Marshall Eriksen
- Ted Mosby: Barney wants me to take the job so bad he's putting the moves on me?
- Marshall Eriksen: I hope that's his endgame. Actually, I don't. I like you two together!
- 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.
- Barney Stinson: [about to hit on a random woman] Hi. I'm Barney Stinson.
- Marshall Eriksen: And I'm Marshall, Barney's wingman.
