      Ted: He did just fine!

      Lily: I don't even know how to respond to that.

Marshall: Visitivity!
    • Ted: (recorded, as Dr. X) Remember, Dining Hall, Monday midnight, another Dr. X happening... I'll be there, because X marks the spot-ot-ot-ot-ot-ot. Marshall: If you think people liked your show, they did not-ot-ot-ot.
    • Robin: I can't break 15 bricks with my forehead. Barney: Robin, it's not 1950 anymore. Yes, you can.

      Marshall: Yeah, don't step over it, just go right for the throat!
