Quote from Barney in The Three Days Rule
[Ted reading Holli's text in the apartment:] Holli: "And when we finally come together, I want you to..." [flashback to Stan telling this to Barney and Marshall at MacLaren's:] Stan: hold me. Hold me all night. Stroke my hair. Tell me I'm a woman and show me you're a man. Until there there was only now. You and I... and now. Marshall: Yes! You want me to text that to Ted. I know that. [back to Ted reading the text in Holli's voice:] Holli: "I do not ask of the night explanations. I wait for it, and it envelops me, and so you and bread and light and shadow are." [flashback:] Stan: That's Pablo Neruda. Marshall: I don't know... what bread was doing in there, but that touched me here and here. Barney: Well, if Ted won't say it, I will. I love you. Stan: That's cool.
