Ted... I'm so sorry again about everything.
For what it's worth...
I'll talk to Tony.
Really?
I want you to be happy, Stella.
I'll talk to him.
And I did.
I don't remember what I said to him, but...
I guess I changed his mind,
because the next day...
they flew to California.
Stella set up a new dermatology practice.
And against all odds, Tony found some success as a screenwriter.
His movie, the wedding bride, was a big hit.
but we'll get to that later.
Okay, but just tell me this: Why Tony?
I mean, is it the money? The Kung Fu pajama?
Like why? Why is it?
He's... the one.
The one...
Yeah, I know it's kinda sappy, but...
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna say something out loud
that I'm doing a pretty good job of not saying out loud lately.
What you and Tony have...
what I thought for a second you and I had...
what I know that Marshall and Lily have...
I want that.
I do.
I keep waiting for it to happen, and waiting for it to happen, and...
I guess I'm just, um...
I'm tired of waiting.
And that is all I'm going to say on that subject.
You know I once talked my way out of a speeding ticket?
Really?
I was heading upstate to my parents' house
doing, like, 90 on this country road,
and I got pulled over.
So this cop gets out of his car.
He kind of swaggers on over and he was like
'Young lady, I have been waiting for you all day.'
So I looked up and I said,
'I'm so sorry, officer. I got here as fast as I could.'
For real?
No, it's an old joke.
I know that you're tired of waiting,
and you may have to wait a little while more, but...
she's on her way, Ted.
And she's getting here as fast as she can.
Bye Stella.
Goodbye Ted.
