George: Izzie, why aren't you picking up your phone? You need to pick up your phone. I just talked to Callie and...
Meredith: George!
George: I gotta find Izzie.
Meredith: We have rounds in five minutes.
George: Right after I find Izzie.
(later, as he rushes past Meredith again..)
Meredith: Rounds.
George: Still can't find Izzie.
Meredith: I'm gonna have to put you in the clinic if you miss rounds.
George: Oh, the clinic!
(George rushes into the clinic)
George: Have you seen Dr. Stevens?
Bailey: Check the pit.
George: Right.
(and then at the ER..)
George: Lexie! Sorry. Uh, have you seen Dr. Stevens?
Lexie: No. Have you seen Dr. Yang?
George: No.
Richard: O'Malley, what's the hurry?
George: Sorry, I can't talk, chief.
(George runs into a cart)
Richard: O'Malley?
George: I...sorry, I...I just gotta find Izzie.
Richard: She's at the third floor nurses' station.
George: Oh. Thanks.
Richard: Oh, and...and when you find her, tell her Dr. Torres is looking or her.
(George looks scared and runs off again)
George: Pick up your phone. What kind of doctor doesn't pick up their phone?
Izzie: Now I know charting doesn't seem as exciting as surgery, but it is every bit as important. Believe me when I tell you, people, penmanship saves lives. Is that a 7 or is that a 9? If I have to ask myself that question in the middle of an emergency, your patient is dead. You killed him with your handwriting. Think about that.
(Callie walks up)
Izzie: Callie. Hey. Hi.
Callie: We have to talk.
Izzie: Okay. Um, about?
Callie: George told me.
Izzie: He told you?
Callie: Everything. Cafeteria, noon, you and me. Be there.
Intern: Dude, is she gonna kick her ass?
Izzie: She forgave you?
George: She said I had a rough year, that people make mistakes, and that...that I made a mistake.
Izzie: Oh, so now I'm a mistake?
Izzie: (to her interns) Back off!
George: No, she said that. I didn't say that.
Izzie: What did you say?
George: Um, I didn't expect her to forgive me. I expected...rage, uh, bloodshed.
Izzie: No, she's saving all her rage and bloodshed for me. She's gonna kill me in the cafeteria at lunch.
George: No, she wouldn't.
Izzie: She breaks bones for a living, George. She's crazy.
George: No, she's not crazy.
Izzie: Well, she is if she thinks I'm not gonna put up a fight.
Alex: So what's it gonna be, Stevens gets her bones broken or Torres gets taken to the trailer park?
Izzie: Neither. It's not happening. But if it does, will you pull her off me?
Alex: You gonna tell me what you did to her?
Izzie: You have to promise not to say anything to anybody. Swear.
Alex: I swear. Jeez.
Izzie: I slept with George. I know. I'm a terrible person. Which is why I'm gonna let her get one good punch in. Maybe two. I deserve it. No, one. Then you pull her off me.
Alex: You slept with O'Malley?
Izzie: Alex, you just said you wouldn't say anything.
Alex: I won't, believe me. This...I'm embarrassed for you.
Izzie: You guys seen Callie?
Meredith: No. Is it time for her to grind your bones into dust?
Izzie: You don't think I can take her?
Meredith: Are you guys really doing this?
Izzie: You heard?
Meredith: The whole hospital heard.
Izzie: Yeah, well, that explains the line at the salad bar.
Meredith: Well, what are you fighting about?
Alex: Believe me, you don't want to know.
Izzie: Alex.
Alex: I'm just saying, whatever it is, it's not worth it.
Izzie: Actually, it is. Some things are worth fighting for.
Lab Tech: O'Malley.
George: Picking up repeat labs for Ruthie Sayles.
Lab Tech: So who's your money on, O'Malley? Guess you gotta back the wife, huh?
George: What? What are you talking about?
Lab Tech: The fight downstairs. Torres vs. Stevens. What are they fighting about anyway?
George: Oh, that's just a rumor. It's not happening. Callie is way too mature for that.
Lab Tech: That's not what my buddy in the cafeteria just said.
(George takes off at a run)
Lab Tech: O'Malley, your labs!
George: Gotta go! I'll be right back!
Izzie: I'm just saying, I learned how to fight in a trailer park. Okay? Where'd she learn to fight, boarding school? Not quite the same thing. I'm a street fighter. I've got some badass in me. I could take a girl down.
Meredith: Izzie.
Alex: Punch with your left. Protect your face with your right.
Cristina: No, your hands... protect your surgeon hands. Your face can heal.
Izzie: Here we go.
Callie: Stevens.
Izzie: Let's do this. Let's go. Let's go.
Callie: Go where?
Izzie: You know, go.
Callie: I wanted to talk.
Izzie: You want to talk. You don't want to kick my ass?
Callie: You thought I was gonna fight you? You...
(Callie finally realizes how many people are in the cafeteria)
Callie: Excuse me.
Intern: That's a forfeit. Torres forfeits.
Izzie: Oh, my god.
Cristina: You were very ghetto fabulous.
Izzie: Oh, my god.
George: What happened? Was there a fight?
Alex: No. Guess they realized they were fighting over nothing.
Izzie: Callie. Callie, wait. Please, wait. Please. I'm sorry...about the cafeteria. I didn't know that you wanted to talk to me. I thought you wanted to kill me. I'm sorry about everything. With George, I...I'm really sorry. I feel terrible.
Callie: You feel terrible? You took advantage. He was your best friend. I tried to trust you...so much, I had convinced myself that it was all in my head, that I was crazy. But I wasn't, was I? And then you pull that thing in the cafeteria today? It's not bad enough that you humiliate me by getting in bed with my husband. You have to humiliate me at work, too. George might be the one that broke his vows, but you...we're women, Izzie. You did this to another woman. You...took something from me. You stole something from me like a petty little thief. You are the one who should be humiliated. You are the one who should be ashamed. You are the one who should... don't you dare come to me for forgiveness, you traitorous b*tch.
Izzie: What, I'm invisible now?
Alex: What do you want?
Izzie: So you hate me now, too. Well, join the club.
Alex: You and O'Malley? O'Malley!
Izzie: What? What is it that I did that is so horrifying? I fell in love, Alex.
Alex: He's married.
Izzie: Yeah, so? You're carrying a big ol' torch for Ava or Jane Doe or whatever it is that you call her, and she's married. So what gives you the right to judge what I do? Why do you even care?
Alex: You told me you weren't ready yet...after Denny... to be with anyone. And then O'Malley? O'Malley. And then you tell me like I'm one of your chick friends. Come on.
George: Callie...you can't...just forgive me. What I did to you...is unforgivable.
Callie: That's how it works. That's what "I forgive you" means.
George: No, see, I...I think it means you don't forgive me. I...you don't know how to talk to me right now. I mean, look, you don't...you can't even look at me. You're so angry that...I think the only way you can deal with me is to say you forgive me and...what, we pretend it didn't happen?
I...it happened. And you don't forgive me.
Callie: You're right. I don't.
I really disliked Alex and Callie in this episode. Callie was hurting and I get that - but her speech rubbed me the wrong way considering I thought it was her fault more than Izzie's that the cafeteria scene happened. And Alex - he has good moments with George (see Joseba's icon) but I hate when he acts like it's a totally unbelievable thing that a woman would want George.
But enough of that... I loved George racing around everywhere to desperately find Izzie, and my favourite line of the episode I think is Izzie's "Actually it is. (worth it) Some things are worth fighting for." |
