Quote from Barney in Cleaning House
James: Thank you guys so much for helping us out with this stuff. Lily: Oh, it gives us a rare insight into the makings of Barney Stinson. Barney: Hmm. Lily: Hey, look at this. Who was a cute little basketball player... before he became the biggest pervert in the world? Barney: I loved pee-wee basketball. Well, until they kicked me off the team. [v.o.] I was so awesome, the coach asked me to quit because it wasn't fair to the other kids. Marshall: That sounds plausible. Barney: Hey, it's true. Tell 'em, James. James: Oh, yeah. He had, like, a four-foot vertical leap. He would hit it from the outside, hit it from the inside. [Barney leaves] He sucked. Coach cut him from the team, and Mom fed him that story so he'd feel better.
