Cobie Smulders: Robin Scherbatsky

Quotes 

• Robin Scherbatsky : So kids, I settled in for Christmas alone. I appreciated that Ted wanted to cheer me up, but honestly, it wasn't necessary. So I can't have kids.

  [scoffs] 

  Robin Scherbatsky : Big deal, this way, there's no one to hold me back in life, no one to keep me from traveling when I wanna travel, no one getting in the way of my career. If you wanna know the truth of it, I'm glad you guys aren't real.

  [Kids and couch fade away to snow] 

  Robin Scherbatsky : Real glad.

• Lily Aldrin : [Robin told the gang she can never be a "pole vaulter", instead of saying she is infertile]  Are you okay?

  Robin Scherbatsky : Yeah, yeah. I guess this, erm... this "pole vaulting thing" is finally hitting me.

  Lily Aldrin : I don't get it Robin, did you really wanna be a pole vaulter?

  Robin Scherbatsky : No. No, I was, eh... I was always adamantly against having erm... a, a "pole vaulting career", even though, it's what most women want.

  Lily Aldrin : Most women wanna be a pole vaulter?

  Robin Scherbatsky : In Canada, it's very big up there. You know, it's, it's meet a nice guy, get married, "vault some poles". But I never wanted that. Of course, it's, it's one thing not to want something, it's another to be told you can't have it. I guess it's, it's just nice knowing that you... you could, some day, do it, if you changed your mind. But now, all of a sudden, that door is closed.

  Lily Aldrin : [Not getting it]  What about the one where you ski and shoot, at the same time? That seems like something you'd be good at.

• Robin Scherbatsky : I am pregnant.

  Barney Stinson : Are you sure you are not just getting fat?
