Izzie

I love George.

Oh, God...

Izzie

I do, I love him, and I'm so happy because he's kind and, um, smart and um, sweet and sexy. He's perfect, perfect, except for the fact that he kisses like a chicken. You know a chicken pecking the ground for food, just pecking and pecking and pecking, and when he's pecking at me like that I forget that I love him, I forget that he's kind and and sweet and sexy and I just wanna scream, "Stop pecking me!" Did he peck you like a chicken, Mer?

[Cristina walks into the residents lounge, where Meredith and Izzie are talking]

Morning.

[Sees her] Cristina needs me.

MMarissa

You don't know what he would have wanted. You're just like them, you're a prom queen and you're trying to act like you know what it's like for me. You have no idea what it's like.

Izzie

I wasn't a prom queen. I was the girl in the cheap clothes from the trailer park who got pregnant, and got thrown out of pregnant girls' class, and lost all my friends. None of the mothers would let their kids hang out with me. But I got through it. You will get through this.

[Izzie knocks on Meredith's door and Derek answers half naked]

Izzie

Where's Mer?

She's not here.

Izzie

Oh. So you're just in there by yourself?

I'm not. I'm--I'm waiting for her.

Izzie

Love the outfit.

What do you want?

Izzie

I need cash. I ordered a pizza and Alex owes me 20 bucks, but he's not speaking to me because I saw him crying over his crazy girlfriend and there was a minute a week ago that I actually thought he was gonna be a human being and now he won't open the door.

Run into the bathroom. Just go. Go! [Izzie hides in the bathroom] Karev! Give me a twenty.

[Alex grudgingly comes out of his room hands him a $20 note and leaves.]

Thank you. [hands the $20 to Izzie]

Izzie

That was so awesome. Very cool. Not that I didn't think you were cool before, but, you know, I did not. I kinda just thought you were all hair and... [looks at Derek's lower half] you know. Now, cool. [Derek snickers] You want to share some pizza?

[Izzie finds out that Alex "stole" her patient.]

Izzie

[seethes] You son of a bitch.

[smirks] Go cry to somebody who cares.

Izzie

This is my case. It isn't fair.

Surgery's like the Wild West. You didn't get your claim in Montana from the bank. You got it 'cause you put a fence around it and shot the ass off anyone who walked by. Karev's a cowboy. You're not.

I don't even want the credit, but the clinical trial was my idea. And I had to beg him to do it. More than once.

Izzie

It's okay you want the credit. I would want the credit.

When you screw the attendings, you get screwed. They have all the power.

Interns. You could screw interns. [everyone looks at her] I mean.... date. Residents could date interns, 'cause we're nonthreatening. I read this study once that said that interns hardly ever file sexual harassment claims because we feel so weak and powerless in the hospital environment, so that's good.

Interns. The other white meat.

Izzie

Owen Hunt is a murdering, sadistic bastard.

Let me guess. First wet lab?

Izzie

He's stabbing pigs, defenseless pigs. Or as he likes to call them, "live tissue", because god forbid you should call them animals.

He is the new head of trauma, Stevens. It may not be ideal but if that's how he does things, you should roll with it.

Izzie

We don't need live subjects. What happened to "First, do no harm"? That's not just about humans. That's about all living things.

Actually, I think it's just about humans.

Izzie

I'm saying this to you as my roommate and not my attending.

Uh-huh.

Izzie

You disgust me.

Listen. You had that heart patient and it reminded you of Denny and how bad you felt when you were lying on that bathroom floor. I get that. I get that you're scared. But you're not going to have to feel like that again. Because I'm not going to die, Izz. And I'm not gonna cheat on you, and I'm not gonna go anywhere. 'Cause, I think you're my best shot at... I think with you... you make me better. You make me wanna be better. You make me want to be good. And I think I can. With you. I think I can. So I'm not going anywhere, and you can stop hiding. And if you wanna be scared that's okay just be scared with me. Be scared while you scrub in with me for my first solo surgery. Okay?

Izzie

You love me.

Shut up. [kisses her, leaves] Solo surgery!

I'm really starting to not like that guy.

