1
00:00:01,916 --> 00:00:04,247
Kids, sometimes when
you're about to give up
2
00:00:04,249 --> 00:00:06,762
on your love life forever
for the 17th time,
3
00:00:07,171 --> 00:00:09,155
destiny intervenes.
4
00:00:09,488 --> 00:00:12,739
Instead of rushing in,
I took my time
5
00:00:12,741 --> 00:00:14,457
to think up the perfect
opening line.
6
00:00:16,328 --> 00:00:17,911
Wait, no, damn it,
come back! You're really...
7
00:00:17,913 --> 00:00:19,997
You're pretty!
8
00:00:19,999 --> 00:00:21,248
And before I could call
out after her,
9
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:22,616
in any kind of embarrassing way
10
00:00:22,618 --> 00:00:24,835
that a bunch of teenagers made
fun of for the next five stops
11
00:00:24,837 --> 00:00:26,803
while I stared straight ahead
and pretended not to hear them,
12
00:00:26,805 --> 00:00:28,055
she was gone.
13
00:00:28,057 --> 00:00:31,224
But here's the thing
about Ted Mosby:
14
00:00:31,226 --> 00:00:32,476
he doesn't give up.
15
00:00:32,478 --> 00:00:34,127
Stalker Ted alert.
16
00:00:34,129 --> 00:00:35,562
Repeat, Stalker
Ted alert.
17
00:00:35,564 --> 00:00:37,648
Already has a yellow
legal pad going.
18
00:00:37,650 --> 00:00:39,766
Repeat, already has
a yellow legal pad going.
19
00:00:39,768 --> 00:00:41,234
I'm not stalking.
20
00:00:41,236 --> 00:00:42,986
I just jotted down
a few details
21
00:00:42,988 --> 00:00:44,154
to help me find her.
22
00:00:44,156 --> 00:00:45,489
Uh, like the fact
23
00:00:45,491 --> 00:00:47,357
that her smile was cute,
24
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:48,492
but a bit crooked,
25
00:00:48,494 --> 00:00:50,310
which can be a sign
of teeth grinding.
26
00:00:50,312 --> 00:00:51,995
So I called up
the city's
27
00:00:51,997 --> 00:00:53,246
top five TMJ specialists,
28
00:00:53,248 --> 00:00:55,666
and here's where it
gets interesting.
29
00:00:55,668 --> 00:00:57,167
Not interesting,
Ted, creepy.
30
00:00:57,169 --> 00:00:58,168
Let her go.
31
00:00:58,170 --> 00:00:59,319
No, this is destiny.
32
00:00:59,321 --> 00:01:01,672
No, Ted,
this is forcing it.
33
00:01:01,674 --> 00:01:05,008
When Lily and I met,
I mean, that was destiny.
34
00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:06,826
She could've knocked
on any door
35
00:01:06,828 --> 00:01:08,261
to find someone
to fix her stereo,
36
00:01:08,263 --> 00:01:09,680
but she knocked on mine.
37
00:01:13,267 --> 00:01:14,935
Now hand over
the pad.
38
00:01:17,505 --> 00:01:19,139
Ted...
39
00:01:20,007 --> 00:01:21,508
And the backup pad.
40
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:23,610
They were right.
41
00:01:23,612 --> 00:01:25,445
You can't force destiny.
42
00:01:25,447 --> 00:01:27,013
If it's gonna happen,
it's gonna happen.
43
00:01:28,734 --> 00:01:30,233
And funny story, kids...
44
00:01:30,235 --> 00:01:31,868
Oh, my God.
45
00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:33,153
It's you.
46
00:01:33,155 --> 00:01:35,038
...it happened.
47
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,040
♪ How I Met Your Mother 8x15 ♪
P.S. I Love You
Original Air Date on February 4, 2013

== sync, corrected by elderman ==
49
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:52,110
Subway Girl's
name is Jeanette,
50
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,346
and she does grind her teeth.
51
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:56,681
I assume that started
the moment she met you?
52
00:01:57,618 --> 00:01:58,984
Uh, well,
the fact is
53
00:01:58,986 --> 00:02:01,653
she wanted to find me.
54
00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:02,871
The first
thing I did
55
00:02:02,873 --> 00:02:04,323
was list out all the details
56
00:02:04,325 --> 00:02:05,624
I remembered about you.
57
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:07,626
Is... is that
a yellow legal pad?
58
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:08,693
Yeah.
59
00:02:08,695 --> 00:02:10,028
I've even got a backup.
60
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:11,330
Oh, my God.
61
00:02:11,332 --> 00:02:13,031
You had a tweed blazer
62
00:02:13,033 --> 00:02:14,466
and chalk all over your hands,
63
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:16,051
so I figured you were
either a professor
64
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:17,753
or a British gymnast.
