How I met your mother- ep4- season 1
L for Lily, M for Marshall, T for Ted, R for Robin, B for Barney.
N for Natalie.
Kids, when you are single, all you are looking for is happily ever after. But among all your love stories, only one of them will lead to this end, the rest ends up with someone being hurt. Here is just one of these stories. It started with a shirt.
A shirt?
Because none of these would have happened if it hadn't been that shirt.
R: Nice shirt.
L: Brown and green go together and last.
M: Hot fashion
T: Right, I've bought this shirt 6 years ago. My taste has changed
B: Booger
R: Barney wants me to say stupid word during my live broadcast.
R: Didn't I mention it? I am an journalist.
L: City Hall, Miss Thing.
R: So I am not going to jeopadize my promotion by saying booger for 50 bucks.
T: Maybe it's time for me to start some second impressions.
B: Hold on. There are only two reasons to ever date a girl you've already dated again: breast and implant.
S (one of Ted's date): Hey this is difficulty to say. When I first move to LA, I am pretty broke. I made adult movies for a month.
L: See what you learn about the porn industry. They are hard workers.
Jackie (one of Ted's date): I know the feeling. When I was 16. I was driving and I hit this hitchhiker. Don't know what happened to him. Just kept driving. Haaaaa.
L: What about Natalie?
Natalie. I have so many fun memories with her. The tea candles on her dresser. The sock monkeys on the bed.
T: Maybe I should call her. What do you guys think?
B: You dumped a porn star. Friendship over.
Adams(Robin's boss): I need to you cover a story. It's down at the city hall.
R: So next time you are passing the City Hall. Make sure you stop by New York's oldest hot-dog cart. You can get one for only a nipple. Reporting live, Robin Scherbatsky.
R: I said nipple on the news. It's so unprofessional.
L: At least it's better than booger.
R: There is no next challenge no matter how much you offer me.
L: I am just assuming...
R: I need to get back to work. Baby is gonna think about it.
T: Found it. I found Natalie's number.
L: Nice shirt, Ted! Is it yesterday already?
T: I am calling her. This is crazy. I haven't talked to her for like 3 years. Wondering if she remembers me. Natalie! It's Ted Mosby.
N: Go to Hell!
T: She remembers me.
L: Why would Natalie hang up on you?
B: Did you sleep with her sister? Did you sleep with her Mom? Losing interest in your story.
L: But you've must done something.
T: No I didn't dump her right before her birthday.
L: NEVER DUMP A GIRL ON HER BIRTHDAY!!!
T: Lily, look! The shirt!
L: Did she cry her eyes out?
T: Natalie, hey, Happy Birthday! Listen... You are awesome. You really are. Awesome. I am just like super busy right now. Maybe we should just call it a day. But you're awesome. Okay, Bye.
L: On her answering machine? On her birthday?? Who would break up with someone over her answering machine on her brithday???
M: Ok, in my client's defense.
L: Hi Marshall, This is Lily. We are not going to have sex for at least a month. But You are awesome. Ok, bye-bye
T: Ok, it's childish and selfish. I just didn't want to see her crying.
L: Guess what, she cried. You just don't have the ？？ to face the tears.
R: Before you say anything, I just wanna say that I really like working here on Metro News One. Was that all? And nothing about the twins' story.
Adams: Oh yeah, great job on that one. New York loves you. You are a super star. Bye-bye.
T: Natalie. Come on, I just wanna say I am sorry. I only came down here because you didn't pick up my call.
N: Here is an idea. Why don't leave a message?
T: Haha, good one. Ok, fine, I am just gonna leave this sock monkey here. Bye.
T: There's a surprise party that night. How can't nobody ever tell me? People think I can't keep a secret, but I totally can.
N: So you think I absolutely have no self-respect.
T: Come on Natalie, give the guy another chance. Self-respect is overrated. Krav Maga.
So Natalie and I started dating again. All the things have come back. The tea candles, the sock monkeys, the Belle and Sebastian. It seems like my happily-ever-after isn't far off.
M: She is like the best girl you've dated in years.
T: She's terrific but I have to break up with her.
L: Why couldn't you leave that poor girl alone?
T: I know, I hate it. These past three weeks had been great, I should have been in love with her. But I just don't feel that thing. It's ineffable.
M: So what are you going to do with it?
B: She has jumped on the subway right now. You can call her voicemail. Dumped. Click.
M: There is no better in breaking-up. There is only less awful. And a cliche is a cliche for a reason.
B: You look fat in those jeans. You are free to go.
L: Ted, why can't you tell her the truth?
B: The truth, haha, honey, men are working here.
T: Why is it so horrible that she is not the one?
M: She is going to cry
L: And she is gonna sit there and she's gonna take it like a man.
B: New challenge. And this one is big. So it's a cach reward, for $1000, you heard me, all you have to do is to stand up on the news and you do this
R: What the hell is that?
So next night I took Natalie out for dinner to do the mature thing.
N: Today at work, I had not one, not two, but three birthday cakes. So tonight can we just skip the cake?
N: Oh, it's ok. You already give me the best gift ever. I can trust again.
Henry(the oldest hansom cab driver): But the most exciting moment, that has to be the one right now. Look at me, I am on TV. I never thought I've had my story told.
B: Everyone, everyone, can I have your attention for the television please?
R: It's an honor to report your story, Henry. You know Metro News One may not be the No.1 with viewershp. But this reporter takes pride in...
M: You plan that.
B: No, Marshall. That was beyond my wild extremes.
T: Look there's something I wanna say. And there is no good way saying it. I wanna break up. I don't think you are the one for me. I don't wanna waste your time cause I really like you. The best way for me to do that is just to be honest. Just let it out. They are only teas.
N: So dating you is like winning the lottery? You broke my heart over my answering machine, on my brithday, waited 3 years for me to get over, tracked me down, begged me to go out with you, only to dump me after 3 weeks again on my birthday!!!
B: Isn't it nice to know someone are watching?
T: The truth has a mean, round horse kick.
T: Only thought I did the good way this time. I guess there is no good way.
No happily-ever-after, only a lot of hurt.
You got beat up by a girl.
Hey, she knew Krav Maga.
