Episode Quotes
 
(to Izzie about marrying him)
Denny: No no no, we’re taking turns. I've decided. It’s polite and it keeps me from yelling. When it’s your turn again, you can talk. For 5 years, I've had to live by the choices of my doctors. The guys that cut me open decided my life; there wasn’t one choice that was mine. And now, I have this heart that beats and works. I get to be like everybody else. I get to make my own decisions, have my own life, do whatever the damn hell I choose. Now here’s the good part, so you listen close. What I choose, is you. You’re who I wanna wake up with, and go to bed with, and do everything in between with. I get a choice now. I get to choose. I choose you Izzie Stevens. Ok, it’s your turn again.
 
(in the Chief's office)
Izzie: I cut the LVAD wire.
Meredith: Actually, I cut the LVAD wire.
George: No, I did it. I'm the one who cut the wire.
(pause, then George nudges Cristina)
Cristina: Fine, I cut the LVAD wire.
Alex: I didn't do anything, I'm totally innocent.
(the other interns all start yelling at him)
 
(to Bailey about the prom)
Alex: The problem is the colors and-and the balloons and the under the sea. No, it’s Titanic. Hey, let’s go with Tears In Heaven. No, that’s too morbid. It should be pink, it should be red, it should be a freakin' rainbow.
 
(during his session with the Chief)
Alex: I went to college on a wrestling scholarship. I played baseball, some basketball. But we'll go with football.
Webber: What the hell does football have to do with who cut the LVAD wires?
Alex: Let's say you were drafted to a team that wasn't your first pick. You know, you don't like the players. You hate the way they play the game. You even think the quarterback is full of crap. The quarterback's a pain in the ass you don't owe a damned thing to. But, it's your team. You don't quit. You don't talk to the press. You don't bitch to the coach. You just, you just go out there every Sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you, you play to win. You show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team.
 
(during her session with the Chief)
Webber: I know your type. You're a surgical junkie.
Cristina: Yes, sir.
Webber: I'm just saying, its not going to be easy for you to be away from the OR that long.
Cristina: No, sir.
Webber: And if you want to get back to the OR, you're gonna tell me what I need to know aren't you.
Cristina: You're right, its not easy for me to be away from the OR. And its not easy for me to sit in front of you, or any other authority figure for that matter, and not be able to give you the exact answer that you want to hear. I'm the one with the answers. I've always been the one with the answers. But right now sir, I don't have any.
Webber: Dr. Yang.
Cristina: How do you keep your edge sir? Because I've watched you and you've been doing this a long time and you're clean, you're focused, you are the job, nothing gets to you. And the thing is sir, I was like that, until I got here. Until I actually started doing this job and now everything is---is fuzzy and
Webber: That’s beside the point.
Cristina: No see sir, this is the point. Because I can't tell you, I can't tell you what happened in that room. And before I could have, no guilt, no loyalties, no problem. Before, before I wouldn't have even been in that room. I wouldn't have gotten involved. I would have never frozen in surgery. And I would have told him what I thought he should do. I had an edge, sir. I had an edge and I've lost it, and I need it. I need it back. So, if you could just tell me, how you keep yours and how not to be affected, I know I could be a great surgeon. So if you could just give me the answers, I would really appreciate it.
 
(during her session with the Chief)
Izzie: I'm a pretty girl.
Webber: What?
Izzie: I'm not being arrogant, its just, its just kind of a fact. For a long time I made a career from my looks, so I get it, I'm a pretty girl. And not in a "from a certain angle" way, in an obvious way. It’s the blonde thing and the big boobs thing, big boobs are a key to obvious pretty if you know what I'm saying.
Webber: Dr. Stevens.
Izzie: Its how men see me. I'm not a smart girl or an interesting girl, I'm a pretty girl. The blonde and the boobs it confuses guys into thinking that I'm someone else. And I'm used to it. And I'm used to them walking away when they realize...but then Denny goes and asks me to marry him.
Webber: Is that why you cut the wires?
Izzie: He doesn't make me feel like I'm a pretty girl. He makes me feel like---like me. I think he might know me. And so, if I did cut the LVAD wire, and I'm not saying that I did, but if I did, then no, I don't feel guilty. And I know that I should. And I would if it were anybody else’s. But I can't feel anything but happy.
 
(to the Chief during their session)
George: (Webber sits silently in front of him) Aren't you gonna say anything or ... I'm not gonna break ... I'm starting to get a little freaked out, but I'm not gonna break. Its not because I don't care, because I do care what you think about me, I do. Care. I just can't tell you want you wanna hear. Which seems to be a theme in my life right now. Just because you can't say something doesn't mean you don't want to, you can want to very much. You can be with a person and be happy with them and not love them. And you can love somebody and not want to be with them. You don't need to love someone to want them. Now that's frustrating, when what your brain tells you you want and what you actually want don't match up. Its exhausting. And, well, its complicated. But that's life. And life... sucks.
 
(during her session with the Chief)
Webber: I've known you for a long time. And I know your mother and father. And I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you did not cut those LVAT wires. Meredith, I need you to tell me who did it.
Meredith: I've been going over this and over this in my mind trying to piece this together. It was you, you're the reason my parents broke up. And it wasn't just an affair, she really loved you. It wasn't just this cheap thing where she didn’t tell you she was married. It wasn't all a lie. She left her husband for you. But you stayed with your wife, because it was the right thing to do. Maybe safe, but she was the right person for you to be with. Lets face it, my mother, nothing wrong with being safe, being with the good guy because he’s good and we are talking about forever here. You've never regretted your decision. You've never looked back... Right?
