Quote from Lily in Pilot
Marshall: So, did you kiss her? Ted: No. The moment wasn't right. Look, this woman could be my future wife; I want our first kiss to be amazing. Lily: Aw, Ted that's so sweet. So you chickened out like the little bitch. Ted: What? I did not chicken out! You know what? I don't need to take first kiss advice from some pirate who hasn't been single since the first week of college. Lily: Ted, anyone who's single would tell you the same thing. Even the dumbest single person alive, and if you don't believe me, call him. [cut to Ted phoning Barney as he plays laser-tag]
