Lily Quote #337
Quote from Lily in The Front Porch
Lily: All I tried to do was get you guys to talk about your issues. I didn't know I was feeding you the words that would lead to your breakup.
[flashback to Lily and Ted talking in the kitchen:]
Lily: Hey, here's a fun question, just for fun. Where do you see yourself in five years?
[flashback to Lily and Robin at MacLaren's:]
Lily: You know what's fun? Fun questions. Where do you see yourself in five years?
[flashback to the next night, Ted and Robin at a restaurant:]
Ted: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Robin: Where do you see yourself?
[cutting back and forth between Lily talking to them individually, Ted and Robin at the restaurant:]
Lily: Not to put words in your mouth, but you probably want to be married.
Ted: I probably want to be married.
Lily: You probably want to be in Tokyo or Paris.
[at the restaurant:]
Robin: I probably want to be in Argentina.
Ted: Argentina?
Robin: Or Tokyo or Paris.
Ted: We have an expiration date, don't we?

Quote from Lily
Ted: Who else?
Lily: Remember that weird sci-fi girl who wanted you to propose after, like, two months? You barely even liked her, but you were still thinking about it, so...
[flashback to Ted and Marshall, dressed as Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca, in line outside the movie theater. A woman in a Darth Vader costume approaches them.]
Lily: Listen, Ted, you're great, and this is so difficult, but I think we're looking for different things. So, live long and prosper. Or whatever.
[present:]
Ted: That was you? This is insane!
Quote from Marshall
Barney: So you're this comfy every night, and Lily still has sex with you?
Marshall: Yeah. That's what marriage is all about, man, unconditional love. You can wear whatever you want and still get laid.
Barney: Tell me more about being married.
Marshall: Well, sometimes, when you're married, you wake up to the smell of breakfast already on the table.
Barney: And coffee, too?
Marshall: And coffee, too. Sometimes, she'll even put out a vase of freshly cut flowers.
Barney: I love flowers. And sometimes, when you're worried you've made all the wrong decisions in life and you're not nearly the man you want to be, what does she do then?
Marshall: Well, she tells you that you're great and it's all gonna be okay.
Barney: That's wonderful. And she'll help you find other girls to have sex with?
Marshall: I mean, I guess. Maybe if you agreed upon that beforehand, yeah. [Barney's asleep] Mm, little guy had a big day. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Sweet dreams, slugger.
Quote from Ted
Ted: And I realized, maybe it shouldn't matter what my friends think of my girlfriend, but it sure as hell matters what my girlfriend thinks of my friends.
Robin: Wow. So you ended it?
Ted: Yeah. So if you want to be my plus one, Lily's a damn good cook.
Robin: Mmm. Beef pot pie, mac and cheese, homemade buttermilk biscuits.
Ted: Well, no wonder Marshall dies at 68.
