Quotes 

• Denny Duquette : What? You like your men sick and feeble? You don't dig healthy guys?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : I dig you.

  Denny Duquette : Then why are you all swirly and twitchy?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : No I'm not.

  Denny Duquette : It's 'cause I asked you to marry me.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : So you remember that?

  Denny Duquette : It's not the kind of thing I'd forget.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Yeah. Denny, um, I'm giving you an out.

  Denny Duquette : Excuse me?

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : Well, I'm giving you an out. You thought you were dying and I was saving your life and well, you know, it was so

  [gasp] 

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : . We can't get married. I mean that would be insane. We should date, and have sex. Plenty of sex. You know when your heart gets better and you're out of the hospital, all the sex you can handle. But marriage is, um, marriage...

  Denny Duquette : Okay, it's my turn now.

  Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : But I need to...

  Denny Duquette : No, no. We're taking turns. I've decided. It's polite and it keeps me from yelling. When it's your turn again, you can talk.

  [pause] 

  Denny Duquette : For five years, I've had to live by the choices of my doctors. The guys that cut me open decided my life, there wasn't one choice that was mine. And now, I have this heart that beats and works. I get to be like everybody else, I get to make my own decisions, have my own life, do whatever the damned hell I choose. Now here's the good part, so you listen close. What I choose is you. You're who I want to wake up with and go to bed with and do everything in between with. I get a choice now. I get to choose. I choose you, Izzie Stevens. Ok, it's your turn again.
