The day you meet the person of your dreams

00:00:06,907 --> 00:00:08,576
and the day you marry him.

And also with you.

Mmm.

11

Yeah.
You're welcome, God.

A sad day indeed.

Do you know what I saw
on my way in here?

And you know
what that means.

The season of exposed skin
is over.

Exactly!

26

Gone are the tank tops,
Ted.

27
00:01:31,425 --> 00:01:33,227
Gone are the cute
little skirts.

Gone are the sundresses?
The sundresses, Ted!

29
00:01:37,165 --> 00:01:40,268
I don't think I can make it
another eight months
with no sundresses.

I have to grade these papers.

I'm sorry.
I'll let you work.

But first a riddle.

33
00:01:46,407 --> 00:01:50,644
What piece of women's attire
most stokes a man's desire?

34
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:53,181
A sundress.
Correct.

35
00:01:54,148 --> 00:01:56,750
What lightweight outfit,
pink or white,

36
00:01:56,817 --> 00:02:00,388
makes the front of my slacks
abnormally tight?

37
00:02:00,454 --> 00:02:02,890
I really have
to get this done.
Of course. Of course.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, hey.

What are you nervous about?
Tell me. Tell me. Tell me.

cotton frock...
Okay! I'll tell you.

There's a girl

Oh!
Don't look.

Wah. I wanna see
a pretty girl.

Okay, you can look.
But just... just...

Just be cool, for once.
Oh. I'll be cool.

Aw, Ted.
You got your beer label
in a bunch over nothin'.

Listen to
your Uncle Barney.

to be nervous.

None whatsoever.

maybe talking to eventually
at some point.

00:07:21,942 --> 00:07:23,877
Um, bedroom.
No, no. No time.

159
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,146
Look...
Floor. No. No time.
Against this wall!

160
00:07:26,213 --> 00:07:29,650
Marshall, whoa! Wait!
A big package just arrived.

161
00:07:29,717 --> 00:07:31,785
Yeah, it did.
No, no.

162
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:33,987
It's a real package
from your dad.

163
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:38,191
Well, that's a little weird,
but, yeah, it is.
Marshall, look!

164
00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:45,132
A bassinet? Oh, my...
He must've made it
in his woodshop.

165
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:47,568
Wasn't that sweet of him?

166
00:07:47,635 --> 00:07:51,171
Lil? Isn't that sweet?

167
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:53,841
Lily?

168
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:56,977
You told your dad we're
trying to have a baby?

169
00:07:57,044 --> 00:08:00,548
Of course I did.
I tell my dad everything.
My dad is my best friend.

170
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:02,015
[Ted, Barney]
Oh!

171
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:05,485
Lily, we have been
looking forward...

172
00:08:05,553 --> 00:08:08,756
to this magical, special night
for two weeks now.

173
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:11,659
And, sweetie,
during that time,
I have been, um...

174
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:14,828
How do I put this
delicately?

175
00:08:15,796 --> 00:08:18,966
Savin' all my love
for you.

176
00:08:20,534 --> 00:08:23,871
I have read 11 books
on conception.

177
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:27,274
I have cut out alcohol,
caffeine and sugar.

178
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,276
I take my temperature
every hour.

179
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:32,245
But good for you
for not playing
with yourself.

180
00:08:32,312 --> 00:08:34,514
[Sighs]

181
00:08:34,582 --> 00:08:36,917
- I feel ya, buddy.
- Ah! No, don't even
touch me, dude.

182
00:08:36,984 --> 00:08:38,986
It's been like...
It's been two weeks.

183
00:08:39,052 --> 00:08:42,389
I'm, like, a light breeze away
from havin' a big problem.

184
00:08:42,455 --> 00:08:43,957
I'm seriously...

185
00:08:45,693 --> 00:08:47,995
Okay. I'm better now.

186
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:52,099
Okay, Barney.
What's this gonna cost me?

187
00:08:52,165 --> 00:08:54,301
- Excuse me?
- Your dibs.
I wanna buy your dibs.

