<i>Kids, in the spring of 2008,</i>

2
00:00:03,467 --> 00:00:06,097
<i>something kinda strange had been
happening to your Uncle Barney.</i>

3
00:00:06,506 --> 00:00:08,004
<i>He'd be doing
great with a woman...</i>

4
00:00:08,104 --> 00:00:10,521
So I throw the pressurized
oxygen tank in his mouth,

5
00:00:10,621 --> 00:00:13,082
I shoot the tank, boom!
No more shark.

6
00:00:13,182 --> 00:00:15,469
Mr. Holland and I
swim back to shore.

7
00:00:15,952 --> 00:00:17,234
Let me freshen your drink.

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,256
<i>He'd only be gone a few moments,
but when he returned...</i>

9
00:00:21,356 --> 00:00:22,728
So where were we?

10
00:00:22,996 --> 00:00:24,071
<i>... he'd get slapped.</i>

11
00:00:24,663 --> 00:00:25,964
<i>It kept happening.</i>

12
00:00:29,091 --> 00:00:31,996
<i>Until finally, Lily was approached
by a mysterious woman</i>

13
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,417
<i>who warned her
to stay away from Barney.</i>

14
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:36,972
<i>So when it happened once more...</i>

15
00:00:37,379 --> 00:00:40,542
Again?!
Really?! Wait...

16
00:00:40,749 --> 00:00:42,712
<i>... Barney knew who to look for.</i>

17
00:01:02,788 --> 00:01:03,842
Hey, excuse me.

18
00:01:03,949 --> 00:01:05,882
Did I sleep with you and
then totally screw you over?

19
00:01:06,197 --> 00:01:07,361
No.

20
00:01:09,499 --> 00:01:11,204
What are you doing on Friday?

21
00:01:20,227 --> 00:01:20,961
Amy?

22
00:01:21,427 --> 00:01:22,234
Abby.

23
00:01:24,059 --> 00:01:25,921
Right.

<i>How I Met Your Mother
3x19- Everything Must Go</i>

27
00:01:37,318 --> 00:01:39,831
<i>for the "Have You Met Team"
for www. forom. com</i>

28
00:01:41,347 --> 00:01:45,264
<i>Kids, sometimes you can do something
right a thousand times in a row...</i>

29
00:01:45,366 --> 00:01:48,514
A rainbow!
That's beautiful!

30
00:01:49,699 --> 00:01:52,461
What a beautiful rainbow!

31
00:01:53,309 --> 00:01:57,593
Another rainbow?
It's beautiful!

32
00:01:57,816 --> 00:02:00,214
<i>But then, that
thousand-and-first time...</i>

33
00:02:00,797 --> 00:02:04,254
You're kidding me. Seriously,
aren't you sick of these things?

34
00:02:08,248 --> 00:02:09,783
Hey, how was yo day?

35
00:02:09,888 --> 00:02:12,563
Today, I yelled at a little girl
for painting a rainbow.

36
00:02:12,786 --> 00:02:16,224
A rainbow? Sounds like
that bitch had it coming.

37
00:02:19,229 --> 00:02:22,704
So, uh, I just met with the contractor.

38
00:02:22,806 --> 00:02:25,173
And it turns out, that fixing
the floors of the new apartment

39
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,113
is going to cost a lot more
than the estimate.

40
00:02:27,219 --> 00:02:30,122
But we can barely
afford that to begin with.

41
00:02:30,328 --> 00:02:31,964
I hate to say this,

44
00:02:38,827 --> 00:02:41,753
I mean your clothes. All those
designer pieces and everything.

45
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:44,254
What?
Why just my clothes?

46
00:02:44,358 --> 00:02:46,502
We can sell my stuff, too,
but I got to tell you,

47
00:02:46,608 --> 00:02:49,733
I think your Marc Jacobs cocktail dress
is going to go for a lot more than my

48
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:51,882
- "Split Happens" bowling shirt.
- Dude.

49
00:02:51,986 --> 00:02:53,534
I'm not selling that.

50
00:02:55,447 --> 00:02:58,464
- I've already made the Website.
- You made a Website?

51
00:02:58,567 --> 00:03:03,941
Yeah, it's called "Lily-and-Marshall
-sell-their-stuff-dot-com. "

52
00:03:05,029 --> 00:03:07,982
No, you know what would be
a better name for the site?

