[voiceover]

Meredith: Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive.

George: Family...

Cristina: Love...

Izzie: Sex.

Derek: But we only need one thing...

Burke: To actually be alive.

Cristina: We need a beating heart.

Addison: When our heart is threatened...

Alex: we respond in one of two ways.

George: We either run or...

Izzie: we attack.

Chief: There's a scientific term for this:

Alex: Fight...

Addison: or flight.

Bailey: It's instinct...

Meredith: We can't control it.

Izzie: Or can we?

Bailey: How you feeling, Denny?

Denny: Really, really good. Like an athlete or a superhero or some other really, really healthy person.

Izzie: You're funny. You're a funny guy.

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

Izzie: I... I dig you.

Denny: Then why are you all swirly and twitchy?

Izzie: No, I'm not.

Denny: Yeah. You are swirly and twitchy. It's 'cause I asked you to marry me.

Izzie: So you remember that?

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

Izzie: Yeah. Look, Denny, um, I'm giving you an out.

Denny: Excuse me?

Izzie: I'm giving you an out. I mean... You thought you were dying and I was saving your life and well, you know, it was so [gasp]. So, I wont hold it against you or be hurt or offended if you wanna take your proposal back... I'm giving you an out.

Denny: I don't wanna an out.

Izzie: You should take the out. [laughs nervously] We can't get married. I mean, that would be crazy, 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: Ok, it's my turn now.

Izzie: But I need to . . .

Denny: 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] 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. And do everything in between with. I get a choice now. I get to choose. I choose you, Izzie Stevens. Okay, it's your turn again.

Bailey: Anything I can get for you, Dr. Burke?

Burke: No, I'm fine.

Bailey: There, there must be something.

Burke: It would be nice to have some ice chips. And, uh, a touch of morphine if I'm allowed. And, uh, [pause] Cristina.

Bailey: Coming right up. [She starts to walk out of the room] Where is Cristina? Where are, where are all my suck-ups?

Burke: Excuse me?

Bailey: My interns. My ass-kissing, surgery-hungry, competitive suck-ups. Where are they? Why aren’t they here fetching you ice chips and morphine? Why aren't they here sucking up? [pause] You know something.

Burke: I'm a patient.

Bailey: Preston Xavier Burke, what have you done with my suck-ups?!

Izzie: I cut the LVAD wire.

Meredith: Actually, I cut the LVAD wire.

George: No, I did. I'm the one who cut the wire. [Pause] [elbows Cristina]

Cristina: Fine, I cut the LVAD wire.

Alex: I didn't do anything, I'm totally innocent...

Cristina, George, Meredith, Izzie: [all at once] Alex! - That’s not the point. - What about loyalty?

Chief: PEOPLE! I know who did this, so you might as well come clean. I know!

George: With all due respect, sir, if you knew you wouldn't be asking us.

Izzie: I did it-. (gets cut off by Meredith)

Meredith: You have your suspicions, but you don't actually know.

Cristina: Not for sure.

George: And you can't do anything to any of us without proof, sir.

Chief: Well, one of you compromised a patient's life. One of you stole an organ. One of you jeopardized the integrity of this hospital and of UNOS. Now you tell me and you tell me right now. [Silence] Alright, fine. [They start to leave] No surgeries.

Cristina: Sir?

Chief: No one scrubs in, no one watches from the galleries, no one so much as goes near the OR floor. Until someone confesses, you will share a single patient: Camille Travis. Whatever she wants, the five of you will provide it. Get the hell out of my sight.

Cristina: There's only three careers I've ever wanted. Ruler of my own planet, Wonder Woman, or a surgeon. I don't see any invisible planes or extra countries lying around.

Cristina: Hey! We stick together, we all did this. Nobody's a victim. We stick together. [Surprised looks from everyone] Dammit.

Izzie: Thank you.

Cristina: You're welcome.

George: [to Bailey out in the hall] Not to bother you, but...

Bailey: What? Alright, one of you better spit out the problem right now.

Alex: The problem is the colors and the balloons and the Under the Sea. No it's Titanic. Hey, let's go with Tears in Heaven. No, that’s too morbid. It should be pink. It should be red. It should be a freaking rainbow!

George: What he's saying is that we're very, very hopeful that you speak teenage girl.

Bailey: [back in the room with the high school girls] Silver and white. It's mystical and magical without being over the top. Ever seen Fashion Week in New York? Lots of silver and white runways and backdrops. That’s because no matter what color the clothes are, they pop.

High School Girls: They pop?

Bailey: They pop! O'Malley and Karev, get 500 balloons in silver and white. 100 in black, shiny black not the matte. Yang, stick with Camille, keep her happy, keep her spirits up. Grey, get with Patricia, make sure we can rope off the second floor nurses' station and the waiting room. [They’re all looking at her, in shock] Oh, no no, you don't get to look at me like that. No, you compromised my medical license, you nearly killed a patient, lied to the chief of surgery, and made me, your resident, look bad, we're gonna do this prom and we're doing it right!
