<i>NARRATOR:
In the fall of 2009, a new
couple had moved in upstairs.</i>

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,867
<i>We hadn't met them yet,</i>

3
00:00:04,867 --> 00:00:07,434
<i>but we could hear them,
all the time.</i>

4
00:00:07,434 --> 00:00:08,734
<i>They were always...</i>

5
00:00:08,734 --> 00:00:10,533
<i>Well, kids, let's just say
they were always</i>

6
00:00:10,533 --> 00:00:12,134
<i>"playing the bagpipes."</i>

7
00:00:17,533 --> 00:00:19,600
Okay, this is ridiculous.

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,700
I can't believe those
two are still bagpiping.

9
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:24,134
I know. It's been six hours.

10
00:00:24,134 --> 00:00:26,800
Must be that tantric bagpiping
that Sting is into.

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,633
She keeps yelling out for him
to play the bagpipes harder,

12
00:00:29,633 --> 00:00:31,934
but it sounds like he's
bagpiping her pretty hard.

13
00:00:31,934 --> 00:00:33,533
There's a glass of water
in my bedroom

14
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,468
<i>that's vibrating
like Jurassic Park.</i>

15
00:00:36,667 --> 00:00:38,934
You have neighbors!

16
00:00:38,934 --> 00:00:41,134
Shut the bagpipes up!

17

<i>I decided to go to the bar
to get some peace and quiet.</i>

19
00:00:56,968 --> 00:00:58,834
<i>That didn't work out so well.</i>

20
00:00:58,834 --> 00:00:59,868
Ted, I hate to have

21
00:00:59,868 --> 00:01:02,701
to be the one
to tell you this.

22
00:01:02,701 --> 00:01:04,567
Marshall and Lily
are getting a divorce.

23
00:01:04,567 --> 00:01:07,167
No, they're not.
Just listen

24
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:09,701
to what I witnessed yesterday.

25
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:12,267
Baby, you mind washing that?

26
00:01:12,267 --> 00:01:15,400
No problem.

27
00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:17,484
I should go.

28
00:01:18,684 --> 00:01:22,850
She makes him wash his dishes
right away, Ted.

29
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:25,618
I give 'em two,
maybe, three weeks tops.

30
00:01:25,618 --> 00:01:28,050
Barney, that's not a big deal.
And it's certainly

31
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:30,384
not a big enough deal for you
to be holding my hands.

32
00:01:31,551 --> 00:01:33,084
They're in big trouble, Ted.

33
00:01:33,084 --> 00:01:34,417
I see what's going on.

34
00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:37,317
You, my friend, are suffering
from a little known condition--

35
00:01:37,317 --> 00:01:39,551
"little known" because I just
made it up--

36
00:01:39,551 --> 00:01:42,384
called New Relationship
Smugness.

37
00:01:42,384 --> 00:01:45,117
You and Robin are
in the honeymoon phase.

38
00:01:45,117 --> 00:01:46,651
Everything's perfect.

39
00:01:46,651 --> 00:01:48,484
Every song on the radio's
about you.

40
00:01:48,484 --> 00:01:49,984
Every other couple sucks.

41
00:01:49,984 --> 00:01:52,551
Enjoy it.
N.R.S. doesn't last forever.

42
00:01:52,551 --> 00:01:55,184
It does when
you're this awesome.

43
00:01:55,184 --> 00:01:56,917
Hey, check it out.
Robin and I have been

44
00:01:56,917 --> 00:01:59,117
keeping a tally of how many beds
we've done it in.

45
00:01:59,117 --> 00:02:01,251
We're up to 83-and-a-half.

46
00:02:01,251 --> 00:02:02,184
A half?

47
00:02:02,184 --> 00:02:03,584
19 century ottoman

48
00:02:03,584 --> 00:02:04,883
in an antique shop.

49
00:02:06,717 --> 00:02:08,784
Hey.
Hey, what's up?

50
00:02:08,784 --> 00:02:11,117
Hey, tiger.

51
00:02:11,117 --> 00:02:13,151
How ya holding up?
Do you need a hug?

52
00:02:13,151 --> 00:02:14,817
You want to talk
about yesterday?

53
00:02:14,817 --> 00:02:16,117
Safe space.

54
00:02:16,117 --> 00:02:18,650
Barney thinks Lily
asking you to wash your dishes

55
00:02:18,650 --> 00:02:21,617
right away is a sign your
marriage is crumbling. What?

56
00:02:21,617 --> 00:02:22,717
Why?

57
00:02:22,717 --> 00:02:24,418
Lily likes a clean sink,
so I do the dishes

58
00:02:24,418 --> 00:02:25,583
right away;
what's the big deal?

59
00:02:25,583 --> 00:02:29,184
I'll tell you
what the big deal is.

60
00:02:29,184 --> 00:02:32,817
You know how I was always
the best at being single?

61
00:02:32,817 --> 00:02:34,151
No.
No.

62
00:02:34,151 --> 00:02:37,583
Well, now I am the best
at relationships.

63
00:02:37,583 --> 00:02:39,351
Even better than you and Lily.

64
00:02:39,351 --> 00:02:41,351
Aw, look at you.

