The Mother Quote #40
Quote from The Mother in Vesuvius
[the year 2024:]
The Mother: Thank you for bringing me here. I am so glad we made it. That snowstorm was getting really bad.
Ted: Wait. You think this is a snowstorm? This is nothing. I'll tell you about a snowstorm. It was winter break, freshman year of college. Marshall and I were roommates but we weren't friends...
The Mother: Wait. Stop. You've told me this one before.
Ted: I have? When?
The Mother: Uh, let's see, it was all the time.
Ted: Really?
The Mother: You and Marshall drove back to school, "500 Miles" played on a loop. You took a back road, ran out of gas, got stuck in a snowstorm, spooned to stay warm... At least, that's your story. And at the end of it, you were best friends.
Ted: Okay, okay, that's fine. Because guess what. That wasn't even the worst snowstorm ever. It was 2008, Barney and l...
The Mother: Took over the bar, met the Arizona Tech marching band... Go Hens. And they played "Auld Lang Syne" when Marshall picked up Lily at the airport.
Ted: Okay, have I told you about the time that Marshall...?
The Mother: Tried to put Christmas lights on Lily's grandparents' house and the little ragamuffin from next door
left him stranded on the roof.
Ted: Did Lily tell you that one?
The Mother: Yeah. Lily used the word "ragamuffin."

[the year 2024:]
Curtis: I'm sorry, did I hear you talking about The Wedding Bride?
Ted: Oh, God.
Curtis: The movie or the smash Broadway musical?
Ted: Smash? Oh, oh. Oh, I guess a show's a smash now if it closes after only 96 weeks.

Ted: Okay, Jed was not based on me.

Ted: Entirely.
Quote from Barney
Barney: The only question is, which of these other suits do I pick? There are so many great ones to choose from.
Ted: Well, how about this one?
Barney: Yes, yes, that's the one. Oh, hey, quick question, is it weird to get married in a suit that you may have worn while banging a female rodeo clown? I know what you're wondering. Yes, the carpet matched the drapes.
Ted: Of course that's weird, every part of it is. Uh, what about this suit?
Barney: Ha, ha. Let's just say I stuffed a lot of bunnies in that suit.
Ted: Barney, do you have to phrase it that way?
Barney: Actual bunnies, Ted. This is my magic suit. Get your mind out of the gutter. Though I did once wear it to the Playboy holiday party and, uh... Ha, ha, let's just say I stuffed a lot of bunnies in that suit.

The Mother: He should be in prison.
