1. Kids, when it comes to love
Copy !req
2. the best relationships are the ones
that just come naturally.
Copy !req
3. My first solo batch.
Copy !req
4. Um, I think those need to stay
in the oven awhile longer.
Copy !req
5. Here's a professional tip.
Copy !req
6. If it's still runny, it's not a cupcake.
Copy !req
7. - It's a beverage.
- Yeah, well...
Copy !req
8. Things with Victoria were fun.
And easy. And uncomplicated.
Copy !req
9. No, no.
Copy !req
10. It was pretty great.
Copy !req
11. Are you coloring in your butt?
Copy !req
12. I have a big interview coming up.
And my suit has holes in it.
Copy !req
13. I can't sew. I don't own navy boxers.
Copy !req
14. So, yeah, I'm coloring in my butt.
Copy !req
15. - Just wear another one.
- I don't have another one.
Copy !req
16. I'm flat broke. My only other suit options
are track or birthday.
Copy !req
17. Dude, you show up to an interview in that,
Copy !req
18. even the hippie lawyers
from Granola Mountain Earth Pals
Copy !req
19. will hacky-sack you straight out the door.
Copy !req
20. Okay, it's the
National Resource Defense Council
Copy !req
21. and it's my dream job.
Copy !req
22. Except it's only an internship
and I won't be getting paid.
Copy !req
23. Mostly getting people coffee.
Copy !req
24. But the people I'm getting coffee for,
their bosses are gonna save the world.
Copy !req
25. Okay. Tomorrow... Oh, and I should mention
this is gonna rock your world.
Copy !req
26. Tomorrow, I'm taking you
to my personal tailor.
Copy !req
27. A tailor?
Barney, I make negative $300 a week
Copy !req
28. and I need every negative penny of that
for my wedding.
Copy !req
29. Relax. My guy does everything
for one-third the cost.
Copy !req
30. And there is no way
you're getting married in that
Copy !req
31. sarcastic-quotation-marks "suit."
Copy !req
32. Tomorrow. Noon. My tailor.
Copy !req
33. No thanks, dude.
Copy !req
34. - Noon?
- Noon.
Copy !req
35. - Okay.
- See you then.
Copy !req
36. Hey, girls.
Copy !req
37. - Hey.
- Hey.
Copy !req
38. Hey. I'm on my way to meet Ted.
Copy !req
39. It's our two-month-iversary,
so we're going out to dinner.
Copy !req
40. Great. Well, that answers
all the questions I didn't ask.
Copy !req
41. Robin.
Copy !req
42. Oh, come on. We bust on each other.
Copy !req
43. We're just at that place
in our strong friendship.
Copy !req
44. Really?
Copy !req
45. Get off me.
Copy !req
46. Oh, see? I did it again.
Copy !req
47. What are you guys up to? Dress shopping.
Copy !req
48. You know, I make wedding cakes
for a lot of fancy bridal shops.
Copy !req
49. If you want, I could take you shopping.
Maybe get you a discount.
Copy !req
50. - Really? That would be great.
Yeah.
Copy !req
51. I should take this. Bye. Hello?
Copy !req
52. Hey? I thought it was gonna be
just us tomorrow.
Copy !req
53. What's with inviting Punky Brewster?
Copy !req
54. Robin. You've gotta get over
this Ted and Victoria thing.
Copy !req
55. You had your chance, and now he's moved
on. Can't you just be happy for them?
Copy !req
56. The best I can give you
is a fake smile and dead eyes.
Copy !req
57. - Sold.
- Great.
Copy !req
58. Victoria, what's wrong?
Copy !req
59. I've just been offered a fellowship
at a culinary institute in Germany.
Copy !req
60. - Wait. Germany, Europe?
- It's for two years.
Copy !req
61. I figured I didn't have much of a chance,
'cause they don't let many Americans in,
Copy !req
62. but I'm in.
Copy !req
63. So, this is the Europe Germany?
Copy !req
64. - Ted, what other Germany would it be?
