Ted Quote #220

Quote from Ted in Columns

Robin: So, what are you gonna do?
Ted: Well, it's awkward, I mean, the guy used to be my boss. So, I went to talk to the managing partner.
[flashback:]
Managing Partner: Fire him.
Ted: Well, sir, I was thinking he could just be put on a different project.
Managing Partner: Fire him! He's an arrogant, washed-up, pain in the ass. In fact, fire everyone on that project. Druthers, Mosby, the whole lot of them.
Ted: Mosby, sir? I, I... I hear Mosby's doing some great work.
Managing Partner: Fine, Mosby can stay. But tell him he's on thin ice. Come here. I like you, Crosby.

Quote from Barney

Barney: Paint me.
Lily: Okay, I don't get this. You've been making fun of that painting all this time and now you want me to paint you?
Barney: We knew we could torture Marshall because he has shame. I do not. In my body, where the shame gland should be, there's a second awesome gland. True story.
Lily: Yeah, that's not the gland I'm worried about painting.
Barney: [laughs] Yeah.

Quote from Ted

Ted: Oh, my God. This is awesome times awesome. It's awesome squared.

Quote from Barney

Lily: Okay, let's get this over with.
Barney: Hey, hey! I don't want you phoning this in. This painting could, someday, become a serious work of art. I mean, you have been blessed with an amazing gift.
Lily: Thank you.
Barney: I meant me. Now, I like how you captured Marshall's essence. Goofy and unburdened, with wit. But me, I want something more regal. Something my progeny could look at and say, "There's stands Barnabus Stinson." He was wise... [picks up sword] and strong.
Lily: I don't think your sword will fit.
Barney: I get that a lot.
