did you say it?

I'm Isobel Stevens, but you can call me Izzie. I'm a surgeon and I am a person who becomes emotionally involved.

It's been a long day and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little sore

I could really go for a massage.

I guess a few painkillers will have to suffice

All this Valentine's Day stuff

[jenna-baxter]

The way I see it the only good thing about the holidays are the sales that follow. You know, every time I see them hanging off each other I just really want to walk right through them.

Yeah, but with those mattresses I think the floor is a step up. Did they at least change the sheets?

[izkatstevens]

Ooh, sales- you just reminded me. I have to stop by the drugstore after work. Gotta get my hands on all the marked-down Valentine's Day candy before it's all gone. Wanna join me?

I would like to think they changed the sheets, but I wasn't willing to risk it. The floor was sufficient.

I’ll buy some and we can drown ourselves in tequila and bad movies.

She poisoned her husband? Why?

[izkatstevens]

Sounds good to me! I'll swing by the drugstore after my shift ends. I have a prescription to fill and I'm sure they'll have a ton of half-priced Valentine's Day chocolate. 

Something about how she's given the best years of her life to him and gotten nothing in return? I don't know. The lady was nuts.

It sounds like you need some tequila, Iz.

Luckily I hate Valentine’s Day and I can’t work because of that stupid earthquake, so i’ll join you.

[izkatstevens]

I could definitely use some tequila.

You didn't miss much. Lots of candle-related burn injuries, a few peanut allergies... Oh, and some woman poisoned her husband at dinner. Then she felt bad, because it was Valentine's Day, so she called an ambulance. That was... well, that was something.

All this Valentine's Day stuff

[jenna-baxter]

I don’t know, I’m loving the chocolate. I could do without the rest of the crap, though.

[izkatstevens]

I usually love holidays. Even the made-up ones. But there's something about being alone on Valentine's Day, something about watching all the happy couples parade around professing their love...

I went into an on-call room today, looking to catch up on just a half-hour of sleep, and what do I find? Loose rose petals under the pillow. I guess one lucky pair didn't clean up as well as they thought they had... I slept on the floor.

All this Valentine's Day stuff

The roses, the chocolates....

It makes me sick.

Alex: The most sexual vegetable ever made.

Izzie: Just for that, you don't get any. Not even a little grape tomato.

Izzie: Jerkface.

Izzie: I'm mostly kidding. Just hurry up or I'm gonna finish this salad before you even get here.

Alex: ...r00d.

Alex: I'm just gonna sit there silently, and watch you eat. This'll be fun.

Izzie: If you play your cards right, there might be a cucumber in your future.

Izzie: Just maybe.

Alex: If you aren't already dead. I'm gonna find you.

Alex: And I'm gonna kill you myself.

Alex: Because you're a big dumbass.

Alex: You should be resting. You face dived the staircase, you doofus.

Izzie: I was gonna share my salad with you. But since you're a big jerk, you can't have any.

Izzie: And I am resting. I'm sitting and I'm eating. I am completely zen.

Alex: Some intern threw you in a bed? With no paperwork? Nothing??

Alex: No. Shut up. Where are you? You don't know your body any more than I know how to be romantic. You would have trashed your body long ago, if it weren't for me... If you don't recall.

Alex: Where are you? I swear to God, Iz.

Izzie: He's an intern, Alex, in the middle of a crisis. Leave it be.

Izzie: Don't even start with me, Alex, I do not have it in me. I just wanted to know if you were okay.

Izzie: I'm fine, really. I'm in the tunnels, trying to enjoy my salad because this is the first chance I've gotten to eat all day.

Alex: Shit.

Alex: What the fuck. That isn't 'no biggie'. Who authorized you to be working? Did you get checked out by the neuro-nerds?

Izzie: I wasn't admitted. Some intern found me and put me in a bed until I woke up. I didn't tell anyone else and I'm trusting that you won't either.

Izzie: I'm a doctor, Alex. Not a moron. I know my body and I'm fine.

[izkatstevens]

Alex: And you're okay?

Izzie: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Izzie: I mean, I took a header down the stairs. And unlike you, I did pass out. An intern prescribed me some pain meds and I was on my way. No biggie.

Alex: Got a fabulous clonckeroo to the back of my head. But hey, I didn't pass out and I was a freakin' hero.

Alex: Saved a life.

Alex: A tiny life.

Alex: But a life.

Izzie: Being a hero has its price.

Izzie: I'm really glad you're alright.

Alex: I'm also a lil doped up.

Izzie: What I am asking is: what the hell happened to you!?

Alex: I'm dandy.

Alex: Just dandy.

Izzie: "Dandy?" Who are you and what have you done with Alex?

Izzie: The Alex I know would only use the word "dandy" if he was being sarcastic. Which, in that case, means you are not fine.

Izzie: I've been working the ER all day and I've just finally got a second to myself. Are you okay!?
