00:00:02,943 – > 00:00:06,283
Kids, I’m gonna tell you an incredible story ;
2
00:00:06,283 – > 00:00:08,650
The story of how I met your mother.
3
00:00:08,650 – > 00:00:11,047
Are we being punished for something?
4
00:00:11,047 – > 00:00:11,696
No.
5
00:00:11,696 – > 00:00:13,671
Yeah, is this gonna take a while?
6
00:00:13,671 – > 00:00:17,745
Yes. 25 years ago, before I was Dad,
7
00:00:17,745 – > 00:00:19,977
I had this whole other life.
8
00:00:23,800 – > 00:00:25,959
It was way back in 2005.
9
00:00:25,959 – > 00:00:28,878
I was 27, just starting to make it as an architect
10
00:00:28,878 – > 00:00:31,913
And living in New York with Marshall, my best friend from college.
11
00:00:31,913 – > 00:00:33,196
My life was good.
12
00:00:33,196 – > 00:00:36,127
And then Uncle Marshall went and screwed the whole thing up.
13
00:00:37,097 – > 00:00:38,851
Will you marry me?
14
00:00:39,652 – > 00:00:40,762
Yes. Perfect!
15
00:00:40,762 – > 00:00:42,930
And then you’re engaged.
You pop the champagne.
16
00:00:42,930 – > 00:00:43,715
You drink a toast.
17
00:00:43,715 – > 00:00:45,638
You have sex on the kitchen floor.
18
00:00:45,638 – > 00:00:47,535
Don’t have sex on our kitchen floor.
19
00:00:47,535 – > 00:00:48,271
Got it.
20
00:00:48,271 – > 00:00:49,817
Thanks for helping me plan this out, Ted.
21
00:00:49,817 – > 00:00:52,246
Dude, are you kidding?
It’s you
and Lilly.
22
00:00:52,246 – > 00:00:54,834
I’ve been there for all the big moments of you and Lilly :
23
00:00:54,834 – > 00:00:59,503
Night you met, your first date, other first things.
24
00:00:59,503 – > 00:01:02,440
Yeah, sorry.
We thought you were asleep.
25
00:01:02,440 – > 00:01:03,546
It’s physics, Marshall.
26
00:01:03,546 – > 00:01:06,421
If the bottom bunk moves, the top bunk moves, too.
27
00:01:07,791 – > 00:01:09,122
My God.
28
00:01:09,983 – > 00:01:11,986
You’re getting engaged tonight.
29
00:01:12,827 – > 00:01:15,649
Yeah. What are you doin’ tonight?
30
00:01:16,130 – > 00:01:17,646
What was I doing?
31
00:01:17,646 – > 00:01:20,340
Here Uncle Marshall was taking the biggest step of his life.
32
00:01:20,340 – > 00:01:21,251
And me?
33
00:01:21,251 – > 00:01:23,304
I’m calling up your Uncle Barney.
34
00:01:23,450 – > 00:01:26,743
Hey, so you know how I’ve always had a thing for half-Asian girls?
35
00:01:27,981 – > 00:01:32,089
Well, now I’ve got a new favorite… Lebanese girls.
36
00:01:32,089 – > 00:01:34,376
Lebanese girls are the new half-Asians.
37
00:01:35,000 – > 00:01:36,430
Hey, you want to do somethin’ tonight?
38
00:01:36,430 – > 00:01:39,683
Okay, meet me at the bar in 15 minutes. And suit up!
39
00:01:43,666 – > 00:01:44,913
Where’s your suit?
40
00:01:44,913 – > 00:01:47,662
Just once, when I say suit up, I wish you’d put on a suit.
41
00:01:47,662 – > 00:01:49,499
I did that one time.
42
00:01:49,499 – > 00:01:51,752
It was a blazer!
43
00:01:52,704 – > 00:01:56,220
You know, ever since college it’s been, Marshall and Lilly and me.
44
00:01:56,434 – > 00:01:59,193
Now, it’s gonna be Marshall and Lilly… and me.
45
00:01:59,193 – > 00:02:00,925
They’ll get married, start a family.
46
00:02:00,925 – > 00:02:05,757
