[voiceover] In the OR, time loses all meaning. In the midst of sutures, and saving lives the clock ceases to matter. 15 minutes, 15 hours — inside the OR, the best surgeons make time fly. Outside the OR, however, time takes pleasure in kicking our asses. For even the strongest of us it seems to play tricks. Slowing down... hovering... until it freezes. Leaving us stuck in a moment — unable to move in one direction or the other.

[pause, glances around] Why are you all looking at me?
Well, this is familiar territory for you.
There is nothing familiar abut this! Unfamiliar! Denny died. The man she loves, died.
Yeah, but you're all dark and twisty inside.
Dark and twisty?
What, with the Alzheimers thing and the father you don't talk to.
And the tequila thing and the inappropriate men thing.
You are dark and twisty inside, Meredith, and now Izzie is dark and twisty inside.
So all of a sudden I'm the president of people with crappy lives?
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.
[to Meredith] I'm in love with you. I've been in love you with you forever. I'm a little late- I know I'm a little late in telling you that. I just, I just want you take your time, you know? Take all the time you need because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make... I chose wrong.
[voiceover] Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.
