[Script]

 

Marshall:

(프러포즈 리허설 중) Will you marry me?

 

Ted:

Yes, perfect! And then you're engaged. You pop the champagne. You drink a toast!

*Pop the champagne: 샴페인을 터뜨리다

 

Marshall:

Thanks for helping me plan this out, Ted.

 

Ted:

Dude, are you kidding? It's you and Lilly.

I've been there for all the big moments of you and Lilly; night you met, your first date,
other first thing. My God. You're getting engaged tonight. 

 

Marshall:

Yeah. What are you doin' tonight?

 

Ted:

What was I doing? Here uncle Marshall was taking the biggest step of his life.

And me? I'm calling up your uncle Barney.

나는 뭘 했냐고? 마샬 삼촌은 인생에 가장 큰 발걸음을 내딛고 있었고,

네 아빠는 바니 삼촌에게 전화를 했단다.

 

Barney:

Hey, so you know how I've always had a thing for half-Asian girls?

야, 내가 얼마나 아시아 혼혈 여자를 좋아하는지 알지?

 

Well, now I've got a new favorite... Labanese girls.

나 이제는 레바논 여자들이 좋아졌어.

 

상황적으로는 나올 대사는 아니지만

HIMYM에서 Barney Stinson이라는 캐릭터가 통통 튀는 바람둥이 인지라 가능한 멘트네요.

아래 전화를 건 Ted의 표정을 보면 그들의 캐릭터를 확인할 수 있습니다.
