The off switch

[Robin discovers why Ted threw three straight parties in as many nights]
Ted: Robin, look I didn’t invite you to this party to set you up with Carlos. Or the one before that. Or the one before that. [Robin smiles] I threw these parties because I wanted to see you.
Robin: Well, here I am.
Ted: There’s something here, look, unless I’m crazy.
Robin: You’re not crazy. I—I don’t know, Ted, I mean we barely know each other and you’re looking at me with that look and it’s like—
Ted: Like what?
Robin: Like—let’s fall in love, and get married and have kids and drive them to soccer practice.
Ted: I’m not gonna force sports on them unless they’re interested.
Robin[laughs] It’s a great look. But you’re looking at the wrong girl.
Ted: No, I’m not.
Robin: Yes, you are. I don’t wanna get married right now, maybe ever and if we got together I’d feel like I’d either have to marry you or break your heart and—I just couldn’t do either of those things. Just like you can’t turn off the way you feel.
Ted[reaches in jacket] Click. Off. Let’s make out.
Robin[laughs] What?
Ted: What? That was the off switch! And I turned it off. I mean sure yes, I wanna fall in love get married blah, blah, blah, but—on the other hand - you, me, the roof.
Robin: There’s no off switch.
Ted: There is an off switch… and it’s off.
Robin[smiling] no, it’s not.
Ted[silence] yes, it is. [draws closer to Ted]
Robin: No …it’s—not.
Ted: Yes—it is [long kiss with Robin] No it’s not. You’re right, there’s no off switch. God I wish there was an off switch!

Five years from now

Ted: Seriously, where do you see yourself in five years?
Robin: Where do you see yourself?
Ted: Honestly, in five years, I'd probably want to be married.
Robin: And I'd probably want to be in Argentina.
Ted: Argentina?
Robin: Or Tokyo, or Paris. Look Ted, I don't know where I'm gonna be in five years. I don't wanna know. I want my life to be an adventure.
Ted[pause, sadly] We have an expiration date, don't we?

The Final Page



[Robin has read the play entitled "The Robin" and sees Barney]
Robin: Seriously, Barney? Even you, even someone as CERTIFIABLY INSANE as you must realize that this is too far! You lied to me, manipulated me for weeks - do you really think I could ever kiss you after that? Do you really think I could ever trust you after that? [refers to Playbook page] This, this is proof of why we don't work, why we'll never work, so thank you. You've set me free because how could I be with a man who thinks that this trick, this enormous lie could ever make me want to date him again?
Barney: Turn it over. [Robin flips page to read Step 16: Hope she says yes. Barney presents ring] Robin Scherbatsky, will you marry me?
Robin: Yes.

El círculo

Acuéstate y duérmete para despertar sonriente y feliz. Despiértate, levántate para cansarte, y volver a dormir. El círculo da la vuelta, y al terminar, la vuelve a dar... Discúlpame, perdóname para que puedas, ofenderte otra vez; enójate, castígame para que puedas, quererme después
El círculo da la vuelta y al terminar, la vuelve a dar, yo te olvidé no me olvido más...
Entrégate y ríndete para que puedas escaparte después, libérate y suéltate para que puedas quererme otra vez.
El círculo da la vuelta y al terminar, la vuelve a dar.. te di todo y ya no doy mas...
Hoy te quiero, mañana también pasado no, el año que viene creo que siempre te querré...
