Barney Stinson: Wait for It Page 2 of 2
Wait for it is one of Barney's many catchphrases, often interjected into "Legendary". At Barney's suggestion, Marshall and Lily's son, Marvin, has the middle name "Wait-for-it".
Quote from Barney in The Drunk Train
Barney: I have never been more proud of you.
Ted: Come on.
Barney: Ted, tonight is gonna be epic- wait for it - dary! Wait. No, that's not it. How do I usually say it? Gah, I hate this Quinn girl!
Quote from Barney in Who Wants To Be A Godparent
Lily: So now we don't have a guardian.
Ted: You know, as your best friend, if called upon, I'd be honored to raise Marvin.
Robin: If you want him to be raised by his underwear on a flagpole, Ted's your guy. If you want him pulling the chord on some other nerd's panties, I'm your guy.
Barney: I'll teach that kid how to be awesome in ways you and Lily never could. It's going to be legend... wait for it - no, I won't wait for it and neither should little baby Marvin, so maybe it's better if you two just die right now - ...dary.
Quote from Barney in The Locket
Barney: Hey, you know what? I'm not worried about a wild card at our wedding anymore. Whether it's Uncle Vic, or Aunt Shelly or the ring bear.
Robin: Ring bearer.
Barney: Whether any of those mammals go rogue, our wedding is gonna be legendary.
Robin: No "wait for it"?
Barney: I've got you. I don't have to wait for it anymore.
Barney: Model. Model.
Woman #1: Hi.
Barney: I know, right? This party is legend- Wait for it... [long silence]
Woman #2: Uh, how long do we have to wait for it?
Woman #1: I think he's having a stroke.
Quote from Barney in The Broath
[flashback to Barney and Quinn devising an evil plan:]
Barney: Here's what we do. I'll make Ted swear not to tell anyone what he knows about you, and he'll cave immediately. Next, we invite everyone over. I'll keep saying stuff like, "Is it okay if I put out the hummus, bunny face?"
Quinn: And I'll be the bossy bitch who says, "No, save it for dessert, idiot."
Barney: Nice. And, finally, we'll announce...
Quinn: "We're moving in together!" I've got an idea. Let's get your friends Ted and Robin fighting over my apartment.
Barney: Wait, what does that have to do with you and me?
Quinn: Nothing. I just worship chaos.
Barney: I can't handle how hot you are right now.
Quinn: Wait for it.
Quote from Barney in Something New
Barney: That was us. We made that happen. We're pretty cool.
Robin: And, you know, a week from today, we are going to be legend... wait for it...
Barney: Married.
Both: Legend-married.
Barney: Robin Scherbatsky, I love you so damn much.
Robin: I love you, too, Barney Scherbatsky. That sounds good. Think about it.
