[flashback to Ted running into Victoria at an event:]
Ted: Instead of the obligatory awkward small talk, let me just kick this off by saying I'm really, really sorry.
Victoria: Thanks. It's unnecessary, but thanks.
[present:]
Ted: So, wasn't awkward.
Robin: It was a little awkward.
Ted: Not really.
Robin: It was a little awkward. Lucky for you, the cavalry rode in to smooth things over.
[flashback:]
Robin: So, uh... I stole your boyfriend! That was, like, crazy! Like, what?! But... bridge, water under it. It was all Ted's fault. He got me drunk. What? Yeah! Be right there.
Ted: Oh, guess who's here? Robin.
