Ted: Okay, but just tell me this. Why Tony? I mean, is it the money, the kung fu pajamas? Like, what... What is it?
Stella: He's the one.
Ted: The one.
Stella: Yeah, I know it's kinda sappy, but, yeah.
Ted: Okay, I'm gonna 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 I know that 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 just... I'm tired of waiting. And that is all I'm going to say on that subject.
Stella: You know, I once talked my way out of a speeding ticket?
Ted: Really?
Stella: 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. He kind of swaggers on over and he's, like, "Young lady, I have been waiting for you all day." And so I looked up at him and I said, "I'm so sorry, Officer. I got here as fast as 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.
Ted: Bye, Stella.
Stella: Bye, Ted.
