Minimum requirements for a M/L reunion in 8x24
Please don't mind me. I just need to post this snippet in order to come back to it on Friday and compare it to how it worked out on the show.
Can you believe it? I still have hope it will be so much better.
LEXIE (valiantly)
Hey guys, you still there?
Meredith, Cristina, and Mark exchange looks. They have no idea how to tell Lexie that they can't help her.
CRISTINA
(to Mark) You stay with her.
(to Meredith) Don't you dare give up on Derek.
MARK sits down beside LEXIE. Alone, finally.
LEXIE (warmly)
We're kind of on a deadline here, right? You don't have to decide though.
MARK (is cut off)
LEXIE CTD.
Do you remember when Alex was dying in front of us? What I said to him?
MARK (he remembers)
LEXIE CTD.
I didn't mean it the way I meant it on Tuesday. So I understand. You can say just anything you want. I won't take it the wrong way, I promise.
MARK (hotly)
You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Lex. I've always loved you. I don't ever want to live without you again, Little Grey.
LEXIE
You do?
A BEAT of gazing at each other.
LEXIE (smiling)
Wow. Seems we made it, after all.
MARK (choking)
Yeah. Yeah, we made it. Lexie.
LEXIE
Gotta warn you. I'll choose the scariest bridesmaid's dresses I can find. And I'll wear a big white one. Ready for that?
MARK
I'll get you out of it in no time.
LEXIE
You wish! We're gonna do it right, Mark!
(a beat)
And we'll have beautiful children. You and me.
If you want.
MARK (surprised)
Of course I do.
I've only ever wanted you, baby.
LEXIE
I'd kiss you... but I'm nasty. (laughs, then throws up more blood)
LEXIE CTD.
I'm sorry, my love.
MARK
I know. I'm sorry too.
MARK moves to hold LEXIE as much as this is possible. They keep gazing at each other.
