‘The Goat’
Season 3, Episode 17 - Aired April 28, 2008
After Barney sleeps with Robin he turns to Marshall to find a loophole in "The Bro Code" that would let him off the hook.
Quote from Marshall
Marshall: Where are they?! I'm getting a cramp.
Lily: Marshall, can we keep the goat?
Marshall: No.
Lily: But she's so cute and furry and soft.
Marshall: Yeah, and she also sheds, eats out of the garbage and can't control her bowels. Why don't we just call Duluth Mental Hospital and say my Uncle Linus can live with us?
Quote from Ted
Barney: Wait. How about this? Ted's probably broken this thing himself, right? And if he's broken the Bro Code, then I'm off the hook.
Marshall: I thought about that. And I gotta say, Ted has upheld this thing time and time again. For example, article 87: "A bro shall at all times say yes."
[flashback to Ted and Barney with a woman at MacLaren's:]
Woman: So he saved you from an avalanche?
Ted: Yes.
Woman: And he carried you six miles to safety on his broken leg?
Ted: Yes.
Woman: And you're a pre-op transsexual nightclub singer who used to be a member of the Russian mob?
Ted: Da.
