your mother.
DAUGHTER
Heard it.

Sure, you’ve heard the short version.

important for you to hear it.
SON
Are we being punished for something?

No.

NARRATOR
It was way back in 2005. I was single,
I had a full head of hair, my career
as an architect was taking off, and I
lived in New York City with Marshall,
my best friend from college. Life was
good, until one brisk October night,
when Uncle Marshall screwed the whole
thing up.

Perfect! And then she says yes, you’re
engaged, you pop the champagne, drink
a toast, have sex on the kitchen
floor. (BEAT, THINKS) Don’t have sex
on our kitchen floor.
MARSHALL
Got it. Geez, I’m so nervous. My
stomach’s going crazy.
TED
It’s not cancer.
MARSHALL
Who said cancer?
TED
You were about to.
MARSHALL
It could be cancer! I’ve got all these
symptoms, I’ve been peeing like crazy,
my mouth is dry, she’s gonna say no!
TED
All right, c’mere, bring it in.
TED GIVES HIM A HUG.
MARSHALL
Thanks for helping me plan this out,
Ted.
TED
Dude, it’s you and Lily! I’ve been
there for all the big moments of you
and Lily. The night you met, your
first date...other first things.
MARSHALL
I’m sorry. We thought you were asleep.
TED
It’s physics, Marshall. If the bottom
bunk moves, the top bunk moves too.
TED
But that was nine years ago, the
nightmares have almost stopped. (BEAT)
And you’re getting engaged. Tonight.
MARSHALL
Yeah. What are you doing tonight?
TED THINKS. FREEZE FRAME.
NARRATOR
What was I doing? Here Uncle Marshall
was taking the biggest step of his
life, and me? I’m calling up this guy.
