Quotes 

• Barney Stinson : Watch your step when you get up kids, 'cause I'm about to drop some knowledge. Relationships are like a freeway.

  Marshall Eriksen : Wait a minute. A month ago you told me relationships were like a traveling circus.

  Barney Stinson : No, this is new, this trumps that. Freeways have exits, so do relationships. The first exit, my personal favorite, is six hours in. You meet, you talk, you have sex, you exit when she's in the shower.

  Robin Scherbatsky : So, every girl you have sex with feels the immediate need to shower? Actually yeah, I get that.

  Barney Stinson : [ignoring what Robin just said]  The next exits are four days, three weeks, seven months - That's when you guys

  [pointing at Ted and Robin] 

  Barney Stinson : are gonna break up, mark your calendars.

  Ted Mosby : Hey!

  Robin Scherbatsky : What?

  Barney Stinson : Then a year and a half, eighteen years, and the last exit: death, which, if you've been with the same woman for your entire life, it's like "Are we there yet?"

• Robin Scherbatsky : You know what? You gave it away too early. You're an "I love you" slut.

  Ted Mosby : Yeah, well you're an "I love you" prude. You know what? I'm taking mine back.

  Robin Scherbatsky : You can't do that!

  Ted Mosby : Just did. In fact, I'm giving it away, because I'm a slut.

  [to a stranger] 

  Ted Mosby : Hey, I love you.

  Stranger : Thanks, man! I came in here to jump. I really needed that.

• Katie Scherbatsky : I've been dating Kyle for two months now. It's like forever. I mean, we've already done everything else. I mean, we've even...

  Robin Scherbatsky : [plugs her ears]  Oh. La, la, la, la, la.La, la, la, la, la, la, la,la, la, la, la, la.

  Marshall Eriksen : [to Lily]  Even Kyle gets to do that.

• Robin Scherbatsky : You know, Katie, I have wanted to come to the Empire State Building for so long, but I waited to come here with someone special.

  Katie Scherbatsky : Oh, here we go.

  Lily Aldrin : Marshall and I have never been to the Empire State Building either. But I'm so glad I waited to do something so important with my fiancee.

  Marshall Eriksen : Speaking of waiting, I signed an abstinence pledge in high school. It's totally cool to wait. And stay away from drugs... other than pot.

• Robin Scherbatsky : Okay but, if relationships are like a freeway, then saying "mm hmm hmm" is like, getting into the carpool lane. And, I don't want to take an exit but at the same time I'm not ready to get into the carpool lane. Because what's in the carpool lane? Oh, it's a big diamond!

• Robin Scherbatsky : Katie, I'll admit, maybe I'm not in any place to lecture you on romantic relationships, but... but I just don't want you to make the same mistakes that I've made.

  Katie Scherbatsky : Oh, believe me, Kyle is not gay.

• Katie Scherbatsky : You are such a hypocrite. You lost your virginity when you were sixteen.

  Robin Scherbatsky : How did you know that?

  Katie Scherbatsky : I read your diary. I found it in your old room slash my new room.

  Barney Stinson : I'll give you $10,000 for that diary.

• Robin Scherbatsky : You only get one shot at losing your virginity. And even though I just barely had sex, it counts.

  Lily Aldrin : What do you mean just barely?

  Robin Scherbatsky : Well, he didn't dive all the way into the pool, but he... splashed around in the shallow end.

  Lily Aldrin : Then you didn't lose your virginity to him. Just barely doesn't count.

  Robin Scherbatsky : Yes, it does.

  Lily Aldrin : No, it doesn't.

  Marshall Eriksen : Yes, it does.

  Lily Aldrin : No, it doesn't. It doesn't count. End of story.

  Barney Stinson : Ooh, why, Lily Aldrin, you saucy little harlot. Could it be that before Marshall took a swim, someone else tested the water?

• Robin Scherbatsky : [after finding out her sister is planning on loosing her virginity]  This can't happen. She's my baby sister, okay? She should be watching The Little Mermaid and drinking Yoohoo, and not having sex.

  Ted Mosby : Come on, you were only 16 when you had sex. I was 17.

  Marshall Eriksen : [Gestures to himself and Lily]  We were 18.

  Ted Mosby : Barney was probably 12.

  Barney Stinson : [laughs nervously]  Good one, Ted. I was, uh, six... fourt... How old were you again?

  Ted Mosby : 17.

  Barney Stinson : Dude, me, too.
