Quote from The Mother in How Your Mother Met Me
Future Ted: [v.o.] The night Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall got engaged, the night I met Aunt Robin, was the night of your mom's 21st birthday. Kelly: Happy birthday. Where's Max? The Mother: He couldn't get a cab. Which is code for "waited until the last minute to get me a gift." Although he always nails it. Two years ago, he got me an exact replica of the Pee-wee's Big Adventure bike. And last year, he got me a one-man-band suit including knee cymbals. Kelly: And these are things you want? The Mother: No, these are things I need.
