- Dr. George O'Malley: Do you remember when he wallpapered the hospital with pictures of you in your underwear?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Yeah. Yeah, I do.
- Dr. Alex Karev: It was before I knew you.
.
- Dr. Alex Karev: Here's the thing - I like your rack.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: God, what is wrong with you? Why do you have to be so - what is wrong with you?
- Dr. Alex Karev: 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'd want *you*.
[Izzie slaps him]
- Dr. Alex Karev: Ow! What was that for?
[She kisses him]
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [Standing in the bathroom, outside the shower, where George is] I reminded you before you went.
- Dr. George O'Malley: I forgot when I got there.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: No.
[She opens the shower door]
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: No, you were so passive aggressive!
- Dr. George O'Malley: Naked! I am naked in the shower!
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [Closes the shower door] Just tampons, George! I really needed tampons. God!
[Meredith enters the bathroom]
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I'm not riding in the same car as him.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [Looks at Izzie, who is standing in her "Hello Kitty" underwear] Unless you're going like that, you're not riding with me either. Where are the tampons?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: He didn't buy them.
- Dr. Meredith Grey: [To George] You didn't buy them?
- Dr. George O'Malley: Men don't buy tampons!
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [Opens the shower door again, and George falls over] You know what? You're gonna have to get over the whole man thing, George! We're women! We have vaginas! Get used to it!
[She walks out of the bathroom, leaving George lying on the floor of the shower]
- Dr. George O'Malley: I am not your sister!
[He slams the shower door]
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You kissed me.
- Dr. Alex Karev: Yes, I did.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Should we?... I mean, there's a discussion that we could have... if you wanted to have one?
- Dr. Alex Karev: Izzie, I kissed you, with tongue, and I plan to do it again and again - get used to it. End of discussion.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Ok.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I'm a pretty girl.
- Dr. Richard Webber: What?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I'm not being arrogant, it's just... it's just kinda a fact. For a long time I made a career for my looks, so I get it. I'm a pretty girl. And not from a certain angle way, in an obvious way. It's the blonde thing, and the big boobs thing. Big boobs are key to obvious pretty, if you know what I'm saying.
- Dr. Richard Webber: Dr. Stevens...
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: That'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 confuses guys into thinking that I'm someone else. And I'm used to it. 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 l-Vad wire, and I'm not saying 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. But I can't feel anything but happy.
- Dr. George O'Malley: This shift is a marathon, not a sprint. Eat.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I can't.
- Dr. George O'Malley: You should eat something.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You try eating after performing 17 rectal exams. The Nazi hates me.
- Dr. George O'Malley: The Nazi's a resident. I have attendings hating me.
.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You said before, *I am not your sister*. Do you feel like I was emasculating you?
- Dr. George O'Malley: No. I'm too masculine to be emasculated.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: I'm sorry.
- Dr. George O'Malley: Guess you put Dr. Model to rest?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Guess I did.
.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: [Sshe slams down the magazine] This is who I was. It has nothing to do with who I am now. I'm a physician. A surgeon! And I am just as qualified as any other intern on this floor. So you're just going to have to get over your chauvinist crap and allow me to do my job.
- Mr. Humphrey: I'm sure you're a very good doctor.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Then what is your problem?
- Mr. Humphrey: Look, I fantasized about you. About the woman in this photo, whoever she is. I'm not proud of it, but it's a fact. Do you know what they're gonna do to me today? I have cancer. And they're gonna lift up my legs and expose me to the world, and cut out my prostate, and my nerves. Effectively neuter me. So is it so hard to understand that I don't want the woman who is in that photo to witness... my emasculation?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Here, my share of the grocery money. When are you going?
- Dr. George O'Malley: Tonight.
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Okay. Seriously, George. Please don't...
- Dr. George O'Malley: Yeah, could we not talk about it here?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: What? Tampons?
- Dr. George O'Malley: Did you not hear a word I said?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: You're a man, we know.
[everyone in the room starts to laugh]
- Dr. Alex Karev: Talk about shrinking the salamander.
.
- Dr. George O'Malley: I don't think you understand. Me - gonads! You - ovaries!
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Oh, that reminds me. We are out of tampons.
- Dr. George O'Malley: You're parading through the bathroom in your underwear, while I'm naked in the shower!
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Will you add it to your list, please?
- Dr. George O'Malley: What?
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: Tampons!
- Dr. Meredith Grey: To the list. It's your turn.
- Dr. George O'Malley: I am a man! I don't buy girl products. I don't want to see you walking in while I'm in the shower. And I don't wanna see you in your underwear!
- Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens: It doesn't bother me, okay? Look at me in my underwear, George. Take your time, it's no big deal.
