Flashback scene in Joe's bar
Derek: Double scotch, single malt please. [To Meredith] So, is this a good place to hang out?
Meredith: I wouldn't know, never been here before.
Derek: You know what? I haven't either. First time here. I'm new in town. Never been to Seattle. New job soon. Ah, you're ignoring me.
Meredith: Um, trying to.
Derek: Well you shouldn't ignore me.
Meredith: Why not?
Derek: Because I'm someone you need to get to know to love.
Meredith: Really?
Derek: Oh yes.
Meredith: So if I know you, I'll love you?
Derek: Oh yes.
Meredith: You really like yourself huh?
Derek: Just hiding my pain.
Derek: So what's your story?
Meredith: I don't have a story. I'm just a girl in a bar.
Derek: I'm just a guy in a bar.
The day after
Derek: This is ...
Meredith: ... humiliating on so many levels. You have to go.
Derek: Why don't you just come back down here and we'll pick up where we left off?
Meredith: You know, we don't have to do the thing.
Derek: Oh, we can do anything you want.
Meredith: No, the thing! Exchange the details, pretend we care. Look, I'm going to go upstairs and take a shower, OK? And when I get back down here, you won't be here. So goodbye, um... [loooong silence]
Derek: Derek.
Meredith: Derek! Right, Meredith.
Kissing in the elevator
Derek: Seattle has ferryboats.
Meredith: Yes.
Derek: I didn’t know that. I've been living here six weeks; I didn’t know there were ferryboats.
Meredith: Seattle is surrounded by water on three sides.
Derek: Hence the ferryboats. Now I have to like it here. I wasn’t planning on liking it here. I'm from New York; I'm genetically engineered to dislike everywhere except Manhattan. I have a thing for ferryboats.
Meredith: I'm not going out with you.
Derek: Did I ask you to go out with me? [silence] Do you want to go out with me?
Meredith: I'm not dating you and I'm definitely not sleeping with you again. You're my boss.
Derek: I'm your boss' boss.
Meredith: You're my teacher and my teacher's teacher. And you’re my teacher.
Derek: [murmurs] I'm your sister. I'm your daughter.
Meredith: You're sexually harassing me.
Derek: I'm riding in an elevator.
Meredith: Look, I'm drawing a line. The line is drawn. There’s a big line.
Derek: So this line... is it imaginary or do I need to get you a marker? [She jumps him and they start making out] -lift doors open- [Meredith gets off elevator, walks past people waiting]
Derek: So we'll talk later?
