Ted Quote #1367
[flashback:]
Hammond Druthers: [answers the phone] Ah. Hello, partner. Boy, that just sounds right, doesn't it?
Ted: Yeah, actually, Mr. Druthers, my answer is no.
Hammond Druthers: What? No. Ted, come on.
Ted: I'm sorry. I still have things to do here in New York.
Hammond Druthers: I am going to build a tower of glass and melt you with it.
Ted: No, you won't.
Hammond Druthers: No, I won't. But know this. After today, this offer is gone forever. When I hang up this phone,
you and I are done. The door is closed.
Ted: Okay.
Hammond Druthers: The door's always open, Ted. If you change your mind, just call me back, okay? Bye. [hangs up] I think he's coming around.

Quote from Barney
[flashback:]
Barney: Please, Ted and Robin are not platonic. Just like me and Robin are not platonic. Just like no two single people in the world are ever platonic. Symposium. Two people are only platonic if in the next 20 minutes, there is no chance of them hooking up. Truth is, I only know of one genuinely platonic relationship.

Marshall: Oh, God, no. Anyone but Robin.
Robin: I really don't want to do this.
Lily: Guys, we have no time. Just do it!
[19 minutes later:]
Marshall: I'm sorry, baby. I just... I can't do it.
Lily: Aw...
