Derek and Meredith in “Take the Lead”

You did it again today in the OR.

What? I had a successful surgery today.

You refused to listen to me.

I didn't listen to you because I didn't need to listen to you. I knew what I was doing and I was right. You just couldn’t trust me.

Why should I ever trust you? Why should I trust you? You ended my trial, you set back my career, you nearly ended your own, you destroyed Richard’s. I have no reason to trust you!

Well, then, why are you with me?

[points to its post-it] Because of that! Because I meant that! I promised I wouldn’t run. I promised I would love you.

Even when you hate me.

Even when I hate you. I’m trying, Meredith. I’m trying, but you make it so damn hard.

I understand, and I don’t want you to keep the promise, not if you don’t want to, and not if you can’t trust me with our daughter.

I do, I trust you with Zola.

Well, you just said—

That’s not what I said. I know that you took her to protect her, I know you altered the trial for Adele and for Richard. You stood in front of a bullet for me. I know why you do all of it. It’s what I love about you.

And what you hate about me.

Yeah!
