Robin: I know your new place has had some problems with the slanted floor and the sewage treatment plant nearby, but you're going to turn it into a great home. Tell him, Lily.
Lily: It's a black hole where dreams go to die. I'm not moving, either!
-
Ted: My James Bond movies. Remember we watched them all in order and Lily spoke in that weird British accent for, like, a month?
Lily: (British accent) It was sophisticated.
-
"Old" Barney: In a few minutes, the young me from your time is going to come through that door. Now, Cindy, I know this sounds insane, but in order to save the planet, you need to sleep with him tonight.
Cindy: What? I...
"Old" Barney: Sleep with Barney Stinson tonight, in whatever way he wants it, or he won't be able to find the solution to global warming that saves the human race.
-
Robin: I'm moving to Japan. It took me a half hour to pack.
Lily: A half hour?
Robin: Well, it would have taken me 20 minutes, but a friend called me in tears.
-
Robin: Stella's not gonna let you keep half of this junk.
Ted: Why wouldn't she?
Lily: Oh, Ted, oh, sweetie. Okay, here's the thing that guys only learn after they move in with a woman. All of your stuff is stupid.

(at Marshall's Cat in the Hat hat intervention)
Robin: Dear Marshall,
I do not like that stupid hat.
I want to beat it... with a bat.
Or maybe stab it with a fork.
It makes you look like such a dork.
-
Lily: (with English accent) Cor blimey. This is a nice bloody surprise. What's this about, then?
Ted: Lily, it's about the weird fake English accent.
Lily: (with English accent) Bollocks.
-
Ted: (about planned intervention for him) What was it for? The Crocs? The hair product?
Marshall: Not Stella.
Ted: Oh, my God, this was about Stella.
Marshall: I just said, "not Stella," so maybe it was about your poor listening skills, Ted.
Ted: What?
Marshall: It's out of control, see?
-
Ted: Lily, come on, let's hear yours.
Lily: "Gilbert's reading skills have improved drastically since..." Wait, this is a letter I meant to send home with one of my kindergarteners.
(cut to other apartment)
Gilbert's mother: Gilbert, are things moving too fast between you and a girl named Stella?
Gilbert: I wish.
-
Ted: Robin, could I hear yours?
Robin: "Dear Ted, it's 'encyclo-pee-dia', not 'encyclo-pay-dia'. Why do you always say things in the most pretentious way possible? It makes you sound douchey—and that's 'douch-ey', not 'douch-ay'."
Ted: Yeah, you already read that one at my Pronunciation intervention. Where's the letter about Stella?
Robin: I didn't write one. I'm your ex-girlfriend. I figured anything I said on the subject would sound catty. Plus, I'm hotter than her, so who cares?
-
Robin: Barney, this is an intervention.
"Old" Barney: I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
Marshall: Enough with the "old man" bit.
"Old" Barney: What about the old sand pit?
Lily: Let it go.
"Old" Barney: "Let It Snow"? I love that old ditty!
Ted: I'm getting my flail.
"Old" Barney: You're setting sail?
-
Barney: (reading his letter) "Ted, I cannot stand idly by…"
Ted: You've just been carrying that around with you?
Barney: Please, Ted. (resumes reading) "Ted, I cannot stand idly by while you make the biggest mistake any man can make: getting married. Mark my words, this whole thing is going to go up in flames!" (his letter burns up) Oh, I did the flames cue too early! The point is, Ted, marriage is stupid! Every year there are a million new, hot, 22-year-olds walking into bars, and call me 'glass-half-full,' but I think they're getting dumber.
-
(Robin's drunk, acting 'Super-Canadian,' and holding a hockey stick)
Lily: Alright, Robin, give me the stick.
Robin: I'll give you summer teeth—some are here, some are there.
-
Old Barney: Now, listen to me, Cindy. I am Barney Stinson, and I am on an urgent mission from the future.
Cindy: From the future?
Old Barney: The future. And I can prove it to you. In exactly four seconds, the woman at that booth is going to slap that man, Urg-Ummm.
(Robin slaps Ted)
Ted: Ow, what the hell?
-
Girl at bar: How old are you?
"Old" Barney: 83, how old are you?
Girl at bar: 31.
"Old" Barney: Ugh. (walks away)