65
00:02:17,755 --> 00:02:20,722
I'm bloody
good on the pommel 'orse.
66
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:24,309
Regrettin' this accent.
67
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,178
Can't seem to stop.
68
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:27,729
So then I asked the lady
at the student center
69
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:29,181
where I could find
the youngest,
70
00:02:29,183 --> 00:02:30,849
cutest professor on staff.
71
00:02:30,851 --> 00:02:31,933
And...?
72
00:02:31,935 --> 00:02:33,402
She sent me to a physics class.
73
00:02:33,404 --> 00:02:35,237
Professor Leyborne?
74
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:37,522
I wonder if she'd think
Dr. Goodhair was so cute
75
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:40,075
if she knew he hasn't been
published in over a year?
76
00:02:40,077 --> 00:02:41,326
Then she sent me here,
77
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:42,611
but the security guard
wouldn't let me in
78
00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:43,945
without an ID.
79
00:02:43,947 --> 00:02:45,197
I was about to give up
80
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,032
when the fire alarm
just sent you out.
81
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:48,700
It was like...
82
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:49,818
Destiny.
83
00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:51,286
Right? Right?
84
00:02:51,288 --> 00:02:52,587
It's a meet-cute.
85
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:53,672
It's a stalk-crazy.
86
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:54,690
Look...
87
00:02:54,692 --> 00:02:55,941
there's a fine line
88
00:02:55,943 --> 00:02:58,377
between love and insanity.
89
00:02:58,379 --> 00:02:59,277
It's...
90
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:01,546
the Dobler-Dahmer theory.
91
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:02,931
Oh, no...
92
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:04,566
- Damn, I always forget the little one.
- All right.
93
00:03:04,568 --> 00:03:06,718
If both people are
into each other,
94
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,804
a big romantic gesture works.
95
00:03:08,806 --> 00:03:11,473
Like Lloyd Dobler holding
up the boom box
96
00:03:11,475 --> 00:03:13,642
outside Diane Court's window
in Say Anything.
97
00:03:13,644 --> 00:03:14,976
But if
one person
98
00:03:14,978 --> 00:03:16,111
isn't into the other,
99
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:18,647
the same gesture comes off
serial-killer crazy,
100
00:03:18,649 --> 00:03:20,399
or Dahmer.
101
00:03:20,401 --> 00:03:21,783
Now, Marshall, the story of
102
00:03:21,785 --> 00:03:24,286
how you asked out Lily
is super sweet.
103
00:03:25,571 --> 00:03:27,272

00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:43,221
Dobler.
110
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,990
But if Lily wasn't into you?
111
00:03:44,992 --> 00:03:47,142

Dahmer.
117
00:04:01,325 --> 00:04:03,442
Whether a gesture's
charming or alarming
118
00:04:03,444 --> 00:04:05,143
depends on how it's received.
119
00:04:05,145 --> 00:04:08,146
And I was charmed
by Jeanette finding me,
120
00:04:08,148 --> 00:04:10,081
hence... she's a Dobler.
121
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:12,150
Don't you think
it's a little convenient
122
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:15,487
how that fire alarm happened
to randomly go off?
123
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:16,705
What are you saying?
124
00:04:16,707 --> 00:04:18,507
Ted, does she have
enormous cans?
125
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:20,375
No.
Then what we're saying is
126
00:04:20,377 --> 00:04:21,993
she's a crazy stalker bitch
who pulled that fire alarm
127
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:23,428
and you should
run screaming.
128
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:24,379
You know what?
129
00:04:24,381 --> 00:04:25,330
I-I don't think
130
00:04:25,332 --> 00:04:26,798
that we should be so cavalier
131
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,216
with the word "stalker."
132
00:04:28,218 --> 00:04:30,302
Why does that word
bother you so much?
133
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:31,553
Doesn't bother me.
134
00:04:31,555 --> 00:04:34,306
Wait... do you
have a stalker?
135
00:04:35,674 --> 00:04:36,892
I don't want to talk
about this.
136
00:04:36,894 --> 00:04:37,943
What do you mean?
137
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:39,277
As your fiancé,
if you have
138
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,313
some psycho stalker out
there, I should know.
139
00:04:41,315 --> 00:04:42,614
It was me.
140
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:43,982
I was a stalker.
141
00:04:43,984 --> 00:04:45,734
It was back
in Canada.
142
00:04:45,736 --> 00:04:47,235
I liked a guy
143
00:04:47,237 --> 00:04:50,021
and he didn't
like me, and...
144
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,523
well, I got
a little obsessed.
145
00:04:51,525 --> 00:04:54,292
I'd fill up my journals
all about him,
146
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,461
and eventually
there may have been
147
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:59,531
a teensy-weensy
50-meter restraining order.
