Quote from Marshall
Marvin Sr.: [Marshall recalls video chat] Son, Viking lore tells us that to ensure the continuation of your noble male lineage... Get a big old bowl of ice and dunk your man sack right in there!
Judy Eriksen: [chuckles] You two and your football.
[Marshall screams as he dunks his private parts into a bowl of ice]
Marvin Sr.: Now get in there, point Lily due north and make me a grandson! Eriksen!
Marshall: Eriksen!
Quote from Lily
Marshall: You are trying to make us have a girl.
Lily: All my least favorite students have been boys. So I Googled "how to make a girl." some really weird stuff came up... [chuckles] But finally, I found this conception website that said you should... [v.o.] Point south at the moment of conception. Eat a lemon. And heat up your lady parts to a balmy 105 degrees. [Lily turns on the hair dryer] Ooh... Ah... Oh, that's not bad.
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: Lily, how could you do... exactly the same thing I did? You're supposed to be the sane one.
Lily: See that? Another boy expecting a woman to clean up his mistakes. That's why girls are way better than boys.
Marshall: Oh, really. Well, then how come whenever there's a creepy kid in a horror movie it's always a little girl? Or twin girls, who speak... In unison.
Lily: Oh, well, what about Chucky?
Marshall: Okay, A) He was a doll. B) He was possessed by an adult serial killer. And C) How could you bring up
Chucky right before bed?
Quote from Barney
Robin: Hey. Um, when we were dating, did... Did I make you feel needed?
Barney: No, I didn't feel like you needed me at all.
Robin: That's what I thought. Uh, I'm sorry.
Barney: Wait, where are you... That's a compliment. You are the least needy woman I've ever met. That's awesome. I mean, no guy's gonna say. "Who's your daddy?" to Robin Scherbatsky. You're your own daddy. And mommy. And weird survivalist uncle who lives in a cabin with a shotgun blaming stuff on the government. And that is what makes you the most... Amazing, strong, independent woman I've ever banged.
Robin: Thanks, Barney.
Quote from Marshall
Lily: Oh, so you finally agreed on a name?
Claudia: Uh, well, the other night she ran a really high fever.
Stuart: We rushed her to the emergency room at 3:00 in the morning, but they wouldn't admit her without a name.
Claudia: Right then and there, we realized how stupid we were being. We looked at each other and, well, we just knew. Our baby's name is...
Both: Esther.
Marshall: [gags] Esther? ... That's beautiful.
Quote from Lily
Marshall: I love you. And I'm gonna love the crap out of whatever baby we have.
Lily: Me, too.
Marshall: You know what? We should just think of a name that's good for either a girl or a boy. Like, um...
Both: Jamie.
Lily: Marshall... We just named our baby. Jamie.
[later, Lily arrives at MacLaren's to talk to Marshall:]
Lily: Not Jamie.
[As Lily walks away, we see she has two small yellow hand-prints on the posterior of her jeans]