- The one in Epcot?
Copy !req
65. - Ted.
- Sorry.
Copy !req
66. - Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
67. I don't know if I'm gonna go.
Copy !req
68. Uh-hmm. And, if you do,
what does that mean for us?
Copy !req
69. I don't know.
Copy !req
70. I just... I don't think that
long-distance really works for anyone.
Copy !req
71. Oh, God, no. Long-distance is a lie
Copy !req
72. teenagers tell each other
to get laid the summer before college.
Copy !req
73. So that leaves us with...
Copy !req
74. Either you stay here, or we break up.
Copy !req
75. Wow.
Copy !req
76. Look, let's just see how things progress
and if, by September, we still...
Copy !req
77. I have to leave on Monday.
Copy !req
78. - Monday, September the...
- Ted.
Copy !req
79. Do you have any thoughts?
Copy !req
80. Maybe we should each take some time
to think about what we want.
Copy !req
81. We'll meet up tomorrow to discuss it.
Copy !req
82. It's a date.
Copy !req
83. And that's when
things got complicated.
Copy !req
84. - Hey, baby. How's the dress place?
- Well, everything's so fluffy and white.
Copy !req
85. It's like shopping in a marshmallow.
How's Barney's tailor?
Copy !req
86. Everything here is dark and sketchy,
and seems illegal.
Copy !req
87. It's like shopping in Barney's mind.
Copy !req
88. - Good luck, baby.
- Bye.
Copy !req
89. Hey, Barney?
Copy !req
90. I'm not sure about this.
A tailor in the backroom of a pet store?
Copy !req
91. Look, do you want a quality suit
and a free rabbit or not?
Copy !req
92. Ted, Sergei says stop moping around.
You're distracting him from his process.
Copy !req
93. You speak Ukrainian?
Copy !req
94. Guys. I'm kind of screwed here.
Copy !req
95. I don't wanna lose Victoria,
but I can't ask her to stay just for me.
Copy !req
96. And long-distance definitely
isn't an option.
Copy !req
97. No, no, no. No way.
You know who likes long-distance?
Copy !req
98. Girls. It's all talking and no sex.
Kill me now.
Copy !req
99. Hey, don't knock
long-distance relationships.
Copy !req
100. I really think they can work.
Copy !req
101. - Really? You?
Absolutely.
Copy !req
102. I'm juggling four right now.
There's Lisa in Madrid.
Copy !req
103. There's Erica in Tokyo.
There's Laura in Denmark.
Copy !req
104. And Kelly on 34th Street.
Copy !req
105. The lass thinks
Copy !req
106. I'm a humble sheep shearer from Killarney.
Copy !req
107. Ted, do you remember in college,
Copy !req
108. when Lily did that summer art program
in Paris?
Copy !req
109. Yeah.
Copy !req
110. Well, she kept talking
about this cheesy French guy, Gabrielle.
Copy !req
111. So, I went out to visit
and there was this party.
Copy !req
112. And who shows up but Gabrielle.
Copy !req
113. And he's got this weak-ass,
thin, French moustache.
Copy !req
114. Yeah, I'm not much of a fighter, but I
knew I could take this weird little dude.
Copy !req
115. So, I took him aside,
and I got all creepy quiet
Copy !req
116. and got the crazy eyes going. And I said,
Copy !req
117. "You stay away from Lily.
Or, I swear to God,
Copy !req
118. I'll eat that moustache
right off of your ugly French face."
Copy !req
119. Yeah. No, he literally ran away.
I think he was crying.
Copy !req
120. I never told Lily about it.
To be honest, I'm not very proud of it.
Copy !req
121. To be even more honest, I am.
Copy !req
122. Um, other than confirming a lot of
European stereotypes about Americans,
Copy !req
123. - did that little story have a point?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
124. The point is,
that even though Lily is my soul mate,
Copy !req
125. long-distance still almost killed us.
Copy !req
126. If you think that there's any chance
that Victoria's your soul mate,
Copy !req
127. you should ask her to stay.
