Quote from Barney in The Platinum Rule
Ted: Well, that's cute. But she's not my neighbor, she's my doctor. So if you'll excuse me... Robin: Wait, Ted, Barney has a point. Remember what happened with me and Curt down at the station? Marshall: Oh, yeah, and remember what happened with us and the Gerards across the hall? Barney: Need I remind you about me and Wendy the waitress? Ted: Yeah, I don't have time for this. I'm out the door as soon as i'm finished with my hair. Barney: Good, then we've got a solid half hour. And in that time, we will convince you not to set foot out that door. It's a story older than time, my friend, and it always plays out in the same eight steps.