65
00:02:41,351 --> 00:02:43,384
Had a girlfriend for five
minutes, you think you can

66
00:02:43,384 --> 00:02:46,084
play with the big boys--
adorable. Son...

67
00:02:46,084 --> 00:02:48,351
I've been in a relationship
since you had a ponytail

68
00:02:48,351 --> 00:02:50,683
and were playing Dave Matthews
on your mama's Casio.

69
00:02:50,683 --> 00:02:51,884
I'm a good boyfriend

70
00:02:51,884 --> 00:02:54,551
in my sleep.
I can rock a killer foot rub

71
00:02:54,551 --> 00:02:57,618
with one hand and brew a
kick-ass pot of chamomile

72
00:02:57,618 --> 00:02:59,351
in the other that
would make you weep.

73
00:03:00,051 --> 00:03:01,151
Hell,

74
00:03:01,151 --> 00:03:02,951
I've forgotten more
about microwaving

75
00:03:02,951 --> 00:03:04,218
fat-free popcorn
and watching

76
00:03:04,218 --> 00:03:05,951
Sandra Bullock movies
than you'll ever know,

77
00:03:05,951 --> 00:03:09,151
but thanks for
your concern, rook.

78
00:03:09,151 --> 00:03:11,617
Mashall, let me ask you
one question.

79
00:03:11,617 --> 00:03:12,851
Sure.

80
00:03:12,851 --> 00:03:15,817
Do you mind if there is
sink full of dirty dishes?

81
00:03:15,817 --> 00:03:17,717
Not really.

82
00:03:18,717 --> 00:03:20,051
Then it's Lily's problem,
not yours.

83
00:03:20,051 --> 00:03:21,784
Yeah, but if I said
that to her,

84
00:03:21,784 --> 00:03:23,750
it would only lead to a fight, so...
Oh.

85
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:24,917
You fight.

86
00:03:24,917 --> 00:03:26,251
See, Robin and I never fight.

87
00:03:26,251 --> 00:03:28,483
Of course you do.
No.

88
00:03:28,483 --> 00:03:31,084
And here's the secret:
every time it looks like

89
00:03:31,084 --> 00:03:32,750
we're about to get
into a fight...

90
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:34,584
Um, why is there

91
00:03:34,584 --> 00:03:38,951
a bag of panties labeled
"April 2008" in your closet?

92
00:03:51,417 --> 00:03:53,550
So any time you think
you might have a fight

93
00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:54,750
you just get up and leave?

94
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:56,617
100% effective.

95
00:03:56,617 --> 00:03:58,151
Can't fight
if you're not there.

96
00:03:58,151 --> 00:03:59,817
That's what Gandhi taught us.

97
00:03:59,817 --> 00:04:01,105
Boy, that's not true.

98
00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:04,150
I can't believe that
Robin puts up with that.

99
00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:04,984
Oh, don't worry.

100
00:04:04,984 --> 00:04:07,184
She's got a great way
to avoid fights, too.

101
00:04:07,184 --> 00:04:10,317
Um, are ties
machine washable?

102
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:14,050
No, they most certainly
are not. Why?

103
00:04:14,950 --> 00:04:17,217
What is in your hand?

104
00:04:17,217 --> 00:04:19,384
Oh, my God,
what's in your hand?!

105
00:04:25,451 --> 00:04:27,484
Okay, so you walk away.

106
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:28,584
Robin gets naked.

107
00:04:28,584 --> 00:04:30,184
Those are the two
stupidest ways

108
00:04:30,184 --> 00:04:31,551
to handle conflict
I've ever heard.

109
00:04:31,551 --> 00:04:33,484
Actually, the naked
thing ain't bad.

110
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:38,517
That felt kind of weird.
Okay, call me crazy.

111
00:04:38,517 --> 00:04:40,917
But when a problem comes up,
Lily and I

112
00:04:40,917 --> 00:04:42,384
actually talk about it.

113
00:04:42,384 --> 00:04:44,784
There are so many great things
to do with the human mouth.

114
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,951
Why waste it on talking?

115
00:04:46,951 --> 00:04:48,917
But if you insist,
here's what I would say

116
00:04:48,917 --> 00:04:51,784
about the dishes
if I were Lily's husband.

117
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:54,418
Barney, you're home!

118
00:04:59,284 --> 00:05:01,450
Dude... Get to the point!

119
00:05:01,450 --> 00:05:02,550
All right.

120
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:04,684
Thanks, doll.

121
00:05:07,984 --> 00:05:10,151
Sweetie, are you
going to wash that?

122
00:05:10,151 --> 00:05:12,384
I'm glad you bring that up. No.

123
00:05:12,384 --> 00:05:13,917
And here's why.

124
00:05:17,318 --> 00:05:19,951
Lily, I know you don't
like a dirty sink.

125
00:05:19,951 --> 00:05:22,017
But does that make it my job
to keep it clean?

126
00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:23,017
I mean, if one day

127
00:05:23,017 --> 00:05:25,017
I look up
at the living room ceiling

128
00:05:25,017 --> 00:05:26,650
and think,
"Hey, I'd like a replica

129
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:27,984
of the Sistine Chapel up there."

