Quotes
-
Virginia Mosby : So we are definitely going to try and communicate more.
Alfred Mosby : From now on, full disclosure.
Ted : Good. Good, I think it'll be really good for the family. By the way, how's Grandma? She hasn't returned my last couple calls.
Virginia Mosby : [Avoiding Ted's gaze] I'm gonna get some juice.
Ted : No.
[Realization dawning]
Ted : No.
-
Ted : No, no, no! We're not just going to blow past this. I mean, I don't even know you people. I don't even know how you met.
Alfred Mosby : I never told you how I met your mother?
Ted : No.
Alfred Mosby : Oh, great story. At a bar!
Ted : That's it? That's what passes for communication in our family? When I have kids, and I tell them how I met their mother I'm gonna tell them everything. The whole damn story.
Alfred Mosby : I think it was an Irish bar.
-
Virginia Mosby : Ted, we weren't quite sure how to tell you this...
Alfred Mosby : Your mother and I are divorced.
[Ted is stunned]
Ted : You... Wha... What do you mean you're divorced? Since when?
Virginia Mosby : Oh gosh, it's been about nine months now.
Alfred Mosby : Closer to ten I think.
Virginia Mosby : Wow, time flies.
Ted : So ten months ago you just up and decided to get divorced without telling me?
Virginia Mosby : No it wasn't a snap decision.
Alfred Mosby : We were separated almost two years.
-
Ted : [after finding out his parents are divorced] How could you not tell me this?
Virginia Mosby : We meant to, it just never seemed like the right time.
Ted : So last Christmas...?
Alfred Mosby : We talked about telling you kids then, but it didn't seem very Christmasy.
-
Alfred Mosby : We're sorry we didn't say anything about the divorce.
Virginia Mosby : It was wrong not to tell you.
Ted : Thank you.
Alfred Mosby : But listen, don't tell your sister.
Virginia Mosby : It would just upset her.
