Barney: Hey, check out this one. It actually looks like Butterfield.
Marshall: You know, over at the NRDC, it's a bunch of really committed people who take their job of saving the earth very, very seriously. Which is great, and everything, but I can't imagine having this much fun over there.
Barney: You thinking about coming to work here full-time?
Marshall: Maybe. Don't tell Lily, okay?

Tracy: Taking off for the night.
Barney: Thanks, Tracy.
Tracy: Are you guys planning on punching some holes in that box?
Barney: Of course we are. Were you going to think of that?
Marshall: No.
Barney: That would have been bad.
Marshall: Horrible.

Future Ted: [v.o.] Luckily, there was still one person I could call to get a ride home.
Robin: Need a ride, cowboy?
Ted: Sorry. I don't get in vans with strangers.
Robin: Hmm, too bad. I got candy.
Ted: [excitedly] Candy?

Robin: So you're not going to tell me what you were doing by the side of a highway in Duchess County?
Ted: Nope. Sworn to secrecy.
Robin: Oh, come on.
Ted: I like your hat.
Robin: Right. This is embarrassing. I got highlights.
Ted: Oh, for the waiting room of your dental practice? Highlights is a children's magazine.
Robin: Yeah, I got it.

Robin: I thought it might look cool. Of course my colorist took "highlights" to mean, "I want to look like a tiger," hence the hat.
Ted: Oh. I gotta see this.
Robin: No way.
Ted: Please. I bet it doesn't look that bad. I bet it looks grrreat!

Robin: So, she says, changing the subject. Big date tonight. How does she rate on the Mosby checklist?
Ted: Kind of amazingly. Uh, she's 28, like me. Wow, I'm 28. Hmm. Uh, college educated, check. Plays tennis, check. Uh, favorite book is Love in the Time of Cholera, check.
Robin: I read that. More like "Love in the Time of Don't Bothera."

Ted: You know, it's very rude to wear a hat indoors. I'm just saying.
Robin: We're not indoors. We're in a van.
Ted: Vans have doors. Let me see your hair.
Robin: Never. What else?
Ted: She loves lasagna.
Robin: Barf.
Ted: You know, I am sensing a pattern here.
Robin: What else?
Ted: Let's see what else. Oh, she doesn't look like a tiger, check.

Robin: Look at that. 8:56. You're early.
Ted: Hey, thanks for picking me up.
Robin: Good luck on your date. I hope she's everything you're looking for.
Ted: Thanks.
Robin: All right, you've clearly had a rough night. I want you to go in there with a smile on your face, so, uh, here's what I'm going to do.
Ted: You're going to show me your hair?
Robin: Actually, I was going to show you my breasts, but... sure, we can do hair. [takes hat off]
Ted: You just made my night.
Robin: Go.

Ted: So, Lil, did you, uh, get the milk?
Lily: Yeah. Yeah, I-I got it.
Ted: You think you might want to... drink the milk?
Lily: No. Nope, I'm good. I don't need any milk.
Marshall: Look, guys, I know milk is important. It's got vitamin A, vitamin D, it's a great way to start the morning, but Ted just had a huge date. How'd it go, dude?
