Future Ted: [v.o.] That night, Robin agreed to meet her dad one more time.
Barney: Your dad has something to say.
Robin Sr.: I'm sorry for getting married without consulting you. It was wrong of me.
Barney: There. Now, Robin...
Robin Sr.: I know that no mere apology will fix this. And that is why I've asked Carol for a divorce.
Barney: What?
Robin Sr.: She's heartbroken, understandably. Possibly suicidal.
Barney: I did not tell him...
Robin Sr.: But if that's the price for my daughter's love, then I will gladly let Carol pay it. Was that not what you wanted?
Robin: You want to know what I want? A normal dad. That's all. I... I want you to give this blond guy permission to marry me. Come to the wedding. Give me away. Smile in the pictures, and then dance with me like a normal dad. Is that too much to ask?
[cut to Robin retelling the story to Ted at MacLaren's:]
Robin: "Of course not. Oh, Robin, my darling girl, of course I'll do all that stuff. I love you, and I'm proud of you."
Ted: He didn't say that?
Robin: No.
[flashback:]
Robin Sr.: Fine. One dance. "Cheeseburger in Paradise." And Carol's going to sing it. Well, see you at the wedding.
