Ted: (To the kid stuck in the crane machine, after sprinting from his apartment to "casually" run into Robin on purpose) You just had to have that toy, did you? Couldn't play the game like everybody else?
Kid: You're all sweaty!
Ted: (turning away with a gulp, because Robin is within earshot) Cute kid! (edit) Ted: You know it's so funny I ran into you. We're having a party next Friday if you'd like to swing by, but, you know, whatever.
Robin: Oh, I'm going back home next weekand. Too bad it's not tonight.
Ted: It is, it's tonight. This Friday. Did I say next Friday? Sorry, 'cause I've been saying next Friday all week. But yeah it's tonight; the party is tonight. But, you know, whatever. (edit) Lily: Hey I'm just sitting here. Wearing my ring. Me beautiful ring. Kinda makes wearing other stuff seem wrong... my shirt. Kinda don't wanna wear my shirt any more. Or my underwear. Oh, that's right, I'm not wearing any.
Marshall: (Stops working and looks at Lily) No underwear?
Lily: Not even slightly. (edit) Ted (to Robin): My friends are gonna love you. Like you. You know, as a friend... (edit) Robin: You can't turn off the way you feel.
Ted: (pantomimes turning a dial on his chest) Click. Off. Let's make out.
Robin: What?
Ted: What, that was the off switch! And I turned it off... I mean, yes, sure, I wanna fall in love, get married, blah blah blah, but... on the other hand, you, me... the roof...
Robin: There's no off switch.
Ted: There's an off switch. And it's off.
Robin: (leaning in) No it's not.
Ted: Yes, it is.
Robin: No, it's not.
Ted: Yes. It is...
(they kiss passionately)
Ted: ...No it's not... You were right. There's no off switch... God, I wish there was an off switch! (edit)

The couch that the future kids are sitting on has changed. In the first episode it was a modern black leather couch. In this and later episodes it is a Chesterfield style couch. (edit) Recurring elements introduced in this episode:

* Barney making up statistics
* Marshall calling himself "the kid" (edit) This is the only episode to date where the word "awesome" has not been used. (edit)

Barney: You were so right about the roof. The roof! The roof... is... on.... fire, Ted!

This references the following lyrics from "The Roof Is on Fire" by Rockmaster Scott & The Dynamic Three:
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
(We don't need no water, let the motherf***er burn) (edit) Marshall: Alright, we threw two parties. Everybody had fun. Everybody wanged, everybody chunged.

This is a reference to the 1986 song Everybody Have Fun Tonight by Wang Chung. (edit) Ted throwing a party specifically for Robin:

Resembles in the novel The Great Gatsby when he throws party for only one girl and doesn't entertain his guests. Marshall even calls Ted "Gatsby" at the beginning of the first party. (edit)
