Opening monologue: Meredith Grey
Surgeons usually fantasize about wild and improbable surgeries.
Someone collapses in a restaurant, slice them open with abutter knife.
Replace a valve with a hollowed out stick of carrot.
But every now and then, some other kind of fantasy slips in.
Most of our fantasies dissolve when we wake, banished to the back of our mind,
but sometimes, we're sure, if we try hard enough..
we can live the dream.
Closing monologue: Meredith Grey
The fantasy is simple, pleasure is good, and twice as much pleasure is better.
That pain is bad, and no pain is better.
But the reality is different.
The reality is that pain is there to tell us something.
And there's only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomachache,
and that's OK.
Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.
