Robin: This is a sign from the universe.
Ted: It's not a sign from the universe...
Robin: Yes, it is! The- The locket is just gone and you're telling me that doesn't mean anything? You know this is a bad omen, Ted.. You're Universe Guy!
Ted: And you're Skeptic Girl! You're- You're not supposed to believe any of that.
Robin: Well, maybe I've grown skeptical of being skeptical. [voice breaking] This is a sign.
Ted: Look, it's not a sign. You're doing the right thing marrying Barney. The universe isn't sending you some message.
[Thunder claps, rain pours]
Ted: As we know from science, rain is liquid water in the form of droplets which have condensed from atmospheric vapor and then precipitated. It's not a sign.
Robin: Ted, this is a sign and you know it. I mean, the universe is screaming at me right now! How-how-how can you, of all people, tell me to ignore that?
Ted: Because maybe it's dumb to look for "signs from the universe." I mean, maybe the universe has better things to do. Dear God, I hope it does. Do you know how many "signs" I've gotten that I should or shouldn't be with someone? And where has it gotten me? Maybe there aren't any signs. Maybe... maybe a locket's just a locket, a chair is just a chair. Maybe we don't have to give meaning to every little thing. Maybe we don't... Maybe we don't need the Universe to tell us what we really want. Maybe we already know that, deep down.
