Dancing Queens on Lookout Mountain
From “How I Met Your Mother,” Episode 4: A Look on Lookout Mountain
After dinner, everybody danced. Your mother, as you will have discovered, is a lovely dancer. When she first danced in my apartment, she was so smooth, her movements so complex yet precise, that I assumed they were choreographed. She had learned them while a competitive cheerleader for eight years, I figured, and liked to break them out now and then, or she had practiced her routines in front of a mirror at home.
This amused her: in fact, she was improvising her moves on the spot. On the patio I took a video of her dancing with her sister, Erin, and her mother, Froncé, to Abba’s “Dancing Queen”. You can hear my delighted laugh in the background.
Leah Discovers Braunwald
From “How I Met Your Mother,” Episode 5: Paralyzed
And I thought: A few more months and it’s December. A year since we’d met. And in a few more months it would be March, a year since we started going steady. She had told me long before that a year should be enough time to know. In a few weeks, we would go to Europe, including to Germany, where she’d meet my mother’s last two surviving relatives, and then to Braunwald, Switzerland, the magical mountainside village I’d been fortunate to know and return to since I was a toddler. Braunwald would have been the ideal setting to propose.
