Marshall: Nice, right?
Robin: I'm gonna have to say no. I don't want some 16-year-old girl falling in love with you and then shooting Lily in the face.

Barney: I vote they can stay. "Check out the jackass in the parachute pants" is a good icebreaker.
Marshall: Ted. Ted? Ted?
Ted: Sorry, buddy, it's a "no" for me, too. Oh, and by the way, Bell Biv DeVoe called. Even they don't want those pants back.

Marshall: They were insanely comfortable! They were like pajamas you could wear outside.
Barney: Marshall, it's over. We even gave you an appeal and they didn't look any better with combat boots.
