Barney: Look, mom, there's something I have to tell you, something I should have told you a long time ago. Tyler is dying, and Betty said that when he goes she's gonna off herself. So that's all probably going to go down pretty soon.
Lily: Barney, check it, three blond babies drinking bad decision juice at eight o'clock.
Marshall: Where is Barney going? Ted: Yeah. We're not even in Manhattan anymore. Where's this girl live? Robin: We're talking about a woman who's gotten Barney to commit. I'm guessing Narnia.
Lily: Wait, Barney, hold on. Where are you going? Barney: Nowhere. (he pauses) The beach. It's winter. Laser tag. Home. Shut up! You're going somewhere.
(Talking about Barney's choices for heroes in films) Robin: I got one: Terminator? Barney: What is the name of the movie, Robin? Who among us didn't shed a tear when his little red eye went out at the end, and he didn't get to kill those people?

When the gang is following Barney on his way to meet his "girlfriend," they wonder out loud where his mystery girlfriend could live. Robin jokes that for the girl to be able to get Barney to commit, she must live in Narnia. Narnia is the mystical world created by C.S. Lewis for his fantasy novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe that the main characters enter via a portal in the wardrobe.
Barney, talking about the actor playing his son's poor abilities, says, "Call me crazy, but child actors were better in the '80s," slyly referring to Neil Patrick Harris' own career. This is accompanied by sound-alike music to the theme of his show, Doogie Howser, MD.
