Quote from Barney

Barney: Wow, you're a natural, Dad.
Robin Sr.: You know, I love Robin. And her sister's okay, I guess. But there's something nice about finally having, a son.
Barney: A s... [choked up] ... Cristalli twins, nine o'clock! Now make like your mommy's ovum and split!
Robin Sr.: Solid biology joke, B-dawg.
Both: Woof, woof!

Quote from Marshall

Future Ted: [v.o.] Now, I'll admit, to the untrained eye, a few of my packing rulings may have seemed arbitrary.
Ted: "Let's Go Italy"? Triangle. Triangle, let's go Italy. [cut] A gorilla suit and a blonde wig. Have you used either of these in the last year?
[flashback to a person in a gorilla suit beating their chest at the bedroom door. Marshall is revealed to be tied up in bed wearing a blonde wig:]
Marshall: [high-pitched voice] Please, Queen Kong, be gentle.
[present:]
Marshall: Nope, haven't used those.
Lily: I don't think those even belong to us.

Quote from Marshall

Lily: Okay, here's an easy one. A leaky, ten-year-old beanbag chair covered in beer, bong water and fossilized Cool Ranch Dorito fingerprints.
Ted: Italy.
Marshall: Vieni ancora per Fudge Grande?
Ted: Guys, this chair has been here forever. You gotta take it with you. Italy.
Marshall: Ted, Italy doesn't need something that is wrinkled, red and leaky, and smells like booze and narcotics. They've already got former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Lily: [laughs] I don't know who that is.

Quote from Ted

Ted: All rulings are final.
Lily: Okay, why are things that we like getting "Triangled" and crap you like sneaks through?
Ted: Like what?
Marshall: That old 50-pound karaoke machine.
Ted: Come on! We sang in the New Year in '02 on this thing, remember? We were Destiny's Child! And since I was Beyonce, I'm pretty sure I get final say here, so...
Marshall: Oh, we were not your backup singers, bitch. We were a group.
Ted: I'm sorry, are you guys married to Jay-Z, or am I married to Jay-Z? Italy. [feedback]

Quote from Barney

Barney: Wow. The way you used that kid having an asthma attack as a human shield? That took my breath away. Okay, next, I'll be point guy and you lay down cover. So I'm...
Robin Sr.: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... are you suggesting that I will not be point guy?
Barney: [laughs] Look, if Michael Jordan's healthy, you don't let Scottie Pippen run the offense. [off Robin Sr's confusion] Oh, you're from Canada, right. If... how do I put this? If Wayne Gretzky's healthy, you don't let, uh, François... What I'm saying is: hockey is stupid and I'm point guy.

Quote from Robin

Robin: Where are you, you son of a bitch?!
Woman: Look away, kids, she's about to pee.
Robin: What...? I am not some animal. I peed 20 minutes ago and I buried it neatly because I am a lady! [spits]

Quote from Marshall

Lily: Okay, stop! Every time he lands, that chair farts out ten-year-old Dorito dust.
Marshall: Yeah, it's the chair.

Quote from Ted

Marshall: All right, buddy. You win. Italy.
Ted: Really?
Lily: Yeah. We asked you to be the judge here and we gotta trust your opinion.
Marshall: She's right. And with all the traveling that we'll be doing, we could probably use a couple of your hands-free belt satchels.
Ted: You said they were lame.
Lily: I hate to admit it, but they actually sound useful. Could you buy us a couple?
Ted: Two hands-free belt satchels, coming right up. Oh, and don't worry, I'll get cool colors so you guys don't look like whatever the Spanish term really is for "Fanny Pack Dork."

Quote from Barney

[Barney and Robin Sr. address their laser tag teams of young boys:]
Barney: Men, it's us versus them. Our actions here today will echo through eternity... Stand up straight, Kaden!
Robin Sr.: I only have one rule, you worthless maggots: We all respect each other.
Barney: I only have one rule: For every three tens you bang, throw a bone to a five. They're grateful and hard-working and let's face it, sometimes you just want to lay there.
Boy: What's that got to do with Laser Tag?
Barney: Everything!
Robin Sr.: ...and we will prevail, even if it takes all night! Tanner.
Tanner: I have to be home by 4:00.
Robin Sr.: [laser gun zaps] Anyone else have any scheduling issues?
Barney: You can take down anyone on their team, but I want the big man for myself.
Boy: What's your beef with oldie?
Barney: He's... my father.
Kai: Father-in-law.
Barney: Shut up, Kai.

Quote from Barney

[Barney and Robin Sr. address their laser tag teams]
Robin Sr.: All right, here's the bottom line, cockroaches. There's no end in sight and we've got no provisions. If it comes down to it, I need a volunteer to let the rest of us... eat him.
Boy: Barney's team seems way more fun.
Robin Sr.: Nonsense.
Barney: Candy for everyone! Okay, Team Animal House, who wants to try a cigar?
Kids: Yeah!
Robin Sr.: I'm not saying we're gonna start with your face or anything, but is there seriously no one herewilling to give up a hand or a foot?
