Season 2 · Tập 4

Kids, sometimes your relationship goes so smoothly for so long

/kɪdz/ /ˈsʌm.taɪmz/ /jʊr/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪp/ /ɡoʊz/ /fɔːr/ /lɔːŋ/

that you think it will be that way forever.

/ðæt/ /juː/ /θɪŋk/ /ɪt/ /wɪl/ /biː/ /ðæt/ /weɪ/ /fərˈɛvər/

It never is.

/ɪt/ /ˈnɛv.ər/ /ɪz/

Well, we just had our first fight.

/wɛl/ /wiː/ /dʒʌst/ /hæd/ /aʊər/ /fɜːrst/ /faɪt/

We had our first fight.

/wiː/ /hæd/ /aʊər/ /fɜːrst/ /faɪt/

Oh, no, what'd you fight about?

/noʊ/ /juː/ /faɪt/ /əˈbaʊt/

Oh, no, what'd you fight about?

/noʊ/ /juː/ /faɪt/ /əˈbaʊt/

A few months ago, my architecture firm was approached

/fjuː/ /əˈɡoʊ/ /maɪ/ /ˈɑːrkɪtɛktʃər/ /wɒz/

to design this new building...

/dɪˈzaɪn/ /njuː/ /ˈbɪldɪŋ/

It's this big skyscraper in Spokane.

/bɪɡ/ /ˈskaɪˌskreɪpər/

It'd be a huge project for his firm.

/biː/ /hjuːdʒ/ /ˈprɒdʒɛkt/ /fɔːr/ /hɪz/

And if we don't get it, we could go under.

/ænd/ /ɪf/ /wiː/ /ɡɛt/ /ɪt/ /wiː/ /kʊd/ /ɡoʊ/ /ˈʌndər/

So anyway, the head architect unveils his new design

/ˈɛniweɪ/ /hɛd/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/ /hɪz/ /njuː/ /dɪˈzaɪn/

to the whole company.

/hoʊl/ /ˈkʌmpəni/

- No. - No.

/noʊ/ /noʊ/

Yes.

All skyscrapers kind of look like a...

/ɔːl/ /kaɪnd/ /lʊk/ /laɪk/

Marshall, it's a 78-story pink marble tower

/ˈstɔːri/

with a rounded top

/wɪð/ /tɒp/

and two spherical entryways at the front.

/ænd/ /tuː/

Wow, so it's the whole package.

/hoʊl/ /ˈpækɪdʒ/

- Yeah, you did. - Had to.

/juː/ /dɪd/ /hæd/

Oh, dude, if they're selling condos, you got to get me in.

/ɪf/ /juː/ /ɡɛt/ /miː/

And don't give me the shaft.

/ænd/ /ɡɪv/ /miː/

- Yeah, you did. - Had to.

/juː/ /dɪd/ /hæd/

It's a travesty.

It's gonna define the skyline of the city.

/ˈsɪt.i/

If it was me, I could've designed something amazing.

/ɪf/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /miː/ /ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/ /əˈmeɪzɪŋ/

Instead, I'm spending 12 hours a day designing the cornices.

/ɪnˈstɛd/ /ˈaʊərz/ /deɪ/ /dɪˈzaɪnɪŋ/

- Yeah, you did. - That wasn't one.

/juː/ /dɪd/ /ðæt/

So you and Ted had your first fight.

/juː/ /ænd/ /hæd/ /jʊr/ /fɜːrst/ /faɪt/

It obviously ended well. I mean, you're here with me.

/ɪt/ /ˈɒbviəsli/ /wɛl/ /miːn/ /hɪr/ /wɪð/ /miː/

Actually, it didn't end at all.

/ˈæktʃuəli/ /ɪt/ /ɛnd/ /ɔːl/

I started getting bummed out, so I came here.

/ˈɡɛtɪŋ/ /aʊt/ /hɪr/

It's what I do.

/wɒt/ /duː/

When my grandma died, I got a perm.

/wɛn/ /maɪ/ /ˈɡrænmɑː/ /daɪd/

Ooh, two tragedies in one day.

/tuː/ /deɪ/

The thing is, Ted has been literally

/θɪŋ/ /ɪz/ /hæz/

complaining about work nonstop for weeks.

/əˈbaʊt/ /wɜːrk/ /fɔːr/

So, when I came over today, I was kind of done.

/wɛn/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /təˈdeɪ/ /wɒz/ /kaɪnd/ /dʌn/

- Hey. - Hey. -Hey. -Hey.

- How was your day? - Good.

/haʊ/ /wɒz/ /jʊr/ /deɪ/ /ɡʊd/

Wow, you're a great interviewer.

/ɡreɪt/

Aren't you gonna ask how my day was?

/juː/ /æsk/ /haʊ/ /maɪ/ /deɪ/ /wɒz/

No, I know how it was. It was awful.

/noʊ/ /noʊ/ /haʊ/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/

Ooh, you want to rent a movie tonight?

/juː/ /wɒnt/ /rɛnt/ /ˈmuːvi/ /təˈnaɪt/

You know, um...

/juː/ /noʊ/

I listen to your work stories all the time.

/ˈlɪs.ən/ /jʊr/ /wɜːrk/ /ˈstɔːriz/ /ɔːl/ /taɪm/

Yeah, but... and I don't want to be rude here,

/bʌt/ /ænd/ /wɒnt/ /biː/ /ruːd/ /hɪr/

but my work stories are interesting.

/bʌt/ /maɪ/ /wɜːrk/ /ˈstɔːriz/ /ˈɪn.trɪ.stɪŋ/

I'm a television news reporter.

/njuːz/ /rɪˈpɔːtər/

- Robin... - What?

/wɒt/

I knew exactly what he was going to say.

/njuː/ /ɪɡˈzæktli/ /wɒt/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/ /seɪ/

I was just helping him get there faster.

/wɒz/ /dʒʌst/ /ˈhɛlpɪŋ/ /hɪm/ /ɡɛt/ /ðɛr/

You should work at a suicide hotline.

/juː/ /ʃʊd/ /wɜːrk/

And then it got ugly.

