holidays since I was old enough to know better.

    Burke: Look at that. Beautiful fit. Now all we have to do is to figure out why he is so angry.
    Cristina: If I had that mother I’d be angry too. (A nurse passes a surgical tool to Burke) Actually I do have that mother.
    Burke: His mother is not the problem here. She loves him, she never leaves.
    Cristina: She also never listens. She doesn’t know him.
    Burke: Justin’s depressed. You heard him. He doesn’t want to live. I just hope he changes his mind before it’s too late.
    Cristina: Uh what do you mean too late?
    Burke: With all medical realities being equal, why does one patient live and another dies? I believe there’s a mind-body-spirit connection. And if Justin really doesn’t want this heart, his body will reject it.
    Cristina: Okay, let me get this straight. You don’t just celebrate Christmas, you actually believe in Santa Claus?
    Burke: Dr. Yang, go and schedule a psychiatric consult for our patient.
    Cristina: We’re, we’re not done here.
    Burke: You are.

    Cristina: You paged me?
    Burke: I didn’t see a psych consult scheduled here.
    Cristina: Ah I couldn’t get one. I tried to but they told me to come back in January.
    Burke: You disrespected me. You mocked me in my O.R. That can’t happen.
    Cristina: I wa … It won’t happen again.
    Burke: You equated my spirituality with a belief in Santa Claus.
    Cristina: Burke, science is the one thing. You know it’s the one thing we have in common. I’m an intern and you’re not. I’m a slob and you’re not. I say I want to keep our relationship private and you go and tell the Chief of Surgery and you asked me to move in with you and now you’re religious.
    Burke: Spiritual. There’s a difference.
    Cristina: Well not to me. …. I don’t know what we’re doing.
    Burke: Well right now we’re working.

    Cristina: Okay we need to get him back on the donor’s list. It’s a bad heart.
    Burke: It’s not a bad heart.
    Cristina: Well can you get him back on the list?
    Burke: He’s waited two years for this heart. He has to fight for it. He has to decide if he wants to live.
    Cristina (frustrated): Okay, medically speaking is there anything else we haven’t done?
    Burke: The way you’re feeling right now … is why I have to believe in something bigger than me. Because if I didn’t, that powerlessness would eat me alive.

    Cristina: Justin took a turn. His fever’s down and his BP is up.
    Burke: I wonder what got through to him.
    Cristina: I don’t know.

    2.13 Begin The Begin
    Burke: So, in the name of the new year …
    Cristina: Oh, I don’t do resolutions.
    Burke: In the name of the New Year I thought you could give me an answer to my question.
    Cristina: Your question?
    Burke: About you … moving in.
    Cristina (sighs): I don’t have an answer.
    Burke: Cristina.
    Cristina: I’m not being Cristina. I just … I don’t have an answer.
    Burke: Then answer me this. What were you planning to do?
    Cristina: About what?
    Burke: The baby.

    Burke: He can see the mesothelioma better now that I’ve partially dissected it.
    Cristina: Um, I can’t uh, I can’t really see it from here. Can I, can I move closer.
    Burke: You’re fine there.

    Burke: Talk me to Bailey.
    Cristina: It’s me.
    Burke: I can’t talk I’m waiting for a call from Bailey.
    Cristina:I’m with Bailey.
    Burke: You’re in Idaho?
    Cristina: Yeah.
    Burke: You’re breaking the rules.
    Cristina: Yesss.

    Cristina: I wasn’t going to have it. The baby. And you don’t get to be mad about that, we barely knew each other. I was an intern and there was no way I could’ve-
    Burke: I’m not mad.
    Cristina: You’re not?
    Burke: No. I just wanted to know. I wanna know things.

    2.14 Tell Me Sweet Little Lies
    Burke: I’m glad you moved in.
    Cristina : So am I.

    2.15 Break On Through
    Cristina: Burke.
    Burke: Hey, I thought you were in surgery.
    Cristina: I was. Necrotizing fasciitis.
    Burke: No kidding? So why are you out here?
    Cristina: Because the new resident, ah she’s the new Bailey. Except that she’s the exact opposite of Bailey in the most absurd, horrifying, profoundly disturbing ways.
    Burke: Cristina.
    Cristina: I think the new resident is killing our patient.

    Cristina: Huh, I could hear you from six blocks away.
    Burke: Sorry.
    Cristina: Don’t be. I like it. I’m just not sure how the neighbors would feel which by the way is not a thing someone lacking in compassion would be concerned with.
    Burke: How’s your patient’s leg?
    Cristina: Carved all to hell but still on her body. We’re watching it overnight. What’s going on?
    Burke: Never in my career have I questioned a fellow surgeon in their O.R. I never understood what the problem was. An intern dating an attending. Until today.

