Lily: Unpause?
Marshall: Unpause.
Lily: Look, I know this sucks. It's just something I'm going through. I'm not asking you to understand it. I'm not asking you to be happy about it. I'm just asking you to support it.
Marshall: I want to, Lily, okay? I really do. But I just can't.
Lily: Why not?
Marshall: Because you're scaring the hell out of me, that's why not. What if you decide to go be a painter and then you realize I don't fit in to your life anymore, and three months becomes forever? Can you promise me that that's not gonna happen?
Lily: Marshall...
Marshall: 'Cause if you can't promise me that, we should just break up right now. I'm not gonna wait around for three months just to have my heart ripped out.
Lily: Marshall, I love you.
Marshall: Can you promise me that that's not gonna happen?
Lily: Pause.
Marshall: No, Lily, we cannot pause this anymore. Can you promise me that that's not gonna happen?!
Lily: Pause!
Marshall: Why do you want me to pause?! [Lily jumps on Marshall and kisses him] That's just a great use of the pause function, baby.
Lily: Thank you.
