In the weeks leading up to aunt lily and uncle marshall's wedding,
Some weird stuff started happening.
Why does my stomach hurt?
I'm sorry, baby. I ate a bunch of ice cream earlier today.
Oh, baby, you know we're lactose-intolerant.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you suggesting that
When one of you feels something, the other feels it, too?
Oh, god,
You guys are so codependent.
No, we're not.
Oh, really?
What about the other day?
Oh, I need to get some eggs.
Oh, I'll come with you.
Just because we like spending time together
Doesn't mean we're codependent.
Really?
Then whatever happened to your plan of spending
The last two weeks before your wedding sleeping apart?
Okay, we decided
Not to do that because of...
Logistics.
Wedding logistics.
Frickin' logistics, man.
They mess everything up.
You didn't do it because you couldn't do it.
Sure we could.
Then why don't you?
You can stay with me.
It would make our wedding night more special.
Okay, let's do it.
Done.
I'm gonna go grab a beer.
I'll come with you.
No. I'll stay.
Okay, I know. You know what? I got to go.
Good-bye.
My mom's driving me cra...
God, you guys are
Covered in sauce.
We'll get to that. Me first.
My mom is driving me crazy about the wedding music.
The woman takes
One cruise to jamaica,
And suddenly, it's "not a party without steel drums."
Doesn't everybody know you're not supposed to stress out
A bride right before her wedding?
Okay, sauce, go.
Long story.
I'll tell you later. Yeah.
It's a dirty story, isn't it?
You guys went out to dinner,
Did it in the kitchen and got caught.
Scherbatsky reeks of someone who likes to get caught.
Okay, now I have to wash up for two reasons.
Oh, you didn't. Uh-huh.
That's right.
So you and lily really think you can spend two weeks apart?
You know what, barney?
Lily and I are a lot less cheesy than you make us out to be.
Marshmallow, don't forget to pack my night-night tape.
Oh!
Night-night tape?
Did you make a tape
Of you saying "night-night" to her?
No.
He doesn't say it. He sings it.
Oh, that is so sweet.
Why don't you kiss?
I love it when two chicks make out.
Damn it.
Nobody's bought us anything cool yet off our registry.
What's on there?
Ooh, lots of stuff.
Kitchen aide artisan series tilt-head stand mixer...
Retail price:
$319.99. What else?
Um, the dyson dc17 animal vacuum.
Ah, $549.99.
A little greedy, don't you think?
Did you memorize our registry?
No, I'm training.
Training? For what?
I'm glad you asked.
Ted, robin, get in here!
You guys know how
It's hard to be friends with me 'cause I'm so awesome?
Yes, it's hard to be friends with you.
Go on.
Well, this isn't going to make it any easier.
I am going to be on...
The price is right.
No way! What?
Yes, in a couple days,
Rich fields is going to call out my name,
And I will come on down.
(sighs): Oh...
Whoa, that is so awesome.
Barney, I didn't know you were
Such a fan of the price is right.
Are you kidding?
T.P.I.R. Is not just
An indescribably entertaining hour of television,
It's a microcosm
Of our entire economic system...
A capitalist utopia, where consumers are rewarded
For their persistence, market acumen
And intrepid spirit.
I gaze upon the glory of the price is right,
And I see the face of america.
And it is divine.
Plus, you know, hot chicks on sports cars.
Then lily headed out to robin's
For her first night away from marshall.
I'm ready!
Wow, lily, you look so beautiful.
I know! I'm beautiful!
I'm a fairy princess!
I'm too skinny for my dress!
Meanwhile, I was testing out my best man toast on marshall.
Here goes.
Hello, everyone, I'm ted mosby, marshall's best man.
Strong opening, right? That's fantastic.
When marshall graduates this spring, he'll be a lawyer.
But did you know that marshall has a criminal record?
That's right, on a road trip up to cape cod,
Marshall was pulled over for driving by himself
In a car pool lane.
Oh, crap.
Are you crazy?
You cannot tell that story at my wedding.