130
00:05:27,984 --> 00:05:29,517
would it be your job
to paint it?

131
00:05:29,517 --> 00:05:31,381
Well, no.
Of course not.

132
00:05:32,381 --> 00:05:34,251
Exactly! So, baby,
by the same logic,

133
00:05:34,251 --> 00:05:36,784
if you don't like looking
at a sink full of dishes,

134
00:05:36,785 --> 00:05:38,985
Shouldn't it be your job to clean them?

135
00:05:39,684 --> 00:05:41,484
Wow. Thanks for
explaining that.

136
00:05:41,484 --> 00:05:43,384
I get so confused.

137
00:05:43,384 --> 00:05:45,251
That's because
you're a woman.

138
00:05:47,651 --> 00:05:49,384
I don't even know
why we're laughing!

139
00:05:49,384 --> 00:05:51,151
Of course you don't.

140
00:05:54,517 --> 00:05:56,217
You're kidding me with this.

141
00:05:56,217 --> 00:05:57,217
Hang on, Ted.

142
00:05:57,217 --> 00:05:58,750
Let's hear the man out.

143
00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:00,650
Once I have her attention,

144
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:03,318
it's time
to bring out the big guns.

145
00:06:03,318 --> 00:06:05,917
Look, I love you.

146
00:06:05,917 --> 00:06:09,418
But, baby, with the little
energy I have left after work,

147
00:06:09,418 --> 00:06:11,750
I want to shower you with love,

148
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:14,084
not wash some silly dishes.

149
00:06:14,084 --> 00:06:17,051
You're right.
I'll do the dishes.

150
00:06:17,051 --> 00:06:19,884
Right after I do this.

151
00:06:23,151 --> 00:06:25,684
Oh, yeah.

152
00:06:25,684 --> 00:06:26,850
Now turn around.

153
00:06:30,450 --> 00:06:32,318
Firm.

154
00:06:32,318 --> 00:06:33,517
Oh, yeah.

155
00:06:33,517 --> 00:06:35,184
Are you going to
hit him or should I?

156
00:06:35,184 --> 00:06:36,418
He's right.

157
00:06:36,418 --> 00:06:39,483
No, he's not.
Marshall, look at me.

158
00:06:39,483 --> 00:06:41,850
Do not get drawn into
Barney Stinson's circus tent

159
00:06:41,850 --> 00:06:43,550
of funhouse mirrors
and flawed logic.

160
00:06:43,950 --> 00:06:46,451
This is exactly how you got
the earring back in '03.

161
00:06:46,451 --> 00:06:47,651
Hey, that earring looked cool.

162
00:06:47,651 --> 00:06:49,117
It did look
cool, didn't it?

163
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:52,084
Marshall, stay with me!
Barney is wrong.

164
00:06:53,050 --> 00:06:54,484
No, he isn't.

165
00:06:55,417 --> 00:06:57,684
I hate doing my
dishes right away.

166
00:06:57,684 --> 00:06:58,883
You just said
you don't mind!

167
00:06:58,883 --> 00:07:00,084
I hate it, Ted!

168
00:07:00,084 --> 00:07:01,117
I hate it

169
00:07:01,117 --> 00:07:02,818
with a boundless,
burning fury!

170
00:07:02,818 --> 00:07:05,684
I hate it, I hate
it, I hate it!

171
00:07:05,684 --> 00:07:06,917
You're welcome.

172
00:07:06,917 --> 00:07:07,883
Hey, guys.

173
00:07:07,883 --> 00:07:09,017
Hey.
Oh, good.

174
00:07:09,017 --> 00:07:10,084
There you are.

175
00:07:10,084 --> 00:07:11,750
You'll tell me the truth.

176
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:14,318
Barney says
that you two never fight.

177
00:07:14,318 --> 00:07:16,284
Huh. I guess
that's true.

178
00:07:16,284 --> 00:07:17,284
Told ya.

179
00:07:17,284 --> 00:07:19,984
No way.
I love you both,

180
00:07:19,984 --> 00:07:22,117
but you are the two most
emotionally ill-equipped

181
00:07:22,117 --> 00:07:24,017
individuals in the history
of relationships.

182
00:07:24,017 --> 00:07:26,218
You two must have had
at least one fight.

183
00:07:26,218 --> 00:07:28,117
You know what?
We did.

184
00:07:28,117 --> 00:07:29,218
Aha!
ROBIN: Mm-hmm.

185
00:07:29,218 --> 00:07:30,517
There was
one small dispute

186
00:07:30,517 --> 00:07:32,884
about which one of
us was more awesome.

187
00:07:32,885 --> 00:07:34,875
We just called it a tie and had sex.

188
00:07:34,884 --> 00:07:38,517
Speaking of which, I am so glad
we're going skiing this weekend.

189
00:07:38,517 --> 00:07:39,151
I need a break.

190
00:07:40,451 --> 00:07:41,717
The upstairs neighbors
are driving me crazy.

191
00:07:41,717 --> 00:07:43,017
Yeah, it's bad.

192
00:07:43,017 --> 00:07:44,650
I'm gonna say
something to them.

193
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:45,551
Thank you.
Great.

