Robin: Coming up next, 'Is your baby trying to kill you?'
Narator: Which maybe events that week, all the more surprising.
Ted: So, I got up this morning, its freezing. So I walked over there. And I don't know why I am still talking. Because clearly we are all asking the same question. What in God's creation is going on with Robin's breasts.
Robin: I know, right, isn't that amazing? I spent half an hour making these happen. Its tape in there, cotton balls, half of a Nerf football, but it works, right?
Lily: Totally. What's the occasion?
occasion 原因
Robin: And old friend from Canada is in town and I'm meeting him for a drink.
Barney: Ooh! Somebody you went to Degrassi with?
Robin: No. Actually, he was my first boyfriend.
Robin: Simon. I thought he was the coolest guy ever. He smelled like Drakkar. He could ollie on a skateboard. He had the most amazing collection of Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts. We spent the whole summer madly in love.
Barney: Tell me more. Tell me more. Like, did he have a car?
Marshall: So he's the guy who... How shall I say this like a gentleman? Robin, did he take your maple leaf?
How shall I say 何と言ったらいいのかなあ
Robin: No, it wasn't like that.
Barney: Sounds to me like he gave you your first "O, Canada!" face.

Robin: Oh, my God! Simon. That was such a good show. You guys totally rocked out.

Robin: Yeah, Simon?
Simon: You forgot to load the drum set.
Ted: No! Tell me you did not load the drum set.
Robin: I did.
Marshall: And now he's coming here? Robin, why do you want to see this guy?
Lily: Oh! I know why. You're gonna win, aren't you?
Robin: I have no idea what you' talking about.
Ted: Yes, you do. Whenever you haven't seen someone for a long time, no matter how much you want to deny it, there's always a clear winner and a clear loser.
Robin: Well, since you brought it up, let's add up the points.
Barney: You're starting out with two big ones right there.
Robin: Thank you. Okay. So, Simon still lives with his mom.
Ted: Point Robin.
