Ted: You said it was gonna be three days.
Ellen: Did I?
Ted: Hm.
Ellen: Three days? Really?
Ted: Yeah. When someone says you're gonna meet the perfect woman in three days, you gotta put that in your datebook, so...
Ellen: How do I say this? This is gonna be really hard. Ted, there are absolutely no women out there for you. Phew, actually I got through that OK.

Ted: No. You're messing with me, right?

Ted: Oh, sure, it's good. It's solid. But a 9.6?

Robin: Well, I believe that you saw something perfectly normal but you've exaggerated it in your mind, you know, um, like the Loch Ness Monster.

Sarah: I'm exactly the same.
Ted: Summer breeze makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Ted: Oh, it's been stuck in my head ever since I heard it this weekend at brunch.
Sarah: I love brunch.
Ted: It's the best, as long as I don't have to spend it with a bunch of phonies.
Sarah: I like the way you think, Architect Mosby.
Ted: Hey, this may sound weird but it'll definitely sound more weird once my shirt's off so I'm gonna ask you now. Do you wanna have dinner with me Saturday night?
once 〜するとすぐに、〜した時点で
Sarah: Oh, that's very sweet, but I'm actually getting married on Saturday.
Ted: Friday night?
Ted: Wow, you're getting married. Congratulations.
Sarah: Thank you.
Ted: I'm really sorry I asked you out. If just felt like there might be this weird connection between us. How crazy am I coming off here?

Ted: So, my 9.6, beautiful, charming, intelligent, engaged.

Barney: The doctor will see you now.
Ted: What should I do? I should totally go down there, right?
Lily: Don't interfere. Some guy is expecting to marry this woman on Saturday.
interfere 邪魔をする
Ted: Yeah, an 8.5 guy. Look, if I was marrying the wrong person and the right person was out there and knew it, I'd want that person to come down to my dermatology office and tell me so. In that scenario, I'm not interfering, I'm a happy ending.
dermatology 皮膚科学
Barney: Happy ending.
Ted: Look, I have to go down there. I don't know what's gonna happen when I get there but I have to give it a shot.

Barney: All right, see you later. Happy hunting.
Lily: Wait, where are you guys going? Don't you want to stay and see the cockamouse.
Barney: Yeah, we're gonna make some crop circles.
Marshall: Oh my God!
Lily: Holy crap. We got it! What do we do with it?
Marshall: Calm down, I have a plan. I told my friend, Sudeep, about it. He wants to show it to the Columbia biology department. But it has to be alive.
Lily: Wait, no no. They'll do lab experiments on it. That's so mean. Shouldn't we just beat it to death with a bat?
experiment 実験 with a bat バットで
