Barney: I'd call your ex a dog, but that would be an insult to little Ladybug here.
Woman: Oh, I just want to take her home right now.
Barney: Not without a chew toy from Uncle Barney first. [v.o.] And when I got back... [dialogue] I'm sorry, I'm already spoiling her but diamond in the rough... Could your heart just melt?
Woman: [slaps Barney] Jerk!
