Barney is afraid the gang is falling apart when Ted blows off "Robots vs. Wrestlers" to attend an exclusive party.

Quote from Marshall

Lily: Let's get out of here. Where's Ted?
Barney: Yeah.
Marshall: I know how to find him. Just give me one minute.
[Marshall hits a gong]
Marshall: Gongs, right? They're louder than you think.
Jefferson Van Smoot: Young man, that gong is a 500-year-old relic that hasn't been struck since W.S. Gilbert hit it at the London premiere of The Mikado in 1885.
Marshall: Ooh. His wife's a 500-year-old relic that hasn't been struck since W.S. Gilbert hit it at the London premiere of The Mikado in 1885.

Quote from Ted

Ted: Such a great party! Such a great party!
Marshall: Yeah, totally. Ted, it's time to go. It's Robots vs. Wrestlers o'clock!
Marissa: Oh. Ted? There you are. We'll be blind taste testing French whites in a bit. It should be a hoot and a half.
Ted: Well, I decant miss that. [both laugh]

Quote from Barney

Ted: Guys, listen. I'm having fun here, so I think I'm gonna skip Robots vs. Wrestlers.
Barney: [gasps] But, Ted, you've never missed Robots vs. Wrestlers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no... Ted, this isn't happening. First, Robin ditches us and now you! And for these stuffy, pretentious snoots!

Quote from Barney

Ted: Actually, I kind of like these stuffy, pretentious snoots. They don't make fart noises every time I open my mouth. Well, look, I'm gonna stay. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Lily: Yeah, come on, Barney. It's just one night. It doesn't mean anything.
Barney: Oh! It means everything. Ted, if you don't come to Robots vs. Wrestlers, it's the end of our friendship.
Ted: I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Barney: Fine. Then you are out of our gang forever. You can re-apply in two years. Marshall, Lily. Let's go watch wrestlers fight robots. [exits, returns] So embarrassing. I forgot something. [hits gong]

Quote from Barney

Marshall: Best tradition ever.
Barney: Don't humor me, Marshall. Let's face it, the gang is over. Ted's gone, Robin's gone. We might as well just go our separate ways.
Lily: God, Barney, enough with the abandonment issues. Ted's allowed to have a life outside of the group. We all are.
Barney: Wait a minute. Why are you saying that all of a sudden? Oh, God, you're pregnant!
Lily: No!
Barney: Oh, God, you already had the baby! It's right behind me, isn't it?
Lily: No, you idiot. It's just... Eventually, we're all gonna move on. It's called growing up.

Quote from Marshall

Barney: But can you at least promise me that you won't get pregnant for another year?
Lily: Can't make that promise.
Barney: [alarmed] You can't?
Marshall: [elated] You can't?

Quote from Ted

Ted: Mmm. Citrus and honeycomb flavors with crisp acidity. It's a Sauv blanc, Loire Valley. Town of Sancerre.
Jefferson Van Smoot: Correct again! Bravo, boy.

Quote from Barney

Barney: No, you can't have kids! You don't want to bring a child into this crazy, messed up world.
Marshall: I don't know. The world seems pretty awesome right now, Barney.
Barney: Okay, Lily, you leave me no choice. If you have a daughter, the day, nay, the minute she turns 18, gong!
Lily: Oh, God!

Quote from Ted

Ted: Well, of course, hell is an interesting concept, isn't it? I've always loved to imagine it as Dante did in The Divine Comedy. If you'll allow me. In the original Italian. [speaks Italian]
Ted: [inner monologue] I can't believe this. I'm reciting The Divine Comedy in its original Italian, and nobody's making fart noises! Wow, this is weird. I've never gotten this far. You know, I actually sound kind of douchey. My God. I'm out of control. Listen to me. I'm completely unleashed. I'm the biggest douche on the planet.
Ted: [continues speaking Italian]
Ted: [inner monologue] I wish somebody would stop me.
Future Ted: [v.o.] And then, somebody did.
Ted: [cell phone beeps] Scusi un attimo.

Quote from Barney

Barney: Rule number 83, if anything that comes out of that baby gets on one of my suits, I get to touch Lily's boobs.
Marshall: Dude, what is it with you and my wife's boobs tonight?
Barney: Hey, hey! I don't make the rules.
