Ted Still Wants to Find Mary, Explained：have feelings for someone
Ted admits he still has feelings for Mary and wants to contact her. Healy, who wants Mary for himself, pretends to help while inventing new reasons she is not worth it — she is going to Japan, she is enormous, and Ted "blew it." Ted answers that he cannot simply switch his feelings off.
あらすじ
Ted tells Healy that he is still not over Mary and wants to call her. Healy, who is secretly after Mary himself, says he will help, then piles on new insults: she is going to Japan, she is huge, and Ted already had his chance. Ted replies that his feelings do not switch off, and Healy changes the subject by teasing him about his novel.

What's really going on
The scene shows Healy's deception growing more desperate as Ted's sincerity refuses to fade. Ted has heard every awful detail and still wants to find Mary, because what he feels is not based on her looks or her situation — it is simply loyalty to a memory. "I know this doesn't make sense to you, but I can't just turn it off that fast," he says, and that line is the film's whole idea of love: it is stubborn, irrational, and not something a person can switch off. Healy, meanwhile, keeps inventing: Japan, a mail-order marriage, her weight, all of it designed to protect his own plan. The comedy is that the worse Healy makes Mary sound, the more determined Ted becomes, which quietly sets up the reunion to come.
Theme
DeceptionHealy keeps inventing worse and worse stories about Mary, and the scene lets us watch a lie being maintained for selfish reasons.
RomanceTed's refusal to give up on Mary is presented as genuine devotion, standing against every practical argument Healy can invent.

I know this doesn't make sense to you, but I can't just turn it off that fast.Ted's explanation of his own devotion: feelings are not a switch, and he cannot stop caring about Mary just because the facts have changed.
Okay? I mean, come on. You're liberated. I feel liberated.Healy's cynical spin: he tells Ted to treat the loss as freedom, using the language of therapy to disguise his own desire for Mary.
Ted, you gotta finish that novel so you can quit that stupid magazine.A friendly nudge at the end: Healy urges Ted to finish his novel and leave the magazine, the one piece of advice in the scene that is not self-serving.
I guess I still have feelings for her.The simple confession that drives everything: despite all he has heard, Ted admits he is still attached to Mary.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Ted still want to find Mary?
Because he never stopped caring about her. Nothing Healy says about her appearance or situation changes how Ted feels, and he cannot simply turn those feelings off.
Why does Healy keep lying about Mary?
Because he wants Mary for himself. Every detail he invents is meant to discourage Ted, so that Healy can pursue her without competition.
What does "blew it" mean?
It means to ruin or lose an opportunity. Healy tells Ted that he already had his chance with Mary and wasted it.
What does Healy claim is happening to Mary?
He says she is going to Japan as a mail-order bride, and adds cruel jokes about her weight. None of it is true, but it is meant to make her seem unavailable.
What does Ted plan to do at the end of the scene?
He says he still wants to call Mary and even help her. He also has to get up early to help his boss's brother move, and Healy tells him to finish his novel.
