Burke, Addison and others in “Didn't We Almost Have It All?”

Burke

Cristina; I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say 'til death do us part', but I won't. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here on my wedding day optimistic or full of hope.

Addison

Okay, um...

Burke

I am not optimistic, I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. And I know I am a heart man, take them apart, put them back together. I hold them in my hands. I am a heart man. So this, I am sure. You are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart, my heart, beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you, me.

Burke

Too trite? Because I can rewrite it.

Izzie

No, no it's...

Addison

I think I speak for every woman in this room when I say... dump her. Dump Yang and marry me. [They all laugh.]