Copy !req
128. Well, I don't know if she is.
It's still too early.
Copy !req
129. But, yeah, she could be.
Copy !req
130. Oh, please. You barely know this girl.
What's her favorite color?
Copy !req
131. Is she a cat person, or a dog person?
Is she open to a three-way?
Copy !req
132. Ted, I do more research than this
before buying a cell phone.
Copy !req
133. And, FYI, yes, I have three-way calling.
Copy !req
134. Look, she can't be a cat person.
I'm a dog person.
Copy !req
135. I'm attracted to other dog people.
Copy !req
136. - Are you sure?
- All right.
Copy !req
137. - Hello?
- Hey, random question.
Copy !req
138. - How do you feel about cats?
- Cats.
Copy !req
139. Hated the musical, love the animal.
Copy !req
140. Good to know. Okay, goodbye.
Copy !req
141. She's a cat person.
Copy !req
142. I don't know this girl at all.
Copy !req
143. - Oh, excellent. We'll take this one.
- This one.
Copy !req
144. Hey, hey. It's my suit.
Shouldn't I be the one to choose?
Copy !req
145. Here, play with this pincushion.
Copy !req
146. God, I'm gonna look hot.
Copy !req
147. Marshall, I can't let you waste
a suit this nice
Copy !req
148. fighting a losing battle
for our planet's survival.
Copy !req
149. This is a suit for winners.
Copy !req
150. I am getting you an interview
at my office.
Copy !req
151. We need good men like you
in our legal department.
Copy !req
152. We get sued. A lot.
Copy !req
153. No way. The kid does not sell out.
Copy !req
154. Oh, come on, dude.
Three months working with me,
Copy !req
155. you'll make more
than Lily makes in a year.
Copy !req
156. No. I've made my decision.
Copy !req
157. So have I. If I ask this girl
to give up her dreams for me,
Copy !req
158. and, two weeks later,
it's not working out,
Copy !req
159. I'm, like, the biggest jerk of all time.
Copy !req
160. It's just too much pressure
on a new relationship.
Copy !req
161. I'm gonna tell her to go.
Copy !req
162. And so, I met her that night
to tell her my decision.
Copy !req
163. All right, I've been thinking
a lot about this, and...
Copy !req
164. Okay, wait. Before you say anything,
Copy !req
165. I wanted to give you this.
Copy !req
166. This is what happens when you,
Copy !req
167. you know, let them finish baking.
Copy !req
168. I want you to stay.
Copy !req
169. Everything here is dark and sketchy,
and seems illegal.
Copy !req
170. It's like shopping in Barney's mind.
Copy !req
171. - Good luck, baby.
- Bye.
Copy !req
172. Now, what sort of dress
did you have in mind, dear?
Copy !req
173. Nothing too huge or poofy.
I'm not really a girly girl.
Copy !req
174. But I would like to look
like a beautiful princess.
Copy !req
175. - I saw a couple up front that were nice.
- By the window?
Copy !req
176. No offense, dear, but those are
a little out of your price range.
Copy !req
177. Where does she get off?
Copy !req
178. She doesn't know
how much money I make.
Copy !req
179. These women are experts.
Copy !req
180. They can guess your net annual income
just by looking at your underwear.
Copy !req
181. Damn you, Old Navy
and your reasonably-priced three-packs.
Copy !req
182. - Well, at least we get free champagne.
- And cake.
Copy !req
183. Speaking of which, Victoria,
Copy !req
184. have you decided what to do
about your donut fellowship?
Copy !req
185. You know, I don't know.
Copy !req
186. I mean, I want to go,
but I don't want to lose Ted.
Copy !req
187. I even thought about long-distance,
as if that ever works.
Copy !req
188. All talking and no sex. Kill me now.
Copy !req
189. I know it sounds lame,
Copy !req
190. but I actually think
that Ted might be the one.
Copy !req
191. - That's pretty hard to walk away from.
