Quote from Barney in Mosbius Designs
Marshall: Are you ever gonna tell her how you feel? Barney: No. Maybe. Never. I don't know. Look... Ah. I just need to get that PJ idiot away from her. If Lily were here, she'd know exactly how to get rid of him. Marshall: Maybe I can help. Barney: Marshall, you're no Lily. Lily is a diabolical puppet master, subtly manipulating every situation to get exactly what she wants. She's pure evil, Marshall. You got a good one there. Hang on to her.
