So Karen in New York.Weird,right?
Ted,you cannot get back together with Karen.
I never said I was going to get back together with her.But I was thinking, she's new in town.Would it be the worst thing in the world if I gave her a call?
No,no,Ted,it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.It would be the fourth worst thing.Super volcano.An asteroid hits the Earth.All footage of Evel Knievel is lost.Ted calls Karen.Lily gets eaten by a shark.
