Barney: "Okay" is the name of a club. It's really exclusive. A friend of mine once stood outside for two hours and didn't get in.
Ted: A friend of yours named "you?"
Barney: No, a friend of mine named "Shut up!"
[entering a room]
Barney: And his hair was perfect.
Barney: My, oh, my, there are some ferocious looking cutlets here tonight. Okay, hookup strategy, colon: Find a cutlet, lock her in early, grind with her all night 'till she's mine.
Ted: Do these strategies ever work for you?
Barney: The question is, do these strategies ever *not* work for me. Either way, the answer's "about half the time."
Marshall: Do you know what they're doing in there right now? They're watching Claire's ultrasound video. And I swear to God, even the baby looks bored.
Ted: Barney!
Barney: Ted, get your coat, we're leaving.
Ted: What? What happened to that, uh...”cutlet" you were grinding with?
Barney: That was my cousin Leslie.
Ted: [laughing hysterically] WHAT?
Barney: No, NO!
[grabs Ted]
No. We are not laughing about this, Ted! This is not gonna be some funny story that we'll be telling in a couple of months, it's not going to be like, "Hey, heh, remember that time that you were GRINDING with - " NO. And do you know why? Because, italics: This night did *not* happen. And you promise me that you will never ever *ever* tell another living soul what transpired here tonight. You promise.
Ted: Aww...
Barney: Promise!
Ted: [to the Coat Check Girl] Hey. Thanks for saving my night. I'll talk to you soon?
[Coat Check Girl smiles at him]
Hey, tip her, Barney.
Barney: Why, I didn't check a coat, and even if I did, on principle, tip jars have become so ...
Ted: [to the Coat Check Girl] Funny story, Barney was grinding with this girl all night ...
Barney: Fine!
[gives her some cash and leaves quickly]
Ted: That's a handy new trick.
Ted: I just met the perfect woman. She's funny, she's beautiful, she loves "Star Wars"...
Marshall: Woah woah woah, what's her take on Ewoks?
Ted: Loves them!
Marshall: Oh, good. I don't know why people are so cynical about Ewoks, the Rebellion would have failed without the Ewoks.
Ted: And get this: She's a marine biologist, she spent a year in Antarctica studying penguins.
Marshall: Oh, penguins are cool. Kinda like black-and-white Ewoks. I approve.
[Barney is still dressed as a Devil]
Ted: I have to pee.
Barney: So go to the bathroom.
Ted: No, there's a huge line, and I don't wanna miss the Slutty Pumpkin.
Barney: So pee off the roof. Ooh! Ted. Pee off the roof.
[some guy dressed as an angel turns around]
Angel: Woah. I wouldn't do that if I were you, there's people walking down there.
Barney: Come on, Ted. Who you gonna listen to? Me or Mr. goodie-goodie over there?
Angel: Yeah, whatever, you guys got some weed?
Robin: Everyone else is off falling in love and acting stupid and goofy and sweet and insane, but not me. Why don't I want that more? I *want* to want that... am I wired wrong or something?
Ted: No... Look, you didn't want to be with me, so clearly you have abismal taste in men...
Robin: How do you do this, Ted? How do you sit out here all night, on the roof in the cold and still have faith your pumpkin's gonna show up?
Ted: Well, I'm pretty drunk...
[they laugh]
...but you're wired just fine.