53
00:03:08,086 --> 00:03:10,890
Guy-forces-his-wife-to-dress-

54
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:15,412
in-a-garbage-bag-for-the-
next-three-years-dot-com.

55
00:03:16,936 --> 00:03:18,291
That's real.

56
00:03:18,826 --> 00:03:22,672
Now I'm worried. That woman is actually
wearing a garbage bag.

57
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:26,673
Hmm, but, girlfriend,
you cannot pull off a tall kitchen.

58
00:03:27,728 --> 00:03:30,031
Why are you trying
to ruin my life?

59
00:03:30,139 --> 00:03:32,344
Well, you slept with me and
then you never called me again.

60
00:03:33,437 --> 00:03:34,933
- And?
- That's it.

61
00:03:35,136 --> 00:03:36,151
That's it?

62
00:03:36,728 --> 00:03:38,593
As far as I'm concerned,
if I leave you safe on dry land

63
00:03:38,698 --> 00:03:41,272
with adequate transportation home,
you've got nothing to complain about.

64
00:03:41,578 --> 00:03:43,012
Well, it hurt, okay?

65
00:03:43,116 --> 00:03:46,344
And then Ted, the love of my life,
started dating my boss instead of me.

66
00:03:46,669 --> 00:03:48,032
Do you know how that feels?

67
00:03:48,139 --> 00:03:51,151
Oh, boo-hoo, poor little Ashley.

68
00:03:51,358 --> 00:03:53,284
- Abby!
- Abby.

69
00:03:53,689 --> 00:03:56,614
A few weeks ago, Ted
dumped me as his wingman.

70
00:03:57,097 --> 00:03:58,863
You had a crush on him
for a couple weeks?

71
00:03:58,967 --> 00:04:01,174
I was Ted's best friend
for seven years.

72
00:04:01,278 --> 00:04:04,122
- Ted said Marshall was his best friend.
- Seven years!

73
00:04:05,058 --> 00:04:05,793
Sorry.

74
00:04:06,458 --> 00:04:08,133
Ted.
What an idiot.

75
00:04:08,826 --> 00:04:12,924
With his stupid "meaningful
relationship" with Stella.

76
00:04:13,339 --> 00:04:15,174
- Ted.
- Ted.

77
00:04:15,449 --> 00:04:17,814
- I hate Ted.
- I hate Ted more.

78
00:04:17,916 --> 00:04:21,292
- Are you as turned on as I am?
- Probably not quite as much.

79
00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:25,801
I'm sorry I yelled out "Ted. "

80
00:04:25,906 --> 00:04:27,992
I'm sorry I yelled out "Abby. "

81
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,452
I am Abby.

82
00:04:31,337 --> 00:04:32,322
Oh, cool.

83
00:04:33,646 --> 00:04:34,782
This is insane.

84
00:04:34,987 --> 00:04:36,742
Has Lily even worn
half this stuff?

85
00:04:36,948 --> 00:04:39,663
Oh, yeah, like there's nothing in your
closet you've never worn?

86
00:04:39,936 --> 00:04:41,853
As a matter of fact,
no, there isn't.

87
00:04:41,958 --> 00:04:44,084
Whatever, red cowboy boots.

88
00:04:44,289 --> 00:04:46,962
Those are nice boots.
I totally pull those off.

89
00:04:49,118 --> 00:04:51,492
If I were to say
"Ted could never pull them off, "

90
00:04:51,599 --> 00:04:53,641
- what would I be talking about?
- His red cowboy boots.

91
00:04:53,748 --> 00:04:57,264
I totally pull them off!
It's a classic Western look.

92
00:04:57,768 --> 00:04:59,984
Oh, okay, uh, today's category:

93
00:05:00,367 --> 00:05:03,601
classic Westerns that involve
red cowboy boots.

94
00:05:04,557 --> 00:05:05,343
Robin.

95
00:05:05,547 --> 00:05:07,521
"The Good, the Bad,
and the Fabulous. "

96
00:05:09,646 --> 00:05:11,153

97
00:05:12,438 --> 00:05:14,601
"No Country for Straight Men. "

98
00:05:16,579 --> 00:05:18,743
I don't want to sell my clothes!

99
00:05:18,949 --> 00:05:20,774
I know, sweetie.
Come here.