148
00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:01,699
50 meters?
149
00:05:01,701 --> 00:05:02,717
That's like...
150
00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:04,719
four years.
151
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:06,471
Wow.
152
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,557
You must have been
a total nutbag.
153
00:05:08,559 --> 00:05:09,541
I wasn't.
154
00:05:09,543 --> 00:05:10,542
Ted is right,
155
00:05:10,544 --> 00:05:11,676
there is
a fine line.
156
00:05:11,678 --> 00:05:13,595
Anyone can cross it
and get obsessed.
157
00:05:13,597 --> 00:05:15,730
Yeah, if you're
a total nutbag.
158
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,351
Now, uh...
who's the guy?
159
00:05:19,353 --> 00:05:20,769
I'm not telling you
until you admit
160
00:05:20,771 --> 00:05:22,187
that this can happen
to anybody.
161
00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:23,221
I'm not admitting that.
162
00:05:23,223 --> 00:05:24,439
Fine. Forget it.
I'm not telling you.
163
00:05:24,441 --> 00:05:25,740
Fine. Forgotten.
164
00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:37,586
"You are so beautiful.
165
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:38,903
"Why can't you see me?
166
00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:41,456
"Someday, I'll make you see me
167
00:05:41,458 --> 00:05:43,375
"and we'll be together.
168
00:05:43,377 --> 00:05:44,793
"P.S. I love you.
169
00:05:45,795 --> 00:05:47,796
"P.S. I love you.
P.S. I love you.
170
00:05:47,798 --> 00:05:49,548
"P.S. I love you.
171
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:51,299
"P.S. I love you.
P.S. I love you.
172
00:05:51,301 --> 00:05:54,419
P.S. I love you, you, you."
173
00:05:54,421 --> 00:05:56,104
This is "ridikilus."
174
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:58,223
Who cares who she
was obsessed with?
175
00:05:58,225 --> 00:06:01,593
What, am I gonna go to Canada
and track this guy down?
176
00:06:02,311 --> 00:06:04,029
Thankfully,
177
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:05,647
unlike Uncle Barney,
I wasn't the kind of guy
178
00:06:05,649 --> 00:06:07,432
to fixate on
one little detail.
179
00:06:07,434 --> 00:06:09,200
That fire alarm--
did you pull it?
180
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:10,535
Ugh...
181
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:11,870
This is embarrassing.
182
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:14,706
I wasn't gonna tell you this,
but...
183
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,074
I'd come so far,
184
00:06:16,076 --> 00:06:18,710
only to be sent packing
by that security guard,
185
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:20,462
and... well...
186
00:06:23,782 --> 00:06:24,883
I'm sorry.
187
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:26,301
I just couldn't stand the idea
188
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:27,785
of not meeting you.
189
00:06:27,787 --> 00:06:29,754
Could not
190
00:06:29,756 --> 00:06:32,474
stand the idea
191
00:06:32,476 --> 00:06:34,142
of not meeting me.
192
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:35,510
Was it a little
193
00:06:35,512 --> 00:06:37,979
over the top to pull
that fire alarm? Perhaps.
194
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:39,814
But it charmed me.
195
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:41,900
Hence... Dobler.
196
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:44,352
Aha! You see?
197
00:06:44,354 --> 00:06:46,021
People don't put fire alarms
198
00:06:46,023 --> 00:06:48,657
out in front lobbies
for just anyone to prank pull.
199
00:06:48,659 --> 00:06:50,108
They put smoke detectors
200
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:51,526
up on the ceiling.
201
00:06:51,528 --> 00:06:53,244
Hold on.
202
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:55,447
I'm beginning to think
that you guys didn't come here
203
00:06:55,449 --> 00:06:56,998
to see my new lectern.
204
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,618
Are you implying
Jeanette started a fire?
205
00:06:59,620 --> 00:07:00,702
Dahmer.
206
00:07:00,704 --> 00:07:02,304
Dobler.
207
00:07:02,306 --> 00:07:03,672
She's John Cusack,
208
00:07:03,674 --> 00:07:05,040
I'm Ione Skye,
209
00:07:05,042 --> 00:07:07,325
and there is nothing
weird about that.
210
00:07:11,213 --> 00:07:12,714
Gordie Bellavoh.
211
00:07:12,716 --> 00:07:14,549
Thanks again for
the free donuts, eh?
212
00:07:14,551 --> 00:07:17,168
So, you up here
visiting family?
213
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:19,354
No. I'm not Canadian.
214
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:21,306
Not even a quarter Canadian
on my father's side.
215
00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:22,641
Shut up.
216
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:24,726
We're not talking "aboot" me--
217
00:07:24,728 --> 00:07:27,696
about me. Whoa.
218
00:07:27,698 --> 00:07:29,064
How long did you and Robin date?
