• Lily Aldrin : [Flashback to Lily and Ted in college, very stoned]  When I was a kid, all I wanted was an Easy Bake Oven. I begged and I begged, but all I got was a stupid Lego set because my feminist mom didn't want me conforming to traditional gender roles.

  Ted : Easy Bake Oven - that's what I'm going to call my van.

• Lily Aldrin : [At Lily's apartment]  Some friend, you called me a Grinch.

  Ted : You were a Grinch!

  Lily Aldrin : How can you...

  Ted : Grinchy, Grinch, Grinch, Grinch, Grinch, Grinch, Grinch.

  [the lights go out] 

  Lily Aldrin : Happy? Now, you've pissed off the big guy upstairs.

  Ted : Yeah, I'm sure God cares if I...

  Man upstairs : [Yelling downstairs]  You use that language again and I'll turn off your water!

  Lily Aldrin : That's my super. He lives above me. Great. Thanks to your filthy mouth, now I'm going to have Christmas alone in the dark.

• Lily Aldrin : [about why she's mad at Ted]  Do you know what I would do if one of my kindergarteners used language like that? I would be on the phone with their parents!

  Ted : I'm not a kindergartener.

  Lily Aldrin : Exactly! You know what that word means! You know that calling people names is mean and hurtful... assface!

• Ted : I promise I will never call you a... you know, ever again.

  Lily Aldrin : It's okay. I was kind of a Grinch!

  Boy : What's a Grinch?

  Lily Aldrin : Umm... it's a word you shouldn't say!

  Boy : Mom, what's a Grinch?

  [Stacy spits out her drink in horror] 

  Kids : [Chanting]  Grinch! Grinch! Grinch!

  Ted : Uhh, Merry Christmas!

  [Running out with his friends] 

  Ted : Let's get out of here!
