Lily: [answers phone] Hello.
Robin: Hey, Lily, I'm locked out of my apartment. I need to come pick up my extra key.
Lily: Extra key? Do I have an extra key to your apartment?
Robin: Yes, I gave it to you.
Lily: Oh, right. That key. Yeah, I lost it.
Robin: Great, now I gotta go to the locksmith.
Lily: No, wait, uh... Maybe you should just knock.
Robin: Knock? Lily, my dogs aren't that well trained.

Robin: Just knock. Okay. [Robin knocks on her own door. Ted opens the door holding a bouquet as the blue orchestra starts playing]
Ted: Hi.
Robin: Hi.
Ted: Robin, I've sort of said this already. I mean I've half said it. I've tried to say it, and I've said it badly. So this is me, just saying it. With strings. I'm crazy about you. I think we should be together. What do you say? What do you say?

Ted: What do you say?
Robin: Yes. No. I don't know.
Ted: Those are the three options.

Robin: Alright, let's talk.
Ted: Okay. [to the orchestra] Oh, hey, you guys want to take five?
Robin: Thanks, guys. Just need a minute. Sort of a big life decision. Love the blue instruments, though. Kind of an inside joke.

Robin: You're crazy.
Ted: Right. Come on.
Robin: It's not that I haven't thought about this. You know that I have, but let's look at this, okay? We only just started being friends again.
Ted: I know. But... come on.
Robin: And we want different things. That's still there. That's not going away. I mean, what if we do this and it doesn't work out and I'd lose you as a friend? I gotta think about this.
Ted: Okay, fine. Think about it on the plane. Let's go to Paris for the weekend. I'm serious. I'm kidding. I'm serious.

Robin: You're leaving?
Sandy Rivers: There, I quit my job. We're not coworkers. Will you please have dinner with me? I'm joking. I got offered a job at CNN.
Robin: Oh, congratulations.
Sandy Rivers: Congratulations yourself.
Robin: What do you mean?
Sandy Rivers: Well, Joel asked me who I thought should replace me as lead anchor. I told him you. They're announcing it next week. Act surprised.
Robin: Wow. Thanks. And, yes.
Sandy Rivers: Yes, what?
Robin: Yes, let's go get dinner.
Sandy Rivers: How about this weekend on the camping trip? I roast a mean weenie.

Ted: Oh, you're kidding me. No way. Don't go on this thing.
Robin: Ted, I have to go. It's a company camping trip.
Ted: Really? Because it also kinda sounds like a date. With Sandy... and his weenie.

Ted: So, what? You actually like this guy now?
Robin: I don't know.
Ted: Are you gonna hook up with him?
Robin: I don't know.
Ted: Yes, you do.
Robin: No, Ted, I don't. And you know what? That's okay. I don't plan out every second of my life like you do.
Ted: I don't plan out every...
Robin: Oh, really? What is all of this? I mean, why can't you just say, "Hey, Robin, let's go get some sushi?" No, it has to be a-a string quartet and-and Paris and flowers and chocolates, and let's spend the rest of our lives together.

Ted: Don't you think we're a little bit past sushi at this point? God, you are so terrified of anything real. It's like you're floating out in space. Touch the ground, Robin. Live in the world, make a mistake. Make this mistake.
Robin: I need to think about this.
Ted: Fine. No, I'm sorry, I... I can't do this anymore. I need an answer.
Robin: If you want me to say yes right now, I-I can't do that.
Ted: Well, if it's not yes, then it's a no.
Robin: Then I guess it's not meant to be.

Barney: Nice try, buddy.
Lily: Good hustle out there.
Marshall: Look at the bright side. At least you got some closure. She's made her choice and you can finally move on.
Ted: Screw that. This ain't over.
Marshall: Ted, you sat here in this very booth and you said...
Ted: I don't care what I said. This is gonna happen. She can't say it's not meant to be. It is meant to be, and you know why? 'Cause I mean it to be.
