4. How Ted Met Robin Sparkles-Act 4

CNE Stadium July 22, 1993. 9:30 AM

FUTURE TED VOICEOVER: So the next morning, upon insisting, I got my parents to buy me a ticket to see Robin Sparkles in concert. I was up early that morning, watching Robin's infamous "Let's Go to the Mall" several times on a Canadian music video channel, similar to our MTV in the 1990s without "Beavis and Butt-head"

TICKET COUNTER LADY: Good morning. How may I help you, eh?

TED: I'd like one ticket to see Robin Sparkles in concert tonight.

TICKET COUNTER LADY: I'm sorry (pronound "Soh-ree"), the tickets for Robin Sparkles are sold out for tonight.

TED: What about tomorrow night?

TICKET COUNTER LADY: Sorry (still pronounced the Canadian way).

TED: [sigh] Ah forget it, let's go guys. It's not a big deal. It's not like she was my girlfriend or anything. She's not an international sensation like Celine Dion or Bryan Adams…

HEATHER: Did you say "girlfriend", Ted?

TED: No, I didn't, sis!

HEATHER: Yes, you did! You want to go on a date with her! Theodore's in love! C'mon! The odds on you dating a celebrity, even a Canadian one, are very slim. You have enough trouble getting a date with a regular non-celeb girl back in Cleveland!

TICKET COUNTER LADY: Hey sir! Good news! Somebody just cancelled! We have a ticket for you tonight.

TED: Great! I'll take it!

TICKET COUNTER LADY: However, it's a front row seat with a backstage pass. It will cost $100.

VIRGINIA: That sounds a little steep.

TED: Mom! It's Canadian dollars. Their $1 equal 60 US cents. Basically we're only spending US$60. You can't get tickets like that back in the States for that low a price.

VIRGINIA: Okay Ted. [hands the money to the lady]

TICKET COUNTER LADY: All your son needs to do is show a form of ID. You're American, eh? He just needs to show his passport. By the way if you guys want to get a preview of her performing, you should go see her at the Eaton Centre sometime in the afternoon.

TED: Eaton Centre? Isn't that a mall?

TICKET COUNTER LADY: Yes it is. Think about it. (she pronounced a-boot) Her hit song is titled "Let's Go To The Mall". Naturally, all the mall owners in Canada are making her sing that song at their malls, to increase their customers and revenue.

TED: Maybe I should get a sneak peak, while my Mom and sister do some shopping. But first we need to go up to the top of the CN Tower.