100
00:05:22,886 --> 00:05:24,164
Is this a hundred percent silk?

101
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:27,642
Lily, listen,
we really need the money.

102
00:05:27,747 --> 00:05:30,514
I have some leads on a job,
but until then, I just...

103
00:05:30,928 --> 00:05:32,134
I don't know what else
we can do.

104
00:05:33,868 --> 00:05:35,554
I'll sell my paintings!

105
00:05:36,377 --> 00:05:36,962
What?

106
00:05:37,166 --> 00:05:38,971
Yeah, I'll sell my paintings.

107
00:05:39,008 --> 00:05:41,603
Good oil paintings go for like, $500.

108
00:05:42,207 --> 00:05:44,104
Yeah.
Totally.

109
00:05:44,558 --> 00:05:45,252
But...

110
00:05:45,358 --> 00:05:48,732
<i>Kids, sometimes you can do something
right a thousand times in a row...</i>

111
00:05:49,186 --> 00:05:50,104
I love it.

112
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:51,931
It's a masterpiece.

113
00:05:54,099 --> 00:05:55,771
That's it.
We're selling the TV.

114
00:05:55,979 --> 00:05:58,244
I just want to come home
and stare at this all day.

115
00:06:00,016 --> 00:06:01,491
Somebody call the cops!

116
00:06:01,696 --> 00:06:04,611
My wife stole an awesome painting
from the museum!

117
00:06:07,388 --> 00:06:09,704
<i>But then, that
thousand-and-first time...</i>

118
00:06:09,806 --> 00:06:12,262
... that kind of money
only goes for real paintings.

119
00:06:14,598 --> 00:06:15,881
What does that mean?

120
00:06:16,957 --> 00:06:21,321
Look, it just means that we need money
right now and I'm not sure that

121
00:06:21,428 --> 00:06:23,682
selling your paintings
is how we're going to get it.

122
00:06:24,216 --> 00:06:25,832
You don't believe in me.

123
00:06:27,206 --> 00:06:29,353
No, wait, wait!
Of c...

124
00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:30,932
of course I believe in you!

125
00:06:31,139 --> 00:06:33,704
Marshall, I am proud
of my work as an artist.

126
00:06:33,809 --> 00:06:37,023
My paintings are good.
I bet Robin would buy one.

127
00:06:37,309 --> 00:06:38,231
What now?

128
00:06:39,677 --> 00:06:43,071
I love your painting, I just...
I'm trying to be realistic.

129
00:06:44,136 --> 00:06:47,164
Well, how much money do we need
for the contractor to finish the job?

130
00:06:47,367 --> 00:06:48,711
About 1, 500 bucks.

131
00:06:49,818 --> 00:06:54,222
So, if I can sell three of my paintings
at 500 bucks a pop, then

132
00:06:54,327 --> 00:06:56,142
I get to keep all my clothes.

133
00:06:56,998 --> 00:07:00,022
- We need money fast.
- Well, give me a week.

134
00:07:01,746 --> 00:07:03,222
Okay, a week.

135
00:07:03,499 --> 00:07:04,594
- Fine.
- Fine.

136
00:07:04,918 --> 00:07:06,054
Fine.

137
00:07:18,098 --> 00:07:21,414
Pulling. Them. Off.

138
00:07:27,476 --> 00:07:30,380
<i>Lily's first move in the great
art challenge of 2008</i>

139
00:07:30,484 --> 00:07:33,712
<i>was to display one of her favorite
paintings at her friend's gallery.</i>

140
00:07:33,817 --> 00:07:35,452
<i>The night didn't go so well.</i>

141
00:07:41,506 --> 00:07:43,482
<i>But then at the last minute...</i>

142
00:07:43,586 --> 00:07:45,621
- I love it.
- You do?

143
00:07:45,907 --> 00:07:48,770
Your top. It's gorgeous.
Is that 100% silk?

144
00:07:48,877 --> 00:07:51,869
It's not for sale!
My clothes are not for sale!

145
00:07:52,081 --> 00:07:54,722
<i>So the next day, Lily took
her painting to a coffee house</i>

146
00:07:54,819 --> 00:07:56,504
<i>that displayed local artists.</i>

147
00:07:56,758 --> 00:08:00,595
We've been sitting here for hours and
nobody's even glanced at my painting.