    Cristina: She wants me to apologize.
    Burke: You crossed the line.
    Cristina: I’m not apologizing.
    Burke: You made me cross the line.
    Cristina: I didn’t make you do anything!
    Burke: That’s not your fault. It’s mine. I’m your teacher. I’m supposed to be. But you came to me as your boyfriend and I responded that way.
    Cristina: I’m not used to being wrong.
    Burke: I know. But you’re an intern. Second guessing a resident. That’s not your job.

    Cristina: She’s with Alex. I can’t do this in front of Alex.
    Burke: Well you can and you will.
    Cristina: Excuse me why aren’t you apologizing?
    Burke: I’m, I’m an attending. I don’t apologize to residents. You on the other hand are an intern.
    Cristina: Sydney I just wanted to … ah Just wanted to ah to … apologize for you know overstepping, I’m sorry.
    Sydney: Now that’s the compassion I was looking for. Apology accepted. Okay, you wanna hug it out?

    2.16 It's the End of the World
    Burke: You were gone when I woke up.
    Cristina: Oh I, I had to do a thing.
    Burke: You didn’t leave a note.
    Cristina: Yeah I had this thing to do. You know I did this thing.
    Burke: And once again …
    Cristina: What?
    Burke: We go to sleep. I think everything is fine and by the time I wake up you’re just a little bit crazy.
    Cristina: Okay, I’m not crazy. I had a thing.
    Burke: Okay.

    Cristina: Uh what, what do you want me to do?
    Burke: I want you to … to make that woman stop screaming and tell us what happened.
    Cristina: Oh, I can’t go to the O.R?
    Burke: No. You have a thing to do.

    2.17 As We Know It
    Burke: Time for you to go.
    Cristina: No I’m staying.
    Burke: There’s nothing more you can do here. We’ve got it covered. Cristina this is not another clueless surgery. This ammo can go off at any time and kill everyone in this room. Do you get that? You can not be in here.
    Cristina: Do you think this about surgery-
    Burke : Cristina I can not do this with you in here! I can not think!
    Meredith: We’ll be fine. It’s okay.
    Cristina (to Burke): You know in the movies how there’s always the heroes and then there’s the other guy? You know the guy who sees danger and runs in the opposite direction?
    Burke: Yes.
    Cristina: Be the other guy.

    2.18 Yesterday
    Burke: I am Preston Burke! A widely reknowned cardio-thoracic surgeon. I am a professional and more than that, I am a good and kind person. I am a person that cleans up behind myself! I am a person that cooks well. And you, you are an unbelievable slob. A slovenly, angry intern. I am Preston Burke! And you, you are the most competitive, most guarded, most stubborn, most challenging person I have ever met! And I love you. What the hell is the matter with you that you won’t just let me?
    Cristina: I gave up my apartment 20 minutes ago.
    Burke : Well alright then.

    2.19 What Have I Done to Deserve This?
    Cristina: Stop pouting.
    George: I’m not pouting.
    Cristina: Oh please I don’t have to even look at you. I can feel you pouting. Whatever Meredith did it wasn’t on purpose so get over it already. (To Burke)I’m not being inappropriate. He’s acting like she skinned his puppy.
    Burke: Cristina, it’s not nice.
    Cristina: Well I’m not a nice person.

    Burke: He’s your friend. He needed our help.
    Cristina: Are his problems surgical?
    Burke: Mmm no.
    Cristina: Then technically he doesn’t need our help.
    Burke: You’re a good person.
    Cristina: I am not.
    Burke: Goodnight.
    Cristina: Ah ha, goodnight.

    2.20 Band-Aid Covers the Bullet Hole
    Burke: Well look at you.
    Cristina : You find this amusing.
    Burke : And you don’t?
    Cristina : Come- you know what? I can’t help you. I can’t help you. I can not help you if you do not want to eat.

    2.21 Superstition
    Cristina walks up to Burke and hands him the scrub cap.
    Burke: “Thank you. How long have you had this? It's one of my favorites.”
    Cristina: “You know, you don’t need it. I keep that cap in my locker because every morning, I look at it and I'm reminded of what I'm here for and what I want to be. A great surgeon. A surgeon who is decisive, and executes, and who doesn’t need a piece of clothing to give him an edge in surgery. You don't need it.”
    Burke: “I know. You're right.”
    Cristina: “I know I'm right.”
    They both walk away, Burke putting on his scrub cap as he goes.

