On Thanksgiving, Marshall and Lily visit his family in Minnesota, while Robin and Ted volunteer at a soup kitchen.
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: The shuttle's here!
Lily: He hasn't been back home to Minnesota since Christmas. He's a little excited.
Marshall: Baby, we're holding up the shuttle, do you have everything you need? Toothbrush, pajamas, underpants. Underpants. [runs back to bedroom]
Quote from Future Ted
Future Ted: [v.o.] And go they went, all the way to St. Cloud, Minnesota, Marshall's hometown. And as Lily stepped into her fiance's boyhood home, she received a big welcome.
Marshall: Hello, we're home!
Future Ted: [v.o.] A very big welcome. You see, at 6'4", Marshall was the runt of the Eriksen clan.
Quote from Lily
Lily: You're gonna go play hockey? With a basketball?
Marvin Sr.: Well, it's a combination of the two. We call it bask-ice-ball.
Marshall: We invented it. It's the most dangerous and awesome sport in the world.
Lily: Bask-ice-ball? Not ice-ket-ball?
Marvin Sr.: Ice-ket-ball? Just sounds weird.
Quote from Barney
Barney: Okay, well, I better get out there. There's a lot of food to give out. And a lot of smiles.
Quote from Lily
Judy Eriksen: Oh, I almost forgot. I know it's early but you are a future Mrs. Eriksen.
[Judy puts a "Mrs. Eriksen" apron on Lily]
Lily: Thank you. It'll go great with my... I just love it.
Judy Eriksen: Okay, Lily, we're putting you on salad duty.
Lily: Oh, I make this great frisee and endive salad with a coriander lime vinaigrette.
Ashley Eriksen: But this is an American holiday.
Judy Eriksen: Now that you're going to be a Mrs. Eriksen, I'm going to let you in on a secret recipe. The Eriksen family seven-layer salad.
Lily: Seven-layer salad? [Judy gives Lily a recipe] Six cups of mayonnaise? That can't be right.
Judy Eriksen: Oh no, dear, sixteen cups. Mayo's in that cabinet.
Quote from Barney
Barney: Man, it's amazing out there. I've done so much good today, I've got like a soul boner. And the way the faces of the less fortunate light up when you give them a hot, nutritious meal, is there a better feeling on earth?
Robin: Yesterday, you said the best feeling on earth was getting your toes sucked. Then you requested a high-five with your foot.
Quote from Lily
Judy Eriksen: So, Lily, when are you gonna start thinking about having a baby?
Lily: Baby? Uh, you know, I hadn't really thought about it at all.
Future Ted: [v.o.] Actually Aunt Lily was lying. It'd been all she'd been thinking about. You see, remember when she said...
[flashback:]
Lily: Well, I just ralphed.
[back:]
Future Ted: At that point she was five days late. This was day six.
Lily: Yeah, I mean, I'm way too young to have a baby, right?
Judy Eriksen: Oh, are you kidding? I was younger than you when I had Marcus. Beautiful 15 pound boy. Not much bigger than this turkey right here.
Lily: [looking at the turkey] Oh my.
Quote from Lily
Future Ted: [v.o.] Now if Lily was already uneasy about joining the Eriksen family, imagine how she felt about possibly having a 15-pound Eriksen growing inside of her.
Lily: That's a big baby, Judy.
Judy Eriksen: The doctor thought he was twins.
Lily: [nervous laughter] Twins. Twins!
Quote from Robin
Ted: This is crazy. When did it get so hard to do charity work?
Robin: I do charity work all the time. Remember when I said I'd find you a girlfriend.
Ted: Ha ha. Delightful. How is that little project coming along anyway?
Robin: I'm working on it. I'm gonna introduce you to that girl you've been staring at.
Ted: What? That's crazy, I haven't been staring at any girl...
Robin: [to a woman] Have you met Ted?
Ted: Hi, I'm the aforementioned Ted, and this is... [sees Robin has left] gone.
Quote from Lily
Ashley Eriksen: Look who came to say good-night. It's little Martin. Three-months old.
Lily: Three months! Three months?
Marshall: He's been drinking his milk.
[All the Eriksens lift up their huge glasses of milk]
All: Here here.
