Izzie Stevens quotes from Grey's Anatomy

Izzie

[to Alex] You wanna see it? You really want to see it? Fine! Let's look at that tattoo up close and personal, shall we? What are these? Oh, my God! Breasts! How does anybody practice medicine hauling these things around? And what have we got back here? Let's see if I remember my anatomy. Glutes, right? Let’s study them, shall we? Gather around and check out the booty that put Izzie Stevens through med school! Have you had enough, or should I continue, because I have a few more very interesting tattoos. You want to call me Dr. Model? That's fine. Just remember that while you're still sitting on two hundred grand of student loans... I'm out of debt.

Izzie

[to a patient after he throws up on Alex] You are so my favorite person today.

Izzie

[about Alex] What? So I slept with him again. So I'm a big whore. A big horny whore who can't get enough. Can we get over the shocked silence already?

Izzie

I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. Like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast and I just wanna go back... to when things were normal. When I wasn't "Poor Izzie" laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her- her dead fiance. But I am. So I can't. And I'm... just stuck. And there's all this pressure cause everyone's hovering around me waiting for me to do something. Or say something, or flip out, or yell and cry some more and I'm happy to play my part. I'm happy to say the lines and do whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing if it will make everyone feel more comfortable. But I don't- I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be this person. I don't- I don't know who this person is.

Izzie

I'm just gonna keep my eyes closed. Because this is like that moment in the morning when you first wake up and you're still half asleep and everything seems... things are possible. Dreams feel true and for that one moment between waking and sleeping, anything can be real and then you open your eyes and the sun hits you and you realize that... I'm just gonna keep my eyes closed.

Izzie

You're unmotivated, you're careless, selfish, distracted, and pretty much the people in this hospital I would least trust with my life. But that's the way it's supposed to be. You're interns. You're babies. And you're all lucky to work here. We're all lucky because we get to save lives. Every day, we get to save lives. That's what we do, that's our job, and... it's not something a lot of people get to do.

George

You don't understand! Me gonads, you ovaries.

Izzie

Oh, that reminds me, we are out of tampons.

George

No, you're parading through the bathroom in your underwear, when I'm naked in the shower!

Izzie

You add it to your list, please?

George

What?

Izzie

Tampons!

Meredith

To the list, it's your turn.

George

I am a man! I don't buy girl products! I don't want you walking in while I'm in the shower. I don't want to see you in your underwear!

George

Who else did you invite?

Cristina

Izzie, we said the list was jocks only. Surgery, Trauma, Plastics. Who else?

Izzie

Just some people from Peds.

Cristina

You invited the preschoolers to Meredith’s house? The next thing you’ll say is you invited the shrinks.

Cristina

She invited mental defects. This party’s DOA.

George

You get any sleep?

Izzie

She could oil the bedsprings, as a courtesy, or at least buy a padded headboard.

George

So, who's the guy?

Izzie

You think it was just one guy doing all that work?

George

Do you mind if I don't think about that?

Izzie

Aw, you jealous?

George

Not jealous.

Izzie

Well, I am. But at least I know she'll be having a long day at work.

Izzie

Well, at least we know brain surgery isn't his only skill.

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.

Izzie

[After George comes out of the bathroom] There's no reason to be ashamed. It's normal, healthy even.

George

I'm not ashamed. 'Cause I wasn't doing anything. I don't have to. I have a girlfriend.

Izzie

An imaginary girlfriend?

George

An actual girlfriend.

Izzie

You know what? It's no big deal, you don't have to lie. I get it. You have needs.

Meredith

What is going on out here?

George

Nothing.

Izzie

[to Meredith] Nothing. He's freaked out because I caught him playing with little Jimmy and the twins.

George

[he turns around] I have a girlfriend.

Izzie

OK.

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.

Meredith

[brushing off Derek] I'm a sink with an open drain. Anything you say runs right out! There is no enough! [Storms off]

George

She probably could have picked a better metaphor.

Izzie

Give her a break, she's got a hangover.

Bailey

You have a problem?

Izzie

No.

Bailey

You have a mocha latte?

Izzie

No.

Bailey

Then go away.

Addison

So, have you made a decision yet, Dr. Stevens?

Izzie

I'm sorry?

Addison

Whether or not you're going to hate me. You're Meredith's friend? I'm the wicked witch who came in and ruined her life and cheated on Doctor... wait, what is it that you guys call him?

Izzie

McDreamy...

Addison

Right. God, doesn't that embarrass him?

Izzie

Yeah, I think it does.

Addison

Yeah, well, by all rights you should hate me.

Izzie

I guess.

Addison

Except that I'm going to be staying in town for a while.

Izzie

You are?

Addison

Yes, and you show a real gift with my specialty. And I have a lot to teach, if you want to learn. So.

Izzie

So?

Addison

So, when you decide how important it is for you to hate me... let me know.
