Ted: I don't know. 

Barney: Did you sleep with her sister? 

Ted: No. 

Barney: Did you sleep with her mom? 

Ted: No. 

Barney: I'm losing interest in your story. 

Lily: Well, you must have done something. Why did you guys break up?

Marshall: He wasn't ready for a commitment. 

Ted: And her birthday might have been coming up. Okay, so I didn't want to get a boyfriend-level gift for a girl I was just about to break up with. 

Lily:  So you dumped her right before her birthday?

Ted: No! I didn't dump her right before her birthday. 

Ted: Natalie! Hey, happy birthday! Listen... 

Lily: Never break up with a girl on her birthday! 

Ted: Lily, please! The shirt! I know! It was a mistake. 

Lily: Well, did she cry her eyes out? 

Ted: I don't know. 

Lily: How do you not... You didn't... 

Ted: Natalie! Hey, happy birthday! Listen, you're awesome. You really are awesome. I'm just, like, super busy right now, so maybe we should just call it a day. But you're awesome. 

Lily: On her answering machine! And on her birthday! 

Ted: Lily, come on. 

Lily: Who breaks up with somebody on their answering machine on their birthday? 

Marshall: Yeah, dude, e-mail. 






Ted: 我不知道。 Barney: 你和她姐姐睡过了吗？ Ted: 没有。 Barney: 你和她妈妈睡过了吗？ Ted: 没有。 Barney: 我正对你的故事失去兴趣。 Lily: 嗯，你一定做了什么事情她才会这样。你们为什么分手？ Marshall: 他还没为做出承诺准备好。 Ted: 那时她的生日快到了。好吧，我不想给一个我即将提出分手的人送一份男朋友级别的礼物 Lily: 所以你在她生日前甩了她？ Ted: 不，我没在生日前甩她。 Ted: Natalie! 嘿~生日快乐~听着... Lily: 永远都不能在女生的生日那天提出分手！ Ted: Lily，别这样，衬衫！我知道，我犯了个错误。 Lily: 好吧，她把眼睛给哭肿了吗？ Ted: 我不知道。 Lily: 你怎么会...? 不是吧你！ Ted: Natalie! 嘿 生日快乐！听着，你很不错，真的不错，很不错，我现在很忙。所以也许我们之间还是画上休止符吧。但是你很不错。 Lily: 在电话答录机上！在她生日那天！ Ted: Lily，别这样。 Lily: 谁会在对方生日那天而且是答录机上提出分手！ Marshall: 是啊，兄弟，你该发E-mail说。
