Quote from Lily in The Front Porch
Ted: You broke me and Karen up? Are you insane? What gives you the right to do that? Lily: Ted, I did it for your own good. You just weren't seeing how awful she was. She failed the Front Porch Test. Ted: What's the Front Porch Test? Lily: Ted, you, me, and Marshall have been best friends since college. Think about how much we all mean to each other. So when I picture the future, I picture us all together. How we'll all be retired, sipping tea on the front porch of our beach house, playing bridge all day. [fantasy scene of elderly Ted, Marshall and Lily on the front porch:] Lily: Okay, bridges are wild. Four of a bridge beats a royal bridge. Ted: I see your bridge and I raise you three bridges. Marshall: Bridge! I win! [present:] Barney: You have no idea how to play bridge, do you? Lily: We're gonna take a class. Marshall: It's important to stay active.
