Sandra Oh: Dr. Cristina Yang

Quotes 

• Dr. Cristina Yang : [to Bailey and Alex as she is preparing for surgery]  Izzie has stage 4 metastatic melanoma that has spread to her brain, liver and skin. She may only have months to live and she's resisting treatment. She needs help.

  [sighs] 

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Scalpel.

• Dr. Izzie Stevens : [to Cristina]  I don't even know if I want treatment, Cristina. I know too much. I know how violent surgery can be. They're gonna cut into my brain. They're gonna slice open my abdomen and pull my organs out, and for what? Surgery fails all the time. Derek Shepherd is in the fricking woods right now because we fail all the time! And even if they do everything right, I have a five percent chance of survival. Five percent! Why would I put myself through hell, run poison through my veins and radiate my brain if it's not gonna work anyway?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : Why did you tell me, then? If you don't want my help and you're not gonna do anything about it, why did you tell me?

  Dr. Izzie Stevens : Just keep your mouth shut. Forget I ever told you anything.

  [walks out] 

• Intern Pierce : [walks over to Meredith and Cristina with a black eye]  Lab results for the splenectomy.

  [walks off] 

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Do we ask?

  Dr. Cristina Yang : No, 'cause he might tell us.
