Izzie Stevens quotes from Grey's Anatomy

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

Such a good dog! Who's Mommy's good boy? You're such a good boy. [Turns and looks at Izzie and George] What are you guys doing in there, we're gonna be late.

George

We need to talk about the dog.

Izzie

That's not a dog, it's a hyena that escaped from the zoo, dressed in dog clothing.

George

Whatever. I don't chew up his clothes. I don't urinate on his bed. I don't try to mount him from behind.

Meredith

People, he's our dog. We love our dog. He loves us.

Izzie

He tries to mount you from behind?

George

He tries to.

George

[after Meredith and Izzie climb into his bed] What happened today?

Izzie

Nothing.

Meredith

Nothing.

George

Okay.

Izzie

We don't know everything about each other, George.

Meredith

Yeah.

George

True. [pause] Anybody want to have sex?

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?

George

Why is he suturing his own face?

Cristina

To turn me on.

Alex

Because he's Mark Sloan, he's like the go-to plastic surgeon on the east coast.

George

That's the guy Addison was sleeping with?

Izzie

You can't really blame her, can you?

Cristina

No, not really.

George

Yes, you can.

Meredith

McSexy wants an X-ray to check for fractures and I think it's a bad idea if I take him.

George

Why? Why?

Alex

I'm on it.

George

Why's it a bad idea?

Cristina

McSexy?

Meredith

No?

Izzie

McYummy?

No.

Meredith

McSteamy.

Cristina

Aw, there it is.

Izzie

Yep.

George

Just choking back some... McVomit.

Izzie

You know when you don't have sex for a while, you sorta forget how good it is, and you don't really need it as much?

George

Yeah, that doesn't happen to guys.

Izzie

It's like a beast, a beast that was asleep, for a long, long time, and now the beast is wide awake and wants to be fed and the food, that Alex gave it, was... It was good food George.

George

Something needs to be done about your taste.

Alex

All right. So you slept with O'Malley. Get over it already.

Meredith

He told you?

Alex

Uh, no. [Laughs] I was just kidding! I means it's not like I should be surprised.

Meredith

Why not?

Alex

Because when your life is sucky, you get drunk and sleep with inappropriate men. It's your thing. Whatever. I find it charming.

Meredith

You sleep with inappropriate women when you're sober.

Alex

One inappropriate woman. And Izzie forgave me for that. O'Malley is not going to get over this.

Meredith

Izzie hasn't forgiven you!

Alex

Yes, she has. We're together.

Meredith

No you're not. Izzie may be sleeping with you, but she'll never see you the way she saw you before you slept with Olivia.

Alex

Why are you trying to piss me off?

Meredith

You're trying to suggest that it's forgivable for you to sleep with Olivia, but not forgivable for me to sleep with George.

George

You told him?!

Meredith

George!

George

Wow, when I'm wrong about someone.

Meredith

No, I...

George

I am REALLY wrong!

Meredith

No, George! It's not... it's not what you think!

Alex

Dude! Chill!

George

You chill! You chill! I'm not... I'm not going to chill.

Meredith

George, I...

Izzie

What's going on?

Alex

The fetus is freaking out.

Izzie

I can see that! Why are freaking out?

George

You think someone is your friend. [Cristina walks in] You know? And you think at the very least you'd respect my privacy!

Cristina

What's going on?

Alex

Baby boy is freaking out.

Izzie

She can see that.

Cristina

I can see that.

Why is he freaking out?

Meredith

George, can we at least talk?

George

I don't want to talk! Not to you! I wanted to keep my mouth shut. And if you hadn't been running away from me every time you see me, you would know that!

Meredith

Okay, you're right, but can we just talk now?

George

You want to talk now, because you told everyone that we had sex!

Izzie

You had sex?

Cristina

You had sex with George?

George

You didn't tell them?

Meredith

No.

George

DAMMIT! [trips and falls down stairwell]

Cristina

Great. No blood, no guts, no lives to save. It's dead quiet.

Bailey

Uh, did you really just say that?

Izzie

Cristina!

Cristina

What?

George

You said the "q" word.

Izzie

That's like saying Macbeth in the theatre.

Cristina

Please. You think because someone says its quiet that'll mean---

Cristina

Can anyone spell coincidence?

Izzie

Make her seize? How do we make someone have a seizure?

Derek

Well do your research, get creative.

George

But if all the normal methods have failed then... what are we supposed to do?

Derek

Use a strobe-light, get her drunk, hang her from the ceiling upside down and hit her with a wiffle bat for all I care, okay? Just make her seize, because until she seizes I don't know what to operate. And if I don't know what to operate, I can't get this woman out of my life. And this woman is now how I like to start my mornings.

Cristina

People! What's with all the evil misery? Huh? Live, and let live.

George

You're cheerful.

Cristina

Oh.

Izzie

You are. How is that possible?

Cristina

I scrubbed in on a four hour paraesophageal last night, then I got laid. And now three ambulances are coming in full of bloody, broken car crash victims, all who need to be cut open. So I'm cheery, I'm cheery, I am so cheery! I'm cheery! I'm cheerful!

Denny

Izzie! Izzie, stop and listen to me. We're not doing this.

Izzie

Don't worry. You're not gonna die. I will be here the whole time to make sure of that. And that's what this stuff is for.

