[Robin calls Ted on letting Barney take credit for finding her locket, and thinks she should go to Chicago with Ted]
Stop, stop! You're saying this because you're scared! I am not your future. Barney is.
Shouldn't I be with a guy who finds me my locket? The guy who steals me the blue French horn? I mean look me in the eye and tell me why shouldn't I be with that guy?
Because I'm not that guy anymore.
Then why did you work so hard to find me my locket?
It was a wedding gift.
Ted stop it, okay? I've known you better than that. This is more than a wedding gift.
Maybe it started out that way. Maybe some part of me thought—
—that you still loved me.
Maybe, but the truth is…I don't love you like that anymore, and you don't love me. You love Barney, and if you think I would ever be part of screwing that up, then maybe you don't know me at all, Robin.
Oh, I can't shake it, I can't shake this feeling that nothing about me and Barney makes any sense!
But love doesn't make sense! I mean, you can't logic your way in or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it, or else we're lost, and love is dead, and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do. Look, I know that sounds cheesy, but it's just true. You love Barney, and he loves you. And that doesn't have to make sense…to make sense.
