Dr. Meredith Grey: Four hundred years ago, another well-known English guy had an opinion about being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone. Of course, it was fancier when he said it. No man is an island entire unto himself. Boil down that island talk, and he just meant that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know were not alone. And whos to say that someone cant have four legs. Someone to play with or run around with, or just hang out.

Dr. 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.

Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.