/ænd/ /ðɛn/ /ɪt/ /ˈʌɡli/

What I don't do is tell you the same story over and over again.

/wɒt/ /duː/ /ɪz/ /tɛl/ /juː/ /seɪm/ /ˈstɔːri/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /ænd/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /əˈɡɛn/

I mean, you wouldn't watch the same movie

/miːn/ /juː/ /wɒtʃ/ /seɪm/ /ˈmuːvi/

over and over again, would you?

/ˈoʊ.vər/ /ænd/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /əˈɡɛn/ /wʊd/ /juː/

Maybe a great movie like Die Hard.

/ˈmeɪbi/ /ɡreɪt/ /ˈmuːvi/ /laɪk/ /daɪ/ /hɑːrd/

But Field of Dreams?

/bʌt/ /fiːld/ /driːmz/

Once is more than enough.

/wʌns/ /ɪz/ /mɔːr/ /ðæn/ /ɪˈnʌf/

So that's your go-to bad movie?

/jʊr/ /bæd/ /ˈmuːvi/

The number one example on the tip of your tongue

/ˈnʌmbər/ /ɪɡˈzɑːm.pəl/ /ɒn/ /jʊr/

of a bad movie is Field of Dreams?

/bæd/ /ˈmuːvi/ /ɪz/ /fiːld/ /driːmz/

It's about ghost baseball players.

/əˈbaʊt/ /ɡoʊst/ /ˈbeɪsbɔːl/

I think it's stupid.

/θɪŋk/ /ˈstjuːpɪd/

So, now he's all mad at me about the stupid movie.

/naʊ/ /ɔːl/ /mæd/ /miː/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ˈstjuːpɪd/ /ˈmuːvi/

Robin, he's upset because you wouldn't listen to him,

/ʌpˈsɛt/ /bɪˈkɔːz/ /juː/ /ˈlɪs.ən/ /hɪm/

not because you didn't like some movie.

/bɪˈkɔːz/ /juː/ /laɪk/ /sʌm/ /ˈmuːvi/

How do you not like Field of Dreams?!

/haʊ/ /duː/ /juː/ /laɪk/ /fiːld/ /driːmz/

Listening is the foundation of a relationship.

/ˈlɪsənɪŋ/ /ɪz/ /faʊnˈdeɪʃən/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪp/

And if he's really droning on,

/ænd/ /ɪf/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /ɒn/

you can always practice saying the alphabet backwards.

/juː/ /kæn/ /ˈɔːl.weɪz/ /ˈpræk.tɪs/

You know, in case you get pulled over for a DUI.

/juː/ /noʊ/ /juː/ /ɡɛt/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /fɔːr/

I guess I don't know how to do that.

/ɡɛs/ /noʊ/ /haʊ/ /duː/ /ðæt/

Yeah, it's really hard, even when you're sober.

/ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /hɑːrd/ /ˈiːvən/ /wɛn/

That's what I tried to explain to the cop.

/wɒt/ /ɪkˈspleɪn/

No, I mean, I guess I don't know how to do this girlfriend thing.

/noʊ/ /miːn/ /ɡɛs/ /noʊ/ /haʊ/ /duː/ /ˈɡɜːrlfrɛnd/ /θɪŋ/

I've never been in a relationship this serious before.

/ˈnɛv.ər/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪp/ /ˈsɪəriəs/ /bɪˈfɔːr/

I should probably go tell him I'm sorry, shouldn't I?

/ʃʊd/ /ˈprɒbəbli/ /ɡoʊ/ /tɛl/ /hɪm/ /ˈsɒr.i/

You're trying to do it right now, aren't you?

/duː/ /ɪt/ /raɪt/ /naʊ/ /juː/

What the hell comes before "Q"?

/wɒt/ /bɪˈfɔːr/

Then at the end of the movie when he has a catch with his dad, like...

/ðɛn/ /ɛnd/ /ˈmuːvi/ /wɛn/ /hiː/ /hæz/ /wɪð/ /hɪz/ /dæd/ /laɪk/

like he never did when he was young enough for it to matter.

/laɪk/ /hiː/ /ˈnɛv.ər/ /dɪd/ /wɛn/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /jʌŋ/ /ɪˈnʌf/ /fɔːr/ /ɪt/ /ˈmætər/

Can we talk about something else?

/kæn/ /wiː/ /tɔːk/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/ /ɛls/

You know what, dude?

/juː/ /noʊ/ /wɒt/

Forget about Robin, okay? You're hanging with us tonight.

/fərˈɡɛt/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ˈhæŋɪŋ/ /wɪð/ /ʌs/ /təˈnaɪt/

I've got an awome party lined up.

/ˈpɑːrti/ /ʌp/

Oh, God.

This gonna be another one of your weird all-guy parties?

/biː/ /əˈnʌðər/ /jʊr/

That was a poker game. What is wrong with you?

/ðæt/ /wɒz/ /ɡeɪm/ /wɒt/ /ɪz/ /rɒŋ/ /wɪð/ /juː/

No, it's the first law school party of the year

/noʊ/ /fɜːrst/ /lɔː/ /skuːl/ /ˈpɑːrti/ /jɪr/

and it's gonna be awesome.

/ænd/ /biː/ /ˈɔːsəm/

I haven't seen this guys since, like, last year

/ɡaɪz/ /sɪns/ /laɪk/ /læst/ /jɪr/

before Lily and I broke up.

/bɪˈfɔːr/ /ænd/ /ʌp/

So I'm gonna have to break the news to everybody.

/hæv/ /breɪk/ /njuːz/ /ˈɛv.ri.bɒd.i/

It's really gonna bum them out.

/ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /ðɛm/ /aʊt/

This party's gonna suck.

Well, love to join you at that one.

/wɛl/ /lʌv/ /dʒɔɪn/ /juː/ /ðæt/

But I got tickets to Foxy Boxing.

/bʌt/ /ˈtɪkɪts/

I wish I could join you guys, but I got to get back

/wɪʃ/ /kʊd/ /dʒɔɪn/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /bʌt/ /ɡɛt/ /bæk/

to my apparently boring job.