219
00:07:29,066 --> 00:07:31,116
Well, it wasn't
really dating.
220
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:33,284
We'd take a sixer of Labatts
behind the hydro plant
221
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:36,287
and she'd let me go under
her parka over turtleneck.
222
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:38,456
Summer love.
223
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:41,126
Was Robin obsessed with you?
224
00:07:41,128 --> 00:07:42,043
No.
225
00:07:42,045 --> 00:07:43,244
No.
226
00:07:43,246 --> 00:07:44,496
Robin was way more into
this guy named...
227
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:46,414
Turk Grimsby.
228
00:07:46,416 --> 00:07:49,000
I hear Robin
was obsessed with you?
229
00:07:49,002 --> 00:07:50,835
No. We only went out
a few times,
230
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:51,803
barely knew each other.
231
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:53,138
All we talked about
232
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:54,723
was her relationship
with her mother,
233
00:07:54,725 --> 00:07:56,424
the gnawing feelings
of inadequacy,
234
00:07:56,426 --> 00:07:59,010
all the horrible secrets
on that side of the family.
235
00:07:59,012 --> 00:08:00,878
But heck, you're her fiancé.
236
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,213
You know all that, right?
237
00:08:02,215 --> 00:08:03,881
Yeah.
238
00:08:03,883 --> 00:08:05,049
Robin was
239
00:08:05,051 --> 00:08:07,218
way more into this other guy.
240
00:08:07,937 --> 00:08:10,071
Can't seem to remember his name.
241
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:11,189
Though sometimes
a powdered jelly
242
00:08:11,191 --> 00:08:12,890
can help get
the old noodle going.
243
00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:16,561
Ah...
244
00:08:16,563 --> 00:08:18,029
His name's...
245
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:19,664
Simon Tremblay.
246
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:21,032
I should have known.
247
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:22,066
Eh.
248
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:23,251
Thanks for the free donuts.
249
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:24,569
They're just donuts!
250
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:26,738
Okay? They're like
two for a loonie-- dollar.
251
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:27,922
What's happening?
252
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:30,742
Oh, somebody moosed down
all the jellies.
253
00:08:30,744 --> 00:08:33,411
Have you been hanging
out with Turk Grimsby?
254
00:08:34,747 --> 00:08:36,431
So how serious
were you and Robin?
255
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:39,267
Well, serious enough
to pop the question.
256
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:40,385
Wow. Really?
257
00:08:40,387 --> 00:08:41,586
Yeah, sure.
258
00:08:41,588 --> 00:08:43,188
Got down on one goalie pad,
259
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:44,639
I said, "Robin,
260
00:08:44,641 --> 00:08:47,642
could we keep dating but I get
to stick it to other babes?"
261
00:08:47,644 --> 00:08:48,977
Turned me down.
262
00:08:48,979 --> 00:08:50,895
I'm so sorry.
263
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:51,896
Oh, that's okay.
264
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:53,982
I really wanted to stick it
to Louise Marsh.
265
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:57,202
Still, as the years pass,
266
00:08:57,204 --> 00:08:59,704
and you take stock of your life,
267
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:02,940
part of me wishes I could've
kept sticking it to Robin, too.
268
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:06,211
So are you the one
that Robin stalked?
269
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:09,447
Oh, that story goes back
to the 1996 Grey Cup.
270
00:09:09,449 --> 00:09:11,633
What in God's name is that?
271
00:09:11,635 --> 00:09:13,184
Only Canada's Super Bowl.
272
00:09:13,186 --> 00:09:14,219
Didn't you
ever see
273
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:15,670
Underneath the Tunes
274
00:09:15,672 --> 00:09:16,888
on MuchMusic?
275
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:18,223
Again, I have to go with:
276
00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,809
what in God's name is that?
277
00:09:20,811 --> 00:09:23,461
It's only Canada's
VH1 Behind the Music.
278
00:09:23,463 --> 00:09:25,463
There's one all about
Robin Sparkles.
279
00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:28,600
Tells you the whole story
from "A" to zed.
280
00:09:32,938 --> 00:09:35,273
Are you gonna
take your...?
281
00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:40,417
Kids, relationships
are built on trust.
282
00:09:40,866 --> 00:09:42,082
So unlike Uncle Barney,
283
00:09:42,084 --> 00:09:43,900
I wasn't gonna keep
digging and digging...
284
00:09:43,902 --> 00:09:45,202
Did you start a fire?
285
00:09:45,536 --> 00:09:47,187
Ugh...
286
00:09:47,189 --> 00:09:49,189
This is embarrassing.
287
00:09:49,191 --> 00:09:51,792
I wasn't gonna tell you this,
but...
