Quote from Lily in Hooked
Ted: Yep. Somebody doesn't want to lose "big brown eyes." Robin: Oh, Ted. She's got you on the hook. Ted: What? What? I'm not on the hook. Robin: Oh, you are totally on the hook. She's stringing you along, but she's not committing to you, but she's keeping you around, just in case, like an old can of chili in the pantry. Lily: Um... Who's buying canned chili and not eating it immediately? Marshall: Amen, sister. [high-fives]
