Season 2, Episode 18 - Aired March 19, 2007
After Ted and Robin decide to move in together, Barney thinks they're making a mistake and takes Ted's possessions hostage.
Quote from Barney
Barney: Ha, nice shooting. You know, if we win this one it's free onion rings at the Intergalactic Snack Shack.
Ted: What a bargain. We only had to spend 20 bucks a game.
Barney: Admit it, you're having fun.
Ted: Maybe. I mean, it was pretty funny when that little girl fell over that space barrel.
Quote from Barney
Barney: Okay. Let's go one more.
Ted: I don't know.
Barney: You know you want to.
Ted: All right, let's do it... I just got to call Robin real quick.
Barney: Oh, so that's what it's gonna be like from now on? No. Okay, okay. You call your old lady and ask permission to have fun. Me, I will be at the Snack Shack eating our victory onion rings Han style. Solo.
Quote from Ted
Ted: Hey, I got to admit, um... I didn't think I would, but, uh, I had a really good time tonight. You're a good friend, Barney. Hey, man, why don't you, uh... Why don't you tell me where my truck is.
Barney: No, I don't think so.
Ted: Where's my truck?!
Barney: Do you know why I haven't given you any of your possessions back yet?
Ted: Uh, because you're Admiral Jerk of the British Royal Douchery?
Quote from Barney
Woman: Let's go back to my place.
Barney: I bet you my place is closer.
[Barney and the woman leave MacLaren's through the service entrance:]
Barney: Here we are.
Woman: You live in the loading dock behind the bar?
Barney: I don't live here, baby. This is just my ride.
Woman: No, no, no, no. I'm not getting into any van, I've seen Silence of the Lambs.
[Barney lifts the door on the van, revealing a fully made-up bedroom in the back of the truck]
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: Lily, deep within the Amazonian rainforest, there is a type of tree that only grows around the body of an existing tree. It cannot survive without this tree. It is supported by this tree. Lily, we are that tree.
Lily: The inside tree or the outside tree?
Marshall: The outside tree.
Lily: Shouldn't there be three trees?
Marshall: You and I are one tree.
Quote from Ted
Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, in the spring of 2007, everything was great between me and Robin. So we decided to try and make it even better. We decided to move in together.
Ted: So, I can have the moving truck here by 8:00 am. Does that sound good to everybody?
All: [groan]
Quote from Robin
Marshall: Take your sword.
Ted: Wow. End of an era.
Marshall: Yeah. It's a bummer to break up the set, but you're going to need that sword.
Robin: It's true. My building is infested with dragons.
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: Looks like our little boy is finally moving out.
Lily: It seems like just yesterday he was a cute little freshmen. Discovering Reggae and Ultimate Frisbee.
Marshall: He did it later than the other kids but we never pushed him. We knew he'd get there.
Quote from Barney
Barney: So? We all agree? We move Ted's stuff back up here?
Ted: Mm... no. We're still moving in together.
Barney: Why? This is crazy. Ted you're throwing your life away. This girl is blinding you. With her shiny hair and her boobed shaped boobs.
Barney: This is bad for you, too, you know. How are you going to feel when he sees you without any makeup?
Robin: I'm not wearing makeup right now.
Barney: Holy crap, you're beautiful.
Quote from Robin
Barney: [to Robin] All right then, how will you feel when you can't sneak the occasional cigarette?
Ted: Oh, come on, Robin doesn't smoke. Wait, do you?
Robin: Of course not. Why? Don't tell me how to live my life!
