How I Met Your Mother · Season 1, Episode 4

Natalie, Ted and others in “Return of the Shirt”

[Ted just told Natalie that he wants to break up with her...again]

Natalie

[after throwing a handful of spaghetti at him] I'm NOT THE ONE FOR YOU!?

Ted

I-I'm sorry. I thought that was the mature thing to do, I...

Natalie

It's my birthday!

Ted

Yes, I know it's just...

Natalie

It's my birthday, and you're telling me I'm not the one for you?

Ted

It's no big deal. It's odd, like you lost the lottery--

Natalie

Oh, so dating you's like winning the lottery? [Ted stammers] So what's the problem?

Ted

I can't explain.

Natalie

Try!

Ted

Well, it's just ineffable.

Natalie

Oh, so I'm not 'F-able'?

Ted

No, no, no, ineffable means it can't be explained.

Natalie

So I'm stupid?

Ted

What's going on?

Natalie

What's going on is, you broke my heart over my answering machine on my birthday. Waited three years for me to get over you, tracked me down, begged me to go out with you again, only so you could dump me three weeks later, again on my birthday!

Ted

No no, it's not like that...it's just...it's just-

Natalie

WHAT!?

Ted

I'm just like super busy right now.

Future Ted

Remember when Natalie said...

Natalie

[in flashback, at the bar] I got a Krav Maga class in about half an hour.

Future Ted

It turns out that Krav Maga is not a form of yoga. It's a form of guerrilla street fighting developed by the Israeli Army.

[Natalie proceeds to beat up Ted]
