‘Natural History’
Season 6, Episode 8 - Aired November 8, 2010
When the gang attends a fundraiser at the Natural History Museum, Ted sees a whole other side to Zoey when she introduces him to her husband, The Captain. Meanwhile, Lily is shocked to learn that Marshall doesn't want to escape the corporate rat race, and Robin doesn't believe that Barney knocked down the blue whale exhibit when he was a kid.
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: Look, Lily, I know that you would have been okay if we were poor and I was trying to save the world, but will you still be okay if I make a lot of money and I spend all of it spoiling you and our kids?
Lily: We'll make it work.
College Marshall: [slow claps] There he goes. The Marathon Man. Mr. Stamina himself. I can kiss better than that, old man.
Quote from Barney
Robin: So when was the last time you saw him?
Barney: It was that day, July 23, 1981. My mom got pretty mad that he let me destroy a New York City landmark.
Robin: Moms.
Barney: He never came around anymore after that. Think he moved away.
Robin: Well, maybe the security guy had it wrong. You never know...
Barney: But you do know, you do know. That's the thing. You know. He's my dad.
Robin: Barney, do you want...?
Barney: I don't want to do anything. Don't tell anyone about this, okay?
Quote from Ted
Ted: I'm serious. It's a great look. I think it could come back, but one question. Does it cost half as much as glasses?
Quote from Ted
Zoey: I erased the tape.
Ted: What?
Zoey: I don't need it. I'm going to beat you fair and square.
Ted: Thanks.
Zoey: But it's good to know how easily you can be manipulated by a woman.
Ted: You look gross when you cry, you know that? Some women look cute. You look like a basset hound.
Zoey: Oh, laugh it up now. Because starting Monday, I got you in my crosshairs.
Ted: Bring it on, Princess.
