  • Barney: Somebody's gotta nail the receptionist.
    Ted: No, I like Stella.
    Barney: Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there, Ted. Your little Stella is not so perfect.
    Ted: What do you mean?
    Barney: I went down there and checked her out for myself. (leans forward) Yeah. And while I was down there, I discovered that she had a secret. A terrible, terrible secret.
    Ted: (panicky) What? What is it?
    (the music swells, and Barney stares at Ted.)
    Barney: Hold on, I gotta pee. edit »
  • Barney: Okay, I'm back. (turns to Robin) What's going on at work?
    Ted: What's the big secret!?
    Barney: Oh! Oh, right.
    --(flashback)
    Barney: Hi, I'd like to see Dr. Zinman, please.
    Abby: Sure, what's it regarding?
    Barney: I just want to see her. One look at her. See what she looks like.
    Abby: I-I don't understand.
    Barney: I'm sorry, did I accidentally oprima numero dos when I called? Do you SPEAK ENGLISH? I WANT TO SEE HER!
    Abby: Sir, please, don't yell at me. Because when people yell at me, I have a tendency to start crying. (Barney is heard yelling over the phone) .. Please don't do it.. Please. edit »
  • Barney: At first, she seemed great. Beautiful. Smart. Way out of your league. But then I overheard this conversation:
    (Abby walks in)
    Abby: Dr. Zinman?
    Stella: Abby, did my hypnotherapist call yet?
    Abby: No.
    Stella: Ugh, when am I going to kick this folliculaphilia?
    --(present)
    (Barney makes a "there you go" gesture)

    Ted: (stunned) "Folliculaphilia"?
    Barney: Folliculaphilia.
    Ted: What is that?
    Barney: Ted, you're perfect woman can only be attracted to men with mustaches.
    Ted: (laughing) That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's not real.
    Barney: You're right, Ted. I'm just making that up.
    Ted: I know that you are, because there is no such thing.
    Robin: .. I got it a little bit. edit »
  • Stella: Ah the butterfly tramp stamp, my bread and butter. So I'm guessing that the real stories involves a bad break up and some booze, unless it's a gang tattoo in which case I think it's time to find a new gang.
    Ted: Ah no, I just thought it would be cool to get a caterpillar tattoo, then a few weeks went by and all of the sudden. edit »
  • Robin: I hate to say this, but I think it's Nail The Receptionist time.
    Ted: I'm not gonna nail the receptionist.
    Barney: Ted, every little boy wants to grow up to nail the doctor or the lawyer. Somebody's got to nail the receptionist. edit »
  • Abby: He seemed so nice, but then he just kept toying with my emotions.

    Barney: Wow...This Ted guy sounds like a real jerk.

    (Abby nods)

    Barney: You know what your problem is? You're too sweet.

    Abby: Aren't you gonna see the doctor about that mole?

    Barney: Oh, yeah. Turns out it was just a raisin nut. (He flicks it off his hand)

    Abby: (Watches raisin and turns back to Barney)

    Barney: HEY! How would you like me to take you out to a fancy restaurant (Props head on hand) and then go on a shopping spree. Treat you the way you should be treated. Would that make you forget about that Ted-Monster?

    Abby: My Mom's wrong; there are nice guys in New York.

    Barney: We just have to go by my hotel room first. My bed was broken. I just have to make sure they fixed it.

    Abby: What if it's fixed? Can we have sex, and then go shopping?

    Barney: I like you. edit »
