Ted Quote #1024
Quote from Ted in Mystery Vs. History
Ted: Uh, Janet. I have a theory. People don't get the chance to just discover each other anymore, so... here's my idea. Before we go out tomorrow, let's not do any prior Internet research on each other. It sounds like I'm hiding something horrible, doesn't it?
Janet: I'm pretty sure you're a serial killer.
Ted: I'm not. I'm not. It's just, you know, like, when my parents met, they didn't have the Internet, they just went out on a blind date and fell in love.
Janet: That's nice. And they're still together?
Ted: Right up to the divorce. The point is, I'd love to get to know you in person, not on my computer.
Janet: I like that. What started out sounding really creepy turned out really sweet.
Ted: That's kind of my move.

Quote from Ted
Future Ted: [v.o.] By the fall of 2011, technology had taken a lot of the intrigue out of life. The Internet had everyone's wall of information. Nothing was a mystery anymore. But, kids, there was a time before that, way back in the dark ages.
[the gang at MacLaren's in 2005:]
Ted: Are you people insane?! The most popular food in America is the cheeseburger!
Lily: No way! It's pizza!
Marshall: Are we forgetting about a certain Mr. Furter, first name Frank?
Robin: Um, what did every kid bring in their lunchbox every day till grade eight? Pancakes with maple syrup.
Barney: Thanks, Canada. We're looking for a food the average American eats. Oh! Chinese food.
Future Ted: [v.o.] And then came the smartphone.
[the gang at MacLaren's in 2011, everyone staring at their phone:]
Robin: Hey, remember when we were arguing about the most popular food? It's bread.
All: Hmm.
Future Ted: [v.o.] And the barroom debate was dead.
Quote from Robin
Robin: Sweet mother of God! A dog in Ottawa ran all the way to Saskatoon! What? We figured out the Janet thing. I'm catching up on Canada.
Quote from Marshall
Barney: You guys have to see this.
Lily: No. We're with Ted on this. We don't want to find out about Janet, just like we don't want to find out about the baby.
Marshall: Because we like mystery, whether it's the hairy majesty of Bigfoot, or the bloodsucking ferocity of the Chupacabra, or the gender of our little miracle.
Lily: Thanks for putting those together in the same sentence, sweetie.