/maɪ/ /ˈbɔːrɪŋ/ /dʒɒb/

- Your job's not boring. - Robin thinks so.

/jʊr/ /ˈbɔːrɪŋ/

Dude, lots of chicks think architects are hot.

/tʃɪks/ /θɪŋk/ /hɒt/

Think about it, you create something out of nothing.

/θɪŋk/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ɪt/ /juː/ /kriˈeɪt/ /ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/ /aʊt/ /ˈnʌθ.ɪŋ/

You're like God.

/laɪk/

There's nobody hotter than God.

/ˈnoʊ.bɒd.i/ /ˈhɒtər/ /ðæn/

I love it when you quote Scripture.

/lʌv/ /ɪt/ /wɛn/ /juː/

I'm telling you, you should use the architect angle with the ladies.

/juː/ /juː/ /ʃʊd/ /juːz/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/ /wɪð/

Okay, first of all, I have a girlfriend.

/fɜːrst/ /ɔːl/ /hæv/ /ˈɡɜːrlfrɛnd/

Second, the architect angle doesn't even work on her.

/ˈsɛk.ənd/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/ /ˈiːvən/ /wɜːrk/ /ɒn/ /hɜːr/

And, third, I can't imagine that working on anyone ever.

/ænd/ /ɪˈmædʒ.ɪn/ /ðæt/ /ˈwɜːrkɪŋ/ /ɒn/ /ˈɛniwʌn/ /ˈɛv.ər/

That's 'cause you're always like...

/kɔːz/ /ˈɔːl.weɪz/ /laɪk/

Ted Mosby, architect.

/ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

If it were me, I'd be like...

/ɪf/ /ɪt/ /wɜːr/ /miː/ /biː/ /laɪk/

Ted Mosby, architect.

/ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Anything sounds impressive when it's said with the right attitude.

/ˈɛn.i.θɪŋ/ /wɛn/ /sɛd/ /wɪð/ /raɪt/ /ˈætɪtjuːd/

Marshall Ericksen. Marshall Eriksen.

Recently dumped and heading to a lame party.

/ˈriːsəntli/ /dʌmpt/ /ænd/ /ˈpɑːrti/

Whoa. Whoa, ladies, please take it easy.

/pliːz/ /teɪk/ /ɪt/ /ˈiː.zi/

There's enough of me for everyone.

/ɪˈnʌf/ /miː/ /fɔːr/ /ˈɛv.ri.wʌn/

Oh. Hi. Hello. Oh, hi, hello.

All right. We're gonna take off..

/ɔːl/ /raɪt/ /teɪk/ /ɒf/

Wait up, I'll leave with you guys.

/weɪt/ /ʌp/ /liːv/ /wɪð/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/

Ted Mosby, architect.

/ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Trust me.

/trʌst/ /miː/

Hey, just out of curiosity.

/dʒʌst/ /aʊt/

If a guy told you he was an architect,

/ɪf/ /ɡaɪ/ /toʊld/ /juː/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

what would you think of that?

/wɒt/ /wʊd/ /juː/ /θɪŋk/ /ðæt/

Are you kidding?

/juː/ /ˈkɪdɪŋ/

Architects are hot.

/hɒt/

How do you think Mr. Brady scored a babe like Carol?

/haʊ/ /duː/ /juː/ /θɪŋk/ /beɪb/ /laɪk/

Solid point.

/pɔɪnt/

She did have hair of gold.

/ʃiː/ /dɪd/ /hæv/ /hɛr/

- Yes, she did. - Mm-hmm.

/ʃiː/ /dɪd/

Hey, Carl, is Ted still here?

/ɪz/ /hɪr/

No.

/noʊ/

Hey, Lily. Hey, Lily.

- You still single? - Yes.

/juː/ /ˈsɪŋɡəl/

You know... I've poured a lot of free drinks for you over the years.

/juː/ /noʊ/ /lɒt/ /friː/ /drɪŋks/ /fɔːr/ /juː/ /ˈoʊ.vər/

A lot.

/lɒt/

Carl, do you really want to be with a woman

/duː/ /juː/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /wɒnt/ /biː/ /wɪð/ /ˈwʊm.ən/

who would trade sex for beer?

/huː/ /wʊd/ /sɛks/ /fɔːr/ /bɪər/

Only if you're into it.

/ˈoʊnli/ /ɪf/ /ɪt/

It's on me.

/ɒn/ /miː/

Thanks.

I wonder where Ted went.

/ˈwʌndər/ /wɛr/ /wɛnt/

Ted Mosby, the architect?

/ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Actually, yeah.

/ˈæktʃuəli/

Oh, he is such a cool guy.

/hiː/ /ɪz/ /sʌtʃ/ /kuːl/ /ɡaɪ/

He was here earlier.

/hiː/ /wɒz/ /hɪr/ /ˈɜːrliər/

And what made you decide you wanted to become an architect?

/ænd/ /wɒt/ /juː/ /dɪˈsaɪd/ /juː/ /bɪˈkʌm/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Well, you know, soul of an artist,

/wɛl/ /juː/ /noʊ/ /ˈɑːrtɪst/

hands of a master craftsman.

/hændz/ /ˈmæstər/

It was inevitable, I guess.

/ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ɡɛs/

I bet you can draw, can't you?

/bɛt/ /juː/ /kæn/ /drɔː/ /juː/

You should draw me.

/juː/ /ʃʊd/ /drɔː/ /miː/

Well, I could try, but you might end up looking like a midcentury tri-level.

/wɛl/ /kʊd/ /traɪ/ /bʌt/ /juː/ /maɪt/ /ɛnd/ /ʌp/ /laɪk/

Hey. If you want, my friend Marshall invited me to this party we could all go to.

/ɪf/ /juː/ /wɒnt/ /maɪ/ /frɛnd/ /miː/ /ˈpɑːrti/ /wiː/ /kʊd/ /ɔːl/ /ɡoʊ/

Marshall's great. He's just a lawyer,

/ɡreɪt/ /dʒʌst/ /ˈlɔːjər/

but somebody has to push the paper around for us creative types.

