Jerry: I have a family now. That's my wife, Cheryl. My daughter, Carly. She's in college. This is my son, J.J. I was hoping you could come over to dinner sometime and meet them.
Barney: You're all wearing matching sweaters. That's cute. Look, I gotta get goin', Jerry. But, uh, this was great. Glad we did this.
