Derek:
Meredith...
Meredith:
No, you know let's go, we gotta go. We gotta run to city hall, we'll come back, you'll check on Izzie, we'll monitor John Doe, I'll go talk George out of joining the army!
Derek:
Look, we can do this another day-
Meredith:
There is no other day! Everyday is like this, everyday there's a crisis, there's no time.
Derek:
Meredith...
Meredith:
I love you and I do want to marry you, today. But there is no time.
Derek:
[Cups her face with his hands] Do you have a piece of paper?
Meredith:
For what?
Derek:
I want to be with you forever. And you want to be with me forever. In order to do that, we need to make vows. A commitment. A contract. Give me, a piece of paper.
Meredith:
I don't! I-I-I don't... I have post-its. [Hands him posts-its and a pen. Derek goes and sits on the bench]
Derek:
Okay... what do we want to promise each other?
Meredith:
That you'll love me, even when you hate me.
Derek:
To love each other... even when we hate each other. [writes it down on the post-its] No running. Ever. Nobody walks out. [Meredith joins him on the benches] No matter what happens.
Meredith:
No running.
Derek:
What else?
Meredith:
That we'll take care of each other even when we're old and smelly and senile. And... if I get Alzheimer's and I forget you...
Derek:
I will you remind you who I am, every day. [They smile at each other] To take care when old, senile, smelly. This is forever. [Derek finishes writing on the post-it, then gives it and the pen to Meredith] Sign.
Meredith:
This is our wedding? A post-it?
Derek:
Mhmm. Well, if you sign it. [Meredith signs it happily and then hands it back to Derek]
Meredith:
Now what?
Derek:
Now, I kiss the bride. [He kisses her tenderly. Meredith's smiling as they kiss. Then Derek slowly pulls back]
Meredith:
Married.
Derek:
Married. [Derek puts the post-it note with their vows and signatures on the back of her cubby, then turns to her] You see that? Plenty of time.
