Blahblah: So, Lily, how did you and Ted meet? Come on, Lily, the real story.
Ted: I don't think anyone wants to hear that story.
Lily: Don't be embarrassed, Ted, it was a long time ago.
[flashback to Ted crying on the phone as Lily and Marshall enter his college dorm:]
Ted: I made a huge mistake last night, but it's like Descartes says. In order to determine whether there's anything we can know with certainty, we first have to doubt everything we know. And I now know for certain that I love you, Karen. Anyway, call me back when you get this. I'm also going down to the computer center to send you an electronic mail. [hangs up]
Marshall: [clears throat] Ted, this is Lily.
Ted: No, no, I'm sorry but I love Karen. [exits]
[present:]
Ted: Yes, that is the unabridged story of how Lily and I met. How embarrassing. Who wants another round?