194
00:07:45,551 --> 00:07:46,650
Okay, we all have

195
00:07:46,650 --> 00:07:48,184
our assignments
for the weekend.

196
00:07:48,184 --> 00:07:49,384
Ted, you're going to stand up
to your neighbors.

197
00:07:49,384 --> 00:07:50,917
Marshall, you're going
to stand up to Lily.

198
00:07:50,917 --> 00:07:53,184
And Robin, I'm gonna need yo
in sort of a crouched position

199
00:07:53,184 --> 00:07:55,284
on the bear-skin rug
at our ski chalet. Ready?

200
00:07:55,284 --> 00:07:56,351
Break!

201
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:57,650
Bye, guys.Bye.

202
00:07:57,650 --> 00:07:59,317
Have fun.

203
00:08:00,484 --> 00:08:03,284
Barney.

204
00:08:03,284 --> 00:08:05,683
With his crazy, well-
thought-out theories

205
00:08:05,683 --> 00:08:06,850
that probably would work.

206
00:08:07,550 --> 00:08:10,750
Marshall, I'm just gonna
say this one more time.

207
00:08:10,750 --> 00:08:12,550
It's a bad idea.

208
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:13,350
I think it could work.

209
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:15,617
Okay, two more times.
It's a bad idea.

210
00:08:15,617 --> 00:08:17,317
Listen, Barney lays out
some logical points

211
00:08:17,317 --> 00:08:18,784
Lily is a
reasonable woman.

212
00:08:18,784 --> 00:08:20,751
I think that if I
explain it to her,

213
00:08:20,751 --> 00:08:22,918
she'll get it and
I'll get my way.

214
00:08:22,918 --> 00:08:24,617
Uh, no.
She'll get mad,

215
00:08:24,617 --> 00:08:26,317
and you'll get
in a huge fight.

216
00:08:26,317 --> 00:08:27,884
Slap bet?
Slap bet.

217
00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:34,484
Baby, could you wash your dishes?

218
00:08:34,484 --> 00:08:37,488
Lily, I'm glad
that you bring that up.

219
00:08:42,233 --> 00:08:43,233
Can I stay here tonight?

220
00:08:45,234 --> 00:08:46,234
Hop it on the sofa, buddy.

221
00:08:55,917 --> 00:08:57,317
The ski bunnies
are back!

222
00:08:57,317 --> 00:08:59,017
(both laughing)
Hey, guys.

223
00:08:59,017 --> 00:09:00,451
(smooching loudly)
How was your trip?

224
00:09:00,451 --> 00:09:02,250
So perfect.

225
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:04,751
We just spent the whole
weekend cuddling by the fire.

226
00:09:04,751 --> 00:09:05,917
No black diamonds,

227
00:09:05,917 --> 00:09:07,818
but a lot of red hearts.
Aw...

228
00:09:09,384 --> 00:09:10,718
Okay, I'm gonna
go unpack.

229
00:09:10,718 --> 00:09:12,584
Hey, you.
Yeah?

230
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:21,451
Oh, man.

231
00:09:21,451 --> 00:09:23,284
What the hell has
gotten into you two?

232
00:09:23,284 --> 00:09:25,351
When did you become
so nauseating?

233
00:09:25,351 --> 00:09:28,584
Isn't it great
to finally see her fulfilled

234
00:09:28,584 --> 00:09:31,584
emotionally, spiritually
and sexually?

235
00:09:31,584 --> 00:09:34,351
Um, I dated her
for a year.

236
00:09:34,351 --> 00:09:36,017
Yeah.

237
00:09:36,017 --> 00:09:38,117
Anyway,
how was your weekend?

238
00:09:38,117 --> 00:09:40,251
Terrible, and it's all
your fault, okay?

239
00:09:40,251 --> 00:09:42,284
I took your stupid advice!

240
00:09:43,951 --> 00:09:46,350
Baby, could you
wash your dishes?

241
00:09:46,350 --> 00:09:49,650
Lily, I'm glad
that you bring that up.

242
00:09:50,318 --> 00:09:53,984
No, and here is why...

243
00:10:01,617 --> 00:10:02,717
Okay.

244
00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:07,717
So, it's like this, okay?

245
00:10:07,717 --> 00:10:10,684
Yeah, sure.
You want me

246
00:10:10,684 --> 00:10:12,850
to go ahead
and wash my dish.

247
00:10:12,850 --> 00:10:14,150
But maybe...

248
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:16,317
I want you...

249
00:10:16,317 --> 00:10:19,651
to paint
the ceiling, right?

250
00:10:19,651 --> 00:10:20,984
Like, maybe I should say,

251
00:10:20,984 --> 00:10:23,850
"Okay, yeah.
I'll wash my dish

252
00:10:23,850 --> 00:10:25,117
"if you get up there

253
00:10:25,117 --> 00:10:27,984
and just--you paint
naked babies on the ceiling."

254
00:10:27,984 --> 00:10:30,783
You know?
It just like...

255
00:10:32,734 --> 00:10:35,134
I don't know what happened.

256
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,534
I'm a lawyer.