188
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:58,572
$250,000.

189
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:00,140
Twenty bucks.

190
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,711
But... Can I go
smell her first?

191
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,512
- No.
- Fine.

192
00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:08,849
All right.
Wish me luck.

193
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:14,354
[Ted Narrating]
Now, kids, remember how I told
you about a girl named Cindy...

194
00:09:14,421 --> 00:09:18,025
how I went on one date with her
and it ended badly?
Get out.

195
00:09:18,091 --> 00:09:20,293
- Well...
- [Woman]
How are you?

196
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,629
Good.

197
00:09:24,632 --> 00:09:26,533
What the hell are you doing?

198
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,003
That girl she's talking to...
I dated her.

199
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,539
Ooh. That sucks.

200
00:09:32,606 --> 00:09:34,141
And dibs.

201
00:09:38,812 --> 00:09:41,481
So you went on one date
with one of her friends.

202
00:09:41,548 --> 00:09:43,684
It's not necessarily
a big deal.

203
00:09:43,751 --> 00:09:46,119
I mean, did it end
on bad terms?

204
00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:47,621
Um...

205
00:09:47,688 --> 00:09:49,757
Oh, hi, Cindy.

206
00:09:49,823 --> 00:09:51,224
[Mimicking]
Oh, hi, Cindy!
[Raspberry]

207
00:09:54,061 --> 00:09:55,562
Yikes.

208
00:09:55,629 --> 00:09:57,464
Well, I guess
you just gotta move on.

209
00:09:57,530 --> 00:10:00,768
It's not like you have a shot
with Reading McGee over there,
right?

210
00:10:02,202 --> 00:10:03,136
Ted?

211
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:04,872
[Ted Narrating]
Then I remembered.

212
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,607
Cindy had a roommate...

213
00:10:07,675 --> 00:10:09,710
a roommate I only
caught a glimpse of.

214
00:10:11,511 --> 00:10:15,783
But a roommate who,
by every indication,
was something very special.

215
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:18,786
Was it possible?

216
00:10:18,852 --> 00:10:21,321
Could this be the girl
attached to that ankle?

217
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:26,760
I gotta see her ankles.

218
00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:28,628
You're one of those?

219
00:10:28,696 --> 00:10:31,899
God, I swear!
One in five guys.

220
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,935
Lily, we kinda had a plan
tonight, remember?

221
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:37,570
Candles, banjo...
Who else did you tell?

222
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:40,173
Did you tell anyone
at the office?

223
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,441
Um...

224
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:43,110
[Exhales]

225
00:10:45,445 --> 00:10:48,581
Shannon, start the music.

** [High-energy Rock]
[Cheering]

227
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:55,255
Can you dig it!

228
00:10:57,557 --> 00:10:59,126
Take it to the hole,
Eriksen!

229

[Man]
Sink that putt,
big buzz!

230
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,463
Put a pillow under
her lower back.
[Elevator Bell Dings]

231
00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:06,199
It helps facilitate
conception, bro.

[Cheering Continues]

Yeah!
[Cheering Louder]

234
00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:16,643
I may have mentioned it
in passing to a couple
of colleagues at work.

235
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,746
I'm sorry about that.
But you know what?

236
00:11:18,812 --> 00:11:20,647
I gotta be able
to tell my dad.

237
00:11:20,714 --> 00:11:22,950
Your dad is the last person
you should tell.

238
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:25,652
The man is too involved
in our lives.

239
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:28,488
It's like every time
the phone rings...

240
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:30,223
[Rings]
Hello.

241
00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:31,792
Lily! Marvin Eriksen.

242
00:11:31,859 --> 00:11:34,627
- I noticed you hadn't changed
your last name yet.
- Oh, no. I'm gonna...

243
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:37,931
So, don't worry.
I called the D.M.V.
I called your AmEx.

244
00:11:37,998 --> 00:11:40,567
- I got that process
started for ya.
- But...

Hello.

00:11:42,903 --> 00:11:44,471
Lily. Marvin Eriksen.

