歌词
(Meredith is in the hall outside of Richard's room on the phone.)
Meredith: I know but something came up, an important surgery and I couldn't.
Ms. Henry: I'm just sorry you couldn't be there for your mother.
Meredith: Ms. Henry, if my mother were lucid, she would understand. She's a surgeon. She's done this countless times. And besides that, she doesn't even know who I am, anyway, so...
Ms. Henry: Today she did.
Meredith: What?
Ms. Henry: Your mother's been asking when her daughter Meredith gets off from work.
(Derek walks up)
Derek: Hey.
Meredith: Hey. A lot of secret phone calls today. Yeah, it's my mother. She isn't traveling. She isn't writing a book. She isn't anything. I've been lying to everyone.
Derek: Why?
Meredith: She has Alzheimer's.
Derek: How advanced?
Meredith: Very. She's in a home and I'm the only one who even knows she's sick. I just don't know what to do anymore, you know?
(He kisses her forehead and smoothes her hair. Richard wakes up and this is the first thing he sees)
我知道我不能成为一个重要的外科医生，但是一些事情碰到了。我很抱歉你的母亲不能够帮你。如果我的母亲是清醒的，她将会理解。她是外科医生。她度过了没有价值的时间。除此之外，她甚至不知道我是谁。 今天她知道了。什么？ 当你离职时，你的母亲问过了。嗨，今天有许多神秘的电话。 是的，它是我的母亲，她不在旅游，也不在写书，她不在做任何事情，我对所有人撒了谎， 为甚么？她得病了。她在家，我是那唯一一个知道她生病的人。
