I'm Andrea and I approve this

Ted: I never said I was gonna get back together with her. But I was thinking, she's new in town, would it be the worst thing in the world if I gave her a call?
Marshall: No, no, Ted, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would be the fourth worst thing. Number one, supervolcano. Number two, an asteroid hits the earth. Number three, all footage of Evil Knievel is lost. Number four, Ted calls Karen. Number five, Lily gets eaten by a shark.
Lily: I'm Lily and I approve the order of that list.

I love "How I Met Your Mother"*

Ted: It's freezing out there. Where's your coat?
Robin: Ted, I'm Canadian. I don't need a coat. This kind of weather is nothing for me.
Marshall: Yeah, this is like a spring day back in Minnesota if it weren't for all the taxis and skyscrapers and all the non-white people.
Ted: There aren't any black people in Minnesota?
Marshall: Not if Prince is on tour.
*And I'm just now getting caught up on season 4. Thank you, internets.
