Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCFavorite Alex Karev Quotes
ALEX: "Izz, It's gonna be okay."
IZZIE: You're just saying that."
ALEX: "I know. Hey, where are you going?"
IZZIE: "I can't just... I gotta do something to help. But thank you... thank you for saying it’s gonna be okay, even if that's just what you say."
DEREK: "What are our options?"
GEORGE: "MRI?"
ALEX: "Brilliant! The guy's got nails in his head! Let's put him in a giant magnet."
Her? You have nerd chub for Kepner?
(to Jackson) You've just been called a dumb blonde.
It's like the computer froze!
I'm sure she's pretty much going to go crazy or get cancer, shot by a gunman, or get hit by a truck, so don't get your hopes up Karev's big happily ever after.
Alex: Please.
Izzie: Alex.
Alex: Look, you went crazy. When Denny signed that DNR you went crazy. Is that what you want? You want me cutting LVAD's?
Izzie: No.
Alex: You wanna wreck my career? 'Cause I will, I will freakin' cut LVAD's before I let you... just... just WAIT! STOP! You don't get to quit. You don't get to quit on me. Please! Tear it up! The DNR, tear it up! (crying)
Izzie: Where your eyes are supposed to be right now, I see white sandy beaches. And there's an ocean behind your head, and there are ghosts wandering in and out. I can't live like this, and I cant live if something goes wrong in that surgery I don't want any extraordinary measures taken to keep me alive. It's not what I want. I went crazy when Denny signed the DNR because I didn't understand. I didn't understand but now I do, and I need you to understand. I don't want you to go crazy, I want you to have a brilliant career, and I hope that I get to be here for that. But, if I can't I just wanna go to the other side. I don't know what's there but it's gotta be better than hospital beds and tubes down my throat. So please, please don't cut LVAD's. Just if it comes down to it, just let me go. And right now, kiss me. Please, please just kiss me and close your eyes because the beach is so distracting.
Alex: (crying) Alright. (kisses her)
NICOLE: "I'm like the oldest living prospective college freshman not to go to first base."
ALEX: "Don't worry. There are way bigger losers than you, trust me."
Becca: How are my friends doing? Just tell me. I can take it. I mean, I can't... but I can. Did someone else die?
Alex: Why don't you tell me your speech? Your graduation speech.
Becca: I can take it.
Alex: Becca, just... just give me your speech. You worked hard on it. So, you should do it. Right now. Come on.
Becca: Today's the day my life begins. Today I become a citizen of the world. Today I become a grown up. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself and my parents. Accountable for more than my grades. Today, I become accountable to the world. To the future. To all the possibilities that life has to offer. Starting today, my job is to show up wide eyed and willing and ready. For what, I don't know. For anything. For everything. To take on life. To take on love. To take on the responsibility and possibility. Today, my friends, our lives begin. And, I for one can't wait.
MARK: "Frank, these are interns. I'm supposed to be teaching them. Apparently, this is a teaching hospital. Karev?"
ALEX: "Frank Jeffries is post op day three for pectoral enhancement surgery. There was a slight complication when a saroma formed."
MARK: [yawns] "And what is a saroma?"
IZZIE: "A build up of blood and fluid under the skin."
MARK: "And that concludes today's teaching. A tube was inserted in Mr. Jeffries' chest to drain the excess fluid. I want you to monitor him, check the tube for fluid output, change the dressing, and Dr. Stevens, I guess you can... watch."
ALEX: "Actually Dr. Stevens is an excellent doctor."
MARK: "Yeah. That's what I hear."
Izzie: You want lessons, huh?
Alex: I want lessons.
Izzie: Okay. You start with 'Isobel Stevens, you are staggeringly good in bed. You are amazingly smart, wonderfully funny, and you care about animals.'
Alex: That's where I start?
Izzie: Mmm. And then you say 'Do you wanna go steady with me?'
Alex: That's what I would say if it was 1952.
Izzie: Alex? Do you wanna go steady with me.
Alex: If that's what you want, I mean yeah, whatever.
Alex: Ok, that tastes like crap.
Izzie: Alex.
Alex: The shrimp tastes sweet and spicy. Kind of like our first date. The good part, the part before I didn't kiss you on the porch.
Izzie: Ok, nice.
Alex: The chicken, tastes like a drive to the beach with the windows down and the dog hanging out the window. Like when you're a kid. It's salty. Tastes good. But, I'd definitely vote for the shrimp if we have to choose.
Izzie: There's one more.
Alex: Ok, yeah. Yeah, that tastes like crap!
Bailey: Ok, the OR's prepped and ready. How 'bout you?
Izzie: Yeah, I'm ready. (Alex kisses her) Now, that tastes like crap.
