Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 21: - Milk

Ted: No, it's not an adventure, it's a mistake!
Lily: OK, yes it's a mistake. I know it's a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say 'yep, that was a mistake.' So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you'd go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not. And dammit, I've made no mistakes! I've done all of this; my life, my relationship, my career, mistake-free. Does any of this make sense to you?
Ted: I dunno, you said mistake a lot.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CHAR: At the beginning of the episode the narrator says that at Love Solutions a 600 GHz (gigahertz) supercomputer was at work. The fastest processor ever put in series production is around 3 GHz, so in 2006 they would probably mean a 600 MHz (megahertz) processor, not a 600 GHz one.

TRIVIA

Carter Bays and Craig Thomas appeared in this episode as the fake paramedics, in the scene with "the greatest pickup line of all time".
First time seeing the reverse shot of the booth showing it is not built against the 'fourth wall'.
