Grey's Anatomy
from the episode "Tainted Obligation", written by Jenna Bans
Dr. Lexi Grey: So I’m going to be fired. I’ve done a lot of really dumb things today. Including, pulling your medical files.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Lexi…
Dr. Lexi: Grey: Just listen: I didn’t want to do this; I didn’t want to have to come to you. For anything. Ever. So I thought if I looked up your blood type and it was the wrong one then that would be it. Then I could just stop thinking about it. But I can’t... because you have his blood. And I know that he’s not your dad. I know that he was never there for you. And I would never ask you to give him anything. He doesn’t deserve a thing from you. He doesn’t. But he’s… He’s going to die, Meredith. And so I’m asking you to give something to me. I’m asking… I’m asking you to give me my dad. Because as crappy as he was to you, God, he was wonderful to me. He never missed a single dance recital. He was there at my 5th grade graduation. What is that? That’s not even real. I know he’s not your dad, I know that, but somehow… you have his blood and I don’t. So I’m asking you… give me my dad.
