Lily: I didn't get it. That first apartment. I... I waited too long and somebody else got it. [starts crying]
Ted: Interesting. Wow Lily, you, uh, seem to be having a pretty strong reaction to losing this apartment. I wonder is it because it reminds you of something you lost because you couldn't commit?
Robin: No, Lily you're crying over the crown-molding and the real hardwood floor. There's no deeper meaning, right, Lily? Just quit crying and tell him.
Lily: The apartment is a metaphor for Marshall!
[Robin gives Ted his five dollars back]