/bʌt/ /ˈsʌm.bɒd.i/ /hæz/ /pʊʃ/ /ˈpeɪ.pər/ /əˈraʊnd/ /fɔːr/ /ʌs/ /kriˈeɪtɪv/

- Am I right? - Yeah.

/raɪt/

He asked her to a party. Oh, my God, are you okay?

/hiː/ /hɜːr/ /ˈpɑːrti/ /maɪ/ /juː/

Okay? It's awesome. It's a win-win.

/ˈɔːsəm/

Ted got to vent and I don't have to hear it.

/ænd/ /hæv/ /hɪr/ /ɪt/

Maybe after he's done with the talkie-talk, he'll come over

/ˈmeɪbi/ /ˈæf.tər/ /dʌn/ /wɪð/ /kʌm/ /ˈoʊ.vər/

and I'll get the fun part.

/ænd/ /ɡɛt/ /fʌn/ /pɑːrt/

What is wrong with you?

/wɒt/ /ɪz/ /rɒŋ/ /wɪð/ /juː/

God, I feel like I'm teaching love as a second language here.

/fiːl/ /laɪk/ /ˈtiːtʃɪŋ/ /lʌv/ /ˈsɛk.ənd/ /ˈlæŋ.ɡwɪdʒ/ /hɪr/

Okay, you know how when he tells you boring work stories

/juː/ /noʊ/ /haʊ/ /wɛn/ /hiː/ /juː/ /ˈbɔːrɪŋ/ /wɜːrk/ /ˈstɔːriz/

you're supposed to listen?

/səˈpoʊzd/ /ˈlɪs.ən/

Well, when he picks up some random girl at a bar,

/wɛl/ /wɛn/ /hiː/ /ʌp/ /sʌm/ /ɡɜːrl/ /bɑːr/

you're supposed to freak out.

/səˈpoʊzd/ /friːk/ /aʊt/

I'm not freaking out because in my mind, she's fat.

/aʊt/ /bɪˈkɔːz/ /maɪ/ /maɪnd/ /fæt/

She's a kickboxing instructor.

/ɪnˈstrʌktər/

Her ass looks better than my face.

/hɜːr/ /ˈbɛt.ər/ /ðæn/ /maɪ/ /feɪs/

All right, we'll swing by the party.

/ɔːl/ /raɪt/ /ˈpɑːrti/

Now the party was for some of Marshall's classmates

/naʊ/ /ˈpɑːrti/ /wɒz/ /fɔːr/ /sʌm/

from Columbia Law School,

/lɔː/ /skuːl/

who by day were some of the sharpest

/huː/ /deɪ/ /wɜːr/ /sʌm/

and most serious young legal minds in the country.

/ænd/ /moʊst/ /ˈsɪəriəs/ /jʌŋ/ /ˈliːɡəl/ /ˈkʌn.tri/

By night, however...

/naɪt/ /haʊˈɛv.ər/

Damn, these are some drunk almost-lawyers.

/ðiːz/ /sʌm/ /drʌŋk/

Okay! Seriously...

/ˈsɪəriəsli/

who wants to shave my ass?!

/huː/ /maɪ/

That guy went on to become a Supreme Court justice.

/ðæt/ /ɡaɪ/ /wɛnt/ /ɒn/ /bɪˈkʌm/ /kɔːt/ /ˈdʒʌstɪs/

Okay, where are the guys and the hooker?

/wɛr/ /ɡaɪz/ /ænd/

Yo, what's up, ladies? Welcome to the party. Yeah!

/ʌp/ /ˈwɛlkəm/ /ˈpɑːrti/

Just need you to sign this release protecting the host

/dʒʌst/ /niːd/ /juː/ /saɪn/

from any and all responsibility should you harm yourself

/ˈɛn.i/ /ænd/ /ɔːl/ /rɪˌspɒnsɪˈbɪlɪti/ /ʃʊd/ /juː/ /jɔːrˈsɛlf/

or a third party.

/ˈpɑːrti/

Then freakin' rage! Yeah!

/ðɛn/

Hey, drunk legal dude, um... have you seen Marshall Ericksen?

/drʌŋk/ /ˈliːɡəl/ /hæv/ /juː/

He was with a guy named Ted.

/hiː/ /wɒz/ /wɪð/ /ɡaɪ/ /neɪmd/

You mean Ted Mosby, the architect?

/juː/ /miːn/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Man, what a visionary.

/mæn/ /wɒt/

Yeah, they were here.

/ðeɪ/ /wɜːr/ /hɪr/

Awards are nice, they look good on my shelf.

/naɪs/ /ðeɪ/ /lʊk/ /ɡʊd/ /ɒn/ /maɪ/ /ʃɛlf/

But none of that acclaim means anything compared to the joy

/bʌt/ /nʌn/ /ðæt/ /ˈɛn.i.θɪŋ/

of seeing the sun rise over your first building.

/sʌn/ /raɪz/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /jʊr/ /fɜːrst/ /ˈbɪldɪŋ/

Wow. Wow.

I would love to watch the sun rise with you.

/wʊd/ /lʌv/ /wɒtʃ/ /sʌn/ /raɪz/ /wɪð/ /juː/

I know you would.

/noʊ/ /juː/ /wʊd/

It's the job.

/dʒɒb/

Dude. You should let us shave your ass tonight.

/juː/ /ʃʊd/ /lɛt/ /ʌs/ /jʊr/ /təˈnaɪt/

No way.

/noʊ/ /weɪ/

Hey, Marshall, where's Lily?

I didn't want to ruin the party for everybody this early, but, uh...

/wɒnt/ /ˈruːɪn/ /ˈpɑːrti/ /fɔːr/ /ˈɛv.ri.bɒd.i/ /ˈɜːr.li/ /bʌt/

everyone take a seat.

/ˈɛv.ri.wʌn/ /teɪk/ /siːt/

Um... Lily actually called off the wedding this summer

/ˈæktʃuəli/ /ɒf/ /ˈwɛdɪŋ/ /ˈsʌmər/

to go to San Francisco.

/ɡoʊ/ /frænˈsɪskoʊ/

So...

we're broken up.

