Quote from Ted in Karma
Robin: [imaginary] Pottery. Now you're making pottery. Ted: I needed a new vase and some plates. And bowls. The china cabinet I built had some design flaws. Robin: Why don't you just turn this into a guest room? Ted: A guest room? [chuckles] You mean a room ready and waiting for someone who isn't there? A room devoted to reminding me that I'm still alone? Robin: Yeah, I don't need that. Ted, no matter how many things you put in this room, I'll still be here.
