[Robin is stunned to finally uncover her old locket's box - with no locket for her "Something Old."]
This is a sign from the universe.
It's not a sign from the universe.
Yes it is! The locket, it's gone and you tell me that doesn't mean anything? You know this is a bad omen, Ted. You're Universe Guy.
And you're Skeptic Girl! You're not supposed to believe any of that.
Maybe I've grown skeptical of being skeptical. This is a sign!
It's not a sign, you're doing the right thing marrying Barney. The universe isn't sending you some message! [begins to rain] As we know from science, rain is liquid water in the form of droplets which have condensed from atmospheric vapor and precipitated - it's not a sign!
Ted, this is a sign and you know it! I mean the universe is screaming at me right now and how can you of all people tell me to ignore that?
Because maybe it's dumb to look for signs from the universe, maybe the universe has better things to do - and dear God, I hope it does. Do you know how many signs I've gotten, how I should and shouldn't be with someone? Where has it gotten me? Maybe there aren't any signs. Maybe a locket's just a locket; a chair's just a chair. Maybe we don't have to give meaning to every little thing. Maybe we don't need the universe to tell us what we really want. Maybe we already know that. Deep down. [Robin holds his hand]