247
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,974
I understand
you and Marshall
have been fighting.

248
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,542
Let me tell you
what works for me
and the missus...

249
00:11:49,609 --> 00:11:52,212
frilly French undies
and a box of wine.

[Rings]
Hello?

251
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,917
You might wanna try pickles
on that sandwich.

252
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,288
Pickles would have
helped that sandwich!

253
00:12:01,354 --> 00:12:03,423
The man has no boundaries.

254
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:06,593
I-I just can't procreate
under these conditions.

255
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:10,297
Yeah, well, you know what?
I've already told him,
so the damage is done.

256
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:12,766
So call him and tell him
we decided not to have a baby.

[Wheezing Laugh]
Okay.

258
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,170
So you just... you want me
to give my dad a stroke?

259
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:20,107
[Mimicking Laugh]
Only if you wanna
give this a stroke.

260
00:12:20,173 --> 00:12:23,844
That's ridiculous.
Lily, there's no way
that I would ever...

261
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,850
Okay, everyone
needs to shut up
so that I can think!

262
00:12:31,018 --> 00:12:32,986
Uh-oh. They're talkin'
to a guy now.

263
00:12:33,053 --> 00:12:34,988
What kinda guy?
A cheesy guy
or a cool guy?

264
00:12:35,055 --> 00:12:37,590
Oh, a cheesy guy.
Don't worry.

265
00:12:37,657 --> 00:12:39,960
Aw, man.
That guy is cool.

266
00:12:40,027 --> 00:12:41,962
His hair's all cool.
He's got a cool belt.

267
00:12:42,029 --> 00:12:44,097
What... That guy is cheesy.

268
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:47,500
And if you think
he's not cheesy,
then you're cheesy too.

269
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:51,104
And now I want
something cheesy.
Who's feeling nachos?

270
00:12:51,171 --> 00:12:53,606
Oh, look at you, Robin.
You're jealous.

271
00:12:53,673 --> 00:12:55,876
Jealous?
Yeah, jealous.

00:12:55,943 --> 00:12:58,778
'Cause she's got it,
and you've lost it.

273
00:12:58,846 --> 00:13:00,914
[Scoffs]
I have not lost it.

274
00:13:00,981 --> 00:13:02,916
Ya lost it.
I still have it.

275
00:13:02,983 --> 00:13:05,819
I mean, I know
exactly where it is,

276
00:13:05,886 --> 00:13:08,788
and I can go get it
whenever I want.

277
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:11,524
Robin, girls are like
cartons of milk.

278
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:15,595
Each one has
a hotness expiration date,
and you've hit yours.

279
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:18,231
I'm not sayin'
the occasional guy won't
still open the fridge,

280
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:20,834
pick you up, give a sniff,
shrug and take a sip anyway,

281
00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:22,836
but it's all downhill
from here.

282
00:13:22,903 --> 00:13:24,872
I don't have to take this.

283
00:13:26,673 --> 00:13:28,541
But I do have to take this.

284
00:13:29,843 --> 00:13:32,479
Okay. So you just want me
to call my dad...

285
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,581
and tell him that we're
not havin' a baby?

286
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,783
That's about the size of it.

287
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:40,553
Okay. Out of curiosity,
when do we tell him
about the baby?

288
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:43,623
We'll tell him about the baby
when there's a baby
to tell him about.

289
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,592
So he just gets no notice?

290
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,595
He just walks into
his boss's office
and says,

291
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,098
"I just had a grandson.
I'm gonna be out
for three months."

292
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:54,267
Out for three months?
Yeah.

293
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:57,971
He and my mom
are coming to live with us
when the baby's born.

294
00:13:58,038 --> 00:14:00,573
We talked about this.
No, we didn't.

295
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,675
I meant me and my dad.

296
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:06,013
You know what, Marshall?
Why don't you have a baby
with your dad?

297
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:07,981
Oh, okay, Lily.

298
00:14:08,048 --> 00:14:10,250
Why don't you have a baby
with your butt?

