Ted: Ok, but just tell me this, why Tony?
Stella: He’s… The One… I know, sounds kinda sappy, but… yeah.
Ted: Okay, I’m going to say something out loud that I”ve been doing a pretty good job of not saying out loud lately. What you and Tony have, what I thought, for a second, you and I had, what Marshall and Lily have… I want that. I do. I keep waiting for it to happen, and waiting for it to happen, and I guess I’m… I’m tired of waiting. And that is all I am going to say on that subject…
Stella: You know I once talked my way out of a speeding ticket? I was heading upstate to my parents house, doing like 90 on this country road, and I got pulled over. So this cop gets out of his car, and he kinda swaggers on over and he’s like “young lady, I have been waiting for you all day.” So I looked up at him and I said “I’m so sorry officer, I got here as fast a I could!”
Ted: For real?
Stella: No, it’s an old joke. I know that you’re tired of waiting, and you may have to wait a little while more, but she’s on her way, Ted. ….. And she’s getting here, as fast as she can…
