Quote from Barney in Happily Ever After
Future Ted: [v.o.] And we need to be there for him. But as much as my friends really wanted to be there for me, I was, by all appearances, fine. Lily: Hey, buddy. Want to hang out? Ted: Guys, I'm fine. [later] Marshall: Hey, pal, you want to have a catch? Ted: I'm fine. [later] Barney: Hey, kiddo. Ted: Barney, I'm fine. This is not necessary, and it's actually kind of weird. No offense, ladies. Barney: I did not realize you'd be home. Ladies, to the stairwell.
