Older Ted: Here's the thing about mistakes. Sometimes, even when you know something's a mistake, you gotta make it anyway. edit »
Lily: There are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to know that it really is a mistake is to make that mistake and go, "Yup, that was a mistake". So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake because then you'll go about your whole life not knowing whether it was a mistake or not. edit »
Robin: Need a ride, cowboy?
Ted: Sorry, I don't get in vans with strangers.
Robin: Hmmm, too bad. I've got candy.
Ted: Candy! edit »
Robin: I thought it might look cool. Of course, my colorist took "highlights" to mean I want to look like a tiger. Hence the hat.
Ted: Oh, I got to see this!
Robin: No way!
Ted: Please? I bet it doesn't look that bad. I bet it looks grrrrrrrrrrrreat! edit »
Waitress: Be careful, the plate is very hot!
Ted: Oh go on, touch it.
Lily: Ahh. Sweet damn, that�s a hot plate! edit »

When Robin tells Ted she got highlights, Ted asks "For your dental practice?," which refers to the magazine Highlights, which is typically seen in family-oriented waiting rooms. edit »
After Robin complains that a hairdresser took adding highlights to mean, "look like a tiger," one of Ted's follow-up puns includes the use of "grrrreat!" He does so in a manner imitative of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes' animated mascot Tony the Tiger, who uses the phrase "they're grrrreat!" to describe the cereal. edit »
