Quotes 

• Dr. George O'Malley : What happened?

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

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Where is she?

  Nurse Olivia Harper : She's in there.

  [walk in to see Izzie lying in bed with Denny] 

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Izzie...

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : I think it was a stroke. He was prone to blood clots. A clot could have formed on his sutures and traveled to his brain, it only takes a second.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Izz...

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : 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.

  Dr. George O'Malley : There's nothing you could have done.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : 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.

  Dr. George O'Malley : Izzie, we shouldn't be in here.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Izz, there are things that they need, they need to move him.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Take him to the morgue.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : You can't stay here, I know you want to...

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Can you please, please, just get out? I want to be alone with Denny.

  Dr. Alex Karev : Izzie, that's not Denny.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Shut up.

  Dr. Alex Karev : 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.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : 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...

  [starts sobbing. Alex picks her up, cradling her, and sits down on a chair holding and rocking her while she sobs] 

• Denny Duquette : What? You like your men sick and feeble? You don't dig healthy guys?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : I dig you.

  Denny Duquette : Then why are you all swirly and twitchy?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : No I'm not.

  Denny Duquette : It's 'cause I asked you to marry me.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : So you remember that?

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

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Yeah. Denny, um, I'm giving you an out.

  Denny Duquette : Excuse me?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Well, I'm giving you an out. You thought you were dying and I was saving your life and well, you know, it was so

  [gasp] 

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : . We can't get married. I mean that would be 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...

  Denny Duquette : Okay, it's my turn now.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : But I need to...

  Denny Duquette : 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] 

  Denny Duquette : 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 damned 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.

• Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : [to Webber, with teary eyes]  It was me. I cut his LVAD wire. I did it, no one helped me. And now... I thought I was a surgeon, but, I am not, so I quit.

  Dr. Miranda Bailey : Izzie...

  [George tries to block her from walking off. She walks around him. He and Alex follow her down the stairs] 

• Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : [one on one meeting with the Chief]  I'm a pretty girl.

  Dr. Richard Webber : What?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : I'm not being arrogant, it's just, it's just kind of a fact. For a long time I made a career from my looks, so I get it, I'm a pretty girl. And not in a "from a certain angle" way, in an obvious way. It's the blonde thing and the big boobs thing, big boobs are a key to obvious pretty if you know what I'm saying.

  Dr. Richard Webber : Dr. Stevens.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : It's how men see me. I'm not a smart girl or an interesting girl, I'm a pretty girl. The blonde and the boobs, it confuses guys into thinking that I'm someone else. And I'm used to it. And I'm used to them walking away when they realize... but then Denny goes and asks me to marry him.

  Dr. Richard Webber : Is that why you cut the wires?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : He doesn't make me feel like I'm a pretty girl. He makes me feel like, like me. I think he might know me. And so, if I did cut the LVAD wire, and I'm not saying that I did, but if I did, then no, I don't feel guilty. And I know that I should. And I would if it were anybody else's. But I can't feel anything but happy.
