Robin: Why did you pause?!

Quote from James

Quote from Barney

Future Ted: [v.o.] Reverend Gibbs wouldn't be the only VIP arrival that day.
Barney: Dad!
Jerry: Barney. Oh, I can't believe you're getting married. You've grown up so fast. Then again, I did miss about 30 years of your life. Did I mention we got you two things from your registry?

Quote from Barney

Barney: Hey. So there I am, lying in the wet, filthy sand under the patio, just minding my own business, when my dad bumps into my mom, and he says - get this - he says to her, "Weather's improving, huh?" It's like, why don't you just do it already? Huh?
Robin: Barney, I know you've always dreamed of a reunited family, but Jerry's married.
Barney: So what? Marriage is just a meaningless piece of paper.
Robin: I'm a lucky gal.

Quote from Barney

[Jerry walks up to the stairs, where there's a sign which reads "The stairs are wet. No, broken. Yeah, the stairs are broken." Jerry then walks to the elevator, which Loretta is already in.]
Jerry: Oh, hey there.
Loretta: Hi. Barney texted me to meet him ASAP, but the stairs are wet.
Jerry: No, broken.
Loretta: Yeah, the stairs are broken.
Jerry: Yeah. I got the same text.
[The elevator comes so a sudden halt and the lights goes out]
