Darren : You deploy in five days, man.<br />

Todd : That was before I knew you had a<br />

brain tumor.<br />

Darren : No, no. Don’t screw this up for<br />

yourself. You’re a soldier.<br />

It’s who you are. Besides, I’m probably not even going to make it<br />

through surgery.<br />

Todd : Okay? So…<br />

Darren : Cool.<br />

Todd : Then I’ll be good to go in about five<br />

days.<br />

Darren : Dude, why did you come, man?<br />

Todd : How could I not? God, you’re so<br />

paranoid. (Started to kiss<br />

Darren passionately)<br />

In the Episode 75: The Becoming (minute of episode: 13:45—14:54), the kissing scene of two<br />

homosexual couple was being portrayed directly without using any metaphors. The two male<br />

characters kissed passionately (as what normal couple would do). It seems like Grey’ Anatomy<br />

has a serious intention to promote the diversification of genders in intimacy relationship.<br />

Intimate Touching is categorized as sexual behavior which was applied as variable in this<br />

study. From the findings, the researcher had observed that other sexual behaviors (such as<br />

passionate kissing or physical flirting) can be associated with intimate touching and those<br />

behaviors sometimes occurred simultaneously. Meaning, the characters may make contact with<br />

their sexual counterpart intimately and at the same time they could be using other sexual<br />

behaviors such as kissing and body grabbing.<br />

Visual:<br />

Meredith sobbing badly and Derek tried to calm her. Meredith worried for her mother<br />

and she doesn’t want her to die alone. Derek helped Meredith to breathe and he had<br />

touched Meredith hand intimately and let her to lean at his shoulder.<br />

Dialogue:<br />

Meredith : (Sobbing) I don’t… I can’t, I can’t, I<br />

don’t… I don’t… I<br />

can’t… I don’t want… I don’t want my mother to die alone.<br />

Derek : Slow down. Just slow down. Shh…<br />

slow deep breaths<br />

now. Slow deep breaths. Slow down. Slow down. Just breathe in<br />

the bag.<br />

Meredith : (Gasping) I’m OK.<br />

Derek : You’re OK.<br />

Meredith : Thank you.<br />

Derek : You’re Welcome.<br />
