Barney Quote #847

Quote from Barney in The Possimpible

Robin: These costumes are ridiculous. Plus, the Amazon Warrior Princess armor gave me a rash.
Barney: Cards on the table... you weren't the first lady to wear that in here. But it conveyed power. And so will this. What I need you to do now... is break these 15 bricks with your forehead.
Robin: What?! But you didn't do a damn thing in your video. You just stood near a horse and sat on a motorcycle.
Barney: That's because I'm a man. You're a woman. The assumption is that you can't do anything. But you have to prove society wrong.
Robin: I can't break 15 bricks with my forehead.
Barney: Robin, it's not 1950 anymore. Yes, you can.
