Quotes 

• Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens : I cut the L-VAD wire.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Actually, I cut the L-VAD wire.

  Dr. George O'Malley : No, I did it. I'm the one who cut the wire.

  [pause, Christina remains silent and George gives her a nudge] 

  Christina Yang : Fine. I cut the L-vad wire.

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

  [everyone starts yelling at Alex, except Dr. Webber] 

  Dr. Richard Webber : People! I know who did this so you might as well come clean. I know!

• Dr. Meredith Grey : Thank you... for calling me about Izzie.

  Dr. George O'Malley : I didn't do you any favors.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : But it meant something. That you called. It meant something to me.

  Dr. George O'Malley : It didn't mean anything.

  Dr. Meredith Grey : Right, okay. Sorry -

  Dr. George O'Malley : Stop saying you're sorry!

  [long pause] 

  Dr. George O'Malley : You wanna know something? I knew. I knew you didn't feel that way about me, even during... when we were in bed I knew. I knew and I still let it happen, because, um... well, I figured one night with you was better than never. So, will you just stop saying that you're sorry? 'Cause you didn't know any better, but I did. And I still let it happen. I'm sorry.

  [long pause] 

  Dr. George O'Malley : I'm sorry, Meredith.