257
00:10:36,534 --> 00:10:37,833
I argue for a living,

258
00:10:37,833 --> 00:10:41,900
but when it comes to Lily,
I just get all... flustered.

259
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,700
How could you not?

260
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:45,838
I mean, the girl's
all eyes and boobs.

261
00:10:46,638 --> 00:10:49,696
What happened to the "I'm tired
after my draining day,

262
00:10:49,697 --> 00:10:50,997
I want to use my left over energy

263
00:10:50,997 --> 00:10:51,934
showering you
with love" argument?

264
00:10:51,934 --> 00:10:54,967
I should have written that down.

265
00:10:56,567 --> 00:10:57,473
Look, Lily, I...

266
00:10:59,008 --> 00:11:00,434
I  make more money than you.

267
00:11:00,434 --> 00:11:01,791
Excuse me?!

268
00:11:03,567 --> 00:11:06,200
Dance for me.

269
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,168
Oh, Marshall.

270
00:11:07,168 --> 00:11:08,333
Dude.

271
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:10,867
It all made so much sense
when you said it,

272
00:11:10,867 --> 00:11:12,024
but when I said it,
it turned into a fight.

273
00:11:12,034 --> 00:11:13,534
And once Lily and I
start fighting,

274
00:11:13,534 --> 00:11:17,367
the fight starts to mutate
and multiply.

275
00:11:18,067 --> 00:11:20,233
<i>MARSHALL: Sure, it started
with the dishes, but then...</i>

276
00:11:20,233 --> 00:11:23,801
So you're saying that you
shouldn't have to wash dishes

277
00:11:23,801 --> 00:11:25,701
because you work
harder than me?

278
00:11:25,701 --> 00:11:27,701
Okay, that's not
what I'm saying--

279
00:11:27,701 --> 00:11:28,967
but it's true.

280
00:11:28,967 --> 00:11:30,801
<i>And then all of sudden,
we're also fighting</i>

281
00:11:30,801 --> 00:11:31,434
<i>about who works harder.</i>

282
00:11:31,435 --> 00:11:33,435
I teach kindergarten.

283
00:11:33,435 --> 00:11:36,367
I am molding the future
leaders of tomorrow.

284
00:11:36,368 --> 00:11:38,367
You eat cookies and glue stuff.

285
00:11:38,367 --> 00:11:39,901
<i>And soon more fights spinn off.</i>

286
00:11:39,901 --> 00:11:41,400
I can't believe you'd rather
be killed...

287
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,834
<i>Until there are
more fights going on</i>

288
00:11:42,834 --> 00:11:44,434
<i>than you can even
keep track of.</i>

289
00:11:44,434 --> 00:11:46,867
If you need to go in the middle
of the night,

290
00:11:46,867 --> 00:11:49,200
either turn the bathroom
light on or sit down.

291
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400
My mother
does not hate you.

292
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,467
She is neutral
about you.

293
00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:57,050
<i>I am not scared of
your Shining impression.</i>

294
00:11:57,050 --> 00:12:00,167
I just don't need to hear
it, especially at night.

295
00:12:00,167 --> 00:12:01,868
(gravelly voice):
Danny's not here,

296
00:12:01,868 --> 00:12:03,333
Mrs. Torrance.

297
00:12:03,333 --> 00:12:06,634
Please don't do that.

298
00:12:06,634 --> 00:12:08,434
Man, Lily fights dirty.

299
00:12:08,734 --> 00:12:12,701
She's small
but vicious like a badger

300
00:12:12,701 --> 00:12:14,667
that your brother's caught
and starved for five days

301
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:17,500
and then put
in your sleeping bag.

302
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,134
I should just go home
and apologize.

303
00:12:19,134 --> 00:12:22,001
No. What you need
is a surge.

304
00:12:22,001 --> 00:12:23,367
Fight harder.

305
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,901
Picture it, Marshall,

306
00:12:25,901 --> 00:12:28,567
never having to wash another dish 
as long as you live,

307
00:12:28,567 --> 00:12:30,734
yet all the dishes
are always clean.

308
00:12:30,734 --> 00:12:33,934
Why, this would take all the anxiety
 out of snacking.

309
00:12:33,934 --> 00:12:36,434
No more holding
open your shirt

310
00:12:36,434 --> 00:12:39,634
to form a makeshift bowl
for your salty treats.

311
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:41,365
That world is
yours, Marshall.

312
00:12:41,366 --> 00:12:42,366
Reach out, take it.

313
00:12:43,734 --> 00:12:47,434
dip it in some
ranch dressing, enjoy.

314
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:51,501
He's right.

315
00:12:51,501 --> 00:12:52,767
No!

316
00:12:52,767 --> 00:12:53,767
Barney's stupid ideas

317
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:55,201
are what got you
into this quagmire.

318
00:12:55,201 --> 00:12:57,034
There's no exit strategy.
Just wash your stupid dishes.

319
00:12:57,034 --> 00:12:59,167
No! Those dishes are my manhood!

320
00:12:59,167 --> 00:13:02,067
And if I want to leave my
manhood dirty in the sink,

321
00:13:02,067 --> 00:13:03,367
caked with ketchup and pasta...

322
00:13:03,367 --> 00:13:04,301
What are you eating?

