Ted Quote #1229
Quote from Ted in The Final Page (Part 2)
Ted: Okay, why shouldn't I tell Robin?
Marshall: Because deep down some crazy part of you still thinks you're gonna wind up with her, and I agree.
Ted: Marshall.
Marshall: I'm sorry, I'm Team Tedward. Always have been, always will be. Now, listen. I want my best friend to be happy. And if Robin could mean happiness for you, then, dear God, why help her go after another man?
Ted: Because she might still be in love with him. To not tell her, to not give her that chance, it's... it's selfish.
Marshall: So be selfish.
Ted: I can't do that.
Marshall: Tell that to the onion rings we just "split."
Ted: [sighs] Robin is my friend.
Marshall: She's always been more than that and you know it. Now, as we speak, my wife is in a hotel room cheating on me... with herself. But I'm not leaving here until you promise not to say a word about this to Robin. Now repeat after me. "I..."
Ted: Well, I can do more at a time than "I."
Marshall: "I, Ted Mosby, promise to stop putting everyone else's interests ahead of my own, and for once in my life, do what's best for me."
Ted: I... Sorry, what was the rest of that?

Quote from Marshall
Marshall: Oh, I forgot the lullaby. Do you know Marvin's lullaby? We sing it to him every night.
[flashback to Marshall playing guitar and singing to Marvin with Lily adding percussion:]
Marshall: Night, night, little Marvin Stars twinkle for you [Lily plays chimes] The Dreamland train's a-chuggin' [Lily blows train whistle] All your dreams will come true And the horsie says, "Good night" [Lily plays wood scraper block] And the birdie says, "Good night" [Lily blows bird whistle] And the elephant says, "Good night" [Lily plays tuba] And the skeleton playing his own rib cage Says, "Good Night" [Lily plays xylophone] And the robot says, "Good night"
Lily: [uses a voice-changing megaphone] Good night.
Man: [o.s.] Enough with the damn music!
Marshall: [singing] And Mr. Nesbit says, "Good night" And the whole world says, "Good night" Take it, Mommy.
[Lily plays the violin]
Quote from Robin
Robin: I appreciate what you're doing. But I'm not chasing after Barney anymore. I just got done being crazy about all that. I mean, why would I want to throw myself back in that pit?
Ted: Because you're in love with him.
Robin: No, I'm not. I'm happy for him.
Ted: So, it doesn't bother you that Barney Stinson's gonna propose to another woman on top of the World Wide News building?
Robin: Wait, why the top of the World Wide News building?
Ted: I guess it's Patrice's favorite spot in the city.
Robin: Damn it, Patrice, that's my favorite spot in the city!
Ted: Whoa. [phone chimes] Ranjit says, "Whoa."
Quote from Ted
Ted: Look, I just appreciate you showing up at all on your big night away. I mean, Barney's not even gonna be there.
Marshall: What?
Robin: This is the biggest night of your career. Why isn't Barney coming?
Ted: I don't know. He said, "Legendary" and "Challenge accepted," and then he winked. "Wait for it," you know, all that stuff.
Marshall: That does sound like him.
