HIMYM - SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

This has to go down in How I Met Your Mother history as one of those truelly legendary episodes - known as the "The Duel". This is one of those episodes that were up in my book as a strong contender for episode of the season!

The episode features mainly our lead three friends - Marshall, Lily and Ted with Robin and Barney lending support. Even though Barney invents a concept that will revolutionalize the dating world - the Lemon Law! As we have seen so far - Ted and Marshall live together but with Lily being engaged to Marshall she spends most of her time there as well, only going back to her own apartment occasionally. In this episode Lily returns to her apartment and finds her landlady died and her apartment being sold and turned into a Chinese Food Restaurant! So Ted and Marshall decide to let her move in with them - but unknown to Ted - some small things start to change which he doesn't really like so in a attempt to reclaim the apartment he buys a english phone booth - hilarious!! And to counter that Marshall takes down the swords they hung on the wall to put one of Lily's paintings on the wall - which leads them to 'the duel' - which was awesome, but ended with Ted stabbing Lily in the shoulder as she comes in the door! Legen ... dary!!!!!!!



Barney - ism:
Barney creates the Lemon Law.
Definition - from the moment a date begins you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to commit to an entire evening. And if you don't, it's no hard feelings just good night, thanks for playing, see you never!

Quote of the episode:
Barney is on a date and Ted has to make the 'fake emergency phone call' to get Barney out of the date. Robin takes Ted's phone and makes the call
[Barney's phone rings, he answers]
BARNEY: Hello
ROBIN: Hi, there sexy
BARNEY: Hello, Aunt Cathy, what's up?
ROBIN: Oh nothing, just sitting here, thinking about you, hot stuff!
BARNEY: An accident? Well is Uncle Rudy gonna be ok?
ROBIN: Aunt Cathy's got an itch that only you can scratch, big boy!
BARNEY: Oh god! Why did he think he could fly his own helicopter?
ROBIN: Come on, daddy, break me off a piece of that white chocolate
BARNEY: Well, if he needs a transplant, he can have mine. I'll be right there!

Barney stammers and leaves his date - he looks rattled!

Well that concludes another wonderful episode!!
