Quote from Robin

Robin: Okay, Lily, I know this isn't how you imagined it, but I want you to know that I am here for you and I am rock solid! Oh, I can see its head. [faints]

Quote from Lily

Dr. Sonya: All right, Lily, legs up! We push now, yes?!
Lily: I can't. Marshall's not here yet.
Dr. Sonya: Lily! If you don't push, I will shove that baby up your throat and pull it out of your mouth!

Quote from Barney

Marshall: Please, sir, all you have to do is take the next exit to Manhattan. You'll be back on the road in 20 minutes.
Bus Driver: I already told you, I'm not allowed to stop.
Barney: Sir, this man is having a baby tonight. And instead of going to Saint Marcus Hospital, we're going to Buffalo. And I've seen women from there. The city's aptly named.

Quote from Barney

Barney: Look, I'm a screwup. I had something special with this girl Quinn, and I ruined it. But this guy, he's done everything right. He's been loving and devoted since he was 18 years old. There are only a few truly great people on this planet, and he is one of them. He deserves to be at the birth of his son. So... what do you say?
Bus Driver: Unless there's an emergency, I'm not allowed to stop, so sit down, watch Cocoon 2 and shut up.
Barney: I'm sorry, buddy, I tried.
Future Ted: [v.o.] And then, something wonderful happened.
Old Woman #1: I'm having a heart attack!
Old Man: I'm having a heart attack!
Old Woman #2: I'm having a heart attack! And my doctor is at Saint Marcus Hospital!
Old Man: So is mine!
Old Woman #1: Mine, too. And my son is head of Cardiology.
All: We know!

Quote from Robin

Robin: I don't know why I passed out. I have delivered 12 perfectly healthy babies, and one of them was even human.
Ted: Well, it's different when it's someone you love. I mean, that head was coming out of your best friend.
Robin: Oh, stop. I'm feeling woozy again.
Ted: Salt lick?

Quote from Robin

Robin: Look, um, I know things have been weird between us the last few months, but... Marshall and Lily are having a baby.
Ted: Yeah.
Robin: And, you know, I want this baby to be born into a world where we're okay. So, friends?
Ted: I love you, Robin. Kidding.
Robin: You...
Ted: Friends.

Quote from Barney

Barney: Guys, great news from down the hall. One dollar, two bags of gummy bears! It's like, I don't even care what happens for the rest of the day.