- Well, I don't know.
Copy !req
192. I'd feel a little Stepford
turning down a huge opportunity
Copy !req
193. to chase some guy
I'd only known two months.
Copy !req
194. But this isn't just some guy. This is Ted.
He's amazing.
Copy !req
195. - He's the best guy I know.
- Yeah, in America. But German guys?
Copy !req
196. I would let them bread my schnitzel
any day, if you know what I mean.
Copy !req
197. - I really don't.
- Sex.
Copy !req
198. Excuse me, ma'am.
This bastard's kicked. Thanks.
Copy !req
199. That's okay, guys, I hate it.
Copy !req
200. - Just horrible.
- It's bad. It's really bad.
Copy !req
201. Short in the front, long in the back.
That is the mullet of wedding dresses.
Copy !req
202. You know, Victoria,
Marshall and I did long-distance once.
Copy !req
203. In college, I did an art course in Paris.
Copy !req
204. I was the only American there.
Copy !req
205. I was really lonely.
I only had one friend. Gabrielle.
Copy !req
206. And she was kind of homely
and strange-looking.
Copy !req
207. And she was really self-conscious
about this little moustache she had.
Copy !req
208. Anyway, halfway through the semester,
she just stopped talking to me,
Copy !req
209. and I never figured out why.
Copy !req
210. And then I had nobody.
Copy !req
211. The only thing that got me through was
Copy !req
212. knowing that my soul mate
was back at home waiting for me.
Copy !req
213. If Ted's your soul mate,
then it may be worth it to hang on to him.
Copy !req
214. But how am I supposed to know
if we're soul mates? It's too soon.
Copy !req
215. Oh. Speak of the devil.
Copy !req
216. - Hello?
- Hey, random question.
Copy !req
217. - How do you feel about cats?
- Cats. Hated the musical, love the animal.
Copy !req
218. - A cat person. Why am I not surprised?
- Stop it.
Copy !req
219. Bye. Why does Ted want to know
if I like cats?
Copy !req
220. Maybe he's gonna buy you one.
Copy !req
221. I did hear barking in the background.
Copy !req
222. Maybe he was in a pet store.
Does he want us to get a cat together?
Copy !req
223. Maybe he's using an adorable kitty
to guilt you into staying.
Copy !req
224. That is low.
Copy !req
225. Do you really think
that's what he's doing?
Copy !req
226. Oh, I wouldn't even wait to find out.
I would be on the next plane to Germany.
Copy !req
227. Oh, God. You guys are sucky liars.
Copy !req
228. - I don't know what to say.
- Ugly, ugly, ugly.
Copy !req
229. You know what?
We're doing this all wrong.
Copy !req
230. I'm gonna get you one of those
front-window dresses. Just for fun.
Copy !req
231. - Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
Copy !req
232. Okay.
Copy !req
233. Just kind of seems like you're trying
to hustle Victoria out of the country.
Copy !req
234. I'm not. I'm just trying to support her.
Copy !req
235. She got a super-important
dessert scholarship.
Copy !req
236. Stop being sarcastic.
Copy !req
237. It is a super-important
dessert scholarship.
Copy !req
238. Wow, that's hard to say
without sounding sarcastic.
Copy !req
239. Look, I know you're not
Victoria's biggest fan,
Copy !req
240. but she seems to make Ted happy.
Copy !req
241. So think about that before you use
your miles to buy her a plane ticket.
Copy !req
242. Somebody say beautiful princess?
Copy !req
243. Oh, my gosh. It's perfect.
Copy !req
244. Oh, this dress is totally gonna get me
laid on my wedding night.
Copy !req
245. - Look how happy she is.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
246. You know, I've always thought of myself
as one of those independent women
Copy !req
247. who would never let any guy
mess with my career,
Copy !req
248. and now I'm actually thinking about it.
Copy !req
249. I feel guilty.
Like it's un-feminist or something.
Copy !req
250. - I know what you mean.
- You do?
