- Quotes
Denny Duquette: Izzie! Izzie, stop and listen to me. We're not doing this.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: Don't worry. You're not gonna die. I will be here the whole time to make sure of that. And that's what this stuff is for.
Denny Duquette: This isn't about me dying. Alright? This is wrong.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: You've waited a year and a half to get this thing. Who knows when the next one is going to come along.
Denny Duquette: I'll take my chances.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: No. It may be too late by then.
Denny Duquette: Then its too late. Alright. Now get this stuff out of here!
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: Denny, please. You have to do this.
Denny Duquette: No, Izzie! I'm not about to steal a heart from another man's chest! Not to mention, this'll be the end of your medical career.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: I don't care about my medical career.
Denny Duquette: Alright, you know what? This has gone on long enough. I'm gonna call a nurse.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: Everyone who is entered in the transplant program is clocked in to the second. To the second, Denny. You were clocked into the second and so was the other guy, I checked with UNOS. The difference between when you entered the program and when he entered the program is 17 seconds. That's it Denny. 17 seconds. I mean, its not even the length of a decent kiss. So this other guy, I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve this heart. I'm sure he does, but so do you! So do you. And if you tell me anymore crap about heading towards the light or looking down on me from heaven I swear I will kill you myself right now!
Denny Duquette: Izzie... I'm gonna be alright. Alright? You don't have to worry.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: What about me? What about me when you go to the light?
Denny Duquette: Izzie...
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: [She's beginning to cry] No, I get it! Ok? I get it! You'll be ok, you'll be fine, but what about me? So don't do it for yourself, do it for me! Please! Please Denny! Please do this for me! Because if you die, oh God, you have to do this! You have to do this for me or I'll never be able to forgive you!
Denny Duquette: For dying?
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: No! For making me love you! Please! Please do this for me, ok? Please? Ok, I can't do this if you don't! Please do this for me, cause if you don't, please?
Denny Duquette: Ok. Ok, I'll do it.
