Ted Quote #977
Future Ted: [v.o.] That night, as I slept soundly...
Ted: Barney, what are you doing?
Barney: Who is this Barney? My name is John Clifford Larrabee, architect of The Arcadian. And I am visiting you in a dreeeeaam.
Ted: Really? 'Cause it feels more like my insane friend renting a costume and breaking into my apartment in the middle of the night for what I wish I could say was the first time.
Barney: Look, it's a dream, it is. So just... okay? Theodore, heed my words: do not try to save The Arcadian.
Ted: Barney, there's condoms in the drawer. Just take them and get out.
Barney: I am not Barney!
Ted: Whoa! Lighting change!
Barney: Theodore, you know The Arcadian is a badly built, architecturally unimportant rat's nest designed by an overpaid, plagiarizing ether addict with two thumbs. This guy.
Ted: Okay, yes, it's-it's a terrible building, but... does that mean we have to knock it down? I mean, it's not bothering anyone. Just anyone who lives in it. Or looks at it. Or smells it.
Barney: New York is never finished, Theodore. She's a lady only a handful of architects ever get to dance with. Do not miss your turn.
Ted: The Arcadian has to go, doesn't it?
Barney: Indeed.
Ted: You realize this kind of screws up my personal life.
Barney: Mo' buildings, mo' problems.
Ted: This is a dream, right? Because, Barney, I swear to God, if that's you...
[Barney disappears in a puff of smoke, replaced by Mrs. Moseby on Ted's bed]
Virginia Moseby: Mommy's got Magic Lady Bits, Ted.

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.