Copy !req
251. Well, I'm always putting my career
ahead of my relationships
Copy !req
252. and, to be honest, there's a lot
of lonely nights in that job description.
Copy !req
253. See, that's what I'm afraid of.
Copy !req
254. Well, then, choosing Ted over your career
doesn't make you un-feminist.
Copy !req
255. Maybe it just means
that you guys would be happy together.
Copy !req
256. Robin, I think that you are the coolest.
Copy !req
257. I'm so glad that we're friends.
Copy !req
258. - Oh, no way, you are the coolest.
- No. No, you are.
Copy !req
259. Okay, I am.
Copy !req
260. I'm gonna stay.
Copy !req
261. I am so beautiful.
Don't tell me how much it costs.
Copy !req
262. Just snap my neck now
so I can die this pretty.
Copy !req
263. Wow. You look incredible.
Copy !req
264. Okay, okay. How much is it?
On a scale of never to never ever.
Copy !req
265. Never ever, ever, ever,
ever times infinity.
Copy !req
266. Well, it's okay.
Copy !req
267. You know, what makes a bride beautiful
Copy !req
268. is that she's just happy
to be getting married.
Copy !req
269. Oh, guys, I know, I look amazing,
Copy !req
270. but the important thing is that Marshall
and I love each other, right?
Copy !req
271. Yes, you're right.
Copy !req
272. But, also, you just sat down in the cake.
Copy !req
273. But you know what? It's gonna come out,
because it's only chocolate and raspberry.
Copy !req
274. Okay, come on. Get up.
Let us see how bad it is.
Copy !req
275. It was like this when I found it.
Copy !req
276. And how will you be paying for this?
Copy !req
277. Credit cards.
Copy !req
278. I wanted to give you this.
Copy !req
279. This is what happens when you,
you know, let them finish baking.
Copy !req
280. I want you to stay.
Copy !req
281. I have to go to Germany.
Copy !req
282. - You're going?
- Yes. I have to.
Copy !req
283. - So that's what you decided?
- Well, no.
Copy !req
284. I mean, I actually came here tonight
leaning towards staying,
Copy !req
285. but when you just told me to stay,
it made me realize that I have to go.
Copy !req
286. - What is this, opposite day or something?
- No.
Copy !req
287. So it is?
Copy !req
288. Ted, we've only been dating
for two months.
Copy !req
289. I can't let you make this decision for me.
Copy !req
290. I was totally gonna tell you to go,
but then you gave me this cupcake,
Copy !req
291. and it reminded me how great you are.
Copy !req
292. Well, is there any chance that
you would move to Germany with me?
Copy !req
293. Well, that's just crazy.
Copy !req
294. Oh. Okay.
Copy !req
295. So it's fine for me to make sacrifices
for you, but for you, it's crazy.
Copy !req
296. But you have a job here and a life.
I'd have nothing there.
Copy !req
297. - You'd have me.
- We've only been dating two months.
Copy !req
298. It's not fair.
It's not fair that we have to break up.
Copy !req
299. I hate this.
Copy !req
300. So we're breaking up?
Copy !req
301. I guess so.
Copy !req
302. I guess so.
Copy !req
303. God, that sucks, man. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
304. It was just too much pressure too soon.
Copy !req
305. I mean, maybe it was silly
to even think...
Copy !req
306. Yes, Marshall, I see your new suit
and it's awesome.
Copy !req
307. Well, thank you for acknowledging it.
It's weird that you hadn't.
Copy !req
308. Look, I understand that you guys
had to break up eventually,
Copy !req
309. - but why today?
- She's leaving tomorrow.
Copy !req
310. Yeah, but she's still in town.
Copy !req
311. - Yeah, she's still in town.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
312. So you spend
one more amazing day together.
Copy !req
313. Ted, think about it this way,
Copy !req
314. if you knew that you were gonna
lose your leg tomorrow,
Copy !req
315. would you sit on the couch
and cry about it,
Copy !req
316. or would you run and jump
Copy !req
317. and do some awesome air kicks
while you still could?
