Episode 6x05 "Invasion" monologues

Opening monologue: Meredith Grey

When you get sick it starts out with a single bacteria;
one lone, nasty intruder.
Pretty soon the intruder duplicates; becomes two.
Then those two become four.
And those four become eight.
Then before your body knows it, it's under attack.
It's an invasion.
The question for a doctor is, once the invaders have
landed, once they've taken over your body...
How the hell do you get rid of them?


Closing monologue: Meredith Grey

What do you do when the infection hits you?
When it takes over?
Do you do what you're supposed to and take your
medicine?
Or do you learn to live with the thing and hope that
someday it goes away?
Or do you just give up entirely and let it kill you?
