Episode Quotes

Barney Stinson: Last question. Who is this? [Holds up picture of Ernest P Worrell]
Robin Scherbatsky: That is the fine actor best known for the Hey Vern series of films. And his name is Jeff Foxworthy.
Barney Stinson: Wrong. It's Jim Varney.
Robin Scherbatsky: It's Jeff Foxworthy, you idiot!
Barney Stinson: Robin, not only were you wrong, but you stubbornly stuck to your guns and insulted me in the process. [Salutes] Congratulations, you are an American.
Barney Stinson: Attention Canada! I am Barney from America, and I am here to fix your backward ass country. Number one, get real money. Don't know what board game this came from, but it's a joke. Number two, and this is the biggy, quit letting awesome chicks, like Robin Scherbatsky, get away. Because, guess what, you don't want her, I'm planting my flag in her, if you know what I mean, which you probably don't, and getting the hell outta here, you may now return to being pointless.
Robin Scherbatsky: What happened?
Barney Stinson: You went Canadian.
Robin Scherbatsky: How Canadian?
Barney Stinson: This Canadian! [Dramatically opens curtains of hotel room; a building blocks the view] That was supposed to be a dramatic view of the Toronto skyline. We're in Toronto!

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (continuity error): Ted and Marshall tell how they would eat jerky and drink tantrum on their trip, but Marshall always had a no food or drink rule in the car.

Trivia

  • The Tim Hortons, described by Robin as being near The Hockey Hall of Fame, is real.
  • Robin tells Ted that the water bill is "bigger than Louis Cyr's arms." Cyr was a French/Canadian strongman and weightlifter whose forearms reportedly measured 16.3"/41.4cm.
