Marshall: Lily, listen, we really need the money. I have some leads on a job, but until then, I just... I don't know what else we can do.
Lily: I'll sell my paintings!
Marshall: What?
Lily: Yeah, I'll sell my paintings. Good oil paintings go for like, $500.
Marshall: Yeah. Totally. But...
Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, sometimes you can do something right a thousand times in a row...
[flashback to Lily showing her paintings to Marshall:]
Marshall: I love it. It's a masterpiece. [cut] That's it. We're selling the TV. I just want to come home and stare at this all day. [cut] Somebody call the cops! My wife stole an awesome painting from the museum!
[back:]
Future Ted: But then, that thousand-and-first time...
Marshall: That kind of money only goes for real paintings. Uh-oh.
