Meredith Grey's lines from Grey's Anatomy


I am not so much of a fan of the Grey's Anatomy TV series neither I follow it much; but at the near end of the episode, there is nice music, short scenes mixing and a voice over by Meredith Grey of the series. This voice over makes lot of sense a lot of times. Just to appreciate the writers and directors, I just thought of listing some of the quotes from the Grey's Anatomy TV series.
These are mostly about life, relationships and mostly, serious ones with meaning. Read it and you will know why I chose to mention these quotes. These lines sometimes makes me feel not to miss the series, at least the end of every episode. Try to relate, you may find some answers in case you got some questions. By all means, these are deep and meaningful:




Shiny Happy People:
It’s a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier, healthier life. As children we are told to smile, be cheerful, and put on a happy face. As adults we are told to look on the bright side, to make lemonade, and see glasses as half full. Sometimes reality can get in the way of our ability to act the happy part though. Your hope can fail, boyfriends can cheat, friends can disappoint. It’s in these moments, when you just want to get real, drop the act, and be your true scared unhappy self.

Love Turns You Upside Down:
There don’t have to be harps playing or birds singing or pose petals falling from the sky… And there are definitely days when the romance is dead. But if you look around, things are pretty amazing. So stop for a second. Enjoy the beauty. Feel the magic. Drink it in. ‘Cause it won’t last forever. The romance will fade. Things will happen. People will change. Love will die. But… maybe not today.

No Good At Saying Sorry:
Remember when we were little, and we’d accidentally bite a kid on the playground? Our teachers would go, “Say you’re sorry.” and we would say it, but we wouldn’t mean it. Because the stupid kid we bit… totally deserved it. But, as we get older, making amends isn’t so simple. After the playground days are over, you can’t just say it, you have to mean it.

In the Midnight Hour:
When you’re little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding right under the bed. When you get older, the monsters are different… self doubt, loneliness, regret… and though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark.

Scars and Souvenirs:
People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places, like secret road maps of their personal histories, diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our old wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar, but some of them don’t. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut’s long gone, the pain still lingers.


My Favorite Mistake:
Messing up, it’s what makes a person. It’s how we learn, where we find joy. And the things you don’t plan for, are things you never see coming.

Something to Talk About:
Communication. It’s the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking, the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.

Blink:
We assume the really serious changes in our lives happen slowly, over time. But it’s not true. The big stuff happens in an instant. Becoming an adult, becoming a parent, becoming a doctor. One minute you’re not, and the next you are. Ask any doctor, and they can point to the one moment they became a physician, and it usually isn’t med school graduation day. Whatever it is, nobody forgets it. Sometimes you don’t even know anything’s changed. You think you‘re still you and your life is still your life. But you wake up one day and look around and you don’t recognize anything, not anything at all.

More to come, hopefully.

Joey from F.R.I.E.N.D.S



Joey Tribbiani from F.R.I.E.N.D.S is a real friend. No friend is better than Joey. If you can recall below scene from the series, you would agree. And the way Matt LeBlanc has portrayed the character is superb. Here are some of the memories.

Well I’m Joey. Yeah, uh, I’m disgusting and I take my underwear off at other people’s homes.

A Great Friend


I love this one... read it, you will know why:

Phoebe: Yeah, so I said, "OK, relax please," y'know, I mean, sex can be just 
about two people right there in the moment, y'know, it's, if he wants to see 
me again he can call and if not, that's fine too. So after a looooot of 
talking. . . I convinced him.
Joey: Let me get this straight. He got you to beg to sleep with him, he got 
you to say he never has to call you again, and he got you thinking this was 
a great idea.
Phoebe: Um-hum.
Joey: This man is my God.

The below one is one of the best dramatic scenes ever:

Joey: All right. [gets up]
Monica: [stopping him] No! Joey, we swore we'd never tell!
Chandler: [running over and joining Monica] They'll never understand!
Joey: Well, we have to say something! We have to get it out! It's eating me 
alive!! Monica got stung by a jellyfish.
Monica: [interrupting] All right!! All right. [walks slowly into the living 
room] I got stung. Stung bad. I couldn't stand. I-I couldn't walk.
Chandler: [following Monica] We were two miles from the house. Scared and 
alone. We didn't think we could make it. [He goes to put his hands on Monica's 
shoulders but for some reason can quite complete the action and pulls back.]
Monica: I was in too much pain.
Joey: And I was tired from digging the huge hole!
Chandler: And then Joey remembered something.
Joey: I'd seen this thing on The Discovery Channel...
Ross: Wait a minute! I saw that! On The Discovery Channel, yeah! About 
jellyfish and how if you... [stops suddenly and turns to look at Monica] 
Ewwww!! You peed on yourself?!
Phoebe and Rachel: Ewwww!!
Monica: You can't say that!! You-you don't know!! I mean I thought I was 
gonna pass out from the pain! Anyway I-I tried, but I-I couldn't...bend that 
way. So... [looks at Joey.]
Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel: [turning to look at Joey] Ewwww!!
Joey: That's right I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help! And if 
I had too, I'd pee on anyone of you! Only, uhh, I couldn't. I got the stage 
fright. I wanted to help, but there was too much pressure. So-so I uh, I 
turned to Chandler.
Chandler: [wails loudly into his hands] Joey kept screaming at me: "Do it 
now! Do it!! Do it! Do it now!!". 
Sometimes late at night I can still here the screaming.
Joey: [laughs] That's cause sometimes I just do it through my wall to freak 
you out.
Joey from F.R.I.E.N.D.S


Joey: Well, I'm sorry if I'm not a middle-aged black woman. And I'm also sorry if sometimes I go to the wrong audition.

