All language subtitles for S01E16 - Cupcake

Kids, when it comes to love,

the best relationships are the ones
that just come naturally,

My first solo batch.

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

Here's a professional tip.

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

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

Things with Victoria were fun, And easy,
And uncomplicated,

No, no.

It was pretty great,

Are you coloring in your butt?

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

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

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

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

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

Dude, you show up to an interview in that,

even the hippie lawyers
from Granola Mountain Earth Pals

will hacky-sack you straight out the door.

Okay, it's
the National Resource Defense Council

and it's my dream job.

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

Mostly getting people coffee.

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

Okay. Tomorrow... And I should mention
this is gonna rock your world.

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

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

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

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

And there is no way you're getting married
in that sarcastic-quotation-marks "suit."

Tomorrow. Noon. My tailor.

No thanks, dude.

- Noon?
- Noon.

- Okay.
- See you then.

Hey, girls.

Hey, girls.

- Hey.
- Hey.

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

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

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

Robin.

Oh, come on. We bust on each other.

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

Really?

Get off me.

Oh, see? I did it again.

What are you guys up to? Dress shopping.

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

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

- Really? That would be great.
- Yeah.

I should take this. Bye. Hello?

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

What's with inviting Punky Brewster?

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

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

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

- Sold.
- Great.

Victoria, what's wrong?

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

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

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

but I'm in.

So, this is the Europe Germany?

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

- Ted.
- Sorry.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

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

And, if you do,
what does that mean for us?

I don't know.

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

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

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

So that leaves us with...

Either you stay here, or we break up.

Wow.

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

I have to leave on Monday.

- Monday, September the...
- Ted.

Do you have any thoughts?

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

We'll meet up tomorrow to discuss it.

It's a date.

And that's when
things got complicated,

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

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

Everything here is dark and sketchy,
and seems illegal.

It's like shopping in Barney's mind.

- Good luck, baby.
- Bye.

Hey, Barney?

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

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

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

You speak Ukrainian?

Guys. I'm kind of screwed here.

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

And long-distance definitely
isn't an option.

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

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

Hey, don't knock
long-distance relationships.

I really think they can work.

- Really? You?
- Absolutely.

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

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

And Kelly on 34th Street.

The lass thinks

I'm a humble sheep shearer from Killarney.

Ted, do you remember in college,

when Lily did that summer art program
in Paris?

Yeah.

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

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

And who shows up but Gabrielle.

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

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

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

and got the crazy eyes going. And I said,

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

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

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

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

To be even more honest, I am.

Other than confirming a lot of European
stereotypes about Americans,

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

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

long-distance still almost killed us.

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

you should ask her to stay.

Well, I don't know if she is. It's still
too early. But, yeah, she could be.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm attracted to other dog people.

- Are you sure?
- All right.

- Hello?
- Hey, random question.

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

Good to know. Okay, goodbye.

She's a cat person.
I don't know this girl at all.

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

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

Here, play with this pincushion.

God, I'm gonna look hot.

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

fighting a losing battle
for our planet's survival.

This is a suit for winners.
I am getting you an interview at my office.

We need good men like you
in our legal department.

We get sued. A lot.

No way. The kid does not sell out.

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

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

No. I've made my decision.

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

and, two weeks later, it's not working out,
I'm, like, the biggest jerk of all time.

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

I'm gonna tell her to go.

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

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

Okay, wait. Before you say anything,

I wanted to give you this.

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

I want you to stay.

Everything here is dark and sketchy,
and seems illegal.

It's like shopping in Barney's mind.

- Good luck, baby.
- Bye.

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

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

But I would like to look
like a beautiful princess.

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

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

Where does she get off?

She doesn't know
how much money I make.

These women are experts.

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

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

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

Speaking of which, Victoria,

have you decided what to do
about your donut fellowship?

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

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

All talking and no sex. Kill me now.

I know it sounds lame, but I actually think
that Ted might be the one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

- I really don't.
- Sex.

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

That's okay, guys, I hate it.

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

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

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

In college, I did an art course in Paris.
I was the only American there.

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

And she was kind of homely
and strange-looking.

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

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

and I never figured out why.

And then I had nobody.

The only thing that got me through was

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

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

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

Speak of the devil.

- Hello?
- Hey, random question.

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

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

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

Maybe he's gonna buy you one.

I did hear barking in the background.

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

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

That is low.
Do you really think that's what he's doing?

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

Oh, God. You guys are sucky liars.

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

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

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

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

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

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

She got a super-important
dessert scholarship.

Stop being sarcastic.

It is a super-important
dessert scholarship.

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

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

but she seems to make Ted happy.

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

Somebody say beautiful princess?

Oh, my gosh. It's perfect.

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

- Look how happy she is.
- Yeah.

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

who would never let any guy
mess with my career,

and now I'm actually thinking about it.

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

- I know what you mean.
- You do?

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

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

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

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

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

Robin, I think that you are the coolest.

I'm so glad that we're friends.

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

Okay, I am.

I'm gonna stay.

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

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

Wow. You look incredible.

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

Never ever, ever, ever,
ever times infinity.

Well, it's okay.

You know, what makes a bride beautiful

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

Oh, guys, I know, I look amazing,

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

Yes, you're right.

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

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

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

- It was like this when I found it.
- And how will you be paying for this?

Credit cards.

I wanted to give you this.

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

I want you to stay.

I have to go to Germany.

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

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

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

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

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

So it is?

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

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

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

and it reminded me how great you are.

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

Well, that's just crazy.

Okay.

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

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

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

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

I hate this.

So we're breaking up?

I guess so.

I guess so.

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

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

It was just too much pressure too soon.
I mean, maybe it was silly to even think...

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

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

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

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

Yeah, but she's still in town.

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

So you spend
one more amazing day together.

Ted, think about it this way,

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

would you sit on the couch
and cry about it,

or would you run and jump

and do some awesome air kicks
while you still could?

Awesome air kicks, huh?

- New pajama bottoms?
- You know it.

So, we can sit around and cry,

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

- Wait, so we're sharing the leg?
- No, the leg is a metaphor.

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

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

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

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

Well, what would you want to do?

Let's do all the stuff
we talked about doing

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

Yeah, we'll walk across
the Brooklyn Bridge.

See some monkeys at the zoo.

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

- Wow. We better get going.
- Yeah.

- Big day.
- Yeah.

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

The museum, The bridge, The restaurant,

And all of those nice things,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yet.

I almost forgot. Sergei sent me your bill.

Barney, this says $4,000.

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

Must be a $12,000 dollar suit.

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

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

I most certainly did!

Well, it won't work.

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

I'm not selling my soul.

Baby, I know that
this will make things harder,

but I will make it work. I promise.

I destroyed an $8,000 wedding dress.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even if we're not.

Okay.

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

Yes. Yes.

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

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

It didn't work,

Long-distance was and is a terrible idea,

A really terrible idea, Just awful,

But more on that later,
