How I Met Your Mother (TV Series)

The Front Porch (2009)

Cobie Smulders: Robin Scherbatsky

Quotes 

• Ted Mosby : And I realized maybe it doesn't matter what my friends think of my girlfriend, but it sure as hell matters what my girlfriend thinks of my friends.

  Robin Scherbatsky : Wow. So you ended it?

  Ted Mosby : Yeah. So if you wanna be my plus one, Lily's a damn good cook.

  [they walk over to the dinner table Lily set up for Ted and Karen] 

  Robin Scherbatsky : Mm. Beef pot pie, mac and cheese, homemade buttermilk biscuits...

  Ted Mosby : Well. No wonder why Marshall dies at 68.

• Robin Scherbatsky : So if it weren't for you, Ted and I might still be dating?

  Lily Aldrin : Or you would have stayed together far too long, had an incredibly bitter break-up, and not even remained friends! And then you and I would never have become best friends.

  Robin Scherbatsky : Don't even say that!

  [both women start crying and hug] 

  Ted Mosby : Stop hugging! Lily, you had no right to interfere in my relationships. You got lucky, okay? You met the love of your life in a dorm hallway when you were 18. But that doesn't give you the right to play God to the rest of us morons down here who are still looking for someone. If you're so concerned about who you and Marshall are gonna end up on that front porch with, well, you know what? You can have it to yourselves.

• Robin Scherbatsky : We should make a pact. If the years go by, and we both turn forty, and we're still single...

  Ted Mosby : Robin Scherbatsky, will you be my backup wife?

  Robin Scherbatsky : A girl always dreams of hearing those words. Yes, yes, a million times, yes!