323
00:13:04,301 --> 00:13:06,467
...then damn it,
that's my right!

324
00:13:06,467 --> 00:13:09,668
I'll wash my manhood
when I'm good and ready!

325
00:13:09,668 --> 00:13:11,301
Where was he not sitting?

326
00:13:12,950 --> 00:13:15,284
Hey, Barnstormer.

327
00:13:15,284 --> 00:13:17,750
He Ro-Ro.
Ooh!

328
00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:19,817
Okay, now you have
adorable nicknames?

329
00:13:19,817 --> 00:13:21,984
Seriously, what's going on
with your two?

330
00:13:21,984 --> 00:13:23,618
Nothing. We're just happy.

331
00:13:23,618 --> 00:13:25,184
It's like Gandhi said,

332
00:13:25,184 --> 00:13:27,017
"A smile don't cost nothing, sugar."
Mm-hmm.

333
00:13:27,017 --> 00:13:29,584
I'm not sure you know
who Gandhi is.

334
00:13:29,584 --> 00:13:31,518
So, um, Ted, did you
talk to our neighbors?

335
00:13:31,518 --> 00:13:33,284
Yes, yeah, I did.

336
00:13:33,284 --> 00:13:36,151
I went up there ready
to set them straight.

337
00:13:46,884 --> 00:13:47,917
They're old?

338
00:13:47,917 --> 00:13:49,317
Really old.

339
00:13:49,317 --> 00:13:51,284
So what did you do?

340
00:13:51,284 --> 00:13:53,584
Well, I didn't have the heart
to tell them to stop,

341
00:13:53,584 --> 00:13:54,884
because, well, good for them.

342
00:13:54,884 --> 00:13:56,717
So I just weomed them
to the building,

343
00:13:56,717 --> 00:13:58,017
had a hard candy,

344
00:13:58,017 --> 00:14:01,050
nodded politely at some racist
comments and then left.

345
00:14:02,850 --> 00:14:04,484
<i>Over the next couple of days</i>

346
00:14:04,484 --> 00:14:07,584
<i>Barney and Robin continued
to be happier than ever.</i>

347
00:14:07,584 --> 00:14:09,851
<i>And Marshall and Lily
continued to fight.</i>

348
00:14:09,851 --> 00:14:12,450
I don't care if
the dishes aren't done.

349
00:14:12,450 --> 00:14:14,217
Okay, if you care, you do it.

350
00:14:14,217 --> 00:14:17,617
Great. Then I don't care
if you have an orgasm.

351
00:14:17,617 --> 00:14:19,450
If you care, you do it.

352
00:14:19,450 --> 00:14:22,651
I went 18 years without
the touch of a woman.

353
00:14:22,651 --> 00:14:23,984
I can do it again.

354
00:14:23,984 --> 00:14:25,717
You might have to.

355
00:14:25,717 --> 00:14:28,250
<i>And I continued to hear
more bagpiping</i>

356
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:31,797
<i>than a St. Patty's Day parade.</i>

357
00:14:35,317 --> 00:14:36,518
I don't know what to do.

358
00:14:36,518 --> 00:14:38,550
Lily and I have never
had a fight this long.

359
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:39,984
It's like I don't
even exist.

360
00:14:39,984 --> 00:14:43,017
On Sunday morning,
she made pancake, Ted.

361
00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:45,583
Pancake and bacon strip.

362
00:14:45,583 --> 00:14:47,251
It's your own fault.

363
00:14:47,251 --> 00:14:50,217
You took relationship
advice from Barney.

364
00:14:50,217 --> 00:14:53,251
Well, maybe Barney
has it all figured out.

365
00:14:53,251 --> 00:14:56,217
He and Ro-Ro are
the best couple now.

366
00:14:56,217 --> 00:14:58,284
Lily and I have
been dethroned.

367
00:14:58,284 --> 00:14:59,717
You know what,
I'm not buying it.

368
00:14:59,717 --> 00:15:01,451
All that cutesy,
lovey-dovey crap,

369
00:15:01,451 --> 00:15:02,683
that's not them.

370
00:15:02,683 --> 00:15:05,717
And I know for a fact 
that Robin hates nicknames.

371
00:15:06,984 --> 00:15:08,384
Thanks, Robbsy-wobbsy.

372
00:15:08,384 --> 00:15:11,217
Yeah, I don't do nicknames.

373
00:15:11,217 --> 00:15:13,583
Finished with the
sports page, Sherbs?

374
00:15:13,583 --> 00:15:15,817
Seriously, stop.

375
00:15:16,817 --> 00:15:18,984
Hey, Robin, it's T-Mose.

376
00:15:18,984 --> 00:15:20,717
Yeah, I don't like them
on you either.

377
00:15:22,183 --> 00:15:24,384
Well, she obviously
likes them now.

378
00:15:24,384 --> 00:15:26,083
And, come on

379
00:15:26,083 --> 00:15:28,484
somebody had to put
an end to T-Mose.

380
00:15:28,484 --> 00:15:31,317
No, T-Mose was awesome.

381
00:15:31,317 --> 00:15:33,717
I'm thinking
of bringing it back.

