Alyson Hannigan: Lily Aldrin

Quotes 

• Lily Aldrin : [Robin told the gang she can never be a "pole vaulter", instead of saying she is infertile]  Are you okay?

  Robin Scherbatsky : Yeah, yeah. I guess this, erm... this "pole vaulting thing" is finally hitting me.

  Lily Aldrin : I don't get it Robin, did you really wanna be a pole vaulter?

  Robin Scherbatsky : No. No, I was, eh... I was always adamantly against having erm... a, a "pole vaulting career", even though, it's what most women want.

  Lily Aldrin : Most women wanna be a pole vaulter?

  Robin Scherbatsky : In Canada, it's very big up there. You know, it's, it's meet a nice guy, get married, "vault some poles". But I never wanted that. Of course, it's, it's one thing not to want something, it's another to be told you can't have it. I guess it's, it's just nice knowing that you... you could, some day, do it, if you changed your mind. But now, all of a sudden, that door is closed.

  Lily Aldrin : [Not getting it]  What about the one where you ski and shoot, at the same time? That seems like something you'd be good at.

• Ted Mosby : I miss stockings. My step-dad Clint made us get rid of anything that reminds him of the commercialization of Christmas.

  Lily Aldrin : I thought you said he dresses up as Santa?

  Ted Mosby : Yeah, but to protest gender stereotypes, he plays Santa as a woman - though he keeps the beard. The result... is... disturbing.
