Quotes 

• Marshall Eriksen : I miss my dad, Ted... I miss him so much.

  Ted Mosby : I know.

  Marshall Eriksen : When I was a kid, we would spend the summers in the upper peninsula. And every year we wouldn't get in the cabin till the middle of the night. And so, it'd be pitch black in the middle of the woods. I could never see anything in front of the headlights, but I always felt so safe... cause my dad was driving. He was like some sort of superhero that could just see way out into the darkness... and now he's just gone, and it's pitch black. I can't see where I'm going. I can't see anything...

• Lily Aldrin : [Lily has had enough of Marshall being cooped up in the Eriksen house since the funeral, and Ted's presence does not help]  Marshall, I'm going home.

  Marshall Eriksen : [pauses from game session with Ted, comes to Lily]  What?

  Lily Aldrin : I'm flying out tonight before the big storm, and I want you to come with me.

  Marshall Eriksen : I can't right now, 'cause my mom needs me.

  Lily Aldrin : Well, I guess it's been helpful for her for you to be here playing Super Mario Kart for 14 hours a day...

  Ted Mosby : [Surprised]  You have Super Mario Kart?

  Marshall Eriksen : Hell, yeah.

  [points to cartridge. Ted gets it and loads into the SNES] 

  Lily Aldrin : ...but your mom doesn't need you. Your life in New York needs you, it needs you really bad.

  Marshall Eriksen : Baby, don't go.

  Lily Aldrin : [kisses Marshall and leaves]  Please come home soon.
