Quote from Lily in The Rough Patch
Alan Thicke: Let me repeat, I am Alan Thicke. Meg: You're Alan Thicke? Alan Thicke: No. Lily: Alan Thicke, you're up. Get on out there. Future Ted: [v.o.] And so, Lily followed through with her plan. First, Alan Thicke, followed by Crazy Meg, then the robot and, finally, the dirty dishes. But by the end of it... Lily: They're kissing. They shouldn't be kissing. Why isn't this working? Ted: Because they're in love. Marshall: It really was just a rough patch. Lily: What the hell am I doing? This whole thing was a mistake.