Denny

This isn't about me dying. Alright? This is wrong.

Izzie

You've waited a year and a half to get this thing. Who knows when the next one is going to come along.

Denny

I'll take my chances.

Izzie

No. It may be too late by then.

Denny

Then it's too late. Alright. Now get this stuff out of here!

Izzie

Denny, please. You have to do this.

Denny

No, Izzie! I'm not about to steal a heart from another man's chest! Not to mention, this'll be the end of your medical career.

Izzie

I don't care about my medical career.

Denny

Alright, you know what? This has gone on long enough. I'm gonna call a nurse.

Izzie

Everyone who is entered into the transplant program is clocked in to the second. To the second, Denny. You were clocked into the second and so was the other guy, I checked with UNOS. The difference between when you entered the program and when he entered the program is 17 seconds. That's it Denny. 17 seconds. I mean, it's not even the length of a decent kiss. So this other guy, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve this heart. I'm sure he does, but so do you! So do you. And if you tell me anymore crap about heading towards the light or looking down on me from heaven I swear I will kill you myself right now!

Denny

Izzie... I'm gonna be alright. Alright? You don't have to worry.

Izzie

What about me? What about me when you go to the light?

Denny

Izzie...

Izzie

[beginning to cry] No, I get it! OK? I get it! You'll be OK, you'll be fine, but what about me? So don't do it for yourself, do it for me! Please! Please Denny! Please do this for me! Because if you die, oh God, you have to do this! You have to do this for me or I'll never be able to forgive you!

Denny

For dying?

Izzie

No! For making me love you! Please! Please do this for me, OK? Please? OK, I can't do this if you don't! Please do this for me, cause if you don't, please?

Denny

OK. OK, I'll do it.

Meredith

Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive.

George

Family...

Cristina

Love...

Izzie

Sex.

Derek

But we only need one thing...

Burke

To actually be alive.

Cristina

We need a beating heart.

Addison

When our heart is threatened...

Alex

We respond in one of two ways.

George

We either run...

Derek

Or...

Izzie

We attack.

Webber

There's a scientific term for this:

Alex

Fight...

Addison

Or flight.

Bailey

It's instinct...

Meredith

We can't control it.

Izzie

Or can we?

Denny

What? You like your men sick and feeble? You don't dig healthy guys?

Izzie

[laughs] I dig you.

Denny

Then why are you all swirly and twitchy?

Izzie

No I'm not.

Denny

Yeah, you're swirly and twitchy. It's 'cause I asked you to marry me.

Izzie

So you remember that?

Denny

It's not the kind of thing I'd forget.

Izzie

Yeah. Look, Denny, um, I'm giving you an out.

Denny

Excuse me?

Izzie

Well, I'm giving you an out. I mean, you thought you were dying and I was saving your life and, you know, everything was so... So, I won't hold it against you, or be hurt and offended if you want to take your proposal back, I mean giving you an out.

Denny

I don't want an out.

Izzie

You should take the out. We can't get married. I mean that would be crazy, insane. We should date, and have sex. Plenty of sex. You know when your heart gets better and you're out of the hospital, all the sex you can handle. But marriage is, um, marriage, I mean...

Denny

Okay, it's my turn now.

Izzie

But I need to...

Denny

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. [pause] For five 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 want to 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.

George

What happened?

I didn't know what to do. I didn't think you guys would want me to go to the chief, but...

Cristina

Where is she?

She's in there with him.

Cristina

Izzie...

Izzie

I think it was a stroke. He was prone to blood clots. A clot could have formed on his sutures, traveled to his brain, it only takes a second.

Meredith

Izz...

Izzie

Dr. Hahn did a beautiful job on the surgery. But I don't know why I didn't think of blood clots. He died all alone. He was alone.

George

There is nothing you could have done.

Izzie

I changed my dress three times. I wanted to look nice. I would have been here sooner. But I couldn't figure out which dress to wear.

George

Izzie, we shouldn't be in here.

Meredith

Izz, there are things that they need, they need to move him.

Izzie

Take him to the morgue.

Cristina

You can't stay here, I know you want to...

Izzie

Can you please, please, just get out? I want to be alone with Denny.

Alex

Izzie, that's not Denny.

Izzie

Shut up.

Alex

Izz, it's not Denny. The minute his heart stopped beating he stopped being Denny. Now I know you love him, but he also loved you. And a guy that loves you like that, he doesn't want you to do this to yourself. Because it's not Denny, not anymore.

Izzie

An hour ago he was proposing. And now... and now he's going to the morgue. Isn't that ridiculous? Isn't it the most ridiculous piece of crap you've ever...

Izzie

Hey, you're Addison Forbes Montgomery-Shepherd. That's a lot of names, a lot of rich-sounding names. You're rich, right? That's rude. That's a rude question. I'm sorry. It's just I'm rich now too.

George

You're not rich until you deposit the check.

Izzie

Do you ever feel guilty?

Addison

I'm sorry?

Izzie

Being rich. 'Cause I have all this money now and I don't really feel like I did anything to deserve it and I can't really talk to my friends about it because they're all so poor.

George

Standing right here, Izzie.

Addison

Deposit the check, Stevens. Just start there, ok? And, um the guilt will work itself out.
