How Sex & hookups shows up in How I Met Your Mother S3 E14:

  • Sleeping with Barney was the biggest mistake of my life.
  • Well, she-she said I hooked up with her? What was her name? What did she look like? She didn't say her name, but she had blonde hair, boobs.
  • We are not going to make a game out of the women you've tricked into sleeping with you.
  • You're kidding me! Sorry, but I did sleep with that girl twice.
  • " Are you nuts? That would involve me speaking to a woman I've already had sex with, which, frankly, is a little bit like changing the oil in a rental car.
  • I hooked up with her in an apartment I was pretending was my own, told her I loved her, and then ditched her there.
  • It's supposed to look like we're about to hook up, Robin.
  • I'm going to go to the bathroom now, but, uh, when I come back we'll go to my place and have sex.
  • I'm the guy who keeps a scrapbook of all of the women I have slept with, but I never thought I was the guy who would sleep with a girl and not even remember her.
