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] 

• Dr. Richard Webber : [one on one meeting with Cristina]  I know your type. You're a surgical junkie.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Yes, sir.

  Dr. Richard Webber : I'm just saying, it's not going to be easy for you to be away from the OR that long.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : No, sir.

  Dr. Richard Webber : And if you want to get back to the OR, you're gonna tell me what I need to know aren't you.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : You're right, it's not easy for me to be away from the OR. And it's not easy for me to sit in front of you, or any other authority figure for that matter, and not be able to give you the exact answer that you want to hear. I'm the one with the answers. I've always been the one with the answers. But right now sir, I don't have any.

  Dr. Richard Webber : Dr. Yang.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : How do you keep your edge sir? Because I've watched you and you've been doing this a long time and you're clean, you're focused, you are the job, nothing gets to you. And the thing is sir, I was like that, until I got here. Until I actually started doing this job and now everything is, is fuzzy and...

  Dr. Richard Webber : That's beside the point.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : No see sir, this is the point. Because I can't tell you, I can't tell you what happened in that room. And before I could have, no guilt, no loyalties, no problem. Before, before I wouldn't have even been in that room. I wouldn't have gotten involved. I would have never frozen in surgery. And I would have told him what I thought he should do. I had an edge, sir. I had an edge and I've lost it, and I need it. I need it back. So, if you could just tell me, how you keep yours and how not to be affected, I know I could be a great surgeon. So if you could just give me the answers, I would really appreciate it.

  Dr. Richard Webber : You're excused Dr. Yang.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : But...

  Dr. Richard Webber : You're excused.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : I'll tell you, I'll tell you who cut the LVAD wires if you'll please...

  Dr. Richard Webber : No you won't, I don't wanna know. Not from you. Yeah, I have the answers, but I can't tell them to you. I'm not going to be responsible for you becoming less human.

• Dr. Cristina Yang : I didn't like teenage girls when I was a teenage girl.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : I wore a lot of black.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Ooh.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Had the whole angry pink hair thing going on. Wouldn't have been caught dead at a prom.

  Dr. Cristina Yang : My mother made me go. My date barfed on my dress and then tried to feel me up.