148
00:08:01,098 --> 00:08:02,930
Come on.
Let's start talking it up.

149
00:08:04,946 --> 00:08:07,101
I really like that painting!

150
00:08:07,307 --> 00:08:08,881
It's neat!

151
00:08:08,986 --> 00:08:11,082
The-the colors are neat.

152
00:08:11,187 --> 00:08:12,860
The-the shapes are neat.

153
00:08:13,164 --> 00:08:15,999
It's really just...
neat.

154
00:08:18,174 --> 00:08:18,870
What?

155
00:08:20,217 --> 00:08:21,242
Observe.

156
00:08:22,337 --> 00:08:25,560
I think there's a dynamic quality
to the brushwork that,

157
00:08:25,667 --> 00:08:27,421
combined with the fluid composition,

158
00:08:27,527 --> 00:08:30,462
creates an almost
Kandinsky-like emotional resonance.

159
00:08:31,817 --> 00:08:36,462
Yes, and you can still enjoy it
even if you're not a pretentious douche.

160
00:08:38,257 --> 00:08:40,172
Can you clarify something
for me about your critique?

161
00:08:40,277 --> 00:08:43,552
Are the colors "neat" or
are they more "neato burrito?"

162
00:08:45,585 --> 00:08:47,560
Uh, then again,
red cowboy boots.

163
00:08:47,666 --> 00:08:52,232
I pull these off!
I pull these off!

164
00:08:52,837 --> 00:08:54,792
You know what
I hate most about Ted?

165
00:08:54,894 --> 00:08:55,732
What?

166
00:08:56,065 --> 00:08:57,922
His stupid hair.

167
00:08:58,166 --> 00:09:00,782
His stupid, lame awesome hair.

168
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:03,452
It's so stupid and awesome.

169
00:09:05,726 --> 00:09:06,990
You know what
I hate most about Ted?

170
00:09:07,024 --> 00:09:07,751
What?

171
00:09:07,834 --> 00:09:11,820
How he's always like, "Oh, I want to
fall in love and have a relationship.

172
00:09:11,926 --> 00:09:15,379
I care about the people I have
sex with. " He's so lame.

173
00:09:15,587 --> 00:09:17,209
He's so lame and awesome.

174
00:09:20,025 --> 00:09:21,291
You know what he needs?

175
00:09:21,396 --> 00:09:24,721
He needs to see just how horrible
he is when he's in a relationship.

176
00:09:25,024 --> 00:09:28,509
Yeah, and I need to show Ted
that I'm over him.

177
00:09:29,224 --> 00:09:30,681
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

178
00:09:31,635 --> 00:09:32,811
I think so.

179
00:09:33,054 --> 00:09:35,191
You're thinking
of having sex with Ted?

180
00:09:37,735 --> 00:09:41,801
<i>After four days without selling a single
painting, Lily was getting desperate.</i>

181
00:09:41,905 --> 00:09:45,011
Painting for sale!
$500!

182
00:09:45,114 --> 00:09:47,991
Lifelong dream
hanging in the balance!

183
00:09:49,864 --> 00:09:52,010
It's like they don't even see us.

184
00:09:52,117 --> 00:09:53,961
Yeah, we're dirt to them.

185
00:09:54,447 --> 00:09:56,129
What do you need money for?

186
00:09:56,237 --> 00:09:59,272
Oh, I'm trying to fix the hardwood
floors in my new apartment.

187
00:09:59,374 --> 00:10:00,251
You?

188
00:10:00,685 --> 00:10:01,802
Heroin.

189
00:10:05,407 --> 00:10:07,761
- Do you like heroin?
- Love it.

190
00:10:07,867 --> 00:10:10,930
If you sell that, I'm going to take
your money and go buy some more heroin.

191
00:10:12,956 --> 00:10:15,542
Thanks for your honesty,
Crazy Sock Guy.

192
00:10:17,485 --> 00:10:20,321
- Oh, I'm never gonna sell this...
- It's not very good.

193
00:10:22,166 --> 00:10:24,741
<i>And just as she was about
to lose all hope,</i>

194
00:10:24,845 --> 00:10:26,629
<i>something amazing happened.</i>

195
00:10:27,746 --> 00:10:28,992
Oh, my God!

