Quotes 

• Virginia Mosby : I'd join you, too, but I want to get up early for mass tomorrow.

  Barney Stinson : St. Peter's, 8:45 AM. It's my favorite service.

  Ted : Wait a minute. You're able to cross the threshold of a church?

• Virginia Mosby : Oh, Barney. You're just delightful.

  Barney Stinson : No, you're delightful. I'm delighted. And he's just Ted. I'm really not planning these things; they just keep happening.

• Virginia Mosby : So we are definitely going to try and communicate more.

  Alfred Mosby : From now on, full disclosure.

  Ted : Good. Good, I think it'll be really good for the family. By the way, how's Grandma? She hasn't returned my last couple calls.

  Virginia Mosby : [Avoiding Ted's gaze]  I'm gonna get some juice.

  Ted : No.

  [Realization dawning] 

  Ted : No.

• Narrator : Kids, you know that photo in the den? It was taken back in 2006 when grandma and grandpa came to visit me, and we all went out to brunch. We all look pretty happy right? Wrong.

  Lily Aldrin : [Cut to brunch]  I wish your face would melt off.

  Marshall Eriksen : I wish your eyeballs would explode.

  Lily Aldrin : I hate you.

  Marshall Eriksen : I hate you more.

  Ted : [Cut to Ted and Barney's area of the table]  I'm gonna kill him

  Barney Stinson : I can't say I blame you.

  Ted : No, I'm *seriously* gonna kill him.

  Robin Scherbatsky : [Now to Robin and Ted' mom]  I don't care how unpleasant it is, you have to talk to him!

  Virginia Mosby : Not now!

  Robin Scherbatsky : Okay, if you won't, I will

  [Tries to stand up and accidentally knocks a tray out a a waitress' hand] 

  Narrator : Okay, for any of this to make sense, you gotta understand there are three parts to this story...

• Virginia Mosby : Your cousin Jimmy had a wonderful time at that spa he visited.

  Ted : You mean the spa the judge ordered him to go to to quit cocaine?

  Virginia Mosby : [Still smiling tightly]  Coffee?

• Virginia Mosby : Ted, we weren't quite sure how to tell you this...

  Alfred Mosby : Your mother and I are divorced.

  [Ted is stunned] 

  Ted : You... Wha... What do you mean you're divorced? Since when?

  Virginia Mosby : Oh gosh, it's been about nine months now.

  Alfred Mosby : Closer to ten I think.

  Virginia Mosby : Wow, time flies.

  Ted : So ten months ago you just up and decided to get divorced without telling me?

  Virginia Mosby : No it wasn't a snap decision.

  Alfred Mosby : We were separated almost two years.

• Ted : [after finding out his parents are divorced]  How could you not tell me this?

  Virginia Mosby : We meant to, it just never seemed like the right time.

  Ted : So last Christmas...?

  Alfred Mosby : We talked about telling you kids then, but it didn't seem very Christmasy.

• Alfred Mosby : We're sorry we didn't say anything about the divorce.

  Virginia Mosby : It was wrong not to tell you.

  Ted : Thank you.

  Alfred Mosby : But listen, don't tell your sister.

  Virginia Mosby : It would just upset her.
