Marshall Quote #1158
Quote from Marshall in Platonish
[flashback:]
Marshall: Robin has changed her mind.
Ted: No, Robin doesn't change her mind.
Marshall: Except that she does. Remember she used to claim to hate white-guy funk bands? Yet, at the farewell performance of my band, The Funk, the Whole Funk and Nothing but the Funk, there's Robin, nodding her head and shouting out requests for "Give Up the Funk."
Ted: I think she was nodding in response to my question, "Do you want to leave soon?" And she was legitimately suggesting that you give up the funk.

Robin: Excuse me, hi. I'm Ryan Gosling's personal assistant. He saw you as you were walking in, and he sent me over to tell you to wait here. Be cool. This is real. Okay? But listen. Ryan is super shy. I know. Heh-heh. Which means if he comes in here and sees you talking to some other guy, he's gonna turn right around and leave. Nod if you understand.

Robin: Redhead at the bar.
Barney: Challenge accepted!
[later at MacLaren's:]

Woman: Get away from me!
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.
Lily: You and me.
Barney: Don't make me laugh, Lily. You want to hit this so hard. Seriously, she's playing footsies with me as l... Ow! No, I'm talking about Marshall and Robin. [v.o.] Marshall and Robin wouldn't hook up even if this happened.
[fantasy, Lily runs into MacLaren's with a bomb strapped to her chest as Marshall and Robin talk:]
Lily: Marshall! Robin! If you guys don't full-on make out in the next 20 minutes, they're gonna blow me up and everyone in this bar!
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...
[back:]
Barney: And the only survivor was me, because I was upstairs banging Ted's mom. What? Get that blond girl's phone number? Challenge accepted.