My entire family's
Gonna be there.
My little cousins, my mom, my grandma,
My grandpa the minister.
That grandpa died three years ago.
His favorite grandson is getting married, ted.
I think he can take a day off
From haunting the barn to make an appearance.
Whoo!
Whoo-whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-whoo!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
So which one, "a" or "b"?
What was that?
I have to decide
How to run to contestant's row
When they say, "barney stinson, come on down!"
Oh, oh, I didn't realize that's what it was.
Can you do them again?
Yeah, of course.
Ow!
Hey!
Very funny.
Just for that, when I win all the prizes.
The only thing you guys are getting
Is rice-a-roni and turtle wax.
It's $300 just to take the bust in?
Oh, please, you have to have some sympathy for me.
I'm getting married next Saturday,
And I'm too skinny for my dress.
I lost all this weight without even trying.
Hello? Hello?
What happened?
She called me a bitch and hung up.
Oh, I don't know what to do.
I guess I'll just have to pay the $300.
Pay the $300?
Lily, are you crazy?
This isn't a problem.
It's a license to eat.
Look, what have you always
Wanted to eat but didn't
Because it was too ridiculously decadent?
Ooh, a valrhona chocolate soufflé
With a raspberry brandy sauce,
Topped with caramelized bananas and hazelnut gelato.
I have cool whip and half a bag of fritos.
Done!
Okay, think you're gonna be happy with my new toast.
There's nothing sexual.
It's, uh, it's just the story
Of an important moment in your relationship.
Hello, everyone, I'm ted mosby, marshall's best man.
Nice.
Right? That's great.
Back when we were all freshman and marshall and lily
Were just a few short weeks into their relationship...
It was 4:00 in the morning,
And I'm not gonna lie, we were a wee bit wasted.
So I'd gone out to get us some snacks, and when I got back...
I... Love you.
I love you, too.
I know it's soon
To say it,
But I'm so glad you did.
Oh.
Mm...
Yeah.
So here's what you want to talk about
In front of my entire family:
Drinking, having a girl in my room, eating junk food.
Dude, you're almost 30.
Your mom would be mad at you for eating junk food?
Yeah, ted, 'cause nutrition's not important.
Also, lily's never heard that story before.
How's she going to react when she finds out
The first time I said "I love you" to her,
I was actually saying it to you and a bag of funyuns?
But who cares? You did love her.
And you still do.
And you're totally over funyuns, so it's not weird.
Hey, lil.
Hey.
Hey?
(chuckles): That's it?
What are you talking about?
Well, you guys have been spending
I figured there'd be a lot of giggling, crying,
Jumping up and down, and then whatever lily would do.
About the bar menu at mcclaren's is that there were
No fewer than 11 different deep-fried appetizers.
That night,
Aunt lily ordered all of them.
Check it out.
Okay, imagine... Imagine, if you will,
That this is the $1 space
On the price is right wheel.
Ready?
Oh, wow, that was pretty close.
Close? Close?
It's called the price is right, not the price is close!
Oh, man, this is bad.
If I don't win
The spin-off, and I can't get
Into the showcase showdown; everything's ruined!
It's all ruined!
What is ruined?
Why, why is this such a big deal?
Okay, guys...
Sit down. I've got to tell you something.
The reason I'm going on the price is right
Is because I've decided
That it's time for me to meet my real father.
Your father?
That's right.
My father...
Is bob barker.
Your dad...
Is bob barker?
That's right.
The host of the price is right, bob barker?
That's pops.
Barney?
Yes, robin?
Why in the world do you think
Bob barker is your father?
Uh, because my mother told me he was,
That's why.
Mom, who's my dad?
All the other kids at school know who their dad is.
Who's mine?
Oh, I don't know.
That guy.
Look, dad, I got straight a's!
Hey, dad,
Guess who I'm going as for Halloween?
Want to play some catch, pop?
So now I'm gonna go to l.A., be on the show,
Win the showcase showdown,
(voice cracking): Make him proud of me,
And then tell him who I am.
