Quote from Lily
Lily: Ugh! This baby is making it so I can't button my pants anymore.
Marshall: Big whoop. In 55 years, I don't think my dad buttoned his pants even once.
Lily: And somehow, despite sweet talk like that, I don't feel sexy anymore.
Marshall: Are you kidding? I mean, you're- you're even sexier now that you're rounding out. [Robin grimaces] I mean, you're even more sexy simply because there's so much more of you. [all grimace]
Lily: I'm never gonna get in the mood while your mammoth Eriksen seed is muffin-topping the bodiddly out of me.
