Quote from Mickey in Tailgate
Future Ted: [v.o.] January 1st, 2012, East Meadow, New York. A woman answers her door to find something more enigmatic and mysterious than Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. Lily: Dad? Mickey: Hey. Lily: I thought you were in Chicago. Mickey: I was. [flashback to Mickey receiving a phone call from Lily:] Mickey: Great. Thanks. [hangs up] My daughter's having a baby! [present:] Lily: Did you drive all night? Mickey: Yeah. Well, Teddy and I split the drive. This guy's a maniac behind the wheel. Congrats, Princess. Lily: Happy New Year, Dad.
