• Robin : I think I like your suit.

  Ted : I think I like your new french horn.

  Robin : I think I like your nose.

  Ted : I think I'm in love with you.

  Robin : What?

• Ted : You know what? I'm done being single, I'm not good at it. Look, obviously you can't tell a woman you just met that you love her, but it sucks that you can't. I'll tell you something though, if a woman, not you, just some hypothetical woman, were to bear with me through all this, I think I'd make a damn good husband, because that's the stuff I'd be good at. Stuff like making her laugh and being a good father and walking her five hypothetical dogs. Being a good kisser...

  Robin : Everyone thinks they're a good kisser.

  Ted : Oh, I've got references.

• Robin : I love a Scotch that's old enough to order its own Scotch.

• Older Ted : [voiceover]  The next night, I took her out to this little bistro in Brooklyn.

  Robin : Wow. That is one badass blue French horn.

  Ted : Yeah.

  Robin : Mm-hmm.

  Ted : Sort of looks like a Smurf penis.

  Older Ted : [voiceover]  Son, a piece of advice: when you go on a first date, you really don't want to say "Smurf penis". Girls don't ordinarily like that. But this was no ordinary girl.

• Ted : So, you're a reporter?

  Robin : Sorta, I do those fluff stories at the end of the show, like... Monkey can play a ukulele. I'm hoping for some bigger stories.

  Ted : Bigger... like, a Gorilla with an upright bass? Sorry, you're very pretty.

• Ted : Oh, your friends don't seem too happy.

  Robin : Yeah, see, the one in the middle just got dumped by her boyfriend. So tonight, every guy is "the enemy".

  Ted : You know, if it'll make your friend feel better, you could throw a drink in my face. I don't mind.

  Robin : She would love that! And it does look fun in the movies.

• Ted : Hey, you want to have dinner with me Saturday night?

  Robin : Oh, I can't. I'm going to Orlando for a week on Friday. Some guy's attempting to make the world's biggest pancake. Guess who's covering it.

  Ted : That's gonna take a week?

  Robin : Yeah, he's gonna eat it, too. It's another record.
