Anita said, no, don't even think of stopping for this guy. And Manuelita said, he's cute. And that's how I met your mom.

Huge. A Lincoln Continental. I mean, it was like a Star Wars machine, you know. The front of it went by, and then five minutes later, the rear of it went by. It was the huge, biggest car in the world. Manuelita, smallest person in the world.

Either that or Manuelita asked us both out. I think Manuelita asked us both out. She said, when are you coming to take her out? Something like that.
