Barney
Nice. You ladies look good, but your outfits are missing just one thing.
Robin
No, Barney, this is as far as we're going to go. I'm not showing anymore...
Barney
Two beautiful flowers for two beautiful flowers.
Lily
Aw. Sweet. Thank you.
Barney
Oh, Robin, are you tearing up?
Robin
No. I've never been to prom before, okay?
Lily
We got to go. See ya.
Ted
Bye, have fun. See you.
Marshall
They grow up into skanks so fast, don't they, Ted?
Ted
So, what, we ready for tonight?
Marshall
Yeah. Just one thing we got to do first.
Ted
Shot of Jim Beam?
Marshall
Yeah.
Ted
Yes!
Marshall
And then I promised Lily that we'd stuff 200 wedding invitations.
Ted
What?!
Marshall
I'm sorry, dude, but you saw how stressed out she is.
Ted
Come on! You've been doing wedding stuff nonstop. Take a break. Once you're married, if we go out and you get so drunk you throw up, it'll be sad, but if we do it tonight... it'll be less sad.
Marshall
Okay, it'll be cool-- I'll tell you what. We'll make a game out of it. First one to stuff a hundred invitations gets a big prize.
Ted
Do I look like I'm four? All right, what kind of prize are we talking?
Lily
Wow, a lot more security than when we were kids.
Robin
Is this gonna work?
Lily
Yeah. Look, when I was 17, I used to sneak into clubs all the time. It's all about confidence. Follow me. Whee-hoo! Happy prom, everybody. Going to prom-- whee-hoo!
Security guard
Uh, you're adults.
Lily
Okay, bye. Okay, look, I just need to see the band. I'm getting married in two months, and...
Security guard
And you're just finding a band?
Barney
Hey, ho, hey!
Security guard
I'm sorry, ma'am. You either need to be a student or the date of a student.
Lily
Wow. "Ma'am?" Check and mate.
Barney
It's cool. Time to activate plan B. Scherbotsky, how comfortable are you with a crossbow? Scherbotsky?
Robin
Hey, guys. Do you want to take two hot girls to prom?
Boy
We don't have that kind of money.
Robin
For free.
Boy
Oh, hell yeah!
Robin
Great. I'm Robin, this is my friend Lily.
Lily
Hi. Shall we?
Boy
Sure. I knew it would happen. This is the dream.
Robin
Oh, hey, wait. How's Barney getting in?
Barney
Don't worry about me. I'll get in. Oh... I'll get in.
Lily
We're in!
Singer
Thank you. We're going to take a break.
Lily
Oh, you're kidding me.
Boy #1
Hey, uh, you ladies want something to take the edge off?
Robin
Yeah, what the hell? It's prom. That tastes like cough syrup.
Boy #1
Yeah, we couldn't get any alcohol. Um, our fake IDs say we're only 20. We didn't realize it till after we bought them.
Robin
Nerds who aren't good at math? Life's going to be rough, boys.
Lily
Hi. Excuse me. I was wondering if you guys could play "Good Feeling" by the Violent Femmes. I know it's probably not in your repertoire, but I'm getting married and my fiancé wants to hire you guys as the band, but I can't sign off on it until I hear you play "Good Feeling" because that's our song, and what kind of wedding band would you be if you couldn't play our song, right? Right?
Man
Look, I'm kinda wasted right now, so I didn't understand any of that. But, uh, if you get us the sheet music, we'll play your song.
Boy #1
So, you buzzing, baby?
Robin
My phlegm feels looser.
Ted
This is pathetic. It's guys' night. We should be out in a bar getting in fights. If I got in a fight, would you have my back?
Marshall
You know it.
Ted
I'd have your back, too.
Marshall
That's cool.
Ted
What, you don't think you'd need my help? You don't know what I can do. I'm like... like a berserker.
Marshall
Okay, Ted. (His phone starts rigging) Hello.
Robin
Hey, it's Robin. Um, Lily needs you to download the sheet music for "Good Feeling" and bring it out here, like, now.
Marshall
Hang on. It's Robin. She wants me to go to prom. Can Ted come?
Ted
Wait! Don't ask! That's so lame! I don't even want to go anyway.
Robin
Uh, I don't know. Things have been so weird between us.
Ted
What'd she say? What'd she say?
Robin
He lied and told me he broke up with his girlfriend to try to hook up with me. I mean, I know he apologized for it but it's just, it's not easy to forgive. Look, if you absolutely must bring Ted, it's, it's not like I'm going to claw my own eyes out if he comes.
Marshall
Okay, bye. She totally wants you to come.
Robin
All right, sheet music's on the way. Are you okay?
Lily
There's just so much to do for this wedding. My head is swirling. It's just all moving too fast.
Scooter
How is it moving too fast? We've been together for two years.
Lily
I just... I just don't want everything in my life to be decided already.
Scooter
What's decided? I go to umpire school, you go to college. We move into my dad's house in Staten Island. We have kids, we grow old together. What's decided? It's wide open!
Lily
Scooter, when I go off to college, that's the end for us.
Scooter
You're, you're breaking up with me?
Lily
There's still so much I want to do. I want to travel, live overseas as an artist, maybe have a lesbian relationship. Plus, I think I was just dating you 'cause you look a little bit like Kurt Cobain.
Scooter
I can't believe this. I can change. I can look more like Kurt Cobain. Please, just don't leave me. I'm nothing without you, baby.
Lily
Please don't put that kind of pressure on me! It's too much!
Boy #2
It's just one dance, God!
Lily
What?
Robin
Well, we did promise them one dance.
Lily
Yeah, sure, okay. So Andrew, what's your big plan? What's life going to be like after tonight?
Andrew
Well, you know I got it all worked out. Uh, leave this place in my dust, four awesome years at college, and then I'll move to Prague or start my own video game company or something.
Lily
No, you won't.
Andrew
I won't?
Lily
No, you won't accomplish anything you set out to. You'll get a girlfriend the first day of college and you'll give up your independence and you'll never live abroad and you'll wind up old before your time wondering "Whatever happened to my hopes and my dreams?"
Andrew
Whoa. You really think I'll get a girlfriend?
Boy #1
So, uh, what's the deal here? Am I getting lucky tonight?
Robin
Oh, Sean, look, um, you're a nice guy, but I just don't... No, you're not getting lucky tonight.
Giant Turtle
Okay, just be cool. Don't look at me.
Ted
Okay.
Giant Turtle
How'd you get in here?
Marshall
What's it to you, giant turtle?
Giant Turtle
It's me, Barney.
Marshall
Oh, hey. Where's Lily?
Barney
She's in the bathroom.
Marshall
Wait here, I should go talk to the band.
Ted
All right.
Barney
How did you guys get in here?
Ted
We just snuck in the back.
Barney
You just snu... Are you serious? I've been trying to get in here all night. I finally paid a janitor 200 bucks to let me borrow this mascot costume.
Ted
But you got in. Slow and steady won the race.
Marshall
Hey, bro, have you seen my fiancée Lily?
Andrew
Your fiancée? Whoa, tonight she's with me, bro. Unless you're looking for trouble.
Marshall
Listen, little buddy, I understand it's prom and the adrenaline's pumping, but...
