Quotes 

• Gael : Gael.

  Ted Mosby : I'm sorry. Gayle?

  Gael : Gael.

  Barney Stinson : Kyle?

  Gael : Gael.

  Marshall Eriksen : ...Girl?

  Robin Scherbatsky : It's pronounced Guy-el.

• Ted Mosby : [Ted is unaware that he has a butterfly tattoo on his lower back]  As you can see, I do just fine on my own. I don't need a baby-sitter.

  Barney Stinson : See. All this time, I thought you need a wingman to fly, but the truth is you... you've got your own wings now.

  Ted Mosby : Hmm.

  Barney Stinson : Since you and Robin split, you've been gestating. Growing in your cocoon. And last night... you burst out of that cocoon... , like a majestic, uh... gosh, what is it that comes out of a cocoon? I was always bad at science.

  Lily Aldrin : [to Marshall]  He's gonna say it.

  Ted Mosby : A butterfly?

  [Everyone laughs] 

  Ted Mosby : What?

  Barney Stinson : Nothing, buddy.

  [Barney hits Ted's tattoo] 

  Ted Mosby : Ow! Why did that hurt so...? Oh my God!

  [Looks in mirror] 

  Ted Mosby : I have a tattoo!

  Barney Stinson : Oh, that's not a tattoo. That, dear boy, is a tramp stamp.

• Amy : Who's the suit?

  Ted Mosby : Hum. This is Barney. Barney, Amy.

  Barney Stinson : I'm not gonna remember that. Now, if you'll excuse me, Random Chick From Earlier Tonight, as you shall henceforth be known. Ted and I have a schedule to keep.

  Amy : Oh, well. You can check out off 08:54, dress up like a dork and bother the cool kids. Beat it, nerd.

  Barney Stinson : Wow. Wow. Great stuff, Tommy Lee. See what you don't understand is, I'm Ted wingman. It's a sacred bond, much stronger that any... They're making out again!

• Ted Mosby : Now, here's the thing. It sucks that you came back from Argentina with someone as awesome as Gael. And I know I have no right to be upset at you. We're broken up, life goes on, whatever. But you know what ? We-we never did this. We-we had this polite breakup with no irrational yelling and that's just wrong.

  [Rises voice] 

  Ted Mosby : So I'm gonna yell irrationally for a while and you're just gonna have to stand there and deal with it, okay?

  Robin Scherbatsky : If you feel like you need to do that, then...

  Ted Mosby : [Yells]  I think I do! I really think I do! So now, I'm yelling!

  Robin Scherbatsky : You shaved.

  Robin Scherbatsky : [Yells]  I did.

  Robin Scherbatsky : I like the beard.

  Ted Mosby : [Still yelling]  I liked it too, but it was getting kind of hot. Maybe in the winter, I'll grow it back out!

  [Normal voice] 

  Ted Mosby : Okay, I'm done.

• Ted Mosby : [At the Tattoo Parlor]  And underneath, it should say "I win". And then it should have flames coming out the bottom.

  Amy : Oh, fire. We should start a fire.

  Ted Mosby : After this maybe. Oh, man, this is going to be legen... wait for it...

  Narrator : And that's all I remember.

• Ted Mosby : I like your tats.

  Amy : Thanks. You can play with them if you want. Hundred percent real.

  Ted Mosby : No, your tats. Your toos. Your tattoos.

  Amy : Oh.

  [laughs] 

  Amy : Thanks.

• Barney Stinson : [Barney is trying to get Ted to go out after his break-up with Robin]  Ted Mosby, suit up, 'cause here's the plan. There's a Miss Nassau County pageant. We'll pretend to be judges and, yes, our votes are for sale.

  Ted Mosby : I'm not ready.

  Barney Stinson : [Again]  Finish line of a woman 10K. Salty girls on an endorphin high who just want to lie down. Yeah!

  Ted Mosby : I'm not ready.

  Barney Stinson : [And again]  Female acrobats from Montreal. Super flexible. We're going to get "Cirque de So-Laid". What up?

  Ted Mosby : Barney, come on, we've covered this.
