1
00:00:01,781 --> 00:00:06,197
When I read the script I just immediately fell in love with it.

2
00:00:06,198 --> 00:00:08,588
And I just thought it was really sweet.

3
00:00:08,589 --> 00:00:13,954
And I believed that these were people and each character had their own voice

4
00:00:13,955 --> 00:00:16,263
It's pretty rare to find.

5
00:00:16,264 --> 00:00:21,729
I really love the characters and the heart of this story.

6
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:26,003
And I just really believed that these were real people.

7
00:00:26,004 --> 00:00:27,767
We were having so much fun.

8
00:00:27,768 --> 00:00:30,583
This is never gonna get picked-up. We need some drama...

9
00:00:30,584 --> 00:00:33,015
We need people that hate each other, like...

10
00:00:33,016 --> 00:00:36,829
go get together and then break up and have it all go horribly wrong.

11
00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:38,318
Then we have a show.

12
00:00:38,319 --> 00:00:44,213
You just don't feel like it can be smooth sailing and you can have a great show.

13
00:00:44,432 --> 00:00:45,031
And we do!

14
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:49,887
It's just the story of these friends...

15
00:00:49,888 --> 00:00:58,296
...in the time in their life where one couple is engaged and gonna get married...

16
00:00:58,297 --> 00:01:03,581
... and then one wants that and another one wants nothing to do with it.

17
00:01:03,582 --> 00:01:09,116
And it's just a sort of balance of life and love and friendship.

18
00:01:09,117 --> 00:01:14,927
Lily is a kindergarden school teacher and she's been with Marshall for 9 years.

19
00:01:15,128 --> 00:01:18,546
And they become engaged in the pilot.

20
00:01:18,547 --> 00:01:27,129
She and Ted and Marshall are just best friends. And she is great.

21
00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:31,386
She sort of wears the pants in their relationship.

22
00:01:31,387 --> 00:01:36,695
But they are just a great team, she and Marshall.

23
00:01:36,696 --> 00:01:43,479
I definitely always drawn towards funny characters

24
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:52,391
I just really liked the script and she's funny but she also had heart.

25
00:01:52,392 --> 00:01:55,094
Which I think is important.

26
00:01:55,095 --> 00:01:59,895
And I really enjoy the relationship of Marshall and Lily.

27
00:01:59,896 --> 00:02:04,402
The show sort of has every perspectives...

28
00:02:04,403 --> 00:02:12,925
It's got the love birds. It's got the sort of yearning to find that one true love an THE one.

29
00:02:12,926 --> 00:02:17,559
And it's got Barney who just doesn't want anything to do with love.

30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,276
And just wants one-night stands and one-night stands.

31
00:02:22,881 --> 00:02:26,447
It's just sort of run the gamut.

32
00:02:26,448 --> 00:02:30,675
It's still ridiculously funny even though it does have heart to it.

33
00:02:30,676 --> 00:02:34,523
So I think it has a really good balance between...

34
00:02:34,524 --> 00:02:40,459
... just funy jokes and still a little bit of romance.