/ʌp/

Her name wasn't on your lease, was it?

/hɜːr/ /neɪm/ /ɒn/ /jʊr/ /wɒz/ /ɪt/

'Cause if not, New York state law, you're not obligated

/kɔːz/ /ɪf/ /njuː/ /jɔːrk/ /lɔː/

to give her half the deposit when you move.

/ɡɪv/ /hɜːr/ /hæf/ /wɛn/ /juː/ /muːv/

Yeah, that's not really the part I was worried about, guys.

/ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /pɑːrt/ /wɒz/ /ˈwʌrid/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ɡaɪz/

And don't forget the precedent set by Smith v. Rosenblatt, '74.

/ænd/ /fərˈɡɛt/ /sɛt/

Any personal effects she left in your house or dwelling

/ˈɛn.i/ /ˈpɜːrsənl/ /ʃiː/ /lɛft/ /jʊr/ /haʊs/

become yours after 30 days.

/bɪˈkʌm/ /jɔːrz/ /ˈæf.tər/

Guys, can we cease and desist with the lawyer speak for a minute?

/ɡaɪz/ /kæn/ /wiː/ /ænd/ /wɪð/ /ˈlɔːjər/ /spiːk/ /fɔːr/ /ˈmɪn.ɪt/

Love died.

/lʌv/ /daɪd/

The love that made you all believe in love, that's dead now.

/lʌv/ /ðæt/ /juː/ /ɔːl/ /bɪˈliːv/ /lʌv/ /dɛd/ /naʊ/

You should sue her.

/juː/ /ʃʊd/ /hɜːr/

Uh, really? On what ground, Kara?

/ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /ɒn/ /wɒt/ /ɡraʊnd/

On the grounds of... shut up.

/ɒn/ /ʃʌt/ /ʌp/

That's our attorney general.

/aʊər/ /ˈdʒɛnərəl/

See? Marshall's still hung up on our breakup.

/siː/ /ʌp/ /ɒn/ /aʊər/ /ˈbreɪkʌp/

Why? Because I listened to him.

/waɪ/ /bɪˈkɔːz/ /hɪm/

It was a strong and nurturing relationship

/ɪt/ /wɒz/ /strɒŋ/ /ænd/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪp/

that I threw away like old gum.

/ðæt/ /əˈweɪ/ /laɪk/ /oʊld/ /ɡʌm/

Not that I'm worried or anything, but, um, back to the sun rising

/ðæt/ /ˈwʌrid/ /ˈɛn.i.θɪŋ/ /bʌt/ /bæk/ /sʌn/

over Ted and, uh... oh, what tasteful way did you describe her?

/ˈoʊ.vər/ /ænd/ /wɒt/ /weɪ/ /dɪd/ /juː/ /dɪˈskraɪb/ /hɜːr/

The girl with the smackable ass.

/ɡɜːrl/ /wɪð/

Yes, that's the young lady.

/jʌŋ/ /ˈleɪdi/

So, I know the bouncer at this techno club, Posers.

/noʊ/ /klʌb/

Do you feel like dancing?

/duː/ /juː/ /fiːl/ /laɪk/ /ˈdænsɪŋ/

Yeah, okay. There is no way Ted went dancing.

/ðɛr/ /ɪz/ /noʊ/ /weɪ/ /wɛnt/ /ˈdænsɪŋ/

Ted hates clubs.

/heɪts/

Hell, yeah. I love clubs.

/lʌv/

I mean, I was going to design a cathedral tonight,

/miːn/ /wɒz/ /ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/ /dɪˈzaɪn/ /kəˈθiːdrəl/ /təˈnaɪt/

kind of take a whack at the whole relationship between God and man conundrum.

/kaɪnd/ /teɪk/ /hoʊl/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪp/ /bɪˈtwiːn/ /ænd/ /mæn/

But sure, let's go dancing.

/bʌt/ /ʃʊr/ /ɡoʊ/ /ˈdænsɪŋ/

Wait, let me just check with my friend.

/weɪt/ /lɛt/ /miː/ /dʒʌst/ /tʃɛk/ /wɪð/ /maɪ/ /frɛnd/

Okay. Okay.

Hey, Marshall. You up for some super loud, repetitive music

/juː/ /ʌp/ /fɔːr/ /sʌm/ /ˈsuːpər/ /laʊd/ /ˈmjuːzɪk/

that hasn't changed since the mid-90s?

/ðæt/ /tʃeɪndʒd/ /sɪns/

Um... only always.

/ˈoʊnli/ /ˈɔːl.weɪz/

Let's go.

/ɡoʊ/

Dancing? He went dancing with this girl?

/ˈdænsɪŋ/ /hiː/ /wɛnt/ /ˈdænsɪŋ/ /wɪð/ /ɡɜːrl/

Okay, maybe this is a little bad.

/ˈmeɪbi/ /ɪz/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /bæd/

Dancing is bad. Dancing leads to sex.

/ˈdænsɪŋ/ /ɪz/ /bæd/ /ˈdænsɪŋ/ /sɛks/

Did you grow up in that Footloose town?

/dɪd/ /juː/ /ɡroʊ/ /ʌp/ /ðæt/ /taʊn/

I'm calling him. I'm telling him that I was wrong

/ˈkɔːlɪŋ/ /hɪm/ /hɪm/ /ðæt/ /wɒz/ /rɒŋ/

and I'm sorry, and I totally want to listen to his stupid stories.

/ænd/ /ˈsɒr.i/ /ænd/ /ˈtoʊtəli/ /wɒnt/ /ˈlɪs.ən/ /hɪz/ /ˈstjuːpɪd/ /ˈstɔːriz/

Yeah, think of another way to phrase that and you'll be fine.

/θɪŋk/ /əˈnʌðər/ /weɪ/ /freɪz/ /ðæt/ /ænd/ /biː/ /faɪn/

He's not answering.

Calling Marshall.

/ˈkɔːlɪŋ/

Hello. Hello.

Marshall, hi, it's Robin. Can I talk to Ted?

/kæn/ /tɔːk/

Oh, Robin, hi. Oh, Robin, hi.

