Barney tries to complete Ted's "I'm too old for this stuff" list in one day. Meanwhile, Marshall and Lily disagree about the right way to coach her kindergarten basketball team.

Quote from Barney

McCracken: Stinson! Son... you have been a pain in my ass ever since you joined this club. But damn it if this ain't some of the finest TP work I've ever seen. You're reinstated. Effective immediately.
Barney: Really?
McCracken: [shouting] Hell, no! I'm calling the police! Grown-ass man with pink hair throwing toilet paper. You gotta be kidding me. I'm too old for this...
Future Ted: [v.o.] Stuff. He said stuff.

Quote from Barney

Barney: You will not believe what happened at laser tag last night.
Ted: People freaked out because a creepy man in a suit wouldn't leave their kids alone?
Barney: No. Well, yeah, pretty much.

Quote from Marshall

Future Ted: [v.o.] Actually, he had just taken over as coach for Lily's kindergarten basketball team. He thought it'd be fun, but Lily saw it as something more: dad practice.
Lily: Hi.
Marshall: Hey! Oh, my gosh! Orange slices. That is so sweet. What are you doing here?
Lily: I couldn't resist. I wanted to see Coach Marshmallow do his thing.
Marshall: Hey, kids, who wants to knock off early and have some of these here orange slices?
Kids: Yeah!
Marshall: Yeah? [shouting] Well, you can't! Because oranges are for winners, and you little turds haven't even made a single shot yet! You're embarrassing yourselves, you're embarrassing Ms. Aldrin, and worst of all, you're embarrassing me! That's it! Suicides, baseline, now! Run.

Quote from Barney

Barney: Ted, there is not a single thing on here that you are too old to do. In fact, if you did everything on the Murtaugh List, I'd call that a pretty fun weekend.
Ted: Barney, you are not 18 anymore. If you did everything on that list, you would die. That wasn't a challenge.
Barney: Challenge accepted. In the next 24 hours, I'm going to do every single thing on this list. And after I do, you will TP the laser tag place with me.
Ted: And if you can't do it?
Barney: I will spend three hours listening to you talk about architecture.
Ted: You have got yourself a deal. Robin, will you do the honors?
Robin: A gentleman's agreement!
All: Huzzah!

Quote from Barney

Robin: You really want to make this bet with him? You know how he is.
Ted: There is some pretty tough stuff on that list. I mean, do you really think Barney's gonna get his ear pierced?
Barney: [holding a bloody toilet roll to his ear] "Get ear pierced." Check. All right, I'm off to go do laundry at Mom's house.

Quote from Barney

Ted: What's going on with your ear? Looks like the inside of a jack-o'-lantern on November 3rd.
Barney: What, this? Ah, just a little infecsh. Nothing a young guy like me can't shake off. Plus, "Put off going to the doctor," on the list. [cell phone chimes] Hold on. [raises phone to his infected ear] Go for Bar... [screams]
[Robin, on her cell phone, laughs]

Quote from Barney

Marshall: Keep running! You know what's funny is, I was supposed to come here to teach them... Do not stop running! This whole time, they've been the ones who are teaching me. Hey! [throws ball at a kid] That's not running! That's falling!

Quote from Barney

Future Ted: [v.o.] The next morning, Barney woke up on the futon in our living room.
Barney: [screams as he tries to sit up] Check.

Quote from Barney

[Barney is in a booth at MacLaren's:]
Barney: "Drinking shots with strangers." Check.
Ted: [over at the bar] You OK, Barney? It looks like you hurt your back.
Barney: Oh, no. Just rocking a party hunch. I like it. Closer to my booze. To youth. Can I get a straw?

Quote from Marshall

Lily: Because that's the point of playing, to have fun.
Marshall: No, the point of playing is to win the trophy. And if you don't know who's winning, who gets the trophy?
Lily: Everyone. It's a participation trophy, everyone gets one.
Marshall: It's like you're speaking Chinese to me right now.
