Robin Quote #291
Quote from Robin in Shelter Island
Ted: Right. We used to date, but we both moved on. And... look, we got what we wanted. I'm getting married, you got your dream job in Tokyo. And they all lived happily ever...
Robin: I quit my job.
Ted: You what?
Robin: I'm moving back to New York. I thought I wanted that job, but... I want to come back to my real life. And I think you should go back to yours.
Ted: What's that supposed to mean?
Robin: Don't get married. Look, you're rushing into this. It's like you're trying to skip ahead to the end of the book. Ted, you're the most romantic guy I know. You... You stole a blue French horn for me. You tried to make it rain.
Ted: I did make it rain.
Robin: It was a coincidence. But after all that, this is how your great romantic quest comes to an end? You're just disappearing into someone else's wedding, someone else's house, someone else's life without a second thought. That's not the amazing ending that you deserve. That's not Ted Mosby.
Ted: I love Stella. She's the one. If you really feel that way, I guess it's a good thing you're not coming to the wedding after all.
