[flashback to Ted, Marshall and Karen on a plane to France:]
Ted: I am so excited you're here.
Karen: I'm so excited to go to Paris.
Marshall: I'm so excited to have sex again.
Lily: [v.o.] But just before the plane took off...
Karen: Wait, I wanna tell you something.
Ted: Really? 'Cause I think I wanna tell you the same thing.
Karen: Is your thing, " I had sex with my philosophy professor last night"? 'Cause that's my thing.
Lily: [v.o.] And thus began the longest seven-and-a-half hours of Marshall's life.
[later:]
Lily: [v.o.] When I picked them up at the airport...
Karen: Ted broke up with me. I need to sleep in your room this week. Marshall can bunk with Ted.
[present:]
Marshall: Two months! My balls were bleu! Bleu!