299
00:14:10,317 --> 00:14:12,119
- What?
- [Angry Grunt]

I can't think straight!

Why do you have
to wear that shirt?

302
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:20,227
This is not how I thought
this night was going to go!

Oh, God. This sucks.
Do you think she saw me?

Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

00:14:49,022 --> 00:14:51,591
If I don't come back,
tell my mom I love her.

311
00:14:51,658 --> 00:14:53,927
Okay. Will do.
And dibs.

312
00:14:56,429 --> 00:14:58,331
Barney, am I crazy?

313
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:00,667
Marshall talks to his dad
way too much, right?

314
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:04,037
Oh. You don't want
my opinion on that.
Why not?

315
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:06,539
If I had my dad's number,

316
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:09,109
I would never not be
on the phone with him.

317
00:15:09,176 --> 00:15:11,011
Wow, that was really...

318
00:15:11,078 --> 00:15:13,013
Whoa!
A hottie with a body.

319
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,015
[Blubbering]
Boing!

320
00:15:15,082 --> 00:15:17,484
- Brief.
- No, Lily, look.

321
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:22,956
[Barney]
You saucy little minx.

322
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:25,125
You sundressed up.

323
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,164
Hi.
[Chuckles]
Fourteen seconds.

324
00:15:31,231 --> 00:15:33,166
Fourteen seconds,
and already...

325
00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:36,636
some ding-dong is steppin' up,
thinkin' he can get some
of this broke off.

326
00:15:36,703 --> 00:15:38,105
Ho!

327
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:41,108
I... still...
got... it!

328
00:15:43,343 --> 00:15:46,179
All right, buddy.
You proved my point.
Now scram.

329
00:15:46,246 --> 00:15:49,082
Nice belt, by the way.

330
00:15:51,518 --> 00:15:54,921
Hi.
Wow. Robin, you do
look super hot.

331
00:15:54,988 --> 00:15:57,290
Oh, do I?
Yeah, you do.

332
00:15:58,058 --> 00:15:59,592
Thanks.

333
00:16:02,262 --> 00:16:04,197
[Ted Narrating]
I braced myself
for what was next...

334
00:16:04,264 --> 00:16:06,733
rage, fury, a savage beating.

335
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,670
Oh. Thank you, Ted.

336
00:16:10,737 --> 00:16:14,207
After things didn't
work out with us,
I got really sad for a while,

337
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:17,044
but then I realized
you're not what I wanted, Ted,

338
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:18,811
and I'm not what you wanted.

339
00:16:18,878 --> 00:16:22,482
I'm sorry I was such a jerk.
I feel like I should
make it up to you somehow.

340
00:16:22,549 --> 00:16:25,152
You know, buy you a beer
or Yankees tickets.

341
00:16:25,218 --> 00:16:27,154
Or set me up with one
of your friends.
[Laughs]

342
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:29,056
I'm kidding.
That would be weird.

343
00:16:29,122 --> 00:16:30,890
No, it wouldn't.
It wouldn't, would it?

344
00:16:30,957 --> 00:16:34,494
Any one of those three.
Whichever's easiest
and right nearby.

345
00:16:35,462 --> 00:16:37,597
And not the beer.
I should get back.

346
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:40,367
Totally.
Come say good-bye
before you leave.

347
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:43,336
[Chuckles]
"Say good-bye
before you leave"?

348
00:16:43,403 --> 00:16:45,004
Her words exactly.
Hmm.

349
00:16:45,072 --> 00:16:48,441
Dude, you are so in.
That is so awesome.

350
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:51,378
A high five
doesn't even cut it.
High six!

[Murmurs]

352
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,014
- She didn't see us
high-six, did she?
- No.

353
00:16:55,082 --> 00:16:58,017
Good. That was pretty lame.
Yeah. Let's never
do that again.

354
00:16:59,186 --> 00:17:01,988
Marshall.
What? Lily, what?

355
00:17:02,055 --> 00:17:05,058
Are there more members
of my family that you
wanna crap all over?

