Quote from Ted in Robots Vs. Wrestlers
Ted: I understand how you feel, Barney. Friendships are important. In fact, Emerson wrote a great poem entitled "Friendship". You guys are gonna love this. "A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs" [as Barney makes fart noises, Lily and Marshall laugh] Future Ted: [v.o.] That's how it had always been for me with the gang. Any time I tried to get a little high-minded... [flashback to Ted with the gang in the apartment:] Ted: You guys, you gotta try this Syrah. Hints of creme de cassis, red berries, toasty oak... [As Robin makes fart noises, everybody else laughs] [flashback to Ted in the kitchen with Marshall and Lily:] Ted: Hmm. Five letters, blank baritone. Of course. "Lyric" baritone, which is actually higher than a dramatic baritone. You know, there's a telling moment in the second act of La Boheme... [As Lily makes a fart noise, Marshall laughs]