196
00:10:30,207 --> 00:10:33,310
500 bucks! Who's a real
painter now, Marshall?

197
00:10:33,415 --> 00:10:35,500
Honey, I never said
you weren't a real painter.

198
00:10:35,705 --> 00:10:37,229
I know, sweetie.

199
00:10:37,334 --> 00:10:40,349
And since I'm a
professional artist now,

200
00:10:40,457 --> 00:10:42,991
I'm going to sketch you
an Aldrin original,

201
00:10:43,097 --> 00:10:46,492
you know, to say thanks for being
such a supportive husband.

202
00:10:46,595 --> 00:10:48,480
I'm thinking about calling it...

203
00:10:48,586 --> 00:10:49,802
"Suck It!"

204
00:10:50,325 --> 00:10:53,722
Lily, come on. I'm proud of you.
Who-who bought it?

205
00:10:54,116 --> 00:10:57,181
Well, that's the best part.
A gay couple without kids.

206
00:10:57,287 --> 00:10:58,982
A G-CWOK!

207
00:10:59,245 --> 00:11:02,021
- You bagged a G-CWOK?!
- Yeah, that's right.

208
00:11:02,125 --> 00:11:04,872
They are the heart and soul
of the art-buying community.

209
00:11:04,975 --> 00:11:07,381
You know what you should do?
You should call up the G-CWOKs

210
00:11:07,576 --> 00:11:09,779
and offer them a free painting
if they throw a private art party

211
00:11:09,886 --> 00:11:11,500
for all their G-CWOK friends.

212
00:11:11,606 --> 00:11:14,570
That's an amazing idea.
I'm going to go call them.

213
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,882
I can probably sell two more
paintings with time to spare.

214
00:11:18,316 --> 00:11:22,019
Oh, wait, Marshall. There was something
I had to tell you. What was it?

215
00:11:22,127 --> 00:11:23,520
Oh, that's right.

216
00:11:23,656 --> 00:11:24,670
Suck it.

217
00:11:32,186 --> 00:11:33,232
Hey.

218
00:11:33,616 --> 00:11:36,232
Ted, fancy bumping
into you here.

219
00:11:36,496 --> 00:11:38,642
Have you guys met
my girlfriend Abby?

220
00:11:39,215 --> 00:11:42,321
- Uh, yeah. Hi, Abby. So...
- Hello, Abby.

221
00:11:42,814 --> 00:11:44,292
So you guys are dating now?

222
00:11:44,486 --> 00:11:45,361
That's right.

223
00:11:45,814 --> 00:11:48,100
I am done with this
whole being awesome thing.

224
00:11:48,344 --> 00:11:50,581
Now I'm all about
farmers' markets and

225
00:11:50,684 --> 00:11:53,910
day hikes in matching khaki cargo
shorts. Isn't that right, sweetie?

226
00:11:54,116 --> 00:11:56,941
That's right.
And girlfriends are lame.

227
00:11:57,045 --> 00:11:59,422
Unless they're me.
I miss you, Ted.

228
00:12:00,664 --> 00:12:02,669
Abby and I are in love.

229
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:04,989
Not hot passionate love.

230
00:12:05,096 --> 00:12:06,401
Couple love.

231
00:12:06,504 --> 00:12:08,880
You know, movie night
with my girlfriend,

232
00:12:08,986 --> 00:12:10,651
then waiting for her
to go to bed

233
00:12:10,757 --> 00:12:13,600
so I can steal one pitiful moment
of hollow ecstasy

234
00:12:13,704 --> 00:12:16,099
by the cold, blue light
of my computer monitor.

235
00:12:17,345 --> 00:12:19,570
We're showing Ted
how lame he is.

236
00:12:19,805 --> 00:12:21,779
You don't have to say it, though.

237
00:12:22,307 --> 00:12:24,939
Uh, okay, Barney,
you can stop.

238
00:12:25,147 --> 00:12:27,291
Stop what, Ted?
Stop being in love?

239
00:12:27,394 --> 00:12:29,569
Next he'll ask us to stop breathing.

240
00:12:30,515 --> 00:12:32,342
We can't stop breathing, Ted.

241
00:12:32,447 --> 00:12:34,120
Your hair looks amazing.

242
00:12:35,866 --> 00:12:38,702
Barney, I, I see what you're doing.
Please stop.

