Ted Mosby : No, nothing else.

Ted Mosby : Not yet anyway.
Robin Scherbatsky , Lily Aldrin , Marshall Eriksen , Barney Stinson : [At the restaurant, singing] Bang, bang, bangity bang, I said a bang-bang-bangity...

Ted Mosby : See, now I can start anew, and hopefully end up as happy as you and... sorry, what his name?
Victoria : Whose name?
Ted Mosby : Your fiance-to-be?
Victoria : Oh. His name is Klaus.
Ted Mosby : Klaus.
Victoria : Klaus.
Ted Mosby : German name.
Victoria : Yeah, German guy.
Ted Mosby : Hm. When you were living in Germany and we were doing the whole long distance thing, wasn't there a Klaus in your class?
Victoria : There WAS a Klaus in my class.
Ted Mosby : And you and Klaus were close.
Victoria : Not that close.
Ted Mosby : Yes, yes. You and the Klaus from your class were quite close.
Victoria : Kind of close.
Ted Mosby : Was that YOUR Klaus?
Victoria : MY Klaus?
Ted Mosby : In your class.
Victoria : In my class?
Ted Mosby : Is your Klaus the kind-of-close Klaus from your class?
Victoria : Yes.

Victoria : Okay, fine. Just let yourself off the hook on a technicality. Forget the fact that you did cheat on me.
Ted Mosby : Forget it? I will never forget it. Okay? I will never stop regretting it, because what we had meant that much to me. I just, I wish it had meant something to you too.
Victoria : Are you kidding? I LOVED you!
Ted Mosby : Did you?
Victoria : Yes. We had such an amazing time together. Do you remember that night we found the queasy videotape of Barney?
Ted Mosby : Game night. We played that ridiculous game Marshall invented.
Victoria : Marsh-gammon.
Ted Mosby : Yeah. We've played it a few times since. I still don't get it.
Victoria : Remember the night we met?
Ted Mosby : I remember you not letting me kiss you.
Victoria : Remember why?
Ted Mosby : You had this ridiculous idea that the moment leading up to the kiss...
Victoria : The drumroll.
Ted Mosby : ...Is as good as the kiss itself.
Victoria : [Ted and Victoria slowly move closer to each other] Isn't it?
Ted Mosby : It's certainly more innocent.
Victoria : It's completely harmless.
Ted Mosby : Completely.
[They kiss]

Ted Mosby : Wait. Let me do the dishes.
Victoria : What?
Ted Mosby : Victoria, do you believe in fate?
Victoria : I believe your about to give a big speech on fate.
Ted Mosby : Well I do. And I think when two people like you and me bump into each other, it means something. I have to make amends for what I did. Look, I can't undo what I did six years ago, but I can wash dishes. It's actually something I'm good at.

Ted Mosby : [after Robin leaves abruptly and awkwardly] Oh, guess who's here: Robin.
Victoria : Oh.
[They share an awkward laugh]
Victoria : I'm really happy for you guys. You look cute together.
Ted Mosby : Oh no, no. We're not together. I mean we, we dated for like a year, but now we're just friends. It's not weird.
Victoria : No. No, why would that be weird? I mean, if you hung out every day, that would...
Ted Mosby : We, do.
Victoria : ...Still not be weird. You know, I don't know anybody that hangs out with their ex every day.
Ted Mosby : Well, Barney does.
Victoria : Really? Who's Barney's ex-girlfriend?
Ted Mosby : Robin.
Victoria : Your Robin?
Ted Mosby : Mine and Barney's.
Victoria : You don't, all three, hang out together.
Ted Mosby : All the time.
Victoria : And, we have weird.
-
Ted Mosby : Well, this feels familiar. You leaving, me kind of wanting to say, "Don't go."
Victoria : Little late for that.
Ted Mosby : Little bit.
[beat]
Ted Mosby : Don't go.
Victoria : Ted...
Ted Mosby : I'm sorry. I just... Why didn't I say it then? Why'd I let you get on that plane? Why didn't I get on it with you? What would our lives be right now, if we had just... held on? Would I have still run into you at this party tonight, or would we have been there together? We'd go home... to our home. You cook. I do the dishes. I'm happy that you're happy, but... damn it. What if?
Victoria : Do you really want to know the answer to that?
Ted Mosby : No. I think it would kill me.
Victoria : Goodbye, Ted.
-
Victoria : Goodbye, Ted.
Ted Mosby : Okay, yes. What's the answer?
Victoria : There is a reason that it didn't work out between you and me, but it's not Germany. And I'm willing to bet it's the same reason none of your other relationships in the last six years have lasted either. It's Robin.
Ted Mosby : No.
Victoria : Yes. She is so much bigger in your world than you realize. And this thing that you're all doing, you and Barney and Robin, where the three of you hang out at the bar night in, night out, like you're all just buddies? That doesn't work. Trust me.
Ted Mosby : You-You've got it all wrong.
Victoria : I'm right about this. Goodbye, Ted.
Narrator : [Voice over] And sure enough, she was right. It didn't work; we just didn't realize it yet.
