[in 2014, Ted and the Mother are in the same bar at Farhampton]
You wanna hear something funny? One year ago today, almost to the minute, I was sitting at this very table, right in that seat. [points to seat]
Oh yeah, I can see it. You nursing that gin and tonic with three extra limes, doing the crossword. Probably being all showboaty about it.
I wasn't showboaty about it.
Vesuvius...booyah! [stares at puzzle] Wait that doesn't fit.
The point is, one year ago today, I made a promise to myself, right at this table.
What was the promise?
Ted and Flashback Ted: I'm coming back and I'm bringing you.
Wait a second. Hold it. One year ago today, you hadn't even met me.
I know, but I knew I would - and now it's a year later...
And here I am.
Here you are. Love in your eyes, baked goods in your undergarments.
Yeah, you picked a real winner, Mosby. [taps hand]
Yeah, I did. [long stare] Seriously, what the crap's taking so long with these rooms? It's like this last year. I'll be right back.
I'll be right here.