Um, no, Ted's not here tonight. He's, uh... he's working.

/noʊ/ /hɪr/ /təˈnaɪt/ /ˈwɜːrkɪŋ/

Uh, okay. Bye. Uh, okay, bye.

/baɪ/ /baɪ/

Marshall just lied.

/dʒʌst/ /laɪd/

Ted's cheating on me.

/ˈtʃiːtɪŋ/ /ɒn/ /miː/

Excuse me. I'm looking for a couple guys who came in here earlier.

/ɪkˈskjuːz/ /miː/ /fɔːr/ /ˈkʌpəl/ /ɡaɪz/ /huː/ /hɪr/ /ˈɜːrliər/

One's about six-four, 210, sandy brown hair.

/əˈbaʊt/ /hɛr/

And the other's a cheating bastard.

/ænd/ /ˈtʃiːtɪŋ/

You're going to need to refresh my memory.

/ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/ /niːd/ /maɪ/ /ˈmɛməri/

Okay, fella, baby knows how this game's played.

/ˈbeɪbi/ /haʊ/

How's a $20 help your memory?

/hɛlp/ /jʊr/ /ˈmɛməri/

Thanks, but seriously, it was crazy tonight.

/bʌt/ /ˈsɪəriəsli/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ˈkreɪzi/ /təˈnaɪt/

You really do need to refresh my memory.

/juː/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /duː/ /niːd/ /maɪ/ /ˈmɛməri/

Then can I have the...?

/ðɛn/ /kæn/ /hæv/

That's cool. You keep that.

/kuːl/ /juː/ /kiːp/ /ðæt/

So these guys-- one of them's an architect.

/ðiːz/ /ɡaɪz/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Ted Mosby, the architect?

/ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

That's the one.

Oh, yeah, he was here.

/hiː/ /wɒz/ /hɪr/

And then I was all, "No, Frank Gehry. You're on your own this time."

/ænd/ /ðɛn/ /wɒz/ /ɔːl/ /noʊ/ /ɒn/ /jʊr/ /oʊn/ /taɪm/

And that, my dear, was the end of that hack's career.

/ænd/ /ðæt/ /maɪ/ /dɪər/ /wɒz/ /ɛnd/ /ðæt/ /kəˈrɪr/

I live across the street.

/lɪv/ /əˈkrɒs/ /striːt/

That is one hell of a non sequitur. That is one hell of a non sequitur. (?)

/ðæt/ /ɪz/ /ðæt/ /ɪz/

You want to come over?

/juː/ /wɒnt/ /kʌm/ /ˈoʊ.vər/

Well, I don't know.

/wɛl/ /noʊ/

But I suppose I should at least give you a ride home.

/bʌt/ /ʃʊd/ /liːst/ /ɡɪv/ /juː/ /raɪd/ /hoʊm/

Hop on.

/ɒn/

I'll see you at book club, Vinny.

/siː/ /juː/ /bʊk/ /klʌb/

- Yeah. I'll be bringing the crudités. - Nice.

/biː/ /ˈbrɪŋɪŋ/ /naɪs/

Dude, dude, what are you doing?

/wɒt/ /juː/

Galloping.

You proved it, all right? The whole Ted Mosby, architect things works.

/juː/ /ɪt/ /ɔːl/ /raɪt/ /hoʊl/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/ /θɪŋz/ /wɜːrks/

Architects rule! Whoo-hee!

/ruːl/

Aren't you a little worried that a certain somebody

/juː/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /ˈwʌrid/ /ðæt/ /ˈsʌm.bɒd.i/

might find out that you're doing this?

/maɪt/ /faɪnd/ /aʊt/ /ðæt/

This isn't you, Ted.

/juː/

It is tonight.

/ɪt/ /ɪz/ /təˈnaɪt/

Whoo! Whoo!

/wuː/ /wuː/

You know this girl. Where does she live?

/juː/ /noʊ/ /ɡɜːrl/ /wɛr/ /dʌz/ /ʃiː/ /lɪv/

I'm not telling you that for less than 20 bucks.

/juː/ /ðæt/ /fɔːr/ /lɛs/ /ðæn/

- Well, I'm out of money. - I'm cashed, too.

/wɛl/ /aʊt/ /ˈmʌn.i/

I'll take your purse.

/teɪk/ /jʊr/

My purse?

/maɪ/

Yeah, my girl likes clutches.

/maɪ/ /ɡɜːrl/

Okay, fine.

/faɪn/

You should tell her that looks really good with a chocolate boot.

/juː/ /ʃʊd/ /tɛl/ /hɜːr/ /ðæt/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /ɡʊd/ /wɪð/ /ˈtʃɒklɪt/

Bitch is lucky I brought my small purse.

/ɪz/ /ˈlʌki/ /maɪ/ /smɔːl/

No room for my gun. Here.

/noʊ/ /ruːm/ /fɔːr/ /maɪ/ /ɡʌn/ /hɪr/

Now where does the rodeo slut live?

/naʊ/ /wɛr/ /dʌz/ /lɪv/

The building with the green light, apartment 3-C.

/ˈbɪldɪŋ/ /wɪð/ /ɡriːn/ /laɪt/ /əˈpɑːrtmənt/

Oh, my God, Robin,

/maɪ/

are you going to kick this girl's ass?

/juː/ /ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/ /kɪk/

Yeah... Yeah..

and steal her purse.

/ænd/ /stiːl/ /hɜːr/

I can't believe he's cheating on me.

/bɪˈliːv/ /ˈtʃiːtɪŋ/ /ɒn/ /miː/

You know how many times I could have cheated?

/juː/ /noʊ/ /haʊ/ /ˈmɛn.i/ /taɪmz/ /kʊd/ /hæv/ /ˈtʃiːtɪd/

Six... no seven.

And you know two of them, and they would surprise you.

/ænd/ /juː/ /noʊ/ /tuː/ /ðɛm/ /ænd/ /ðeɪ/ /wʊd/ /sərˈpraɪz/ /juː/

3-C, let's do this. You ready?

/duː/ /juː/ /ˈrɛd.i/

Should I just kick the door in?

