How I Met Your Mother Season 8 Ep.1 - Farhampton



  • Klaus:
     Ah, okay, Victoria. There is a word in German, lebenslangerschicksalsschatz, and the closest translation would be, "Life long treasure of destiny" and Victoria is wunderbar but she is not my lebenslangerschicksalsschatz, she is my beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand, you know?
  • Ted: *shakes head*
  • Klaus: You know "wunderbar" but you don't know beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand. That's something we learn in kindergarten. I'm sorry, kindergarten is a german word for--
  • Ted: No, no, I know that one.
  • Klaus: Oh, okay, but you don't know beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand, you are maddeningly inconsistent.
  • Ted: *shrugs*
  • Klaus: It means "the thing that is almost the thing that you want.. but it's not quite." That is Victoria to me.
  • Ted: How do you know she's not lebenslangerschicksalsschatz, I mean, maybe as the years go by she'll get lebenslangerschicksalsschatz--ier?
  • Klaus: Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin...have you ever felt this way about someone?
  • Ted: Yeah, I think so.
  • Klaus: If you have to think about it, you have not felt it.
  • Ted: And you're absolutely sure you'll find that some day?
  • Klaus: Of course, everyone does eventually, you just never know when, or where.