288
00:09:52,683 --> 00:09:54,182
I'd come so far,
289
00:09:54,184 --> 00:09:56,785
only to be sent packing
by that security guard,
290
00:09:56,787 --> 00:09:58,186
and... well...
291
00:10:00,544 --> 00:10:01,878
I'm sorry.
292
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,396
I just couldn't stand the idea
293
00:10:03,398 --> 00:10:05,398
of not meeting you.
294
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,883
Could not
295
00:10:06,885 --> 00:10:08,918
stand the idea
296
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,337
of not meeting me.
297
00:10:11,339 --> 00:10:12,538
She set a fire, Ted!
298
00:10:12,540 --> 00:10:13,773
Dahmer.
299
00:10:13,775 --> 00:10:14,924
You're just jealous 'cause Lily
300
00:10:14,926 --> 00:10:16,092
never burned anything for you.
301
00:10:16,094 --> 00:10:17,810
Clearly you never
tried her pot roast.
302
00:10:18,913 --> 00:10:20,096
I actually brought this
303
00:10:20,098 --> 00:10:21,347
for something totally different,
304
00:10:21,349 --> 00:10:22,415
but it worked out, right?
305
00:10:22,417 --> 00:10:23,599
Okay, anyway,
306
00:10:23,601 --> 00:10:24,500
here's my thing.
307
00:10:24,502 --> 00:10:26,102
Ladies and gentlemen,
308
00:10:26,104 --> 00:10:28,137
I have in my back pocket
309
00:10:28,139 --> 00:10:29,856
the answer to the question
310
00:10:29,858 --> 00:10:32,458
"Who was Robin obsessed with?"
311
00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:34,394
Hang on tight.
312
00:10:34,396 --> 00:10:37,146
It's Robin Sparkles 4, y'all!
313
00:10:49,793 --> 00:10:51,678
With her jelly bracelets,
graffiti coat,
314
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,379
and totally rad robot, no one
315
00:10:53,381 --> 00:10:57,333
symbolized the 1990s
in Canada like Robin Sparkles.
316
00:10:57,335 --> 00:11:00,453
But as we'd all learn one
heartbreaking Grey Cup Sunday,
317
00:11:00,455 --> 00:11:03,056
Canada's sweetheart
had a dark side.
318
00:11:03,058 --> 00:11:04,807
I'll never forget that moment.
319
00:11:04,809 --> 00:11:07,260
A little piece of Canada
died that day.
320
00:11:07,262 --> 00:11:09,028
To see her
throw her life away like that...
321
00:11:11,198 --> 00:11:12,432
...it was heartbreaking.
322
00:11:12,434 --> 00:11:14,083
I am so happy right now.
323
00:11:14,085 --> 00:11:16,827
I want to see her throw
her life away so badly.
324
00:11:16,852 --> 00:11:17,776
Yeah.
325
00:11:17,777 --> 00:11:20,377
We're all terrible people--
turn it up.
326
00:11:20,379 --> 00:11:22,830
Sparkles' hit records...
327
00:11:24,416 --> 00:11:28,351
...both went maple with "Mall"
eventually going double maple.
328
00:11:28,353 --> 00:11:31,088
I never admitted this till now,
but before a big game,
329
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:33,390
I'd listen to
"Sand Castles in the Sand"
330
00:11:33,392 --> 00:11:35,142
and get a good cry on.
331
00:11:35,698 --> 00:11:37,414
I'm not ashamed.
332
00:11:37,416 --> 00:11:41,352
But after endless touring,
Robin started to crack.
333
00:11:41,354 --> 00:11:43,287
Who doesn't love the mall?
334
00:11:43,289 --> 00:11:46,740
Shopping with
your friends and...
335
00:11:46,742 --> 00:11:49,660
I can't do this.
336
00:11:51,363 --> 00:11:52,830
Get this out of my face, please.
337
00:11:52,832 --> 00:11:54,698
Thank you, pardon me,
thanks, sorry.
338
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,352
Even when Canadians are mean,
they're polite.
339
00:11:58,354 --> 00:12:01,221
Her record producer
Chuck "Chuck" Gerusi.
340
00:12:01,223 --> 00:12:03,173
Robin Sparkles was big.
341
00:12:03,175 --> 00:12:06,226
Gino Vannelli big,
who I discovered by the way.
342
00:12:07,245 --> 00:12:08,262
Robin's next song,
343
00:12:08,264 --> 00:12:10,864
"P.S. I Love You," was so dark
344
00:12:10,866 --> 00:12:12,650
Dominant Records refused
to release it.
345
00:12:12,652 --> 00:12:15,853
Few have ever seen
the long-lost music video,
346
00:12:15,855 --> 00:12:17,221
but we found it.
347
00:12:19,075 --> 00:12:22,209

1990s music video

359
00:12:46,535 --> 00:12:48,385
All it needs

367
00:13:10,505 --> 00:13:14,323
In 1996, we booked the halftime
show for the Grey Cup.