/ʃʊd/ /dʒʌst/ /kɪk/ /dɔːr/

Those are really nice heels and you already lost the purse.

/ðoʊz/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /naɪs/ /ænd/ /juː/ /ɔːlˈrɛd.i/ /lɒst/

Let's see if it's unlocked.

/siː/ /ɪf/

It's unlocked.

Okay, get in there and kick some spankable ass.

/ɡɛt/ /ðɛr/ /ænd/ /kɪk/ /sʌm/

Robin. Robin.

- I'm the problem. - What?

/ˈprɒbləm/ /wɒt/

You were right.

/juː/ /wɜːr/ /raɪt/

I don't know how to be a girlfriend.

/noʊ/ /haʊ/ /biː/ /ˈɡɜːrlfrɛnd/

I took the nicest guy in the world

/tʊk/ /ɡaɪ/ /wɜːrld/

and I made him a cheater.

/ænd/ /hɪm/

Well, don't stand out here and beat yourself up.

/wɛl/ /stænd/ /aʊt/ /hɪr/ /ænd/ /biːt/ /jɔːrˈsɛlf/ /ʌp/

Get in there and beat Ted up.

/ɡɛt/ /ðɛr/ /ænd/ /biːt/ /ʌp/

I'll handle the slutty kickboxer.

/ˈhændl/

Actually, I'll take Ted.

/ˈæktʃuəli/ /teɪk/

- Let's do this. - Bring it.

/duː/ /brɪŋ/ /ɪt/

What do you think you're...?

/wɒt/ /duː/ /juː/ /θɪŋk/

Barney? Barney?

Thank God you're here. Can you help with this? I need nails.

/hɪr/ /kæn/ /juː/ /hɛlp/ /wɪð/ /niːd/

Okay, I'm totally lost here. Where's Ted?

/ˈtoʊtəli/ /lɒst/ /hɪr/

Ted? He's at work.

/wɜːrk/

How did you get here?

/haʊ/ /dɪd/ /juː/ /ɡɛt/ /hɪr/

Awesome story. As per usual.

/ˈɔːsəm/ /ˈstɔːri/

How do you think Mr. Brady scored a babe like Carol?

/haʊ/ /duː/ /juː/ /θɪŋk/ /beɪb/ /laɪk/

Solid point.

/pɔɪnt/

- And she did have hair of gold. - Yes, she did.

/ænd/ /ʃiː/ /dɪd/ /hæv/ /hɛr/ /ʃiː/ /dɪd/

Sorry, I forgot my binocs for Foxy Boxing.

/ˈsɒr.i/ /fərˈɡɒt/ /maɪ/ /fɔːr/

Whoo, looks like things just got a little foxier right here.

/wuː/ /laɪk/ /θɪŋz/ /dʒʌst/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /raɪt/ /hɪr/

Yes, they did. And you're just in time.

/ðeɪ/ /dɪd/ /ænd/ /dʒʌst/ /taɪm/

Girls, I got to go, but I'm leaving you in very good, if slightly sullied hands.

/ɡɜːrlz/ /ɡoʊ/ /bʌt/ /juː/ /ˈvɛr.i/ /ɡʊd/ /ɪf/ /ˈslaɪtli/ /hændz/

Don't go. We don't even know your name to look out for your buildings.

/ɡoʊ/ /wiː/ /ˈiːvən/ /noʊ/ /jʊr/ /neɪm/ /lʊk/ /aʊt/ /fɔːr/ /jʊr/

Yeah, stay.

/steɪ/

Excuse us for one second.

/ɪkˈskjuːz/ /ʌs/ /fɔːr/ /ˈsɛk.ənd/

Okay, you were right-- the architect thing totally works.

/juː/ /wɜːr/ /raɪt/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/ /θɪŋ/ /ˈtoʊtəli/ /wɜːrks/

But I've got a girlfriend and I've got to get back to work.

/bʌt/ /ˈɡɜːrlfrɛnd/ /ænd/ /ɡɛt/ /bæk/ /wɜːrk/

This project is getting harder and harder.

/ˈprɒdʒɛkt/ /ɪz/ /ˈɡɛtɪŋ/ /ænd/

- Yeah, you did. - Yeah, had to.

/juː/ /dɪd/ /hæd/

See ya.

/siː/

Sorry, my, uh... intern had to leave.

/ˈsɒr.i/ /maɪ/ /hæd/ /liːv/

Oh, well, that's too bad.

/wɛl/ /bæd/

I'm Anna, by the way.

/weɪ/

Ted Mosby... architect.

/ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

But none of that acclaim means anything compared to the joy

/bʌt/ /nʌn/ /ðæt/ /ˈɛn.i.θɪŋ/

of seeing the sun rise over your first building.

/sʌn/ /raɪz/ /ˈoʊ.vər/ /jʊr/ /fɜːrst/ /ˈbɪldɪŋ/

- Dude, dude, what are you doing? - Galloping.

/wɒt/ /juː/

All right, you proved it. The whole Ted Mosby, architect thing works.

/ɔːl/ /raɪt/ /juː/ /ɪt/ /hoʊl/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/ /θɪŋ/ /wɜːrks/

Architects rule! Whoo-hoo.

/ruːl/

Aren't you afraid a certain somebody might find out about this?

/juː/ /əˈfreɪd/ /ˈsʌm.bɒd.i/ /maɪt/ /faɪnd/ /aʊt/ /əˈbaʊt/

I mean, this isn't you, Ted.

/miːn/ /juː/

It is tonight.

/ɪt/ /ɪz/ /təˈnaɪt/

And that led to a couple of hours

/ænd/ /ðæt/ /ˈkʌpəl/ /ˈaʊərz/

that I cannot, as a gentleman, divulge to you.

/ðæt/ /juː/

We did it right here, and here and here.

/wiː/ /dɪd/ /ɪt/ /raɪt/ /hɪr/ /ænd/ /hɪr/ /ænd/ /hɪr/

But why would you use Ted's name?

/bʌt/ /waɪ/ /wʊd/ /juː/ /juːz/ /neɪm/

I've had some recent bad press on the World Wide Web.

