Barney

Booger.

Yes, hello Barney.

Barney's offering me 50 bucks to say some stupid word on a live news report.

Barney

Not some stupid word. Booger.

But I am not doing it. I am a journalist.

Barney

What? Journalist? You do the little fluff pieces at the end of the news. Old people, babies, monkeys. That's not journalism. That's just things in a diaper.

For your information, my boss is about to bump me up to... the City Hall beat.

City Hall! Miss Thang!

So, I'm not going to jeopardize my promotion by saying "booger" for 50 bucks.

Barney

Of course not. Because now you're saying "nipple", and it's a hundred. [motions with finger] Step into my web.

Barney

Ted, get your coat, we're leaving.

What happened to that, uh, cutlet you were grinding with?

Barney

That was my cousin Leslie!

What!? [begins to laugh]

Barney

No, no, no. We are not laughing about this, Ted. This is not gonna be some funny story that we're gonna be telling in a couple of months. It's not gonna be like "Remember that time when you were grinding with-" NO. And do you know why? Because, italics, [Barney holds his hands up and slants them to an angle] this night did not happen.

S1 E5 Okay Awesome

Just play cool, don't Ted-out about it.

Did you just use my name as a verb?

Barney

Oh, yeah, we do that behind your back. "Ted-out": to overthink. Also see "Ted-up". "Ted-up": to overthink with disastrous results. Sample sentence: "Billy Tedded-up when he tried-"

Okay... I get it!

S1 E7 Matchmaker
View quote →

So what was it, a cockroach or a mouse?

It was a cockamouse!

What?

It's some sort of mutant combination of the two. It's as if a cockroach and a mouse, you know...

Barney

Did the horizontal, ten-legged, interspecies cha-cha?

Barney.

Barney

Yeah, what's up?

You have a time sheet? No one else does.

Barney

Yeah, so? [Ted steals paper] Hey! That's my private personal business!

"Court Mandated Community Service"??

Oh my god, you're on probation? What did you do?

Barney

That's my private personal business!

[flashback to Barney running away after peeing on a wall.]

Barney

I was unfairly punished because the wall belonged to the judge's church!

You peed on a church?

Barney

I peed in an alley which happened to have a church which I did not see because I was drunk!

You are evil!

All is right with the world again.

S1 E9 Belly Full of Turkey
View quote →

You okay?

Sure. Why?

Ah... I don't know. Girl of your dreams... dating a billionaire.

Okay, first of all, hundred-millionaire. And second, she's not the girl of my dreams, we're just friends. Look, it would not be smart if we got together. I..I mean, I'm looking to settle down, she's looking for a.... [Barney starts snoring]

Barney

Wha...? You done? Great. Check out table number four. See that little hottie on the end? She's short, but has an ample bosom. I love it! She's like half boob. [whispers to Ted] Let's go.

Yeah, and say what? What's our big opening line?

Barney

It was, uh... 'Daddy's home.'

Daddy's home?

Barney

Yeah!

Okay, you... you want us to go over there, right now, and say to those girls, 'Daddy's home.' Really think about that, Barney.

Barney

Hmm... yeah, I think it's pretty solid.

You're not... Moby, are you?

NMNot Moby/Erik

Who?

The recording artist, Moby.

NMNot Moby/Erik

Oh, no.

Barney

Then why, when we said "Hey, Moby" did you come over here?

NMNot Moby/Erick

Oh, I thought you said Tony.

So your name's Tony?

NMNot Moby/Erik

No.

S1 E11 The Limo
View quote →

[Lily takes Barney aside at MacLaren's after she sees him trying to seduce Claudia, who just called off the wedding with Stuart]

Claudia is getting married tomorrow and so help me God if I catch you even so much as breathing the same air as her, I will take those peanuts you're trying to pass off as testicles and I will squeeze them so hard your eyes pop out and then I'll feed them to you like grapes!

Barney

Wait, my eyes or my testicles?

[thinks about it] One of each!

S1 E12 The Wedding
View quote →

Why don't we just... dance. And have a great time. And when it's over, never see each other again.

