Quote from Ted in I Heart NJ
Future Ted: [v.o.] I lived in New York, but Stella was living across the river in New Jersey... [By the time Ted reaches Stella, she is asleep on the couch] Ted: Oh, man. Future Ted: [v.o.] Which meant I was always taking the train. Man: What's up, Ted? Ted: Hey, Matisse. [Ted arrives back at MacLaren's:] Marshall: Theodore! Barney: T-Diddy! You missed it. Lily: Robin got that national anchor job. Robin: And we got a free bottle of champagne. Marshall: But it's empty now. Ted: Oh, man. Future Ted: [v.o.] And, as a result, it seemed like I was missing out on everything. [When Ted arrives at Stella's, she and her daughter are already eating] Ted: Oh, man.