Copy !req
318. Awesome air kicks, huh?
Copy !req
319. - New pajama bottoms?
- You know it.
Copy !req
320. So, we can sit around and cry,
Copy !req
321. or we can run and do awesome air kicks
before our leg gets chopped off.
Copy !req
322. Wait, so we're sharing the leg?
Copy !req
323. No, the leg is a metaphor.
Copy !req
324. How could the leg be well enough
to do awesome air kicks one day
Copy !req
325. and yet still so sick
it needs to be chopped off the next?
Copy !req
326. - I don't know, Ted.
- Come on.
Copy !req
327. We've had a good run. Why end on a fight?
Copy !req
328. Well, what would you want to do?
Copy !req
329. Let's do all the stuff
we talked about doing
Copy !req
330. - and never got around to.
- Like go to the Met?
Copy !req
331. Yeah, we'll walk across
the Brooklyn Bridge.
Copy !req
332. See some monkeys at the zoo.
Copy !req
333. Go to that French-Vietnamese place
we keep passing and say we want to try.
Copy !req
334. - Wow. We better get going.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
335. - Big day.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
336. And kids, that's exactly
what we did with our last day.
Copy !req
337. The museum. The bridge. The restaurant.
Copy !req
338. And all of those nice things.
Copy !req
339. Lily, you have to tell him.
That dress cost a fortune.
Copy !req
340. No. I am just gonna wait for
the next time Marshall really screws up
Copy !req
341. and then I'll just slip this in,
and it won't seem so bad by comparison.
Copy !req
342. - Well, here's hoping he cheats on you.
- Yeah, but only like second base.
Copy !req
343. Look at us. Two guys in suits.
You feel that slight tingle?
Copy !req
344. That's every girl in the bar wanting you,
and every guy wanting to be you.
Copy !req
345. Actually, it's mostly me,
but you're getting some of the splash.
Copy !req
346. Hey, babe. Dollar beer night.
So I splurged and got us each our own.
Copy !req
347. So, have you thought any more
about coming to work for Barney Corp?
Copy !req
348. Oh, please.
Your company is not called Barney Corp.
Copy !req
349. Yet.
Copy !req
350. I almost forgot. Sergei sent me your bill.
Copy !req
351. Barney, this says $4,000.
Copy !req
352. I thought you said
that it was one-third price!
Copy !req
353. Must be a $12,000 dollar suit.
Copy !req
354. Oh, well, guess you'll have
to come work at my company.
Copy !req
355. You set this up.
You set this whole thing up.
Copy !req
356. I most certainly did!
Copy !req
357. Well, it won't work.
Copy !req
358. Even if I have to get two extra night
jobs, I'll pay your precious tailor.
Copy !req
359. I'm not selling my soul.
Copy !req
360. Baby, I know that
this will make things harder,
Copy !req
361. but I will make it work. I promise.
Copy !req
362. I destroyed an $8,000 wedding dress.
Copy !req
363. - What time is the interview?
- 9:00 a.m.
Copy !req
364. And you'll need new shoes. Don't worry.
I know a guy.
Copy !req
365. Well, I'm glad we got to spend the day
doing awesome air kicks.
Copy !req
366. Yeah. I was almost too tired
for all the sex.
Copy !req
367. - I'm gonna miss you so much.
- I'm gonna miss you, too.
Copy !req
368. Hey, you know. I mean, if when I get back,
we're still single we can...
Copy !req
369. Even if we're not.
Copy !req
370. Okay.
Copy !req
371. Look, I know it never works for anyone,
but do you wanna try long-distance?
Copy !req
372. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
373. - We can beat the odds.
- Odds, schmodds.
Copy !req
374. It's gonna work.
We're gonna make it work. It'll work.
Copy !req
375. It didn't work.
Copy !req
376. Long-distance was and is a terrible idea.
Copy !req
377. A really terrible idea. Just awful.
Copy !req
378. But more on that later.
