1. Kids, when it comes to love

2. the best relationships are the ones that just come naturally.

3. My first solo batch.

4. Um, I think those need to stay in the oven awhile longer.

5. Here's a professional tip.

6. If it's still runny, it's not a cupcake.

7. - It's a beverage. - Yeah, well...

8. Things with Victoria were fun. And easy. And uncomplicated.

9. No, no.

10. It was pretty great.

11. Are you coloring in your butt?

12. I have a big interview coming up. And my suit has holes in it.

13. I can't sew. I don't own navy boxers.

14. So, yeah, I'm coloring in my butt.

15. - Just wear another one. - I don't have another one.

16. I'm flat broke. My only other suit options are track or birthday.

17. Dude, you show up to an interview in that,

18. even the hippie lawyers from Granola Mountain Earth Pals

19. will hacky-sack you straight out the door.

20. Okay, it's the National Resource Defense Council

21. and it's my dream job.

22. Except it's only an internship and I won't be getting paid.

23. Mostly getting people coffee.

24. But the people I'm getting coffee for, their bosses are gonna save the world.

25. Okay. Tomorrow... Oh, and I should mention this is gonna rock your world.

26. Tomorrow, I'm taking you to my personal tailor.

27. A tailor? Barney, I make negative $300 a week

28. and I need every negative penny of that for my wedding.

29. Relax. My guy does everything for one-third the cost.

30. And there is no way you're getting married in that

31. sarcastic-quotation-marks "suit."

32. Tomorrow. Noon. My tailor.

33. No thanks, dude.

34. - Noon? - Noon.

35. - Okay. - See you then.

36. Hey, girls.

37. - Hey. - Hey.

38. Hey. I'm on my way to meet Ted.

39. It's our two-month-iversary, so we're going out to dinner.

40. Great. Well, that answers all the questions I didn't ask.

41. Robin.

42. Oh, come on. We bust on each other.

43. We're just at that place in our strong friendship.

44. Really?

45. Get off me.

46. Oh, see? I did it again.

47. What are you guys up to? Dress shopping.

48. You know, I make wedding cakes for a lot of fancy bridal shops.

49. If you want, I could take you shopping. Maybe get you a discount.

50. - Really? That would be great. Yeah.

51. I should take this. Bye. Hello?

52. Hey? I thought it was gonna be just us tomorrow.

53. What's with inviting Punky Brewster?

54. Robin. You've gotta get over this Ted and Victoria thing.

55. You had your chance, and now he's moved on. Can't you just be happy for them?

56. The best I can give you is a fake smile and dead eyes.

57. - Sold. - Great.

58. Victoria, what's wrong?

59. I've just been offered a fellowship at a culinary institute in Germany.

60. - Wait. Germany, Europe? - It's for two years.

61. I figured I didn't have much of a chance, 'cause they don't let many Americans in,

62. but I'm in.

63. So, this is the Europe Germany?

64. - Ted, what other Germany would it be? - The one in Epcot?

65. - Ted. - Sorry.

66. - Congratulations. - Thank you.

67. I don't know if I'm gonna go.

68. Uh-hmm. And, if you do, what does that mean for us?

69. I don't know.

70. I just... I don't think that long-distance really works for anyone.

71. Oh, God, no. Long-distance is a lie

72. teenagers tell each other to get laid the summer before college.

73. So that leaves us with...

74. Either you stay here, or we break up.

75. Wow.

76. Look, let's just see how things progress and if, by September, we still...

77. I have to leave on Monday.

78. - Monday, September the... - Ted.

79. Do you have any thoughts?

80. Maybe we should each take some time to think about what we want.

81. We'll meet up tomorrow to discuss it.

82. It's a date.

83. And that's when things got complicated.

84. - Hey, baby. How's the dress place? - Well, everything's so fluffy and white.

85. It's like shopping in a marshmallow. How's Barney's tailor?

86. Everything here is dark and sketchy, and seems illegal.

87. It's like shopping in Barney's mind.

88. - Good luck, baby. - Bye.

89. Hey, Barney?

90. I'm not sure about this. A tailor in the backroom of a pet store?

91. Look, do you want a quality suit and a free rabbit or not?

92. Ted, Sergei says stop moping around. You're distracting him from his process.

93. You speak Ukrainian?

94. Guys. I'm kind of screwed here.

95. I don't wanna lose Victoria, but I can't ask her to stay just for me.

96. And long-distance definitely isn't an option.

97. No, no, no. No way. You know who likes long-distance?

98. Girls. It's all talking and no sex. Kill me now.

99. Hey, don't knock long-distance relationships.

100. I really think they can work.

101. - Really? You? Absolutely.

