not pick it up.

hey there
i was stumped as well with this scene i replayed it many times and still couldn't grasp what he said
but ted does this in all 4 movies
i believe in nancy drew reporter she tells him to "double talk" which is essentially gibberish every other word
so he said nothing to confuse that guy
doubel talking is quite funny..i play that gag on people alot

There were a few comedians back then who specialized in double-talk. Most notably was Cliff Nazarro- who has a very funny scene in Blondie Goes To College, as Professor Mixwell-The Double Talker. He instructs the class using double-talk.

That part stumps me too. :(
