Quote from Marshall in The Mermaid Theory
Marshall: Lily's right, Ted. Once you're married, it's very hard to be friends with a single person of the opposite sex. Robin: Yeah. Unless you're old friends, which is why I can hang out with Marshall whenever I want. Right, Marsh Madness? Marshall: No doubt, Robo Cop. [fist bump] Lily: You two never hang out alone. You just made up those nicknames right now.
