The Quote

Quote from Lily in Band or DJ

Ted: I am happy for them.
Lily: Is all you'll let yourself say out loud. Because if you said anything to the contrary, well, that would make you the most awful person on this rooftop. So, I'm gonna give you an out.
Ted: And how are you gonna do that?
Lily: By saying something that is even more awful.
Ted: Like what?
Lily: Sometimes I wish I wasn't a mom. Sometimes I want to pack a bag and leave in the middle of the night, and not come back.
Ted: Robin shouldn't be with Barney. She should be with me.
Lily: You serious?
Lily: I don't know. I mean, I love being a mom. I... I love Marvin so much. But do you remember when I wanted to be an artist? Art was my whole life. And- And now it's been months since I've even picked up a brush. I-I spend the whole day taking care of kids at my job... and I come home, and it's more of the same. It just... It never lets up. It's just really, really hard, Ted.
Ted: Have you talked to Marshall about how you feel?
Lily: Have you talked to Robin about how you feel?
Ted: Fair enough.
Lily: I just think we have to accept our lots in life... and I have to be a mom to a... a beautiful, wonderful, if slightly constipated, little boy. And you have to let Robin and Barney get a band.
