Ted? I'm calling you from Chicago, Illinois where I'm a key player in a very successful architectural firm.
Oh, yeah, I read about that.
All right, about what you read...
You built that big concave glass tower.
concave 凸型
And it melted a few buildings across the street. Yes, fine, but come on. What architect hasn't made a major design flaw that raised the temperature of the city aquarium to 190 degrees and killed thousands of very rare fish? That's the past, Ted. I'm looking forward. I want you on my team. And I won't take no for an answer.
melt 徐々に消失させる take no for an answer ノーという返事を受け入れる
No.
I don't think you heard me, Ted.
No.
Come on, Ted! Please? They're gonna give me a parking spot if you say yes.
Do I get a parking spot?
Well, we can go tandem.
No.
Every other week then?
No.
You know, Chicago's more of a walking town.
No.
All right! You can have the parking spot. So, that's a yes?
Mm, no.
Look, Ted. I can make your life very difficult.
How?
How?! I will call you a lot. I will Tweet at you like crazy. I will live on your Facebook wall!
We're not Facebook friends.
Yeah, what's going on with that? It's been pending, like, for eight months now. Look, Ted, you're a... a very hot commodity. Everybody loves the GNB Tower. And how it hasn't blinded any pilots on final approach into O'Hare. And I-I may have told the partners here that you and I are very, very good friends. So, please, just say that you'll think about it.
Fine. I'll think about it.
Druthers shoots, he scores!

Sad? Lady, I got 14 girls' numbers in the last hour. And this was an off night. What can I possibly be sad about?
I think you were in love and you messed it up. And every moment of your life since then has been spent trying to stay busy enough to ignore that fact.
And that's how Barney met your mother.
Well, the Generals lost.
What a nail biter... the whole fourth quarter my heart was in my throat.

What was the final?
216 to 12. Nobody talk to me right now, I can't even...
The strangest thing happened at the game. I got a phone call from an unknown number. And when I answered I... You're eating olives.
Yup.
Do you want these? I hate olives.
I... thought you hate olives.
I guess I changed my mind.
Ah! Hello, partner! Boy, that just sounds right, doesn't it?
Yeah, actually, Mr.Druthers. My answer is no.
What? No, Ted, come on!
I'm sorry, I still have things to do here in New York.
I am going to build a tower of glass and melt you with it!
No, you won't.
No, I won't, but know this. After today this offer is gone forever. When I hang up this phone, you and I are done. The door is closed!
Okay. The door's always open, Ted. If you change your mind, just call me back, okay? Bye. I think he's coming around.
We tried dating a while back and it was a disaster. But I-I always regret giving up. It just ended so quickly. What about you? You and your boyfriend gonna go the distance?
go the distance 最後までやり抜く
I don't know. I think maybe I still haven't met the right guy.
Hmm. I wonder if I know someone to set you up with. Drawing a blank.
Are you gonna go get this girl? Or what?
I don't know. I'm kind of at my peak right now. I don't know if I can just walk away from the game.
Do you want to keep playing or do you want to win?
I want to win. What am I doing? In less than 20 minutes, Robin and I could be...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It's gonna take a lot more than 20 minutes. This is gonna take everything you have got. This is gonna take all of your time, all of your attention. All of your resources. This is the big one. Diaper man. You got to do it right. Can't be messing around, picking up girls in drug stores. You got work to do.
We're not platonic. Platon-ish, maybe. If that's even a word. But not platonic. I mean, there's something between us. And there always will be. If rain won't... If this was eight years ago, I'd be jumping into a cab right now to go steal that blue French horn.
Well, why don't you?
I don't know. Just doesn't seem to work that way anymore. I used to be in such a hurry all the time, you know? Everything was so urgent. Now, I just, I don't know, I figure... it's gonna happen, it'll happen when it happens. I'm not going anywhere, she's not going anywhere. What's the rush, right?
I have no idea who that girl was. But she set me straight. After that, I had one challenge and one challenge only. Get Robin Scherbatsky to fall in love with me.
Challenge completed.
