Robin Quote #606
Robin: The point is, this thing with you and Zoey? I can see it going three possible ways. There's the first scenario. The chairman asks you...
[fantasy scenes at the landmark committee meeting:]
Mr. Horvath: Do you think The Arcadian should be a landmark?
Robin: [v.o.] You say...
Ted: No.
Robin: [v.o.] And Zoey dumps you on the spot.
Zoey: We're done here.
[reality:]
Robin: There's the second scenario.
[fantasy:]
Robin: [v.o.] The chairman asks you...
Mr. Horvath: Do you think The Arcadian should be a landmark?
Robin: [v.o.] You say...
Ted: Yes
Robin: And you're happy for, like, a second, until you realize the building you helped save has just become a monument to everything this woman made you give up, and you resent her for it, so much so, in fact, that you dump her.
Ted: We're done here.
[reality]
Ted: You said there was a third scenario.
Robin: Right.
[fantasy:]
Robin: [v.o.] The chairman asks you...
Mr. Horvath: Do you think The Arcadian should be a landmark?
Robin: [v.o.] But before you can answer... You're hit in the neck with a blow dart fired by the ninja Zoey's ex-husband hired to assassinate you.
Ninja: [in Japanese] "We're done here".
[reality:]
Robin: That one's less likely.

Quote from Barney
Barney: Can you believe that?! I can't be unemployed, Robin! My job is my identity; it's who I am. It gives me the confidence I need to convince girls I'm a fighter pilot.
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: A symbol of strength and constancy, the stone lion of The Arcadian has watched over New Yorkers for generations. So remember: if the lion head stonework is regal, then tearing it down should be illegal. [audience applause] Well... Did you like that? All right, uh... We must make sure the lion is always there. Destroy The Arcadian? Oh, no, don't you dare. Yeah? Yeah? Okay. Try this one on for size... If you want New York's history at your beck and call...
Mr. Horvath: All right, thank you, Mr. Eriksen.
Quote from Ted
Mr. Horvath: Mr. Mosby, do you think The Arcadian should be a landmark? It's not a difficult question.
Future Ted: [v.o.] Actually, it was a difficult question. Of course, had he asked me a few days earlier, I would have immediately said...
Ted: "Yes. The Arcadian should be a landmark." And then the crowd would have said, "Oh, my God! Did he really
just say that? Oh, heavens! Oh, my stars! I must clutch my pearls!"
Lily: So these things are generally attended by old Southern ladies?
Ted: Almost exclusively.