368
00:13:14,325 --> 00:13:15,692
Huge gig.
369
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:17,860
We're talking Ivor Wynne Stadium
in Hamilton,
370
00:13:17,862 --> 00:13:20,780
just outside of Guelph.
371
00:13:20,782 --> 00:13:23,683
It doesn't get any bigger
than that.
372
00:13:23,685 --> 00:13:25,551
Hello, Canada.
373
00:13:25,553 --> 00:13:27,987
I'm Robin Sparkles.
374
00:13:27,989 --> 00:13:29,639
Oh.
375
00:13:32,577 --> 00:13:34,127
Actually...
376
00:13:34,129 --> 00:13:37,096
I was Robin Sparkles.
377
00:13:37,098 --> 00:13:38,698
The whole stadium went silent.
378
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,818
Right then, I knew something
terrible was gonna happen.
379
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:44,203
My stomach started churning.
380
00:13:44,205 --> 00:13:47,090
But Robin Sparkles is dead.
381
00:13:47,092 --> 00:13:50,476
All I could hear was Paul
Shaffer's stomach growling.
382
00:13:50,478 --> 00:13:53,179
Stress goes to my stomach--
sue me.
383
00:13:53,181 --> 00:13:55,214
It was kind of disgusting.
384
00:13:55,216 --> 00:13:56,449
I'm sorry, Jason Priestley,
385
00:13:56,451 --> 00:13:58,918
I didn't realize
you were the Queen of England.
386
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:02,356
My new name is...
387
00:14:02,938 --> 00:14:05,105
Robin Daggers!
388
00:14:05,107 --> 00:14:06,590
Two, three, four!
389
00:14:06,592 --> 00:14:09,276
♪ You, you're beautiful
390
00:14:09,278 --> 00:14:10,660
That day is now
391
00:14:10,662 --> 00:14:15,282
known in music history
as the day grunge was born.
392
00:14:15,284 --> 00:14:16,567
In 1996, in Canada?
393
00:14:16,569 --> 00:14:18,035
That seems right, Trebek.
394
00:14:18,037 --> 00:14:20,137
Give him a break,
he's not a music guy.
395
00:14:20,139 --> 00:14:22,256
That day is now known
in music history
396
00:14:22,258 --> 00:14:24,858
as the day that grunge was born.
397
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:26,309
Well, that's a bummer.
398
00:14:27,629 --> 00:14:28,862
It was tragic.
399
00:14:28,864 --> 00:14:30,163
I mean, to this day,
400
00:14:30,165 --> 00:14:32,449
you ask any Canadian
where they were
401
00:14:32,451 --> 00:14:35,519
when Robin Sparkles lost it,
not only can they tell you
402
00:14:35,521 --> 00:14:39,506
which Tim Hortons they were in,
but what donut they were eating.
403
00:14:39,508 --> 00:14:42,276
Me? Wawa, Ontario.
404
00:14:42,278 --> 00:14:43,694
Blueberry fritter.
405
00:14:43,696 --> 00:14:45,612
Halifax, Nova Scotia.
406
00:14:45,614 --> 00:14:47,314
Walnut crunch.
407
00:14:47,316 --> 00:14:48,832
Victoriaville, Quebec.
408
00:14:48,834 --> 00:14:50,450
Sour cream plain.
409
00:14:50,452 --> 00:14:52,753
Sudbury, Ontario.
410
00:14:52,755 --> 00:14:54,071
Honey dip.
411
00:14:54,073 --> 00:14:55,939
Red Deer, Alberta.
412
00:14:55,941 --> 00:14:57,841
Chocolate glaze.
413
00:14:57,843 --> 00:15:00,143
Squamish, British Columbia.
414
00:15:00,145 --> 00:15:02,663
Crammed a Timbit
into a strawberry vanilla
415
00:15:02,665 --> 00:15:04,698
and invented The Priestley.
416
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:07,250
Should've been
the best day of my life.
417
00:15:07,252 --> 00:15:10,353
It was horrifying
on so many levels.
418
00:15:11,407 --> 00:15:13,824
Actually, you know what?
419
00:15:13,826 --> 00:15:15,842
I'm sorry, I can't...
420
00:15:15,844 --> 00:15:18,028
I just can't talk about this.
421
00:15:18,030 --> 00:15:20,580
I'm out of here, okay?
I'm out of here.
422
00:15:20,582 --> 00:15:21,965
Here, excuse me.
423
00:15:21,967 --> 00:15:22,933
I'm sorry, will you take...
424
00:15:22,935 --> 00:15:24,251
No, no, don't move, I'm out...
425
00:15:24,253 --> 00:15:25,752
Sorry, sorry.