[about Derek] And he just walked out. Without saying a word, he just walked out!

Hunt won't even look at me, since he went all Apocalypse Now on me this morning.

He had to get all scalpel happy up in that patients brain, and now he can't face it!

He thinks I'm what? This wilting flower? Well guess what, I'm the strong one.

Oh my god! I'm the strong one.

You see, if I had that stomach cancer gene, I would get that gastrectomy no problem. I face things, I don't walk away.

Derek walks away. Maybe walking away is the answer?

See it's not emotional, it's science. You have a problem, don't ignore it.

Well, sometimes if you have to pee and you ignore it, it does go away.

Izzie

[laughs] You guys are hilarious! I mean do you even know what she just said? Or what she just said? [Meredith and Cristina look at each other] I can totally see you guys in 50 years, at a nursing home, just talking at each other with your hearing aids off. [laughs] Hi-larious! Ah, I love lunch.

Izzie

Maybe Cristina's right. Maybe trying to teach the interns is pointless.

Please, don't listen to Cristina. She thinks just because you'd rather teach then take out a gall bladder that you're the new me.

Izzie

Haha, O'Malley the sequel.

O'Malley 2.0.

Izzie

You read more journals and do more research, and log more hours in the skills lab than any other resident here. You never give up on trying to be a better doctor, and you don't step on other people to do it. I would be lucky to be the new you.

Get a crash cart. Izzie Stevens's room. [Cristina checks her pulse. Izzie starts laughing] What?

Izzie

Oh my god, I'm sorry. You should see your face right now, it's your totally freaking out face.

You're joking? This is a joke?

Izzie

I'm sorry. I really did need you though. Um, I have all these dresses here and I keep trying to page Meredith to come try them on and she won't answer the page. So, will you tell her to come in here. She'll listen to you.

Izzie

You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?

I bet you made a beautiful bride.

Izzie

It was a beautiful day.

You put the scarf on. I told you, you don't need it. You look gorgeous without it.

He's right.

Izzie

Go away now. Go away, I wanna be alone with my husband.

[Takes off her scarf, and kisses her forehead] My wife is hot! [Izzie giggles and smiles]

Nice ring. Alex outdid himself.

Izzie

We're gonna have beautiful kids, don't you think? Is four too many?

Four is perfect.

Izzie

Ideally it would be two boys, and two girls. One of which would definitely be a tom boy. And I was thinking I should have them pretty close together, though that might be stupid.

Why wait?

Izzie

Exactly. That way if I'm not able to practice medicine anymore...

You won't want to.

Izzie

You don't think?

Do you?

Izzie

I'm asking you. Why do you keep agreeing with everything I say?

Because I am you. I'm your tumor. You're talking to yourself.

Izzie

Right.

At least until you have surgery. If you have surgery. Are you gonna have surgery?

Izzie

If Derek cuts the tumor out I could lose my memory, and if he doesn't I can die. I don't know what to do. Alex, tell me what to do.

Iz, I can't tell you what to do.

Izzie

Of course you can, you're my husband. That's what husbands do, they stomp around telling their wives what to do. It's your job.

My job is to support whatever you wanna do.

Izzie

I don't know what I wanna do. That's why I'm asking you. OK, I have an idea. Let's put it to a vote. All in favor of the surgery.

No. We're not voting. No ones... no ones voting.

Izzie

Opposed?

I'm opposed... to voting.

Izzie

Just decide for me. Please?

You don't have to know right now. Think about it.

Izzie

I don't have time.

SSwinder

The test impaired your memory to such a degree that I have to strongly recommend you don't have the surgery.

Izzie, the test was the worst case scenario. The result has nothing to do with the surgery.

SSwinder

We don't know that.

But what I do know is that not operating is every bit as risky as the surgery itself. If not more. But, it's up to you.

Izzie

What do you think?

I think he's talking to you, not me.

I'll leave you two alone to discuss this.

Ah, I'll come with you. I have a couple of questions.

Izzie

Wait, Alex.

Think about what you want to do for a second, OK? I'll be right back. [everyone but Meredith leaves the room. Meredith closes the door]

You are not having the surgery!
