Marshall
So, when Lily and I get married, who's gonna get the apartment?
Ted
Oh, that's a tough one. You know who I think could handle a problem like that?
Marshall
Who?
Ted
Future Ted and Future Marshall.
Marshall
Totally. Let's let those guys handle it.
Ted
Dammit Past Ted
Barney
You blew it, dude. Now that Lily's there, it's a whole new dynamic. They're edging you out.
Ted
That's crazy. They're not edging me out. Marshall's my best friend.
Ted
One of my best friends. He wouldn't do that to me.
Barney
Just keep your eyes open. That's all I'm saying, Ted. Little things are gonna be changing around that apartment.
Robin
Come on, Barney, you're just being paranoid. OK, seriously, what is this girl's deal?
Barney
Sort of on a date with her.
Ted
What?
Barney
I found her online. I'm tired of the whole bar scene, the one-night hookups. I'm looking for a soul-mate, someone who I can love and cuddle, or so it says in my profile. (evil laugh) But this girl, she wants the same stuff and it's bumming me out. All right, Ted, call me from the hospital.
Ted
All right.
Robin
You're going to the hospital?
Ted
No, see, he's gonna go back over there and I'm gonna call him and he's gonna pretend that it's an emergency call from a family member at the hospital.
Robin
Oh, Lord, fake emergency? That is lamest, most pathetic cop-out in the book. I expect more from you, Barney.
Barney
Well, stay tuned, I'm working on some stuff. But in the meantime, wish me luck.
Robin
So, are you gonna talk to Marshall?
Ted
He's gonna want the apartment. I'm gonna want the apartment. It's gonna lead to an argument, so no.
Robin
Hm, that's real healthy. So, when a serious issue comes up, your response is just to avoid it.
Ted
I should really make this call.
Robin
Ooh, can I do it?
Barney
Hello? Robin: Hi there, sexy.
Barney
Hello, Aunt Kathy, what's up?
Robin
Oh, nothing. Just sitting here, thinking about you, hot stuff.
Barney
An accident? Well, is Uncle Rudy gonna be OK? Robin: Aunt Kathy's got an itch that only you can scratch, big boy.
Barney
Oh God! Why did he think he could build his own helicopter?
Robin
Come on, daddy, break me off a piece of that white chocolate.
Barney
Well, if he needs a transplant, he can have mine. I'll be right there.
Barney
See you guys later.
Ted
Ah, this'll be nice, the three of us living together. I think it's a good setup.
Ted
Man, this coffee's great. It's really great. Too great.
Ted
What happened to Shocky?
Ted
What's this? Lily: My coffeemaker from my apartment. Makes great coffee, right?
Ted
Yeah, definitely. I mean, so does Shocky.
Marshall
Really? I always thought Shocky's coffee tasted kinda rusty.
Ted
Yeah, no, it did. I mean, I kinda liked the rusty taste. I'm used to it. I don't know.
Marshall
Also Lily's coffeemaker doesn't, you know, shock you.
Ted
No. You gotta admit, that shock, wakes you up in the morning
Marshall
You know what else wakes you up in the morning? Coffee.
Ted
That's great. You're right. Roomies! I love it.
Ted
They're edging me out. They're totally edging me out. I didn't' believe it but you're right.
Barney
Told you. That Lily, she's a shrewd one.
Robin
Yeah, she got you a nice new coffeemaker. How dare she!
Ted
It's not just the coffeemaker.
Lily
Done. The painting's done.
Marshall
That is great.
Ted
Nice.
Marshall
Where do you wanna hang it?
Lily
I don't know. Um, over the piano?
Ted
Yeah, that would be a good place for it. Too bad the swords are there. We kinda love those swords.
Marshall
Well, those swords have been up there a long time.
Ted
I know, right? I'd really miss them too. So, maybe Marshall's room?
Lily
OK.
Ted
He was gonna take the swords down. Can you believe that?
Robin
Ted, why don't you just talk to him? He's your best friend.
Robin
One of your best friends. The point is, maybe it's time for some healthy communication.
Barney
Healthy communication? That's the worst idea ever. Look, you held off their first advance. That's good. Now it's time to counter-strike.
Ted
Yeah, well, what am I supposed to do?
Barney
You gotta mark your territory, and I don't mean missing the toilet. You gotta do something big.
Ted
What, like buy a new sofa?
Barney
Bigger.
Barney
Katie's here. OK, real quick, last night, epiphany! I realized what the world of dating needs. Ready? A lemon law.
Robin
A lemon law, like for cars.
Barney
Exactly. From the moment the date begins you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to commit to an entire evening. And if you don't, it's no hard feelings just good night, thanks for playing, see you never. Huh? Huh? The lemon law, it's gonna be a thing, possibly starting right now.
Barney
Hi Katie. Barney.
Katie
Hi, it's good to finally meet you.
Barney
Hm, yeah. Katie, you are about to be a part of history.
Barney (yelling to Katie as she leaves)
Tell your friends.
Barney (to Robin and Ted at other table)
It's gonna be a thing.
Lily
Man, Ted's been acting weird. He started labeling all his food. He even carved "Ted" into that block of cheese.
Marshall
Yeah. Well, now it's Ed's.
Lily
He's not cool with me moving in.
Marshall
No, that's not it. I mean, you basically lived here all along. Ted loves you.
Lily
So, what's he PMS'ing about?
Marshall
I don't know. But when he's ready to talk to me about it he'll come and talk to me about it.
Lily
Are you kidding? You guys never talk about anything.
Lily
He'll just let it fester under the surface until he does something big and passive-aggressive.
Marshall
You clearly don't know Ted.
Delivery guy
Delivery for Ted Mosby.
Marshall
Your English phone booth arrived.
Ted
Oh, awesome. It's great, right?
Marshall
Yeah, I guess. Just not sure if Lily's gonna like it.
Ted
Well, I like it, so I'm just gonna keep it right here, if that's cool.
Marshall
Of course, we all live here so we should all be able to have things the way we want them.
Ted
Exactly.
Marshall
Great
Marshall
Terrific.
Marshall
You like the phone booth. It stays. I like this painting so I'm just gonna hang it...right here on the wall.
Ted
Oh, so it's like that, is it?
Marshall
Bring, bring.
Marshall (in British accent)
Oh hello governor, oh it's like isn't it? Cheerio.
Marshall
Yeah, it's like that.
Ted
I want this apartment.
Marshall
Well, I want it too.
Girl #2
You're a jerk.
Barney
No, I'm a visionary. Lemon law, it's gonna be a thing!
Robin
For the record, your little lemon law is a symbol of everything that's wrong with our no-attention span society.