/hæd/ /sʌm/ /ˈriːsənt/ /bæd/ /prɛs/ /ɒn/ /wɜːrld/ /waɪd/ /wɛb/

So I'm taking a T.O. on the whole "using my real name" thing.

/ɒn/ /hoʊl/ /maɪ/ /riːl/ /neɪm/ /θɪŋ/

Oh, this is great. It wasn't Ted. Everything's okay.

/ɪz/ /ɡreɪt/ /ɪt/

Everything isn't okay.

/ˈɛv.ri.θɪŋ/

Look at me. I'm acting crazy and jealous and paranoid.

/lʊk/ /miː/ /ˈæktɪŋ/ /ˈkreɪzi/ /ænd/ /ˈdʒɛləs/ /ænd/

This is how people act in relationships.

/ɪz/ /haʊ/ /ˈpiː.pəl/ /ækt/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪps/

And that's why I avoid relationships.

/ænd/ /waɪ/ /əˈvɔɪd/ /rɪˈleɪʃənʃɪps/

Well, guess what,

/wɛl/ /ɡɛs/ /wɒt/

I haven't been crazy or jealous or paranoid in months,

/ˈkreɪzi/ /ˈdʒɛləs/

and I really miss it.

/ænd/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /mɪs/ /ɪt/

And thus ended this chapter of, "Let's pour our hearts out

/ænd/ /aʊər/ /aʊt/

in the bedroom of Barney's one-night stand."

/ˈbɛdruːm/ /stænd/

Come on, let's go before she gets out of the shower.

/kʌm/ /ɒn/ /ɡoʊ/ /bɪˈfɔːr/ /ʃiː/ /ɡɛts/ /aʊt/ /ˈʃaʊər/

You're such a pig. You're not even going to say good-bye?

/sʌtʃ/ /pɪɡ/ /ˈiːvən/ /ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/ /seɪ/

I'll have you know I composed a lovely form letter

/hæv/ /juː/ /noʊ/ /ˈlʌvli/ /fɔːrm/ /ˈlɛt.ər/

for use in just such an occasion.

/fɔːr/ /juːz/ /dʒʌst/ /sʌtʃ/

Just fill out her name and then...

/dʒʌst/ /fɪl/ /aʊt/ /hɜːr/ /neɪm/ /ænd/ /ðɛn/

Something with a "A."

/ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/ /wɪð/

A... A... A... A...

I'll just put "resident."

/dʒʌst/ /pʊt/

Go, go, go, go.

/ɡoʊ/ /ɡoʊ/ /ɡoʊ/ /ɡoʊ/

Robin took a long walk that night.

/tʊk/ /lɔːŋ/ /wɔːk/ /ðæt/ /naɪt/

She thought about how opening yourself up to another person

/ʃiː/ /θɔːt/ /əˈbaʊt/ /haʊ/ /jɔːrˈsɛlf/ /ʌp/ /əˈnʌðər/ /ˈpɜːrsən/

usually means opening yourself up to going a little crazy.

/ˈjuː.ʒu.ə.li/ /jɔːrˈsɛlf/ /ʌp/ /ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /ˈkreɪzi/

She thought about how much easier it was just to be alone.

/ʃiː/ /θɔːt/ /əˈbaʊt/ /haʊ/ /mʌtʃ/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /dʒʌst/ /biː/ /əˈloʊn/

And then she came to see me.

/ænd/ /ðɛn/ /ʃiː/ /siː/ /miː/

# And I am nothing of a builder #

/ænd/ /ˈnʌθ.ɪŋ/

# But here I dreamt I was an architect... # Hey. Hey.

/bʌt/ /hɪr/ /wɒz/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Hey. Hey.

/wɒt/ /juː/ /hɪr/

And I don't want to brag, but they're filled with jelly.

So, uh... how was your night?

It was... fine. Nothing exciting.

/ɪt/ /wɒz/ /faɪn/ /ˈnʌθ.ɪŋ/ /ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ/

How was yours?

/haʊ/ /wɒz/ /jɔːrz/

You really want to hear about boring architect stuff?

Yes, I do.

I'm sorry about earlier.

/tɛl/ /juː/ /truːθ/ /ˈnɛv.ər/ /ˈiːvən/ /sɔː/ /ɔːl/ /fiːld/ /driːmz/

I fell asleep half way through.

/əˈsliːp/ /hæf/ /weɪ/ /θruː/

What? The best part's the last 20 minutes.

/wɒt/ /bɛst/ /læst/

Well, maybe they should have moved that part up a little bit earlier, 'cause...

/wɛl/ /ˈmeɪbi/ /ðeɪ/ /ʃʊd/ /hæv/ /ðæt/ /pɑːrt/ /ʌp/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /ˈɜːrliər/ /kɔːz/

You know what, um...

What I'm trying to say is...

/wɒt/ /seɪ/ /ɪz/

I love being the person you bitch to.

/lʌv/ /ˈpɜːrsən/ /juː/

So how was your day, Mr. Architect?

/haʊ/ /wɒz/ /jʊr/ /deɪ/ /ˈɑːrkɪtekt/

Oh, I like the way you say that.

/laɪk/ /weɪ/ /juː/ /seɪ/ /ðæt/

Hey, you want to see the building

that will make every man in Spokane feel inadequate?

/ðæt/ /wɪl/ /meɪk/ /ˈɛv.ri/ /mæn/ /fiːl/

Obviously.

- Wow. - Yeah. -Wow. -Yeah.

You know, you didn't mention all the foliage around the base.

If you trim that back, the rest would look bigger.

You don't have to tell me.

/juː/ /hæv/ /tɛl/ /miː/

And, um... just for fun, I've...

/ænd/ /dʒʌst/ /fɔːr/ /fʌn/

I've sort of been working on my own idea of what I think the building should be.

/juː/ /noʊ/ /ðæt/ /taɪm/ /wiː/ /wɛnt/ /ænd/ /aʊt/ /ðæt/ /ˈskaɪˌskreɪpər/

That was the first building I ever designed.

Wow. Wow.

Thanks.

It's not like it will ever come to anything.

I don't know.

It might come to something.
