Ted 2
Ted 2 (stylized as ted2) is a 2015 American fantasy comedy film directed by Seth MacFarlane and written by MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin, and Wellesley Wild. It is the sequel to Ted. The film follows the talking teddy bear Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) as he fights for his civil rights in order to be recognized as a person and not as property. The film also stars Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Jessica Barth, John Slattery, and Morgan Freeman. Principal photography began in Massachusetts in July 2014. Ted 2 was released on June 26, 2015, by Universal Pictures. Despite the film failing to achieve the critical and commercial success of its predecessor, it still became a box office success, grossing $215.9 million on a $68 million budget. In January 2024, a prequel television series began streaming on Peacock.
Oh, my God, Teddy! (STUTTERS) What? What's wrong? Look at this. (SOBBING) "Dear Ted, "the state of Massachusetts regrets to inform you "that due to an oversight regarding your legal status "your marriage to Tami-Lynn McCafferty is unrecognized by the state "and, therefore, invalid and hereby annulled."
Ted 2
Oh, my God. Can we do that? Hell yeah! You know what we do? We'll get a lawyer and we'll sue the fucking government for your civil rights! Johnny, that's a great idea! Hey, hey! Maybe we get one of them Harrison Ford lawyers who gets shot in the head, then turns all retarded and nice and goes, "What we're doing is wrong." Yes. You know what, we get out there and we stick it to them good. We take that shit all the way up to Judge Judy if we have to. Yeah. But we don't know any lawyers. All our friends make sandwiches. Ah. Oh, we just Google "Boston lawyers."
Ted 2
Uh, all of our holdings are tied up in the railroads. Yeah, Reading Railroad, 5&0 Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad. We're working on Short Line. Urn, I own Atlantic Avenue and Marvin Gardens. And I own four houses on Baltic Ave. I was thinking about just tearing them down and building a hotel. I won second prize in a beauty contest. That's $50 right there. Are you guys just saying Monopoly stuff?
Ted 2
Tell you what, I'm gonna go drive around the blook, and I'll be back with $200. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. My niece recently passed her bar exam and I've hired her on as a junior associate here at the firm. I could assign her to your case, pro bono. And then you would get a hungry, young attorney and I would get a more experienced lawyer in return.