[On living alone] 
Joey: I thought it'd be great, you know? have some time alone with my thoughts... turns out, I don't have as many thoughts as you'd think.

Chandler: (entering) Hey, does anybody need anything copied? I'm going down 
to the Xerox place.
Monica: Oh, no thanks.
Chandler: Okay listen, just give me anything I can make two of.
Monica: Well, if you don't have anything to copy, why are you going down 
there?
Joey: Yeah, are you just going down there to gawk at that hot girl with the 
belly button ring again?
Chandler: Yeah! You wanna come?
Joey: Yeah!

Joey: Oh, have either one of you guys ever been to the Rainbow Room? Is it 
real expensive?
Chandler: Well, only if you order stuff.
Joey: I'm takin' Orsula tonight. It's her birthday.
Ross: Whoa. What about Phoebe's birthday?
Joey: When's that?
Ross: Tonight.
Joey: Oh, man. What're the odds of that happening?
Ross: You take your time.

In case you wonder - Orsula is Phoebe's twin sister.

[after Chandler kisses Kathy] 
Joey: You're so far past the line, you can't even see the line. The line is a dot to you.

And hers is what I am talking about

Joey: Hey, Monica bought a bed from the "Mattress King"?
Phoebe: Yeah, so please, please, please, don't say anything to Chandler.
Joey: You want me to lie to Chandler?
Phoebe: Is that a problem?
Joey: No.

More will come, soon, hopefully.

Perfect scenes using songs - 1

Remember those amazing moments in a TV series like "FRIENDS" and "How I met your mother" (now on - HIMYM). These two series have a very common thing when it comes to displaying emotions - they use songs. Songs that mostly are not heard now-a-days. Many old songs but which are so perfect for the scene that you feel touched.

I got the idea of this blog when I was watching one of the episode of HIMYM (needless to say - watching it again). It was 18th episode of season 1 (Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M.) and this one song in background really was amazing. When the first time I was watching this episode, I did not notice the song much - I guess when you watch it again and again - you tend to notice more and more.

So here was the scene - Ted and the buttercup girl Victoria are right now in a long distance relationship (always a bad idea). Robin is lonely so she calls Ted for a juice (ya, an excuse only). Ted goes for it and on the way discovers that Robin too likes him (courtesy - Lily).
How I Met Your Mother

Ted lies to Robin that he broke up with Victoria. Victoria calls Ted but Robin answers the call thinking its her mobile phone. So now Victoria knows Ted was with Robin while Robin knows that Ted lied to her. At the end of the scene - Ted - as he puts it - has hurt two people who he cares about. And the background song is - The Hard Left.

The song goes like:

----------

Sorry Baby but its getting too much to take
I close my eyes I know my hearts about to break
I'm down on my knees trying to pick myself up
When the battles over, seems nothing not enough

The way you do me, you know it hurts me to the bone
How you touch me, I'd be better off alone
Saying I'm sorry till I'm blue in the face
Leaves me empty with no love left to waste

We promise to have, oh we promise to hold
How does a promise ever grow old

So listen baby, I'm gonna get back on my feet
Tuck this old shirt and wipe the crimson off my cheek
Remember these secrets were all that I kept
When I pull out this driveway and hang a Hard Left

We promise to have, oh we promise to hold
How does a promise ever grow old.

----------
It's by ROBIN HACKETT.

Would have written this for another audience on my cousin's music website blog but then I thought this more qualifies for my blog than music oriented blog. Also, the song in itself isnt great but when you watch the episode you feel the song is perfect. The learning from this episode - Nothing good happens after 2 am, so when its 2 am - go to sleep.

Similar perfection can also be found FRIENDS series. How it can be that I do not talk about FRIENDS!!

First episode of FRIENDS that strikes me for the song (apart from its awesome title song) is England Swing by Roger Miller. It is played in the episode The One With Ross' Wedding, Part 1 (Season 4 Episode 23) where Ross and Emily are getting married in London and all others are there too. The time when Joey and Chandler are going site seeing in London and this song just brings more freshness to London backdrop. You actually feel like enjoying the London.

----------

England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of the little children

----------


Joey irritating Chandler with hat
It is shown that Joey is constantly following and clicking Chandler in camera across locations of London. Chan gets freaked out and starts ignoring Joe. Joey then, likes a England flag made hat and that irritates chandler more and he....well - go watch it if you haven't. :)

Both songs are easily available on YouTube. I will be writing next few more posts on this topic - so more to come, hopefully.
