You meet, you talk, you have sex, you exit when she's in the shower. The next exits are four days, three weeks, seven months--that's when you guys are gonna break up, mark your calendars. Then a year and a half, 18 years, and the last exit-- death.

12. Ted : And I never saw her again. I told her I loved her, but... I just wanted to have sex. I-I would've said anything to make that happen, and... that's exactly what I did. Look, I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just telling you what all 17-year-old boys are like. Even the nice ones.