426
00:15:25,754 --> 00:15:27,587
Speculation began immediately.
427
00:15:27,589 --> 00:15:29,289
Who was Robin Sparkles
singing about
428
00:15:29,291 --> 00:15:31,708
with those angry,
obsessive lyrics?
429
00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:33,360
Many names were suggested.
430
00:15:33,362 --> 00:15:34,745
It wasn't me.
431
00:15:34,747 --> 00:15:35,679
It wasn't me.
432
00:15:35,681 --> 00:15:36,847
Wasn't me.
433
00:15:36,849 --> 00:15:37,881
It wasn't me.
434
00:15:37,883 --> 00:15:38,865
It wasn't me.
435
00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:40,583
It wasn't me.
436
00:15:40,585 --> 00:15:43,670
Why does everyone always think
437
00:15:43,672 --> 00:15:45,238
it's me?
438
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,190
I wish it was me.
439
00:15:47,192 --> 00:15:49,059
But one name comes up
more than any other.
440
00:15:49,061 --> 00:15:52,362
Alan Thicke.
441
00:15:52,364 --> 00:15:53,964
How can I help you?
442
00:15:53,966 --> 00:15:55,449
Donut?
443
00:15:56,567 --> 00:15:57,601
Whoa!
444
00:16:05,483 --> 00:16:08,301
Whoa. What
happened to you?
445
00:16:08,303 --> 00:16:12,555
Underneath the Tunes today.
446
00:16:12,557 --> 00:16:14,190
Wait, what?
447
00:16:14,192 --> 00:16:16,793
You guys get
MuchMusic down here?
448
00:16:17,495 --> 00:16:20,747
And that video lead me to...
449
00:16:20,749 --> 00:16:23,700
I am engaged
to Robin Scherbatsky,
450
00:16:23,702 --> 00:16:26,753
and I know that she wrote
"P.S. I Love You" for you.
451
00:16:26,755 --> 00:16:29,306
Now-now, why is she
so obsessed with you?
452
00:16:29,308 --> 00:16:31,874
What? That song's
not about me.
453
00:16:31,876 --> 00:16:33,376
Then who is it "aboot"-- about.
454
00:16:33,378 --> 00:16:34,644
Damn it.
455
00:16:34,646 --> 00:16:36,045
I don't know.
456
00:16:36,047 --> 00:16:37,597
I always thought
it was Coulier.
457
00:16:37,599 --> 00:16:39,432
It wasn't me.
458
00:16:39,434 --> 00:16:41,050
Stop asking.
459
00:16:41,052 --> 00:16:43,219
Geez, cut it out.
460
00:16:43,221 --> 00:16:46,740
I always liked that joke.
461
00:16:46,742 --> 00:16:49,326
Alan Thicke kicked your ass.
462
00:16:50,278 --> 00:16:51,695
He lied, didn't he?
463
00:16:51,697 --> 00:16:53,830
It was Alan Thicke!
464
00:16:53,832 --> 00:16:55,031
Wow.
465
00:16:55,033 --> 00:16:56,082
It sounds like you've become
466
00:16:56,084 --> 00:16:58,034
a bit obsessed, huh, Barney?
467
00:16:58,036 --> 00:16:59,536
I am not obsessed.
468
00:16:59,538 --> 00:17:01,871
All I did was break
into your apartment
469
00:17:01,873 --> 00:17:03,173
and read your teenage journals,
470
00:17:03,175 --> 00:17:06,926
and fly to Vancouver to
interrogate your ex-boyfriends,
471
00:17:06,928 --> 00:17:11,214
and fight beloved
Canadian actor Alan Thicke
472
00:17:11,216 --> 00:17:13,016
to a draw.
473
00:17:13,018 --> 00:17:15,385
Ow, ow, ow,
ow, ow, ow!
474
00:17:15,387 --> 00:17:16,886
So,
475
00:17:16,888 --> 00:17:18,188
ready to admit it?
476
00:17:19,641 --> 00:17:22,359
Anyone can get obsessed.
477
00:17:22,361 --> 00:17:23,810
Thank you.
478
00:17:23,812 --> 00:17:26,262
And now, I am ready to tell you
479
00:17:26,264 --> 00:17:28,448
who "P.S. I Love You" is about.
480
00:17:28,450 --> 00:17:30,099
Who?
481
00:17:30,101 --> 00:17:31,785
"P.S."
482
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:33,820
Paul Shaffer.
483
00:17:33,822 --> 00:17:36,456
Paul Shaffer?
484
00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:39,709
I know, so stereotypical.
485
00:17:39,711 --> 00:17:42,545
Every young Canadian girl
fantasizes
486
00:17:42,547 --> 00:17:44,714
about being with Paul Shaffer.