243
00:12:38,905 --> 00:12:42,920
Not before I share with you what
being in a relationship leads to, Ted.

244
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:46,052
Abby, Pookie Bear...

245
00:12:46,687 --> 00:12:50,670
I am so pathetically
desperate for you, that...

246
00:12:51,057 --> 00:12:53,062
aw, heck, I'll just say it.

247
00:12:56,186 --> 00:12:59,312
- Will you marry me?
- Wait, really?

248
00:12:59,847 --> 00:13:02,519
I would never joke about true love.

249
00:13:03,624 --> 00:13:06,131
- Yes, I'll marry you.
- Okay.

250
00:13:07,827 --> 00:13:09,861
Thank you, thank you.

251
00:13:10,285 --> 00:13:12,280
I have to call my mom.

252
00:13:13,536 --> 00:13:14,739
That's you.

253
00:13:16,236 --> 00:13:18,419
Uh, yeah, I don't think
Abby knows you're kidding.

254
00:13:18,527 --> 00:13:20,080
Uh, yes, she does.

255
00:13:20,357 --> 00:13:22,269
It finally happened, Mama.

256
00:13:22,455 --> 00:13:25,079
I just wish Daddy were alive
to walk me down the aisle.

257
00:13:26,796 --> 00:13:28,460
Totally committed to the bit.

258
00:13:29,685 --> 00:13:32,722
Yes, Lily Aldrin.
I sold you the painting earlier today.

259
00:13:32,926 --> 00:13:34,401
Oh, honey, hello.

260
00:13:34,505 --> 00:13:35,720
You sound happy.

261
00:13:35,924 --> 00:13:38,059
Are you kidding? We're popping
the champagne right now.

262
00:13:38,925 --> 00:13:42,229
Well, I just wanted to offer you
an exclusive chance

263
00:13:42,335 --> 00:13:44,309
to view some of my other paintings.

264
00:13:44,514 --> 00:13:48,569
Oh, honey, oh, sweetie, oh,
I guess I should have told you.

265
00:13:48,764 --> 00:13:50,480
We just bought that for the frame.

266
00:13:51,377 --> 00:13:52,082
What?

267
00:13:52,186 --> 00:13:53,969
Yeah, it's an original
Anton Kreutzer,

268
00:13:54,077 --> 00:13:55,992
a very rare frame
from the turn of the century.

269
00:13:56,607 --> 00:13:59,620
So... you didn't like my painting?

270
00:13:59,824 --> 00:14:02,832
Oh, honey, oh, sweetie,
no, not at all.

271
00:14:03,506 --> 00:14:05,802
But you know,
good for you.

272
00:14:09,444 --> 00:14:12,649
Well, if you didn't want
the painting, can I...

273
00:14:13,005 --> 00:14:14,979
can I at least get it back?

274
00:14:15,265 --> 00:14:17,640
Yeah, no,
we don't have it anymore.

275
00:14:18,267 --> 00:14:19,182
Where is it?

276
00:14:21,516 --> 00:14:22,459
I see.

277
00:14:24,177 --> 00:14:25,731
H-He threw out my painting.

278
00:14:27,397 --> 00:14:29,651
Champagne for everyone,
on me,

279
00:14:29,917 --> 00:14:32,282
the happiest guy in the world.

280
00:14:34,925 --> 00:14:36,562
Ginger ale.
It's a bit.

281
00:14:40,984 --> 00:14:42,326
This is great.

282
00:14:42,434 --> 00:14:44,466
My dream of becoming
an artist is dead,

283
00:14:44,572 --> 00:14:48,466
and now I'm watching my wardrobe
disappear piece by piece.

284
00:14:49,284 --> 00:14:50,989
There goes my favorite dress.

285
00:14:52,211 --> 00:14:53,628
This dress meant a lot to me.

286
00:14:53,992 --> 00:14:55,828
- Really?
- Yeah.

287
00:14:56,052 --> 00:15:00,346
It was spring of 2004 and
I had been having a hard few months.

288
00:15:02,613 --> 00:15:04,419
Day-am.

289
00:15:05,611 --> 00:15:08,159
I got a two-syllable "damn"
in this dress.

290
00:15:08,531 --> 00:15:10,486
A two-syllable "damn. "

291
00:15:11,054 --> 00:15:12,777
- That's the dream.
- Yeah.