382
00:15:35,183 --> 00:15:38,117
Bagpiping sounds
a little different today.

383
00:15:38,117 --> 00:15:39,951
It's all echo-y.

384
00:15:39,951 --> 00:15:41,384
Yeah. They're
in the bathroom.

385
00:15:41,384 --> 00:15:44,384
I think they're bagpiping
on the shower chair.

386
00:15:44,384 --> 00:15:46,418
<i>And just like that, I realized</i>

387
00:15:46,418 --> 00:15:49,151
<i>exactly how to get the real
scoop on Barney and Robin.</i>

388
00:15:49,151 --> 00:15:51,251
Oh, hey, Ted.
How are Marshall and Lily?

389
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:53,351
I worry about those two,
I really do.

390
00:15:53,351 --> 00:15:54,984
You and your
big, giant heart.

391
00:15:54,984 --> 00:15:57,817
Okay, enough.
The jig is up.

392
00:15:58,817 --> 00:16:00,917
Ted, whatever do you mean?

393
00:16:01,417 --> 00:16:02,417
Who's this guy?

394
00:16:02,417 --> 00:16:03,717
We'll get to that.

395
00:16:03,717 --> 00:16:05,617
You see, I knew
something was wrong.

396
00:16:05,617 --> 00:16:09,711
You two were too happy,
too shiny, too nickname-y.

397
00:16:09,746 --> 00:16:10,742
Didn't add up.

398
00:16:10,742 --> 00:16:12,282
You two never fight?

399
00:16:12,282 --> 00:16:13,481
Horse apples.

400
00:16:14,112 --> 00:16:18,323
You fight all... the... time.

401
00:16:19,323 --> 00:16:20,500
How would you know that?

402
00:16:21,051 --> 00:16:22,501
Phil told me.

403
00:16:22,784 --> 00:16:23,947
Who the hell is Phil?

404
00:16:24,182 --> 00:16:25,812
Your downstairs neighbor.

405
00:16:25,847 --> 00:16:29,546
Hi. I'm Phil. 12-B.

406
00:16:29,547 --> 00:16:32,547
And he's heard everything.

407
00:16:37,217 --> 00:16:39,184
So Phil tells me that
Ro-Ro and the Barnstormer

408
00:16:39,184 --> 00:16:41,483
have been
fighting... a lot.

409
00:16:41,483 --> 00:16:42,951
Care to explain?

410
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:50,517
Okay. Everything
was going great.

411
00:16:50,517 --> 00:16:53,251
Our no-fighting techniques
were working perfectly

412
00:16:53,251 --> 00:16:56,051
until we went on that ski trip
last weekend.

413
00:16:56,051 --> 00:16:59,750
So I showed Marshall 
that Lily's argument was bananas

414
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:02,284
and now he'll never have
to wash another dish.

415
00:17:02,284 --> 00:17:03,717
High two.

416
00:17:03,717 --> 00:17:05,084
That's terrible advice.

417
00:17:05,084 --> 00:17:07,418
You agree with Lily?

418
00:17:07,418 --> 00:17:08,617
You...

419
00:17:11,850 --> 00:17:14,951
<i>BARNEY:
Oh, no. We're about
to get in a fight,</i>

420
00:17:14,951 --> 00:17:16,151
<i>and I can't run away.</i>

421
00:17:16,151 --> 00:17:18,318
<i>ROBIN:
I can't take my clothes off.</i>

422
00:17:18,318 --> 00:17:20,351
<i>It's freezing up here.
I get hypothermia.</i>

423
00:17:20,351 --> 00:17:23,517
<i>Maybe I can jump it?
Maybe just my pants?</i>

424
00:17:25,984 --> 00:17:30,151
This no-fighting thing is over, huh?
I think so.

425
00:17:32,151 --> 00:17:34,384
How could you possibly agree with Lily?!
I can't believe that you made Lily get in a fight about this!

426
00:17:34,384 --> 00:17:35,750
She's shorter than him!

427
00:17:36,050 --> 00:17:37,783
And it didn't end there.

428
00:17:37,783 --> 00:17:38,850
We've been fighting
ever since.

429
00:17:38,850 --> 00:17:41,217
All those fights we
kept not having--

430
00:17:41,217 --> 00:17:42,618
they all came back around.

431
00:17:42,619 --> 00:17:43,618
The bag of panties...

432
00:17:43,618 --> 00:17:45,084
The tie Robin murdered.

433
00:17:45,184 --> 00:17:46,951
The tiny camera I found in the headboard.

434
00:17:46,951 --> 00:17:50,284
That's how a
quarterback stays sharp.

435
00:17:50,284 --> 00:17:51,984
Monday morning, he sits
on a bag of ice

436
00:17:51,984 --> 00:17:53,984
and studies the game tape.
Barney for the millionth time...

437
00:17:53,984 --> 00:17:56,451
You don't get to be as good as I am...
using football analogies...

438
00:17:56,451 --> 00:17:57,783
without reviewing the fundamentals

439
00:17:57,783 --> 00:17:58,384
and studying technique!
does not make it any less creepy.

440
00:17:58,384 --> 00:18:02,217
I knew it! I knew you guys were acting 
too cute and perfect!

