Robin Quote #446
Marshall: She wasn't jealous at all!
Ted: Of course she wasn't jealous. That's the whole dynamic of your relationship.
Marshall: What's that supposed to mean?
Robin: Well, it's like this, my man. Every good relationship has a reacher and a settler.
Ted: Exactly. One person reaches for someone out of their league, the other one settles for someone below theirs.
Marshall: I did not settle for Lily. Okay, yes, she's a little short, and true, my mom says she doesn't have
the hips to birth an Eriksen child, but it... Oh, my God, you guys think I'm the reacher.
Robin: That's why Lily's not jealous. The settler is never jealous of the reacher because where's the reacher gonna go? The settler, Lily, is the best thing that the reacher, Marshall, is ever gonna get.