102. I'm juggling four right now. There's Lisa in Madrid.

103. There's Erica in Tokyo. There's Laura in Denmark.

104. And Kelly on 34th Street.

105. The lass thinks

106. I'm a humble sheep shearer from Killarney.

107. Ted, do you remember in college,

108. when Lily did that summer art program in Paris?

109. Yeah.

110. Well, she kept talking about this cheesy French guy, Gabrielle.

111. So, I went out to visit and there was this party.

112. And who shows up but Gabrielle.

113. And he's got this weak-ass, thin, French moustache.

114. Yeah, I'm not much of a fighter, but I knew I could take this weird little dude.

115. So, I took him aside, and I got all creepy quiet

116. and got the crazy eyes going. And I said,

117. "You stay away from Lily. Or, I swear to God,

118. I'll eat that moustache right off of your ugly French face."

119. Yeah. No, he literally ran away. I think he was crying.

120. I never told Lily about it. To be honest, I'm not very proud of it.

121. To be even more honest, I am.

122. Um, other than confirming a lot of European stereotypes about Americans,

123. - did that little story have a point? - Yeah.

124. The point is, that even though Lily is my soul mate,

125. long-distance still almost killed us.

126. If you think that there's any chance that Victoria's your soul mate,

127. you should ask her to stay.

128. Well, I don't know if she is. It's still too early.

129. But, yeah, she could be.

130. Oh, please. You barely know this girl. What's her favorite color?

131. Is she a cat person, or a dog person? Is she open to a three-way?

132. Ted, I do more research than this before buying a cell phone.

133. And, FYI, yes, I have three-way calling.

134. Look, she can't be a cat person. I'm a dog person.

135. I'm attracted to other dog people.

136. - Are you sure? - All right.

137. - Hello? - Hey, random question.

138. - How do you feel about cats? - Cats.

139. Hated the musical, love the animal.

140. Good to know. Okay, goodbye.

141. She's a cat person.

142. I don't know this girl at all.

143. - Oh, excellent. We'll take this one. - This one.

144. Hey, hey. It's my suit. Shouldn't I be the one to choose?

145. Here, play with this pincushion.

146. God, I'm gonna look hot.

147. Marshall, I can't let you waste a suit this nice

148. fighting a losing battle for our planet's survival.

149. This is a suit for winners.

150. I am getting you an interview at my office.

151. We need good men like you in our legal department.

152. We get sued. A lot.

153. No way. The kid does not sell out.

154. Oh, come on, dude. Three months working with me,

155. you'll make more than Lily makes in a year.

156. No. I've made my decision.

157. So have I. If I ask this girl to give up her dreams for me,

158. and, two weeks later, it's not working out,

159. I'm, like, the biggest jerk of all time.

160. It's just too much pressure on a new relationship.

161. I'm gonna tell her to go.

162. And so, I met her that night to tell her my decision.

163. All right, I've been thinking a lot about this, and...

164. Okay, wait. Before you say anything,

165. I wanted to give you this.

166. This is what happens when you,

167. you know, let them finish baking.

168. I want you to stay.

169. Everything here is dark and sketchy, and seems illegal.

170. It's like shopping in Barney's mind.

171. - Good luck, baby. - Bye.

172. Now, what sort of dress did you have in mind, dear?

173. Nothing too huge or poofy. I'm not really a girly girl.

174. But I would like to look like a beautiful princess.

175. - I saw a couple up front that were nice. - By the window?

176. No offense, dear, but those are a little out of your price range.

177. Where does she get off?

178. She doesn't know how much money I make.

179. These women are experts.

180. They can guess your net annual income just by looking at your underwear.

181. Damn you, Old Navy and your reasonably-priced three-packs.

182. - Well, at least we get free champagne. - And cake.

183. Speaking of which, Victoria,

184. have you decided what to do about your donut fellowship?

185. You know, I don't know.

186. I mean, I want to go, but I don't want to lose Ted.

187. I even thought about long-distance, as if that ever works.

188. All talking and no sex. Kill me now.

189. I know it sounds lame,

190. but I actually think that Ted might be the one.

191. - That's pretty hard to walk away from. - Well, I don't know.

192. I'd feel a little Stepford turning down a huge opportunity

193. to chase some guy I'd only known two months.