441
00:18:02,217 --> 00:18:05,517
Look, we were just sick
of everyone pointing out

442
00:18:05,517 --> 00:18:07,284
how crappy at
relationships we both are.

443
00:18:07,284 --> 00:18:10,417
Yeah, it was sort of nice
to be the perfect couple for a minute.

444
00:18:10,417 --> 00:18:11,984
TED:
I knew you were lying.

445
00:18:11,984 --> 00:18:15,251
You got to wake up pretty early
to slip one by the T-Mose.

446
00:18:15,251 --> 00:18:16,017
Stop it.

447
00:18:18,017 --> 00:18:20,651
LILY (singsong voice):
Marshall, dinner's ready.

448
00:18:20,651 --> 00:18:23,351
Did you-- did you make
any for me?

449
00:18:23,351 --> 00:18:26,017
No, but it's
your favorite.

450
00:18:33,017 --> 00:18:34,917
(sighing):
Hey.

451
00:18:35,917 --> 00:18:37,917
We need your advice.

452
00:18:37,917 --> 00:18:39,917
<i>NARRATOR:
So Barney and Robin told Lily and Marshall</i>

453
00:18:39,917 --> 00:18:41,150
<i>all about their fighting.</i>

454
00:18:41,150 --> 00:18:42,484
<i>And let's just say,
that in comparison,</i>

455
00:18:42,484 --> 00:18:44,518
<i>their little dishes spat
seemed pretty tame.</i>

456
00:18:55,284 --> 00:18:56,618
<i>And by the end,</i>

457
00:18:56,618 --> 00:18:58,984
<i>Lily and Marshall
both had the same reaction.</i>

458
00:18:58,984 --> 00:19:02,117
I'll wash my dishes right away
from now until the day I die.

459
00:19:02,117 --> 00:19:03,484
I don't care when
you wash the dishes.

460
00:19:03,484 --> 00:19:06,850
But if it's something
cheese-based like a nice ziti,

461
00:19:06,850 --> 00:19:08,884
at least soak it, okay?
Of course, baby.

462
00:19:08,884 --> 00:19:10,050
Oh, I love you.

463
00:19:10,050 --> 00:19:12,683
I love you, too.
ROBIN: See?

464
00:19:12,683 --> 00:19:14,217
Right there,
how did you just do that?

465
00:19:14,217 --> 00:19:15,251
How'd you just
fix everything?

466
00:19:15,251 --> 00:19:16,551
I don't know.

467
00:19:16,551 --> 00:19:19,217
I guess sometimes you just
have to set your ego aside.

468
00:19:19,217 --> 00:19:22,351
Yeah. An-And remember
at the love that you have

469
00:19:22,351 --> 00:19:25,917
for that other person is way 
more important than winning.

470
00:19:30,584 --> 00:19:32,650
More important
than winning

471
00:19:32,650 --> 00:19:34,084
Stop, stop it.

472
00:19:34,084 --> 00:19:36,050
Seriously,
what's the secret?

473
00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:39,650
Okay, look, the honeymoon period
may be over,

474
00:19:39,650 --> 00:19:42,984
but now you can get
into the real stuff.

475
00:19:42,984 --> 00:19:44,217
And honestly,

476
00:19:44,217 --> 00:19:46,317
that's the best part.

477
00:19:46,817 --> 00:19:47,917
Good night.

478
00:19:47,917 --> 00:19:50,084
So what do
we do now?

479
00:19:50,084 --> 00:19:52,018
I guess we got to
start talking more

480
00:19:52,018 --> 00:19:53,250
and get into
the real stuff.

481
00:19:53,250 --> 00:19:54,684
Yeah.

482
00:19:54,684 --> 00:19:56,183
Or there's a bench
in the elevator.

483
00:19:56,183 --> 00:19:57,550
Ooh, that's better.
Mm-hmm.

484
00:19:57,550 --> 00:19:59,851
Hey, so what if we're not 
the best couple in the world?

485
00:19:59,851 --> 00:20:02,317
Totally. It's not a competition.
No.

486
00:20:02,317 --> 00:20:03,350
We win!

487
00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:04,984
Best couple in the world!

488
00:20:04,984 --> 00:20:08,379
Whoo, yeah!

489
00:17:54,884 --> 00:17:58,279
Whoo, yeah!

490
00:20:09,617 --> 00:20:10,884
Guess what?

491
00:20:10,884 --> 00:20:11,984
These glasses

492
00:20:11,984 --> 00:20:13,651
are plastic.

493
00:20:13,651 --> 00:20:15,784
So we can just
throw them away.

494
00:20:15,784 --> 00:20:18,450
That means no dirty
dishes in the sink.

495
00:20:18,450 --> 00:20:20,517
Mm, you're dirty.

496
00:20:20,517 --> 00:20:22,784
Maybe I should leave
you in the sink.

497
00:20:25,184 --> 00:20:27,884
<i>NARRATOR:
And once that first argument
got worked out,</i>

498
00:20:27,884 --> 00:20:29,251
<i>all those other arguments,</i>

499
00:20:29,251 --> 00:20:32,850
<i>well, they got better, too.</i>

500
