Michael O'Neill: Gary Clark

Quotes 

• Gary Clark : Dr. Shepherd?

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Sir, you shouldn't be here. It's not safe.

  Gary Clark : I know it's not safe here. That's the point. This hospital isn't safe. You don't recognize me, do you?

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Mr. Clark. Sorry, I... There's a lot going on here. I have a situation. You should go someplace safe so you don't get hurt.

  Gary Clark : I'm already hurt. You hurt me when you decided to kill my wife.

  [points the gun at him] 

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Mr. Clark.

  Gary Clark : Shut up. No talking. You're not the man here. I'm the man. I'm the man! I told my wife I would be. I'm a man, and a man looks after his wife, and I didn't. I let you decide that she should die. I wasn't a man then, but I'm a man now. What kind of hospital is this? It isn't safe here. Somebody has to protect people from you. Handing down judgments like you're God.

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : Mr. Clark...

  Gary Clark : You don't get to be God!

  [Derek tries to say something] 

  Gary Clark : No talking!

  Dr. Derek Shepherd : [long pause, voice shaking]  Mr. Clark, listen to me. I know your loss. I lost my father when I was a kid. Two guys killed my father for his watch, right in front of me. Right in front of me. I didn't become a doctor because I wanted to be God. I became a doctor because I wanted to save lives... Look at me. Please. Look at me in the eye. I'm a human being. I make mistakes. I'm flawed. We all are. Today, I think... for you, it's just a mistake. You want justice. You want somebody to pay. You're a good man. I can see that in your eyes. Can you see it in mine? Can you?

  [after a a long silence, Mr. Clark lowers his gun] 

  Dr. April Kepner : [runs out]  Oh, Dr. Shepherd! Thank God you're back!

  [Derek turns to look at April and Mr. Clark holds his gun up again, shakes for a few moments, and shoots Derek in the chest]
