Jane Burke: Would you mind if I borrowed your young intern for a quick cup of coffee? I’ll bring her right back.Derek: Oh, no problem. Dr. Grey can cover for Cristina.
Meredith: I’m sorry?
Cristina: Uh, Dr. Grey is very busy, she has charts to do for Dr. Bailey. (to Derek) Bailey’s on the warpath. (turns back to Mrs. Burke) It’s not the German warpath. More of like a hospital warpath-

Derek: This is a change. From the elevator. A little bit more public I like that.
Meredith: You're married. You're married and you said things to me.
Derek: Yes. I said things to you.
Meredith: Normally I would like the things you said to me. Normally I would even think the bulletin board thing was funny.
Derek: Bulletin board thing? What are you talking about?
Meredith: But you're married. Which makes none of this normal. It makes me a homewrecker and I hate the fact that I'm a homewrecker.
Derek: Meredith. I'm not going to pressure you. Take all the time you need. Just so you have all the information. But my home was wrecked way before you came into the picture. I am just now done trying to rebuild it.
Meredith: You're done.
Derek: I'm done, whatever you decide. I'm ending it with Addison today.
Meredith: You have said this before.
Derek: I know but this time I mean it. I'm gonna come clean just as soon as I see her.
Meredith: You are?
Derek: I am.
[Derek leans in and they almost kiss, but Callie walks in. ]

Derek: Finn.
Finn: Derek.
Meredith: Thanks for coming, both of you. Thanks for coming. So here's the thing. [to Finn] I like you. [to Derek] And I like you. And I thought I had a choice to make. I thought I had to decide. But I think I owe myself the chance to consider my options.
Derek and Finn: Options?
Meredith: There's this thing that allows for the considering of options. In the olden days, they called it dating.
Derek: Dating?
Meredith: Yes, I'd like to try that.
Derek: You wanna try dating?
Meredith: Yes.
Finn: Both of us?
Meredith: Yes. And I understand if you're not up for it. But I really hope you are.
[Meredith leaves]
Finn: You bowing out? Derek: No. You?
Finn: I don't think so.