    Burke: “If you feel that strongly about O'Malley, I'll ask him to leave tonight.”
    Cristina: “No, don't.”
    Burke: “I thought you wanted him out.”
    Cristina: “I do, but not tonight.”
    Burke: (pulls out the cap) “Scrub cap.”
    Cristina: “Oh, thank you.”
    Burke: “You're welcome.”
    They walk the rest of way together grinning, their arms around each others’ waists.

    2.22 The Name of the Game
    Cristina: “The blonde ambition tour. Blonde ambition tour! Vogue! Oh are you kidding? Okay, she's blonde, she's blonde, she's ambitious with a head. She's ambitious...and...and...with a tour and the vogueing and...and the....”
    (Burke looks away, seems confused)
    Cristina: “Honey! Okay, honey, look...look at me!”
    (Callie and George, the idiots, start laughing)
    Cristina: “Shut up! Cones. CONES! They're called blonde ambitious boob cones, and...and vogueing, honey, vogue-ing! Sean Penn! SEAN PENN!”
    George: “Time!” (laughing) “Zero points...for Madonna.”
    Burke: “Ohhh! Madonna. Riiiiight.”

    (Cristina walks into the kitchen, naked.)
    Burke: (shocked) “Cristina, what the HELL are you doing?”
    Cristina: (nonchalant) “Oh, getting comfortable in my apartment.”

    2.23 Blues For Sister Someone
    Cristina: “You did everything you could.”
    Burke: “There was an interview that Eugene gave. I saved it. I taped it to my bathroom mirror. He said that he wasn’t the most talented student at music school, but he said what he lacked in natural ability, he made up for in discipline. He practiced…all the time. All the time, he practiced. I wasn’t like you. I wasn’t the most talented student in school. I wasn’t the brightest. But I was the best.”
    Cristina: “You practiced.”
    Burke: “I practiced.”

    2.26 Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response
    Cristina: “I’m not going to wait outside! Burke…”
    Burke: “Can we have a moment?”
    Richard: “Only a moment. I don’t want to waste any time.”
    Burke: “Cristina..”
    Cristina: “Honey, you don’t have to say anything! I know you’re sorry…I know you didn’t mean to throw me off the transplant, and I’m not mad. I mean, I was, but I’m NOT anymore. So don’t…worry about it, don’t even THINK about it. Okay? I mean, all that matters, is that you get better, and that you get through this. I’m here for you. Whatever you need. Anything.”
    Burke: “I need…you to…”
    Cristina: “Uh huh…”
    Burke: “To check on Denny Duquette.”
    Cristina: …. “Okay.”
    Burke: “Mm.”
    Cristina: “But that was my best supportive girlfriend, and you kind of ruined it with medicine. Okay.”

    Burke exhales
    Cristina: “How are you? You look good.” (Beat.) “Are those your films?”
    Cristina: (looks at films, is heartbroken) “Oh…Burke.”
    Burke: “Shepherd uh…doesn’t know if he can fix my hand. Maybe I’ll wait it out. See if this numbness subsides.”
    Cristina: “Yeah.”
    Burke: “Or I can, let Shepherd operate.”
    Cristina: “Yeah. Yeah.”
    Burke: “I could lose all hand function. What if I can never operate again?”
    Cristina: “Yeah.”
    Burke: “Cristina?”
    Cristina: “Yeah.”
    Burke: “Stop saying ‘yeah.’”
    Cristina: “Okay.”
    Burke: “I need…I need. You said you’re here. For me.”
    Cristina: “Yeah. Yeah. Oh—sorry.”
    Burke: “Cristina.”
    Cristina: “Mmhmm.”
    Burke: “I need you to tell me...what you think I should do?”
    Cristina: “I…I…I TOLD Dr. Bailey that I would be, back, okay, I, I told her that I, I wouldn’t be long.”
    Burke: “Cristina?”
    Cristina: “I…I’m…I’m gonna think about it, I’m.”
    Burke sighs tiredly
    Cristina: “I’m gonna think about it. Okay?”

    2.27 Losing My Religion
    Cristina: (pause) … “They’re throwing a PROM. Chief’s making us throw a prom.”
    Burke: (not looking at her.) “O’Malley mentioned.”
    Cristina: “George came to see you?”
    Burke: “He’s my friend.”
    Cristina looks shattered.
    Cristina: “Oh.”
    Burke: “I won’t bear a grudge.”
    Cristina: “What did you--?”
    Burke: “I have to take care of ME. I don’t expect you to take care of me, but I have to take care of me. If this…If you can’t stay here for this…” (soft, heartbreaking) “I won’t bear a grudge.”
    Cristina: “You gonna tell Shepherd about…”
    Burke: “Not yet.” (pause.) “I’m uh. Not yet.”
