Lily Quote #676
Quote from Lily in Romeward Bound
Ted: Lily, what's the real reason?
Lily: What if we moved to Rome...
[fantasy of The Captain presenting a piece of art with Lily in Italy:]
The Captain: What's so funny?
Italian Man: I'm uh sorry. I can't believe you paid a 10 million euro this painting.
The Captain: Why not?
Italian Man: This is not even a painting. I spin my plate, it's gonna fill a blank canvas. Smell it. It's like a toilet. It just make you look, uh, stupido.
The Captain: Lily, you're fired.
Lily: What? But no. I... it's still a great painting. I like what it says about the structure in society and the changing worlds of women.
The Captain: [speaks loudly in Italian]
[later, the picture is black-and-white as Lily sips coffee at an outdoor cafe and starts talking to a woman:]
Woman: [in Italian] What do you do for a living?
Lily: I used to be an art consultant.
Woman: [in Italian] My husband used to be married to an art consultant. Here he is now!
[The woman walks over to Marshall, who rides up on a vespa]
Marshall: Hey baby. It's time for Marvin's... bottle.

Quote from The Captain
Lily: Okay, I'm gonna call The Captain, get this over with.
The Captain: [answers phone] Ahoy.
Lily: Hello, Captain?
The Captain: Lily, I hope you're not calling to harpoon our big move to Rome.
Lily: Thank you, but I can't ask my husband to abandon his career.
The Captain: Would you like me to try and convince him? I'm very persuasive.
Lily: I'm sorry, the ship has sailed.
The Captain: What's that mean?
Lily: Well, you know, "The ship has sailed"? That it's over and there's nothing you can do?
The Captain: What a peculiar expression. Well, thanks for all your hard work, Lily. I've never been good at good-byes, so... [hangs up]
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: So, how many times are you gonna say no to your dream job? I'm just trying to plan my day.
Lily: I'm a scaredy-cat, okay? I want to be the type of person that just charges fearlessly into the unknown, but I came back two weeks early from Paris because I was lonely. I went to San Francisco, and I was never more depressed in my life. I'm small town, Marshall. I'm a hick from Brooklyn who's terrified of living more than ten subway stops from where I was born.
Marshall: Okay, Lily, if I can move from St. Cloud, Minnesota, to New York City, then you can move to Rome.
Lily: We know nothing about Italy. We have no friends there. We don't speak the language.
Marshall: [in Italian] "Come on, bro. Don't Bogart all the Funyuns."
Lily: Okay, so you know that one sentence. Can you say anything else?
Marshall: [haltingly, in Italian] "Come on. "Bro." "Don't Bogart all the Funyuns."
Lily: That-that was the same sentence. You just changed the inflection.
Marshall: [repeating the same Italian words] "Okay. I know. Maybe the only sentence I know is 'Come on, bro. Don't Bogart all the Funyuns.' But I know, in my heart, that you understand me anyway. Because no one has ever understood anyone better than you and I understand each other. Is the trip going to be scary? Yes. Do I like the idea of not knowing the language? Of course not. But I believe we can do this. I love you, Lily. I love you.
Lily: I love you, too. All right.
Quote from Barney
Lily: Guys, The Captain just made me a very interesting offer.
Barney: Finally, we get around to the real reason he hired you. Just promise you film it, and please use a tripod. There's nothing artistic about shaky-cam. It just looks sloppy.