Unless-

No. No unless. No e-mails, no phone numbers, not even names. Tonight, we'll make a memory that will never be tarnished. Then, when we're old and gray, we'll look back on this moment... and it'll be perfect.

Wow... Okay I'm in.

[enthusiastically] Okay!

I guess, uh, what, we'll need fake names?

Um... you can call me Buttercup. [Ted and "Buttercup" shake hands]

Pleased to meet you, Buttercup. I'm... Lando Calrissian. [Victoria laughs] Wow, this is kind of exciting. Our names will forever be shrouded in-

Barney

[with bridesmaid on his arm] Hey Ted, Ted, Ted, look! I got a bridesmaid! Ted Ted look, Ted! The second hottest bridesmaid! Ted, look! See you Ted.

[to Victoria] So I'm Ted.

Victoria.

Barney

[in the laser tag arena] Don't be a hero, Scherbatsky!

See you on the other side.

BBoth

[Charging] Yaahhhhh!

[Both got shot]

Barney

Damn! ...You wanna get a soft pretzel?

Yeah.

BBilson

Nice tie! Steak sauce!

OJOffice Jerk

Ohhhhhhh, steakkk sauce!

[Marshall looks for a stain on his tie]

Barney

Marshall, sidebar. Your tie is steak sauce. A1? Get it? Try to keep up.

BBilson

Ok, Eriksen, let's get to work. It's 2am and its raining outside, ding dong what? The Doorbell? Oh, hello, Jessica Alba in a trenchcoat and nothing else, but wait, knock knock, somebody is at the back door.

I don't have a back door.

BBilson

Oh my gosh, Jessica Simpson, what a surprise. Two Jessicas, you gotta pick one, what do you do? Go!

Right, well, I'm engaged.

OJOffice Jerk

Fiancee is out of town, what do you do? Go!

We're still engaged.

BBilson

Ok, fiancée is dead, hit by a bus, what do you do, GO!

Barney

[To Ted] Do you have some puritanical hang up on prostitution? Dude, it's the world's oldest profession.

Do you really think that's true?

Barney

Oh yeah, I bet even Cro-Magnons used to give cave hookers an extra fish for putting out.

Ah ha, so the oldest profession would be fishermen. Kaboom! You've been lawyered!

[Lily is freaking out because a New Jersey high school that has The 88 for a prom band wouldn't let them in. She thinks Barney's ideas of sneaking in may the only way to see the band.]

You're getting on board with Barney's idea. Man, you really have snapped!

It's nine weeks 'til the wedding. I'd say "yes" to just about anything.

Barney

[saunters to Lily] Well...

No, Barney.

[She and Lily come out in fancy dresses] All right, what do you think?

Barney

[Looks up] Horrible.

You're gonna make such a great dad.

Barney

You look so classy and nice, you're gonna stick out like a sore thumb. Have you seen how the kids are dressing these days, with the Ashlee and the Lindsay and the Paris? They all dress like strippers. It's, "Go ho or go home." Now ladies...SLUT UP!

[Ted and Barney are in a library trying to recruit Barney's friend Penelope for a rain dance]

PPenelope

Why the hell should I help you?

Barney

Come on, I know it didn't work out between us, but we did have a relationship.

PPenelope

We had sex in your car twice and then you dumped me. How is that a relationship?

Barney

Twice!

PPenelope

[loudly] Barney, there is no way I'm- [student shushes her]

Barney

Seriously, come on.

Penelope, I really need to make it rain this weekend.

PPenelope

Why?

There's this girl-

PPenelope

Oh, there's this girl! You know the traditional rain dance is a sacred prayer to nature. I don't think the great spirit looks too kindly on white dudes who co-opt it to get laid.

But this is the girl I love! If it doesn't rain this weekend, she's gonna end up with the wrong guy!

PPenelope

This wrong guy. Is he a huge jackass?

Absolutely.

PPenelope

Kinda like Barney?

Kinda.

Barney

Hey!

PPenelope

You hit on my mom!

Barney

We weren't exclusive!

PPenelope

[To Ted] I'm in.
