Barney: Oh, no. It's Barney. Help me.

Woman: Last seat. Thank God. I just had the worst cab ride of my life.
Ted: Well, you're in luck. See that gothic church over there? Those corinthian columns were designed by Giuseppe Pegatto in 1896.
Barney: Hey, Ranjit, pull over.
Ranjit: Pulling over.
Barney: Hey, toots! How about a ride? Oh. Hey, Robin, it's you.

Singer: Hyah! Move along. Hyah! Move along. Hyah!
Ted: See that over there? That's the old Arcadian Hotel. Fun fact... While today its neoclassical fenestration is considered to be...
Robin: So, is this ride your way of apologizing for this morning?
Barney: I'm sorry. I never apologize. And why would I?
Robin: Are you kidding me?
Robin: Hey, Barney, can I talk to you?
Barney: Sure. Stand a little more this way. I'm scouting some talent. Pretend we're talking about something important.
Robin: Oh, well, this... This is something important. Um, I'm having a... A really rough time at work. You know, the whole Becky thing...
Barney: Oh, you know what? That's just getting distracting. Um, say "carrots and peas". Carrots and peas. Guys, I can't stop staring at that girl's face.
Barney: What, you really had something to talk about?
Robin: Yes. Look, I've spent the last,six years in this city, focusing on my career, all for nothing. Some lady almost got me killed. Maury Povich stole my cab. I swear, this city is starting to reject me like a bad organ transplant. You know, everyone keeps saying that I'm not a real New Yorker. Well, maybe I should just stop trying.
Barney: Robin, I had no idea.
Robin: No, it's my fault for thinking that you might care. Ranjit, stop the car.
Ranjit: Stopping the car.
Barney: No, don't stop the car.
Ranjit: Not stopping the car.
Robin: Seriously, stop the car.
Ranjit: Seriously stopping the car.
Barney: Look, you... Wait, wait... Robin, hold on. If you want to talk, I'm right here.
Robin: Carrots and peas.
Barney: Don't... You...
Ranjit: I'll crank up the smooth jazz.
Singer: Our hero's strength was fading fast just as the light turned... green. He then thought back to all the times he'd lost to a machine. The cable box is fearsome but the stapler's mighty sting... The cable box's bite again... Getting too tired to sing.
Ted: Uses a hybrid steel tube structure...
Narator:Kids, that day, I had a horrible realization. If you can't spot the crazy person on the bus...It's you. The good news is, I was halfway there, and nothing could stop me.
Marshall: Whoa! This is crazy.
Robin: I can't believe it.
Ted: Okay, this is clearly a sign. Let's just call it a tie. Forget about the race. Head back to the bar.
Narator: Just like that, the race was back on.
Maury Povich: Idiot.
Narator: Meanwhile, one subway car over...
Robin: Oh, God. Oh, bite me!
