Quote from Barney in The Platinum Rule
Barney: My own bar. I can't hit on women in my own bar. Remember the old Barney? He was a lion, the king of the jungle, stalking whatever prey he chose, going in for the kill. Ted: You've got a whole meat locker at home full of corpses, don't you? Barney: Now look at me. Declawed. Neutered. What was once my jungle is now my zoo and I am forced to mate with the same old lioness again, and again, and again while families pay to watch. Ted: Yeah, this metaphor's really falling apart. Barney: Put a bell around my neck and scratch my belly, kids, for I am just a docile housecat now. Miow. Lily: Well, we love this bar. You can't dump her. Marry her if you have to. Robin: Wendy the Waitress hyphen Stinson. Marshall: Don't kill the bar, dude. [Barney bangs his head on the table]