356
00:17:05,125 --> 00:17:06,426
Here's the thing.
[Cell Phone Rings]

357
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:09,362
I'm sorry. Hold on.
Just...
[Ringing]

358
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:11,231
It's my dad.

359
00:17:11,298 --> 00:17:13,733
Lily, it's my dad, okay?

360
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,170
I love him!
And if he calls me,
I'm gonna answer the phone.

361
00:17:17,237 --> 00:17:20,773
[Rings]
Hey, Dad.

362
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,343
Hey, hey!
I-I know it's late,
but I just had to call.

363
00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:25,011
- How'd it go?
- Dad, this isn't...

364
00:17:25,078 --> 00:17:27,980
Did you do everything
the book said? Did you put
the pillow under her back?

365
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,983
- Dad, I'm in the middle
of somethin' right now.
- Did it feel like a boy?

366
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:32,852
- Huh? You can tell.
- [Cell Phone Beeps]

367
00:17:32,919 --> 00:17:34,854
He's insane.

368
00:17:34,921 --> 00:17:37,490
My dad is insane.

369
00:17:38,825 --> 00:17:41,128
I'm so sorry, Lily.

370
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:43,096
He's just...

371
00:17:44,364 --> 00:17:49,402
He's so, um,
enthusiastic.

372
00:17:49,469 --> 00:17:51,304
It's ridiculous,
you know.

373
00:17:51,371 --> 00:17:53,240
Like, who's like that?

374
00:17:54,874 --> 00:17:56,176
You.

375
00:17:56,243 --> 00:17:58,845
You're like that.

376
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:03,082
You and your dad
both care so much.

377
00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:07,654
It's... It's why women fall
in love with the Eriksen men
to begin with.

378
00:18:08,721 --> 00:18:12,825
But right now,
it's a lot of pressure.

379
00:18:12,892 --> 00:18:16,463
Baby, I'm not tryin'
to pressure you one bit.
What if I can't have a baby?

380
00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:20,032
That could happen.

381
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:22,702
I could totally
let you down.

382
00:18:24,171 --> 00:18:26,406
Has that thought
not occurred to you?

383
00:18:26,473 --> 00:18:29,676
** [Acoustic Guitar: Alt Rock]
Not even for one second.

[Exhales]

385
00:18:34,647 --> 00:18:36,716
Not having a baby
would suck,

386
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:41,854
but the idea
of you letting me down...

387
00:18:41,921 --> 00:18:43,856
that's impossible.

388
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:47,860
That would be
like aliens landing.

389
00:18:49,396 --> 00:18:52,532
That's a bad example,
because that could happen.

390
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,768
It probably already has.
I saw this, uh, episode...

[Ted Narrating]
Nothing in this life
quite compares...

399
00:19:21,561 --> 00:19:25,565
to the sweet,
terrifying exhilaration
of making your move...

400
00:19:25,632 --> 00:19:28,868
when you just
put it all on the line
and go for it.

And that night, by golly,

00:19:31,771 --> 00:19:33,640

[Shutter Clicks]

So, no, that girl
wasn't your mother.

405
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:55,027
She ended up being
someone else's mother.

406
00:19:55,094 --> 00:19:57,196
In fact, they both did.

[Ted Narrating]
That was not the day
I met your mother.

411
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:15,782
The day I met your mother
was the day of a wedding.

412
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:18,485
Okay, maybe
I'm a little nervous.

413

Dude, it's just
a wedding toast.
I know.

I want it to be great,

whole day to be great.

You're being summoned.

Oh, geez. What now?
Ted, seriously, relax.
Everything's f...

Okay. And it's raining.
Yeah. You were saying?

418
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:37,036
You didn't happen to bring
an umbrella, did you?

I mean, everyone told us
that it might take a while,

423
00:20:49,716 --> 00:20:53,286
but we thought we might be
the exception of the rule.

I mean, feelin' good
about the future.

Obviously,
this goes without saying,

427
00:21:02,429 --> 00:21:04,497
but you won't tell Lily
about any of this, right?

No!
No!
Of course not.
