• Narrator : Kids, you haven't truly lived until somewhere, somebody puts a sign up because of something you did. For instance...

  Kevin : [At MacLaren's]  You guys seen that sign out front that says "Absolutely no boogie boarding"

  [gang uh-huh knowledgeably] 

  Kevin : What's that all about?

  Ted Mosby : Oh, that's a great story, you got time for it?

  Kevin : [Checks his watch]  Well, I'm supposed to go to my mom's birthday party, so please make it as long as you can.

• Marshall Eriksen : [about Barney]  I just wanna slap him so bad. But that tie is so stupid. But the slap would feel so good. But he hates that tie so much

  Kevin : Perhaps I can help. Marshall, ask yourself this question: why today? He hasn't said anything about that tie for weeks; yet suddenly, today, he can't wear it another second? No, there's a reason.

  [to Barney] 

  Kevin : You've got something coming up; something where you're on display, vulnerable, exposed. It's not work related, no, this is relationship stuff; you're trying to impress someone. In the lie you told you said you were being chased by two goons, so it's two people; a couple, perhaps? You're meeting Nora's parents tomorrow!

  Barney Stinson : WRONG. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. It's in two days and I really want them to like me!

  Ted Mosby : Oh-ho, therapisted

  [High fives Kevin] 

  Ted Mosby : . Shrinked? Shrunk? We'll figure it out.
