Future Ted: [v.o.] So, Lily was betting against me and Robin. I just didn't know it.
Lily: Okay, you want to make it work with Robin? You need to stay on her radar. Call her right now.
Ted: She's on the plane. Her phone's off.
Lily: Oh, my God! How adorable would it be if when the plane lands, she turns on her phone and her mailbox is full of messages from you?!
Marshall: Ted, don't leave her any voice mails.
Ted: Why not?
Marshall: Because...
Lily: Because you need to go to Russia. With love! Surprise her. Make the, in no way creepy, grand romantic gesture that we all know Robin loves. Oh!
Ted: So I just walk up to her in Red Square with a dozen roses? Or float down to her in my hot air balloon with ten dozen roses!
Lily: Yes, that's perfect!
Marshall: Not like this, Lily. Not like this.
Ted: If you'll excuse me, I've got some sonnets to write.
