Invest In Love

                                    

                                          
Meredith: It's impossible to describe the panic that comes over you when you're a surgeon and your pager goes off in the middle of the night. Your heart starts to race.

Lying asleep on the couch, Audrey is suddenly woken up when a pager starts going off, making her sigh in annoyance before rolling over so she falls off the couch, knocking into an empty beer bottle on the ground
                          
Audrey: "Please don't be mine. Don't be mine." she pleads, crawling over to the table to check the pager

Meredith: Your mind freezes. Your fingers go numb.

Audrey: "Not mine" she breathes, moving back over to the couch "Yo." she kicks Alex in the leg, dropping his pager on his head
                          
Alex: "What?" he muffles into his pillow
                          
Audrey: "They're paging you."
                          
Alex: "Ugh." he groans, sitting up

Meredith: You're invested.

Plopping back down on the couch, Audrey pulls the cover back up to her chin, closing her eyes as she begins falling back to sleep. A pager starts going off again, making her groan in annoyance
                          
Audrey: "Oh, come on!" she grits, placing the pillow over her head as Alex chuckles, handing her the pager which makes her throw the pillow down, huffing out a breath before sitting back up

Meredith: They're someone's mom, someone's dad, someone's kid, and now it's on you, because that someone's life is now in your hands. As surgeons, we're always invested in our patients.

Audrey: "Laura Young, 30 weeks pregnant. Car accident. Head CT showed a subdural. Shepherd's coming in. Baby's in distress." she informs Zachary, showing him images on an ultrasound
                          
Laura: "Oh, it hurts. It really hurts."
                          
Zachary: "Okay, wait. Hold on. Stop. Move the wand up."
                          
Audrey: "What?"
                          
Zachary: "Okay, baby's brain is hemorrhaging. She needs a crash "C" while Shepherd handles the bleed. Get ready to grab a rail and start running."

Meredith: But when your patient's a child...

Callie: "Get another unit of packed cells, meet me in the O.R."
                          
Nurse: "Right away."

Meredith: You're not just invested... 
                          
>>
                          
Zachary: "Whoa, whoa, whoa. We need the O.R."

Meredith: You're responsible...

Callie: "Well, we need it, too. We're already on our way."
                          
Zachary: "There's only one O.R prepped this time of night."
                          
Callie: "Which is why we need it."
                          
Zachary: "Mine's got a subduraro."
                          
Callie: "50 broken bones."
                          
Zachary: "Stroke in the womb!"
                          
Speeding up their steps the pair begin running with the gurneys, Callie having to stop when a nurse steps out a room, almost running into the gurney