292
00:15:13,181 --> 00:15:19,156
Now she belongs to...
CanadaGirl@MetroNewsOne. com.

293
00:15:19,481 --> 00:15:20,908
It's still in the family.

294
00:15:22,583 --> 00:15:24,668
Lily, you're not going to believe this.

295
00:15:24,992 --> 00:15:26,588
- Something amazing happened.
- What?

296
00:15:27,142 --> 00:15:28,846
I went to the G-CWOK's apartment.

297
00:15:29,013 --> 00:15:30,178
Really? Why?

298
00:15:30,281 --> 00:15:31,839
Because I felt guilty.

299
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,939
This auction was my idea and now
you've had to sit around all day

300
00:15:35,042 --> 00:15:39,307
while a bunch of vultures ruthlessly
ick apart the carcass of your wardrobe.

301
00:15:41,652 --> 00:15:43,416
It's still in the family.

302
00:15:43,811 --> 00:15:45,156
And more importantly,

303
00:15:45,261 --> 00:15:47,208
I honestly love that painting and

304
00:15:47,311 --> 00:15:49,937
I couldn't stand to think of it
in a trashcan someplace.

305
00:15:50,381 --> 00:15:51,659
Well, what happened?

306
00:15:53,184 --> 00:15:54,419
Well, hello.

307
00:15:54,523 --> 00:15:58,766
Hi, um... Lawrence. I'm here about
the painting my wife Lily sold you...

308
00:15:59,071 --> 00:16:00,728
the one in the nice frame.

309
00:16:01,072 --> 00:16:04,818
Talk about a nice frame.
My, my, you are a big one, aren't you?

310
00:16:04,922 --> 00:16:07,668
And you're married to that little bit
of a thing. How does that work?

311
00:16:08,364 --> 00:16:09,658
I'd like to find out.

312
00:16:10,553 --> 00:16:12,349
Yeah, we get it.
Gay guys like you.

313
00:16:12,914 --> 00:16:14,347
No, Lily,

314
00:16:14,704 --> 00:16:17,069
they love me,
but that's not the important part.

315
00:16:17,284 --> 00:16:18,839
Here's the important part.

316
00:16:19,221 --> 00:16:22,048
Since you're clearly a man
of impeccable taste and style,

317
00:16:22,152 --> 00:16:23,987
I came down here to ask you:

318
00:16:25,331 --> 00:16:27,178
what do you think of the boots?

319
00:16:32,732 --> 00:16:33,489
Boots.

320
00:16:38,824 --> 00:16:41,826
Pulling. Them. Off.

321
00:16:45,782 --> 00:16:47,069
I'll be in the cab.

322
00:16:51,691 --> 00:16:53,048
G-CWOK-approved.

323
00:16:53,252 --> 00:16:54,379
The painting.

324
00:16:54,813 --> 00:16:57,886
Right, so, um, they told me they
threw it in the building's Dumpster.

325
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:02,158
<i>It wasn't in there, but the super
told me that he'd seen one Dr. Greer,</i>

326
00:17:02,264 --> 00:17:03,686
<i>a veterinarian who
works in the building,</i>

327
00:17:03,794 --> 00:17:05,348
<i>take the painting out of the trash.</i>

328
00:17:05,672 --> 00:17:09,696
Dr. Greer? Who's Dr. Greer and
why did he take my painting?

329
00:17:10,342 --> 00:17:11,837
You're about to find out.

330
00:17:13,894 --> 00:17:15,766
Long story short,
I had to make a trash run.

331
00:17:15,874 --> 00:17:17,568
Been a busy day...
lots of neuterings.

332
00:17:17,671 --> 00:17:18,857
Ooh, we don't need the details.

333
00:17:18,963 --> 00:17:20,666
Oh, no no no,
it's not what you think.

334
00:17:21,101 --> 00:17:23,478
Yeah, yeah, yeah, mostly
just dog testicles. Anyway...

335
00:17:24,703 --> 00:17:26,297
<i>I noticed your painting</i>

336
00:17:26,403 --> 00:17:30,707
<i>just sitting right there on top
and I thought, "Hey, free painting, "</i>

337
00:17:31,562 --> 00:17:35,139
<i>so I brought it upstairs and
hung it up in Exam Room 3,</i>

338
00:17:35,244 --> 00:17:37,649
<i>and then the strangest
thing happened.</i>

339
00:17:40,032 --> 00:17:41,716
Hey, Muffin.