487
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:49,619
At the Grey Cup gig, Paul was
sitting in the front row.
488
00:17:49,621 --> 00:17:54,090
♪ I'll always be
waiting for you ♪
489
00:17:54,092 --> 00:17:55,925
No wonder his stomach
was growling.
490
00:17:55,927 --> 00:17:58,928
I feel bad that I scared Paul.
491
00:17:58,930 --> 00:18:01,664
He's amazing.
492
00:18:02,333 --> 00:18:04,317
But I have no regrets.
493
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,236
I was done being Robin Sparkles.
494
00:18:06,238 --> 00:18:07,187
You're not
gonna go get
495
00:18:07,189 --> 00:18:09,806
beat up by Paul Shaffer now,
are you?
496
00:18:09,808 --> 00:18:11,324
I can't believe it.
497
00:18:11,326 --> 00:18:13,610
I'm a total Dahmer.
498
00:18:13,612 --> 00:18:15,745
Yeah, but you're my Dahmer,
499
00:18:15,747 --> 00:18:17,163
which makes you a Dobler.
500
00:18:17,165 --> 00:18:20,066
Just like Jeanette.
501
00:18:20,068 --> 00:18:21,284
No, Ted,
502
00:18:21,286 --> 00:18:24,621
what that woman did to run in
to you was bonkers.
503
00:18:24,623 --> 00:18:26,256
That's just not how you start
a healthy relationship.
504
00:18:26,258 --> 00:18:27,707
Tell him, Lil.
505
00:18:27,709 --> 00:18:29,509
I can't stand
it anymore.
506
00:18:29,511 --> 00:18:31,177
I've been living a lie.
507
00:18:31,179 --> 00:18:33,346
See?
508
00:18:33,348 --> 00:18:34,714
I saw you at orientation
509
00:18:34,716 --> 00:18:36,999
and I needed an excuse
to meet you,
510
00:18:37,001 --> 00:18:37,967
so...
511
00:18:37,969 --> 00:18:39,669
Ah!
512
00:18:39,671 --> 00:18:41,003
I didn't know which room
you were in,
513
00:18:41,005 --> 00:18:44,691
so I had to create
a little destiny.
514
00:18:57,155 --> 00:18:58,571
Okay.
515
00:19:02,493 --> 00:19:04,026
I'm sorry, I just
516
00:19:04,028 --> 00:19:07,046
couldn't stand the idea
of not meeting you.
517
00:19:08,099 --> 00:19:09,332
Could...
518
00:19:09,334 --> 00:19:12,201
not stand the idea
519
00:19:12,203 --> 00:19:13,970
of not meeting me.
520
00:19:18,426 --> 00:19:20,009
I'm sorry, Ted.
521
00:19:20,011 --> 00:19:21,227
You were right.
522
00:19:21,229 --> 00:19:23,346
Jeanette's a Dobler.
523
00:19:23,348 --> 00:19:24,731
So are you.
524
00:19:24,733 --> 00:19:27,049
Thanks, buddy.
525
00:19:27,051 --> 00:19:29,235
You know, if you
hadn't been reading
526
00:19:29,237 --> 00:19:30,603
the exact same book as me,
527
00:19:30,605 --> 00:19:32,188
we never would've met.
528
00:19:32,190 --> 00:19:33,656
I mean, that's destiny.
529
00:19:33,658 --> 00:19:35,775
Oh, look.
530
00:19:35,777 --> 00:19:37,944
You bought it in the
same bookstore I did.
531
00:19:37,946 --> 00:19:40,246
On the same day.
532
00:19:40,248 --> 00:19:44,033
Within ten minutes
of me buying mine.
533
00:19:44,035 --> 00:19:45,869
Ugh...
534
00:19:45,871 --> 00:19:47,454
Uh, this is embarrassing.
535
00:19:47,456 --> 00:19:48,538
I wasn't gonna tell you this,
536
00:19:48,540 --> 00:19:51,908
but I followed you
to that bookstore.
537
00:19:51,910 --> 00:19:55,628
I just couldn't stand
the idea of not meeting you.
538
00:19:55,630 --> 00:19:58,765
You followed me
to the bookstore from where?
539
00:19:58,767 --> 00:20:01,351
How long have you
been following me?
540
00:20:01,353 --> 00:20:03,853
Uh, this is embarrassing.
541
00:20:03,855 --> 00:20:06,773
Uh, remember when you were on
the cover of New York Magazine?
542
00:20:06,775 --> 00:20:09,642
That was like a year
and a half ago.
543
00:20:09,644 --> 00:20:12,028
Yeah.
544
00:20:12,030 --> 00:20:14,547
Before a man meets
the woman he'll marry,
545
00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:17,617
he'll make one final,
horrible mistake.
546
00:20:17,619 --> 00:20:20,086
