- Robin Scherbatsky: So, at any point in this, did you say, "Barney, I know what you're doing, and it's not gonna work. I'm not taking that job?"
- Ted Mosby: Uh, I mean, not exactly in those...
- Lily Aldrin: You're loving this!
- Ted Mosby: No...
- Lily Aldrin: You are! You are loving the attention.
- Ted Mosby: It's nice nice to be wanted! Okay? And yes, this is a new vest, thank you all for noticing. Oh, that's right: You didn't. Barney did.
- Robin Scherbatsky: Oh, Teddy. You are so gonna spread your legs and design that building.
- Ted Mosby: [gasps] I am not that kind of architect!
- [gets up and exits the room furiously]
- Lily Aldrin: [Ted has decided not to take GNB's offer to design the headquarters again] But designing a building in New York City is your lifelong dream.
- Ted Mosby: I do not want to work for GNB again. Those guys are evil. No offense, Marshall.
- Marshall Eriksen: Dude, None taken. Yes, GNB is the Empire from Star Wars, but the Death Star is gonna get built either way, and don't you think the architect of the Death Star is pretty psyched to have that thing on his space resume. I mean, yes, his design was flawed in the sense that he let a single bullet fire into a particular vent that would explode the whole thing...
- Ted Mosby: For all we know, that was the contractor's fault.
- Marshall Eriksen: ...But that won't happen on your watch, 'cause you're Ted Mosby, and you're gonna design the most beautiful, ventless, Rebel-proof building in Manhattan... with clearly-marked emergency stops for every trash compactor on the detention level.
