Quote from Ted in The Front Porch
Future Ted: [v.o.] So, Robin and I enjoyed a gourmet dinner. Well, for her it was breakfast. And we ended up doing exactly what Lily wanted us to do all along: We talked about our relationship. Robin: So, Lily broke us up, sort of. Ted: Yeah. Sort of makes you wonder. Robin: Yeah. I mean, if it weren't for her, would we still be dating right now? Ted: Maybe. But Lily was right. We weren't ready. We both need to move on, do our own thing. Still do, I guess. Robin: We should make a pact. If the years go by, and we both turn 40, and we're still single... Ted: [gets down on one knee] Robin Scherbatsky, will you be my backup wife? Robin: A girl always dreams of hearing those words. Yes! Yes! A million times, yes!
