"How I Met Your Mother" Quotes 3 Quiz

Answer: "Instead, I'm spending 12 hours a day designing the cornices." (Ted)

Of course, there was a humorous metaphor surrounding the dialogue and its threefold recurrence. When Marshall remarked about the skyscraper as being "the whole package", he exhibited admiration over it and metonymically wanted to "hit" on the building. Barney declared that he wanted to inhabit (or "hit") a condominium with that design--anywhere excluding areas near the "shaft" or column. When Ted imagined his skyscraper project getting more difficult to work on, he jokingly stressed himself to "hit" on it "harder and harder". All cases came with a fist bump.

"Yeah, you did!" "That doesn't work."

Answer: "Ike, why are you pointing your gun at me?!"

The episode presented real-life examples of these phenomena before the cinematography went on to Ted's meeting with Mitch, sitting naked on the couch to pull off a way to start having sex with Robin, the latter's date at that time. Ten days before Christmas in 2006, the apartment was almost robbed.

However, Robin braced her gun upon catching the two foolish robbers in the act while Marshall and Lily hugged each other on the couch feeling scared. Ted stood by the door in fear, holding some groceries. "Drop it!" "You first!" "Ike, why are you pointing your gun at me?!" "Don't use my name!" "Put the gun down now!"

Answer: "What do you do? Go."

Bilson and Blauman (starred by Taran Killam) employed their casual and almost perverted behavior to engage Marshall in such a game. They asked him to choose between at least two women to get with, including Jessica Alba and Jessica Simpson, the four Golden Girls (Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty), and Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson. Future Ted (voiced by Bob Saget) adopted such a game to demonstrate Ted's dilemma over his waiting for Victoria's call from Germany, producing a cliffhanger ending to the story.

Answer: Lutefisk, salted whitefish prepared with lye

Lily and Marshall argued about telling their future kids about Santa Claus with regards to his being a fictional character. The former responded that she would be telling her kids that Santa does not exist.

"That's just what Santa needs at 3:00 am when he's battling a snowstorm over the Rockies--a sugar crash! No. Santa needs protein."

Answer: True

The gang, along with Ted's girlfriend (named "Blah Blah" after forgetting her real name), all spent time in a booth in MacLaren's conversing about how they met one another to change the subject of Ted's "embarrassing" online encounter with Blah Blah. The girlfriend, played by Abigail Spencer, was found to be acting crazy to assume that Robin, single at the time, had feelings for Ted.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... Barney and I are not together. No, no..."

Answer: provided you keep your figure

We learned that Barney only pretended to be Ted, a career architect, to prove that such skilled drafters and planners, like the latter, appear attractive in the eyes of women. Knowing for a long time that Ted cheated her, Robin felt relieved but not on her flaws as her girlfriend who thought too much about him cheating her after their first major spat as a couple.

"And, that led to a couple of hours that I cannot, as a gentleman, divulge to you. We did it right here, and here, and here."

Answer: Barney Stinson

Barney, despite knowing about someone dating Robin whom he fell in love with (much to Lily's perplexity), felt overjoyed about the move called "The Naked Man", which may "revolutionize the one-night stand". In his words, he praised Mitch for being the first to pull off what he may call the move beyond all that were written in his Playbook.

"What kind of gadgets are we talking about?"

Answer: package

The conversation took place at a karaoke bar after Marshall accepted Bilson and Blauman's offer that he would work as a lawyer after graduating from Columbia Law School. This was despite feeling the nerves before encountering a probable risk of shifting from his plan to achieving expertise in environmental law.

Answer: "Dude, we're 42."

The line was said during a foreshadowed scene, when Ted, Marshall and Lily gathered in a Wesleyan University Batch 2000 reunion. While they secretly ate and shared a piece of "sandwich" (euphemism for "marijuana"), Marshall asked Lily if they could grow some "sandwiches" in their garage and she remarked that way.

"Where's my wife?"

Answer: "Weird day..."

After discovering Sam Gibbs, who eventually turned out not to be his father but his half-brother James' father, Barney Stinson had to take it only positively as though Sam was also his father. During Sam and James's duet ("Stand By Me" by Ben E. King), Barney interrupted them through his scat-singing. This scene immediately transitioned to that of Robin and Ted's reaction. "Weird day..."

Answer: "...che la verace via abbandonai."

It was revealed in the episode that Ted would get interrupted by fart noises, that the rest of the gang make, whenever he tried to act intellectual and classy. As he mingled with the elite-class attendees in the party, he recited to them the Italian translation of "The Divine Comedy".

The English translation to the line is "...when I forsook the pathway of the truth." While Ted recited, Peter Bogdanovich (as himself) tried to hinder a nosebleed in tolerating Ted's high-minded expression.

Answer: He unintentionally fell asleep.

In the same phone call, Ted had to know then from Victoria if she received his New York-themed care package (some bagels, an Empire State Building key chain, a New York Time newspaper dated three days ago). However, although not meant to happen, Ted inevitably got himself some shut-eye and his mouth open. "Oh, Teddy Boy!"

Answer: Sancerre, Loire Valley region

Ted was invited by Marissa Heller, a high-class individual, for a blind-tasting of French white wines. He remarked using the word "decant" as a pun: "Well, I 'decant' miss that." During the tasting, he correctly guessed he took a sip of a sauvignon blanc produced from the area of Sancerre. In one flashback, he tried a drink of a Syrah wine, that is produced in the Rhône region.

Answer: "She'd stab me with a fork..."

For Robin's knowledge, Barney illustrated the "Hot-Crazy Scale" to prove Ted wrong about his girlfriend (whose name he ended up forgetting after 23 years) that she was only hot and not crazy at all. Barney suggested that she was also crazy given the scale. Throughout the episode, Barney made references on the scale to two of his dates, Vicky Mendoza and Shelly Gillespie.

The so-called "Shelly Gillespie zone" covered the area on the scale where women are only halfway as hot as they are crazy. "I should give her a call."

Answer: Dawn Olivieri (A), Josh Radnor (B), Maria Arce (C)

With initial hesitation, Ted (Josh Radnor) tried surveying women's impressions of architects like him. When he scored a positive reaction from Anna (Dawn Olivieri), he continued the talk. Based on how the story presented itself one scene at a time, the conversation moved to a booth within MacLaren's Bar, alongside Paula (Maria Arce).

In actuality (although not shown), Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) would have been in the place of Ted pretending to be him as an "attractive" architect.
