Ted: I'd love to have no interest in a relationship. There's no way I'd be single right now if I wanted to be single.
Lily: Okay, now you're ready.
Ted: Ready for what?
Lily: Three years ago, this girl Shelly started teaching at my school. The moment I saw her, I was like, "this is the girl for Ted."
Ted: Why am I just hearing about her now?
[flashback to Lily and Shelly entering MacLaren's three years earlier:]
Shelly: You know, I usually hate being set up but this Ted just sounds so great.
Lily: Oh, he is. He's so sweet and thoughtful and intelligent.
[Ted has a mouth full of chicken fingers as Marshall eggs him on]
Marshall: Come on, buddy! One more chicken finger and the crown is yours!
Lily: I don't see him anywhere. He must be out doing charity work. So, different bar?
Ted: [mouth full] That girl with Lily's pretty cute!
