How I Met Your Mother2005

Ted Mosby:
[after being rejected from yet another job] This is a disaster. How am I gonna come back from this?

Lily Aldrin:
Okay, I'm just gonna ask this. Do you really wanna come back from this?

Ted Mosby:
What's that supposed to mean?

Lily Aldrin:
Architecture is killing you, Ted, and it's killing us to watch it killing you. You're like that goat with the washcloth. You want it so bad, and every time the world tries to take it away from you, you keep grabbing it! But you know what? It's just a washcloth. Why do you even want it?

Ted Mosby:
Because I... I have to be an architect! That's... that's the plan.

Lily Aldrin:
Oh, screw the plan. I planned on being a famous artist. Marshall planned on being an environmental lawyer, Robin planned on being a TV reporter.

Robin Scherbatsky:
Uh, I *am* a TV reporter. I'm on every morning at 4 AM.

Lily Aldrin:
Is that still on? Good for you.

Robin Scherbatsky:
Can somebody watch it, please?

Lily Aldrin:
Barney planned on being a violinist.

Barney Stinson:
Lily!

Lily Aldrin:
Don't tell me things! Look, you can't design your life like a building. It-it doesn't work that way. You just have to live it, and it'll design itself.

Ted Mosby:
So, what, I should just do nothing?

Lily Aldrin:
No, listen to what the world is telling you to do, and take the leap.
