Quote from Ted in The Ducky Tie
[flashback to Ted and Victoria at her bakery:] Victoria: Okay. Fine. Just let yourself off the hook on a technicality! Forget the fact that you did cheat on me! Ted: Forget it? I will never forget it. Okay? I will never stop regretting it, because what we had meant that much to me! I just... I wish it had meant something to you, too. Victoria: Are you kidding? I loved you! Ted: Did you? Victoria: Yes. We had such an amazing time together. Do you remember that night we found that crazy videotape of Barney? Ted: Game night. We played that ridiculous game Marshall invented. Victoria: Marshgammon. Ted: Yeah. We've played it a few times since. I still don't get it. Victoria: Remember the night we met? Ted: I remember you not letting me kiss you. Victoria: Remember why? Ted: You had this ridiculous idea that the moment leading up to the kiss... Victoria: The drum roll. Ted: ...is as good as the kiss itself. Victoria: Isn't it? Ted: Well, it's certainly more innocent. Victoria: It's completely harmless. Ted: Completely. [Ted and Victoria kiss]
