Marshall: I didn't get that at all. How could my inner goddess be so far off?
Lily: Oh, you'll get there, honey. Oprah wasn't built in a day.
Marshall: Uh-oh.
Lily: What?
Marshall: I kind of went rogue.
[flashback to Marshall talking with a group of women at MacLaren's:]
Marshall: Look, if you really want to have a baby, just stop taking the pill. [cut] You guys slept together at spring break three years ago. That means something. [cut] Loves show tunes, total shopaholic, not always pestering you for sex? Um, Clifford sounds like a keeper.

Robin: So, are you okay? What is this big, urgent thing that couldn't wait till tomorrow?
Ted: There's something I have to tell you. Um, I've thought about this a ton, and, um, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but...
[The camera turns around to reveal Ted is talking to Victoria:]
Ted: I'm not in love with Robin... but she's like family to me, and... I can't end that. So... can you accept that?
Victoria: I really hope you get her some day.

Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, it's no secret your Uncle Barney is a bit of a dog, and even though he loved me, I think he always wanted a wingman who was a bit of a dog, too. And in the fall of 2012... he found one.
[Barney walks past a male and female dog sitting on a building's stoop. He looks to the male dog and says:]
Barney: Respect.
Dog: [barks]

Ted: Hey, guys, thanks again for a great night last night. I say again, great night.
Lily: Ted, honey, it was not a great night.
Marshall: Ted, Lily and I noticed some things last night.
[flashback to Ted and Victoria with Lily and Marshall:]
Victoria: Hey, Ted, can you pass me a cracker?
Ted: Yeah.
Victoria: It's the least you can do, considering I left a guy at the altar for you. [both laugh]
Ted: Right, right?

Marshall: Seriously, based on last night, you and Victoria are headed for trouble.
[flashback:]
Victoria: So I got this kind of interesting job offer to run a bakery in Denver. But that's too crazy, though, right? Right?
Ted: Uh, yeah. The high altitude would affect the density of the pastries. I mean, talk about half-baked. [laughs] Man, this is a great night.

Robin: I'm gonna invite him over for dinner.
Nick: Okay, fine, but you'd better make sure he has a ticket. 'Cause it's all aboard the Chow-Chow Train!
Robin: Honey, I know it's hard coming up with a signature cooking catchphrase, but I don't think that's it.
Nick: I know, but how do you compete with "Bam!"? It just says it all.

Ted: Hey, can I ask you something? Um, Lily and Marshall think I'm missing all these hints you're dropping that you want a deeper commitment. I mean, you'd just come right out and tell me, right?
Victoria: Totally. I think I can be a little bit more direct than that.
Ted: Thank you.
Victoria: Oh, hey, I was cleaning my apartment today and I dug this up. [holds up wedding dress] Should I keep this wedding dress, or do you think I'll never, ever need it again?

Ted: So Lily and Marshall were right?
Victoria: Of course they're right. When a girl jumps in your car in a wedding dress, you can't act surprised to find out she wants to get married. Besides, we dated before, and that time counts. We just hit pause on the clock.
Ted: See, a lot of really smart people would argue the clock resets.
Victoria: It un-pauses, everybody knows that.

Barney: Sorry we're late. We just came from the tailor. Brover couldn't settle on a tie, so I just bought them all. You say no to that face.

Victoria: You know how I know that, Ted? Because we covered it in the "getting to know you" part of the relationship six years ago. Six years.
Ted: Then, what's holding us back?
Victoria: Call in the Mosby Boys, Ted. Let me know if they crack the case.
