Marshall Quote #1125
Quote from Marshall in The Broken Code
Marshall: [over video chat] Now, although not expressly stated in the Bro Code, a weird moment between a bro and his bro's fiancee is, in my bro-pinion, a violation.
Ted: No.
Barney: Yes.
Marshall: However, Ted was helping Robin as a friend. Therefore holding her hand isn't necessarily a weird moment.
Barney: No.
Ted: Yes.
Marshall: That being said, if we decide that holding any friend's hand is weird then, yes, Ted did break the Bro Code. So the question is this: If Ted had gone to the park and held Barney's hand, would it have been weird?
Barney: Yes?
Ted: No?
[later, Barney and Ted hold hands at the beach as they sit in a circle with Marshpillow]
Ted: See? It's not weird at all.

‘The Broken Code’ Quotes
Quote from Barney
Marshall: [over video chat] To resolve this, I really need to parse the text of the Bro Code.
Ted: Too bad Marshall doesn't have a copy.
Marshall: Actually, I do. They were in the seat-back pockets of my flight in place of the safety cards.
Barney: I'm also pleased to announce the Bro Code is now available in select airlines across the country. And Lufthansa. Der Bro Code is, like, huge in Germany.
Quote from Barney
Ted: So you are mad about me and Robin holding hands.
Barney: Of course I'm mad, Ted. Holding hands is like the fourth grade equivalent of banging. Well, in your case, 12th grade. Self-five. You broke the Bro Code.
Ted: No, I did not. I only went to help Robin as a friend because you didn't show up. I did not break the Bro Code.
Barney: It's in the text: "A bro shall not have a weird moment with another bro's fiancee."
Ted: Well, too bad we're in Farhampton and can't actually check.
Barney: I'm pleased to announce the Bro Code has replaced the Gideons' Bible at select hotels throughout the country.
Quote from Barney
Barney: It's in here somewhere. It has to be. Damn it. I should've done these in alpha-bro-tical order.
Ted: Who cares about the Bro Code? It's just some stupid book you made up.
Barney: [gasps] How dare you? The Bro Code has been around for centuries. Nay... whatever's more than centuries.
Ted: Please don't launch into a fake history lesson.
Barney: The Bro Code can trace its lineage all the way back to Broses himself.
[historical fantasy:]
Broses: Article 1: Bros before ho's.
[present:]
Ted: Okay, I see what you're doing. You can't prove I broke the Code, so you're making up stories.
Barney: This sacred text was eventually brought to the New World in 1776 by none other than Christopher Brolumbus.
[historical fantasy:]
Christopher Brolumbus: Article 62: A bro who calls dibs first has dibs. Oh? Dibs.
[present:]
Barney: And that's why he got to bang Pocahontas.
Ted: Pocahontas was with John Smith.
Barney: Maybe according to the hotel register. Whatever Mrs. Brolumbus didn't know couldn't hurt her, right? Except maybe that New World syphilis, but I digress.
