Episode 2x21 "Superstition" monologues

Opening monologue: Meredith Grey

My college campus has a magic statue.
It's a long standing tradition for students to rub it's nose for good luck.
My freshman roommate really believed in the statue's power and insisted
on visiting it to rub it's nose before every exam.
Studying might have been a better idea, she flunked out in sophomore year.
But the fact is we all have little superstitious things we do.
If it's not believing in magic statues, it's avoiding sidewalk cracks, or
always putting our left shoe on first.
Knock on wood, step on a crack break your mother's back.
The last thing we want to do is offend the Gods.


Closing monologue: Meredith Grey

Find a penny, pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck.
No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck, but does saying it
thirty-three times really help.
Is anyone really listening.
And if no one's listening, why do we bother doing
those strange things at all?
We rely on superstitions because we're smart enough to know
that we don't have all the answers.
And that life works in mysterious ways.
Don't diss the juju, from where ever it comes.