194. But this isn't just some guy. This is Ted. He's amazing.

195. - He's the best guy I know. - Yeah, in America. But German guys?

196. I would let them bread my schnitzel any day, if you know what I mean.

197. - I really don't. - Sex.

198. Excuse me, ma'am. This bastard's kicked. Thanks.

199. That's okay, guys, I hate it.

200. - Just horrible. - It's bad. It's really bad.

201. Short in the front, long in the back. That is the mullet of wedding dresses.

202. You know, Victoria, Marshall and I did long-distance once.

203. In college, I did an art course in Paris.

204. I was the only American there.

205. I was really lonely. I only had one friend. Gabrielle.

206. And she was kind of homely and strange-looking.

207. And she was really self-conscious about this little moustache she had.

208. Anyway, halfway through the semester, she just stopped talking to me,

209. and I never figured out why.

210. And then I had nobody.

211. The only thing that got me through was

212. knowing that my soul mate was back at home waiting for me.

213. If Ted's your soul mate, then it may be worth it to hang on to him.

214. But how am I supposed to know if we're soul mates? It's too soon.

215. Oh. Speak of the devil.

216. - Hello? - Hey, random question.

217. - How do you feel about cats? - Cats. Hated the musical, love the animal.

218. - A cat person. Why am I not surprised? - Stop it.

219. Bye. Why does Ted want to know if I like cats?

220. Maybe he's gonna buy you one.

221. I did hear barking in the background.

222. Maybe he was in a pet store. Does he want us to get a cat together?

223. Maybe he's using an adorable kitty to guilt you into staying.

224. That is low.

225. Do you really think that's what he's doing?

226. Oh, I wouldn't even wait to find out. I would be on the next plane to Germany.

227. Oh, God. You guys are sucky liars.

228. - I don't know what to say. - Ugly, ugly, ugly.

229. You know what? We're doing this all wrong.

230. I'm gonna get you one of those front-window dresses. Just for fun.

231. - Are you okay? - I'm fine.

232. Okay.

233. Just kind of seems like you're trying to hustle Victoria out of the country.

234. I'm not. I'm just trying to support her.

235. She got a super-important dessert scholarship.

236. Stop being sarcastic.

237. It is a super-important dessert scholarship.

238. Wow, that's hard to say without sounding sarcastic.

239. Look, I know you're not Victoria's biggest fan,

240. but she seems to make Ted happy.

241. So think about that before you use your miles to buy her a plane ticket.

242. Somebody say beautiful princess?

243. Oh, my gosh. It's perfect.

244. Oh, this dress is totally gonna get me laid on my wedding night.

245. - Look how happy she is. - Yeah.

246. You know, I've always thought of myself as one of those independent women

247. who would never let any guy mess with my career,

248. and now I'm actually thinking about it.

249. I feel guilty. Like it's un-feminist or something.

250. - I know what you mean. - You do?

251. Well, I'm always putting my career ahead of my relationships

252. and, to be honest, there's a lot of lonely nights in that job description.

253. See, that's what I'm afraid of.

254. Well, then, choosing Ted over your career doesn't make you un-feminist.

255. Maybe it just means that you guys would be happy together.

256. Robin, I think that you are the coolest.

257. I'm so glad that we're friends.

258. - Oh, no way, you are the coolest. - No. No, you are.

259. Okay, I am.

260. I'm gonna stay.

261. I am so beautiful. Don't tell me how much it costs.

262. Just snap my neck now so I can die this pretty.

263. Wow. You look incredible.

264. Okay, okay. How much is it? On a scale of never to never ever.

265. Never ever, ever, ever, ever times infinity.

266. Well, it's okay.

267. You know, what makes a bride beautiful

268. is that she's just happy to be getting married.

269. Oh, guys, I know, I look amazing,

270. but the important thing is that Marshall and I love each other, right?

271. Yes, you're right.

272. But, also, you just sat down in the cake.

273. But you know what? It's gonna come out, because it's only chocolate and raspberry.

274. Okay, come on. Get up. Let us see how bad it is.

275. It was like this when I found it.

276. And how will you be paying for this?

277. Credit cards.

278. I wanted to give you this.

279. This is what happens when you, you know, let them finish baking.

280. I want you to stay.

281. I have to go to Germany.

282. - You're going? - Yes. I have to.

283. - So that's what you decided? - Well, no.

