Alex Karev quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Alex

For a kiss to be real, you got to want it to mean something and you want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head. So that when your lips finally touch, you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss Nicole, trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person, first kiss, it's everything.

Alex

[voiceover] Surgeons are all messed up. We're butchers, messed up knife happy butchers. We cut people up, we move on. Patients die on our watch, we move on to the next patient and the next. We cause trauma, we suffer trauma. We don't have time to worry about all the blood and death and crap really makes us feel.

Alex

[voiceover]: Doesn't matter how tough we are, trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up, but maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.

Alex

Today's the day my life begins. All my life I've been just me, just a smart-mouthed kid. Today I become a man. Today I become a husband. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today I become accountable to you, to our future, to all the possibilities that our marriage has to offer. Together no matter what happens, I'll be ready. For anything. For everything. To take on life. To take on love. To take on the possibility and responsibility. Today Izzie Stevens, our life together begins. And I for one, can't wait.

Alex

[to Izzie] You died in my arms. You died in my arms, you freakin' died and then you left instructions that I wasn't allowed to save your life! You wanna know what I'm scared of? I'm scared of everything! I'm scared to move! I'm scared to breathe! I'm scared to touch you! I can't lose you. I won't survive. And that's your fault. You made me love you, you made me let you in, and then you freakin' die in my arms!

Alex

[voice over] I'm not big into change. In oncology, when a normal cell changes into something malignant, it's called cellular transformation. The damn cells turn toxic right in front of your eyes. So as far as I'm concerned, transformation sucks.

Alex

[voice over] Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted. Things are uncertain. And there's no turning back. The world around you is different now. Unrecognizable and there's nothing you can do about it. You're stuck. The future's staring you in the face. And you're not sure you like what you see. Like I said, I'm not big into change.

Alex

[To Cristina] I'm such an idiot. I love her!

Cristina

Oh, that kills you, doesn't it?

Alex

What?

Cristina

That two women got the harvest.

Alex

No, it kills me that anybody got the harvest, but me. Boobs do not factor into this equation. Unless you want to show me yours.

Meredith

I'm going to become a lesbian.

Cristina

Me too.

George

Yang. I'm scrubbing in on a hemospherectomy with Shepherd.

Cristina

[gasps] Get out! I would kill for that.

George

We're cutting out half a girl's brain, and it's going to work. It's outrageous. Almost makes it hard to hate him.

Cristina

Why do you hate him?

George

Oh, no reason.

Cristina

Oh, you know about him and Meredith?

George

You know?

Cristina

When are you gonna figure out that I know everything?

George

[to Izzie who is walking up the stairs] She knows.

Izzie

Oh, about doctorcest?

Cristina

It's been going on for, like, ever.

Izzie

Wha... seriously?

George

And you didn't tell us?

Cristina

Oh, you're a gossip, huh?

George

I am not!

Izzie

I am!

George

He's about to go into major brain surgery on no sleep? Not very responsible.

Cristina

Jealous much? Sex all night isn't about being responsible.

Izzie

No, it's about sex all night. I can't believe you're not more pissed off about this, you of all people.

Cristina

Well, she works hard all day. She's good at her job, why should you care how she unwinds? I mean you like to bake all night, some people like to drink, others like an occasional screaming orgasm.

Alex

[Walking up] Yeah we do.

Cristina

Hey Syph-boy!

George

You told her?

Izzie

Just Cristina.

Alex

Syph-boy. It's got a nice ring to it; kind of like Super-boy, only diseased.

Alex

You could talk, you know, I mean, if you need to.

Meredith

I'm fine.

Alex

You said that word so many times today, it doesn't even sound like a word anymore. Just saying you can talk to me. Because, you know, even if I repeat every word you say, no one around here likes me, they'll just call me a liar and move on.

Alex

[referring to a patient who is removing her breasts and ovaries to prevent possible cancer] Here's the thing - I like your rack.

Izzie

God, what is wrong with you? Why do you have to be so - what is wrong with you?

Alex

I like your rack and I'd want them around if I could have them, trust me I would, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you got rid of them... because really, I want you.

Alex

Ow! What was that for?

Meredith

I feel like one of those people who's freaking miserable they can't be around normal people. Like I'll infect the happy people. Like I'm some miserable, diseased, dirty ex-mistress. Your turn.

Alex

I failed the medical boards, if I tell Izzie she'll be nice about it all, supportive and optimistic. She might as well rip my nads off and turn them into earrings.

Meredith

Alex, you should go to Thanksgiving. I mean don't tell her, if you don't want to. But you should go. Otherwise you're just... me.

Alex

A miserable, diseased, dirty ex-mistress. [Wolf whistle] Hot. That's really hot. I feel better already.

Izzie

Alex.

Alex

How crazy is this? Dude, it's like the Apocalypse.

Izzie

Alex.

Alex

It's true. Look around you. Half the people who're supposed to be saving lives have fled the building to save themselves. Bailey's husband almost died coming to see his kid getting born. The annoying twins are down on the OR floor with the guy who literally explode in their faces. It's a morgue. Just saying, people should get while the getting's good because there might not be a tomorrow.

Izzie

Alex!

Alex

What?

Izzie

Take off your pants.

Alex

Izzie, what are you doing?

Izzie

I'm being a doer. Getting while the getting's good. Now take off your pants.

Alex

You realize when I said the apocalypse, I meant it metaphorically, not literally.

Izzie

Alex, I haven't had sex in eight months and twelve days. I'm horny, I'm half-naked, and I'm saying yes. Do you want to stand there and talk metaphors, or do you want to literally take off your pants?