You're gonna tell bob barker
That you're his son on national television?
Why is this so hard for you people to believe?
Drop the popper!
Lily has to gain
Five pounds in a week and a half,
And it is my job to help her get there.
This is the best wedding diet ever.
I lost a pound.
That is impossible.
You ate mcdonald's every meal for three days.
I knew that super size me guy was full of it.
Well, it must be the wedding stress.
We just got to up the intake.
Lily aldrin, drop and give me 20 bites of fudge!
Okay.
Okay?
Don't nibble at it. Attack it!
Come on, lily.
You can do better than that!
I can't.
Well, eat faster,
Before your body figures out it's full.
(sobbing): I'm trying.
Oh, are you gonna cry?
You gonna cry?
Skinny little baby's gonna cry?
(muffled sobbing) well, eat, damn it, eat!
(muffled): Okay!
Hey, so I think I figured out
How to do your toast
In a completely appropriate way. Finally.
Huh. Yeah.
Good evening. I'm ted mosby, marshall's best man.
Still strong, right? Great, yeah.
I'd like to share with you all a story
About the momentous evening last fall
When marshall and lily got back together.
Afterward, we stayed up till 10:00 at night,
Doing shots of chocolate milk.
Man, I'm well nourished right now!
Calcium promotes healthy teeth and bones.
Thanks, marshall,
For teaching us you don't need alcohol
To have fun.
Oh, don't thank me.
Thank my parents for teaching me good values.
Aww.
Now, I wasn't supposed to hear this next part,
But marshall leaned over to lily and whispered.
You know what I'd like to do to you right now?
I'd like to hold your hand.
I'd like to hold your hand so hard
That you're not able to shake hands for a week.
Oh.
Are you just going to talk about holding my hand
Or are you going to hold it?
Then a little later, robin caught them...
Oh, um...
Holding hands.
It was a lovely and responsible night.
To marshall and lily.
That's the worst toast I've ever heard, dude.
It's totally boring.
Exactly.
It's impossible to write a good toast
With you censoring me, man.
I give up.
I'm just going to read that thing
About Jesus and the footprints.
I give up, too.
I don't care if my dress doesn't fit.
I can't eat anymore.
I-I feel like my stomach's going to explode.
I know.
And so, lily and I were both about to give up,
But as you can all see,
Lily does look beautiful in that dress,
And here I am
Giving a toast.
You know, all this time,
I'd been racking my brain,
Trying to pick out the perfect moment
To capture lily and marshall as a couple.
But then I realized
The perfect moment wasn't some needle lost in the haystack
Of their ten years together.
The perfect
Lily and marshall moment happened two nights ago.
Marshall, what are you doing?
Going to the bathroom.
In the hall?
Sleepwalking?
You're wide awake.
Robbing us?
Dude.
Turns out,
All week long,
He'd been sneaking out to a hotel on 72nd,
To meet lily.
God, I missed you.
I can't sleep without you. Mm.
Hey, baby?
Would you be the big spoon for a while?
Sure, baby.
How's the weight gaining going?
Ugh, terribly.
I'm too stressed out without you around.
Mm.
Well, I'm here now.
Mmm. Mmm!
In their experiment with apartness,
But they succeeded in getting lily into her dress.
You know, there really are
A million things I could tell you about lily and marshall,
But really, the only thing you need to know is
That ten years into their relationship,
They still couldn't spend a single night apart.
May they never have to again.
To lily and marshall.
Now, kids, the story
Of aunt lily and uncle marshall's wedding
Is a good one.
No matter how perfectly you plan your...
You know what, wait a second, guys.
I'm going to get to that.
First, I gotta tell you what happened with barney.
Rich, what is the name of our next participant?
Bob, it's barney stinson!
Come on down!
You're the next contestant on the price is right.
No! Oh, my god!
Bob barker: Working his way out.
High-five here, high-five there.
A big old hug here.
Oh, my god! Yeah, I know,
The camera loves me.
Welcome to contestant's row, barney.
