Lily: I love you.
Marshall: That's fifty.
Lily: Oh, yeah! (they kiss) -
Lily: (working on her reasons-to-have sex list) I'm stuck. I can't think of the last two.
Marshall: (reading over her shoulder) "To reestablish good behavior, like shaving and dental hygiene?" Now you're conditioning me? Well, that's great! That explains why I always get an erection when I floss! -
Lily: How can you be excited about this? Mitch slept with Robin, who you claim to be in love with!
Barney: Lily, this is bigger than me and Robin! I mean, I've been working for years with my disguises and my gadgets...I'm like Batman. But this Mitch is like Superman. He just rips off his clothes, and he's good to go.
Lily: What kind of gadgets are we talking about? -
Robin: (reasons to have sex) He said he loves you, but you're not ready to say it back. Lily: 43. Ted: Wingman diving on a friend grenade sex. Lily: 44. Barney: The condoms are about to expire. Lily: 45. Wow, this is getting a little hard. Barney: 46. Lily: Oh! 47, you drop a Cheeto in his lap and when you went to pick it up he thought you were making a move so you just went with it!

-
Ted: He may not fit society's definition of a hero, but he is the hero I needed, the hero who helped me recover from the disaster of my failed almost-marriage and get back into the game. He lives in the shadows. Is he a dream? Truth? Fiction? Damnation? Salvation? He is all these things and none of them. He is... the Naked Man.

ADD ALLUSIONS-

The ending of the episode is similar to that of Christopher Nolan's 2008 film, The Dark Knight, where Commissioner Gordon provides a narration of how Batman is the hero Gotham deserves, but doesn't need.