340
00:17:43,182 --> 00:17:46,018
Whoa, I think he remembers me
from the last time he was here.

341
00:17:47,893 --> 00:17:50,717
Take Muffin to Exam Room 3.
I'll meet you there.

342
00:17:52,104 --> 00:17:54,227
<i>I went in, expecting the worst.</i>

343
00:17:56,801 --> 00:17:59,836
<i>I'd never seen Muffin that calm,</i>

344
00:18:00,202 --> 00:18:04,187
<i>and then a little later the same thing
happened again with Tidbit...</i>

345
00:18:04,751 --> 00:18:06,458
<i>and King Larry...</i>

346
00:18:07,724 --> 00:18:10,697
<i>and again
with the Weinstein triplets.</i>

347
00:18:13,423 --> 00:18:14,958
Something about your art

348
00:18:15,063 --> 00:18:18,287
speaks to the canine sensibility
on a very primal level.

349
00:18:18,521 --> 00:18:21,587
- Really? Dogs like my paintings?
- Yeah.

350
00:18:21,793 --> 00:18:24,388
But you know who it bums out?
Birds.

351
00:18:25,691 --> 00:18:28,139
Had a parrot in there today.
He took one look at it,

352
00:18:28,244 --> 00:18:31,348
pried open his cage,
flew right into the ceiling fan.

353
00:18:35,473 --> 00:18:37,606
Anyway, because your first
painting worked so well,

354
00:18:37,713 --> 00:18:39,777
I convinced Dr. Greer
to buy four more.

355
00:18:39,983 --> 00:18:42,548
- Really?
- At $500 apiece.

356
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:45,607
That's two grand. That's more
than we need for the contractor.

357
00:18:45,821 --> 00:18:48,199
Yeah, but I was actually
thinking we could reinvest it.

358
00:18:48,301 --> 00:18:49,957
- In what?
- In you.

359
00:18:54,312 --> 00:18:56,848
<i>Marshall explained that
he was building a fancy new Web site</i>

360
00:18:56,951 --> 00:19:00,626
<i>specifically to sell
Lily's artwork to veterinarians.</i>

361
00:19:02,391 --> 00:19:05,638
Well, it's not exactly
the clientele I had in mind, but...

362
00:19:06,533 --> 00:19:08,769
thank you for believing in me.

363
00:19:14,291 --> 00:19:17,509
Man,
birds do not get you.

364
00:19:29,912 --> 00:19:30,919
Hi, sweetie.

365
00:19:31,024 --> 00:19:32,778
Hey, I think I left my tie here.
Have you seen it?

366
00:19:33,033 --> 00:19:35,570
No, I'm in wedding-planning mode.

367
00:19:35,824 --> 00:19:38,347
Stressville. Population: me.
Okay, big decision.

368
00:19:38,552 --> 00:19:41,848
What do you think the cake should be:
Fudgie the Whale or Cookie Puss?

369
00:19:42,643 --> 00:19:45,689
Yeah, that was a bit.
We were doing a bit.

370
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:49,040
So I'm thinking Labor Day.
I was going to say Fourth of July,

371
00:19:49,145 --> 00:19:52,609
but I don't want to steal
any attention away from America.

372
00:19:54,513 --> 00:19:56,948
Abby, I've...
I've got some bad news.

373
00:19:58,124 --> 00:19:59,989
- I can't marry you.
- What?

374
00:20:00,344 --> 00:20:04,478
Ted begged me not to.
I think he's in love with you.

375
00:20:04,585 --> 00:20:07,240
- Really?
- Yes, our plan worked,

376
00:20:07,345 --> 00:20:09,629
better than we ever dreamed.
You have to go to him.

377
00:20:11,692 --> 00:20:13,928
Here's his home address.
But you know what? He works late,

378
00:20:14,035 --> 00:20:16,300
so I wouldn't go before
2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.

379
00:20:16,672 --> 00:20:20,560
Oh, my God, thank you.
But now I feel wrong keeping this.

380
00:20:20,665 --> 00:20:23,977
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't worry about that.
That's made of candy.

381
00:20:24,553 --> 00:20:25,408
Later.