Nice suit.
Thanks, da... Bob.
Here is the next item up
For bid!
Bob, the stylish his and her watches
Feature an 18-carat gold bezel and crown
And stainless steel bands.
And barney, what do you bid on that?
Um...
Wrong.
Retail price is $1,349.99,
So, since you round off, I'll say $1,350, bob.
$1,350 for barney.
So, was it $1,350?
I don't know.
Was it?
Oh, my god!
Happy wedding.
Barney, you won that camcorder
In just one second!
That is impressive.
I mean impressive.
Thank you, bob. Now,
To win the computer,
You're going to have to bid again.
And again I will say higher or lower.
And let's show the audience the price
Of the computer, and audience,
Please, do not try to help us.
And the clock will start with your first bid.
$1 billion.
Lower. So, I brought some photos
That I thought you might like to see.
This is me on my first birthday.
Yes, barney. This is...
What are you doing?
Uh, spending some quality time with my dad.
That's very nice, but look, the clock is moving.
You have only about 16 seconds.
Right. Keep bidding.
No, no, I want you to see this. This is great. Keep bidding.
This is me at my graduation.
I know, the hair. That, no, that's nice.
That's nice. You have only
Five, four, three, two, one... Right, oh, look.
$999.
(bell ringing) nine...
Barney, you got it exactly right!
Happy wedding again! Oh, my...
Oh, my god! (laughing)
I have to be honest, bob.
The big wheel is the only weak part of my game.
I'm sure you'll do just fine, son.
Did you just...
I'm ready, bob.
Do it! Do it!
Here we go!
He's looking for the dollar.
It's going 'round, and 'round...
Oh, no, you spun it too hard.
No, he didn't spin it hard enough.
Here it comes, barney.
It's coming on down. (all imitating beeping)
You've got it!
You won... (screaming)
Beautiful. But barney...
Barney, you're not through.
You're not through. (screaming)
You've won $1,000.
You've won a place in the showcase.
You are doing splendidly so far.
Thank you. Would you, would you say you're proud of me?
Sure.
That was kind of a weird moment.
Very well, barney,
You have seen the first showcase.
Do you want to bid on it,
Or do you want to pass it to millie?
Please, no car and an above-ground spa?
Pass.
Millie, he has passed this showcase to you.
What do you bid on it? Uh...
$17,640.
Barney (under breath): Overbid!
Now, let's see showcase ♪2.
Barney, your showcase begins with a mystery.
Oh, I love this.
I can't believe how excited I am right now.
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Barney, you have seen your showcase.
What do you bid on it?
Please, please.
Please.
Let me.
1-8-4-2-1.
I don't even know what we're going to do
With a dune buggy, but I want it!
Yeah. Please.
And the actual retail price
Of your showcase is...
$14,628.
(buzzer buzzing) millie, you are over.
Too bad.
Barney, you bid $18,421 on your showcase.
And the actual retail price
Of barney's showcase is...
$18,421, exactly right!
You win both showcases, barney.
Oh, my god! Oh, my god.
(bell ringing) bob barker, reminding you,
Help control the pet...
Bob, bob, excuse me. Yeah.
Before, before you wrap up the show,
There's just something I want to say to you. Yes?
Congratulations
On 35 wonderful years hosting the price is right.
Well, thank you, barney.
Thank you ver... Have your pets spayed or neutered.
(voice cracking): Good-bye, everybody.
Why didn't you tell him?
Well, it's just...
If you lived your whole life thinking one thing,
It would be pretty devastating to find out that wasn't true.
I just don't think bob could have handled it.
Bob. Yeah.
Probably a good choice.
Yeah, he's really sensitive.
Anyway, on the bright side.
(gasps) happy wedding again!
And that's the story
Of how uncle barney gave marshall and lily a dune buggy
For their wedding.
Hey, lily.
Um, I thought since we're going to be apart for two whole weeks,
I would sing you your night-night song.
Mm.
Come on, ted.
No, it's weird.
You promised.
