Quote from Ted
Ted: And there you have it. Instead of a drab, dark prison cell, a nurturing womb birthing you into a new life.
Bilson: I love it.
Barney: Really?
Bilson: Yeah. Nice work, Ted.
Ted: Thank you.
Bilson: Can you add some of these touches to the existing 18th Floor E.T.R. as well?
Ted: Absolutely.
Bilson: Great. Let's take a look.
[in the 18th floor E.T.R.:]
Ted: Okay, so I'm thinking this wall...
Bilson: You're fired!
Ted: What?
Bilson: I wanted this room! This exact room two floors up!
Ted: But...
Bilson: You're fired! Now, get the hell out of here.
Quote from Lily
Lily: Anyone from the band Rush, a "Montreal Meatpie," and superhero lunch boxes.
Robin: No.
Lily: Okay. Rick Moranis, "The Reverse Rick Moranis," antique Judaica.
Robin: Nuh-uh.
Lily: I give up. I've been guessing for three days. I-I-I'm done. If that means I never get to know, so be it.
Robin: Fine.
Lily: Tell us! [hiccups] Tell us! [hiccups] Tell us!
Quote from Ted
Barney: So how'd it all go down between you and Bilson?
Ted: Well, after he proposed a vocational paradigm shift, I made an impromptu presentation using a four-pronged approach that really brought him to his knees.
Barney: Hit him with a chair?
Ted: Yep.
Barney: That's my boy.
