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]

NNatalie

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

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

NNatalie

It's my birthday!

Yes, I know it's just...

NNatalie

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

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

NNatalie

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

I can't explain.

NNatalie

Try!

Well, it's just ineffable.

NNatalie

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

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

NNatalie

So I'm stupid?

What's going on?

NNatalie

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!

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

NNatalie

WHAT!?

I'm just like super busy right now.

FTFuture Ted

Remember when Natalie said...

NNatalie

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

FTFuture 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]
