- 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.
My mommy's a filthy whore.

I think you're taking some risks. I think you'll find yourself in some guy's basement being ordered to put the lotion on the skin or you'll get the hose again.

- Dr. Callie Torres: Hey, I've got a plan to stop George. Are you in?
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: Stop George from what?
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: He joined the army.
[Looks at Callie]
- Dr. Miranda Bailey: Yes I'm in.
[Walks away]
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: Bailey, no I'm talking to you.
[Turns to Callie]
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: Why are you trying to stop him?
- Dr. Callie Torres: Because he joined the army.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: And?
- Dr. Callie Torres: And because he's my ex-husband. And because I know his mom, and I love his mom, and normally Izzy would talk sense to him, but she's got cancer and kind of a bad mental deficient so it's on me to stop him.
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: Why would you wanna stop him?
- Dr. Callie Torres: Because he joined the army, don't you think that's a problem?
- Dr. Arizona Robbins: I think that's awesome.
- Dr. Callie Torres: Awesome!
[Walks away]
- 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.

I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself.

- 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?
[after a one-night stand with Derek Shepherd] Look, I'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower, ok? And when I get back down here, you won't be here.
