Episode 5x14 " Beat Your Heart Out" monologues


Opening monologue: Meredith Grey

Any first year med student knows that an increased heartrate is a sign of trouble.
A racing heart can indicate anything.
From a panic disorder, to something much, much, more serious.
A heart that flutters, or one that skips a beat..
could be a sign of secret affliction.
Or it could indicate romance.
Which is the biggest trouble of all.


Closing monologue: Meredith Grey

It seems we have no control whatsoever over our own hearts.
Conditions can change without warning.
Romance can make the heart pound..
just like panic can.
And panic can make it stop cold in your chest.
It's no wonder doctors spend so much time trying to keep the heart stable..
to keep it slow, steady, regular, to stop the heart from pounding out of your chest..
from the dread of something terrible, or the anticipation of something else entirely.
