Quote from Ted in Mom and Dad
Ted: Some bastard snuck into my room and spilled ink all over the Gretzky photo I was holding for Barney. Detective Mosby is on the case. Lily: Oh, God, that's horrible. Ted: I know. It was a gift for Robin. Lily: No, I mean, "Oh, God, that's horrible. Detective Mosby's the worst." Ted: Mm, Detective Mosby is the case-crackingest private dick on the scene. Lily: Really? Like that case from eight years ago you still haven't cracked? [flashback to a week ago: Ted is in the apartment with an evidence board about "The Pineapple Incident"] Ted: I'm callin' it. Damn it! [present:] Ted: My greatest failure.
