Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCFavorite Izzie Stevens Quotes
Izzie: YAY! Oh, that's the one!
Bailey: Very dapper Dr. Shepherd.
Derek: You're serious about this? It's not some cruel joke?
Izzie: You look fantastic. He looks fantastic right?
Meredith: Yeah.
Cristina: Whatever.
Alex: Yeah.
George. Yeah.
Izzie: You should see the bridesmaid dresses. Awh, and the flowers! They're being delivered at 5. I had to pay extra for them to decorate the church, but, Derek gave me his credit card. Told me to do what I had to do. So... It's gonna be perfect.
Alex: How's her blood pressure?
Bailey: Within normal limits.
Alex: And her incision site?
Bailey: Ah, as expected 2 weeks after surgery.
Alex: Well, she just got of the IL2 8 hours ago. I mean, she could still have...
Izzie: Her mets are gone, her blood pressures fine. Her incision doesn't hurt, she's doing well. It's wedding day! And, I'm going to the wedding. I'm a bridesmaid... I'm going! Right Bailey?
Bailey: I said you could go.
Izzie: Wedding day! Up top Alex (puts her hand up for a high five)
Alex: (Kisses her on the forehead) I'll check on you later.
Izzie: Come on, don't leave me hangin Bailey. Wedding day!
Bailey: Wedding day! (high fives Izzie, and rolls her eyes)
Izzie: You just did that 'cause I have cancer. You didn't mean it!
Bailey: True.
Izzie: (Touches her head, and pulls out strands of hair) My hair's starting to fall out.
Denny: You still look good.
Izzie: I know what this means. You being here.
Denny: I'm sorry.
Izzie: I'm still going to the wedding.
Derek: You paged me?
Izzie: Yes. Did you get the cheque for the caterers, and the cash tips for the waiters?
Derek: Yes.
Izzie: Ah, did you write your vows?
Derek: Not yet, I will.
Izzie: Derek, you have to write your vows. What you say to Meredith, on this day, it's important. She'll remember it for the rest of her life.
Derek: Yeah, Izzie, I have patients. So, if you paged me to talk about the wedding I...
Izzie: That's not why I paged you.
Derek: I have a craniotomy to get to.
Izzie: He's back. Denny, he's back.
Derek: I'll page Dr. Bailey and we'll order an...
Izzie: An MRI. I know the drill.
Bailey: It could be anything. It could be scar tissue.
Izzie: It's a tumor.
Bailey: You don't know that.
Izzie: Denny Duquette is standing right behind you. It's a tumor. Right Denny?
Denny: Yeah. It's good to see you Dr. Bailey.
Izzie: You can't see him because you don't have a tumor. But, he says hi.
Bailey: Tell Denny Duquette I said go home.
Izzie: It's a tumor.
Bailey: Wait and see.
Derek: Look.
Izzie: I'm looking, But, I don't see anything.
Derek: Because there's nothing there. The scan's clean.
Bailey: I told you.
Izzie: Then why is Denny back? The man's a hallucination, that means there has to be something there.
Bailey: Izzie, if it's clear then...
Izzie: I wanna go to this wedding. I wanna watch the bride walk down the aisle. I wanna hear the vows. I wanna catch the bouquet. I planned this wedding down to the very last detail. It's the perfect wedding. This wedding, is perfect. You know how much I wanna be there. So why would I tell you about Denny? Today of all days, why wouldn't I just wait? Denny is back. That means something is there.
Bailey: It's not like we can just map the brain for hallucinations the way we do with seizures.
Derek: Wait a minute. What are hallucinations?
Izzie: Hallucinations are neurons firing in the brain.
Derek: Exactly.
Bailey: Why?
Derek: Well, it's never been done before. But if, if we can somehow induce your hallucination, there's a chance we could pick it up on an EEG. Then, we could pin point the part of the brain that's hallucinating.
Bailey: Ok, as you know you have stage 4 metastatic melanoma. You have a lot of surgeries, and a lot of procedures lined up for you over the next few weeks.
Richard: We've seen evidence of METS on your liver, so one of those surgeries Dr. Bailey and I will resect them. We also lined up Dr. Parker from OB to harvest as many healthy eggs as she can before you undergo any radiation.
Izzie: Right. Babies.
Bailey: Just leaving the option open for you if you want it.
Derek: But our priority today is to address the temporal lobe METS on your brain. I'm surprised we didn't catch it sooner. This kind of thing can cause headaches, seizures and intense hallucinations. But, hopefully the legion has a clear margin so I can remove it all.
Great, lets get started.
Cristina: You blew it off?
Izzie: Cristina, please.
Cristina: I called every favor I had in this hospital, and then some. Swindler's is the best Oncological surgeon in the state. Why didn't you go?
Izzie: Why do you care so much?
Cristina: Why don't you? I'm working really hard on this, the least you could do is...
Izzie: They were calling the guy blow hole Cristina. Not just the interns, Alex. What are they gonna call me when I'm the patient? Swiss cheese for brains?
Cristina: No, that's awkward and long. Blow hole's pithy.
Cristina: Iz, no we need to talk about it. You've been complaining about being really backed up, and I got you an appointment.
Alex: If you need an enema that bad, maybe you shouldn't have all these fries. (steals some of Izzie's fries)
Meredith: You really booked her an appointment for an enema?
Cristina: You can't just ay that you're all backed up and then just sit there Izzie. If you make the decision to get an enema, then you should get an enema.
Alex: I think that maybe you're the one that's backed up. Solo surgery panic? I tell you what, I'll scrub in with you and if you can't handle it, I'll take over.
Cristina: I, I don't, ok. You know what, I'm just saying enema's can be a serious business.
George: Ok, Izzie, enema's code for what?
Izzie: My enema, my business.
Cristina: Ah, 15 minutes!
Meredith: This is a really strange day.
Swinder: You wanna remove her hippocampus?
Derek: One of them. It's a common procedure for seizure patients
Swinder: Moving her hippocampus could compromise her memory, her speech, she wouldn't be able to practice medicine anymore.
Derek: I have performed this surgery hundreds of times.
Swinder: On cancer patients?
Derek: No. But it's...
Izzie: If you do the surgery I could lose my memory?
Derek: It's unlikely but it's possible.
Izzie: And, if you don't do the surgery...
Swinder: We could shrink the tumor with IL2.
Izzie: If the tumor doesn't kill me first.
Derek: Why take the chance?
Swinder: Have you even done a WADA test to see how her memory would be affected?
Derek: Putting her brain to sleep and asking her to remember a bunch of flash cards is not an accurate assessment of the post surgical outcome.
Swinder: But, it would tell us whether or not she could function afterwards. And, as Dr. Stevens primary physician...
Derek: Fine I'll do it. It's unnecessary but...
Swinder: The surgery is unnecessary.
Derek: The tumor is already symptomatic, she's having hallucinations.
Denny: Nice ring. Alex outdid himself.
Izzie: We're gonna have beautiful kids. Is 4 too many?
Denny: 4 is perfect.
Izzie: Ideally it would be 2 boys, and 2 girls. One of which would definitely be a tom boy. And I was thinking I should have them pretty close together, though that might be stupid.
Denny: Why wait?
Izzie: Exactly. That way if I'm not able to practice medicine anymore...
Denny: You won't want to.
Izzie: You don't think?
Denny: Do you?
Izzie: I'm asking you. Why do you keep agreeing with everything I say?
Denny: Because I am you. I'm your tumor. You're talking to yourself.
Izzie: Right.
Denny: At least until you have surgery. If you have surgery. Are you gonna have surgery?
