  Barney : Now look at me. Declawed, neutered. What was once my jungle is now my zoo and I am forced to mate with the same old lioness... again and again while families pay to watch.

  Ted : Yeah this metaphors really falling apart

  Barney : Put a bell around my neck and scratch my belly kids... for I am just a docile house cat now. Meow