284. I mean, I actually came here tonight leaning towards staying,

285. but when you just told me to stay, it made me realize that I have to go.

286. - What is this, opposite day or something? - No.

287. So it is?

288. Ted, we've only been dating for two months.

289. I can't let you make this decision for me.

290. I was totally gonna tell you to go, but then you gave me this cupcake,

291. and it reminded me how great you are.

292. Well, is there any chance that you would move to Germany with me?

293. Well, that's just crazy.

294. Oh. Okay.

295. So it's fine for me to make sacrifices for you, but for you, it's crazy.

296. But you have a job here and a life. I'd have nothing there.

297. - You'd have me. - We've only been dating two months.

298. It's not fair. It's not fair that we have to break up.

299. I hate this.

300. So we're breaking up?

301. I guess so.

302. I guess so.

303. God, that sucks, man. I'm so sorry.

304. It was just too much pressure too soon.

305. I mean, maybe it was silly to even think...

306. Yes, Marshall, I see your new suit and it's awesome.

307. Well, thank you for acknowledging it. It's weird that you hadn't.

308. Look, I understand that you guys had to break up eventually,

309. - but why today? - She's leaving tomorrow.

310. Yeah, but she's still in town.

311. - Yeah, she's still in town. - Yeah.

312. So you spend one more amazing day together.

313. Ted, think about it this way,

314. if you knew that you were gonna lose your leg tomorrow,

315. would you sit on the couch and cry about it,

316. or would you run and jump

317. and do some awesome air kicks while you still could?

318. Awesome air kicks, huh?

319. - New pajama bottoms? - You know it.

320. So, we can sit around and cry,

321. or we can run and do awesome air kicks before our leg gets chopped off.

322. Wait, so we're sharing the leg?

323. No, the leg is a metaphor.

324. How could the leg be well enough to do awesome air kicks one day

325. and yet still so sick it needs to be chopped off the next?

326. - I don't know, Ted. - Come on.

327. We've had a good run. Why end on a fight?

328. Well, what would you want to do?

329. Let's do all the stuff we talked about doing

330. - and never got around to. - Like go to the Met?

331. Yeah, we'll walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

332. See some monkeys at the zoo.

333. Go to that French-Vietnamese place we keep passing and say we want to try.

334. - Wow. We better get going. - Yeah.

335. - Big day. - Yeah.

336. And kids, that's exactly what we did with our last day.

337. The museum. The bridge. The restaurant.

338. And all of those nice things.

339. Lily, you have to tell him. That dress cost a fortune.

340. No. I am just gonna wait for the next time Marshall really screws up

341. and then I'll just slip this in, and it won't seem so bad by comparison.

342. - Well, here's hoping he cheats on you. - Yeah, but only like second base.

343. Look at us. Two guys in suits. You feel that slight tingle?

344. That's every girl in the bar wanting you, and every guy wanting to be you.

345. Actually, it's mostly me, but you're getting some of the splash.

346. Hey, babe. Dollar beer night. So I splurged and got us each our own.

347. So, have you thought any more about coming to work for Barney Corp?

348. Oh, please. Your company is not called Barney Corp.

349. Yet.

350. I almost forgot. Sergei sent me your bill.

351. Barney, this says $4,000.

352. I thought you said that it was one-third price!

353. Must be a $12,000 dollar suit.

354. Oh, well, guess you'll have to come work at my company.

355. You set this up. You set this whole thing up.

356. I most certainly did!

357. Well, it won't work.

358. Even if I have to get two extra night jobs, I'll pay your precious tailor.

359. I'm not selling my soul.

360. Baby, I know that this will make things harder,

361. but I will make it work. I promise.

362. I destroyed an $8,000 wedding dress.

363. - What time is the interview? - 9:00 a.m.

364. And you'll need new shoes. Don't worry. I know a guy.

365. Well, I'm glad we got to spend the day doing awesome air kicks.

366. Yeah. I was almost too tired for all the sex.

367. - I'm gonna miss you so much. - I'm gonna miss you, too.

368. Hey, you know. I mean, if when I get back, we're still single we can...

369. Even if we're not.

370. Okay.

371. Look, I know it never works for anyone, but do you wanna try long-distance?

372. Yes. Yes.

373. - We can beat the odds. - Odds, schmodds.

374. It's gonna work. We're gonna make it work. It'll work.

375. It didn't work.

376. Long-distance was and is a terrible idea.

377. A really terrible idea. Just awful.

378. But more on that later.
