Positive Negativity

Robin: I wish last night never happened.
Barney: I don’t.
Robin: What do you mean?
Barney: What if this whole thing, it isn’t the story of how we both made a horrible mistake that ruined our relationships. What if it is actually the story of how we got back together?
Robin: I’m gonna ask you one last time. Is this what you want?
Barney: It’s what we both want. Why else are we rushing to tell them what we did, on a boat? That is a terrible idea.
Robin: Barney, we’ve tried this, and we failed. Why try again?
Barney: Because I haven’t stopped thinking about you, and you haven’t stopped thinking about me. 
Robin: I’m such a mess. Why do you even like me?
Barney: I guess, ‘cause you’re almost as messed up as I am.

Robin: There’s something I have to tell you.
Kevin: Then don’t. 
Robin: What?
Kevin: If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a therapist is that just because something needs to be told, it doesn’t always mean that it needs to be heard.
Robin: Kevin, I did something bad.
Kevin: We’ve all done bad things, it doesn’t mean we’re bad people. Look, I don’t care about every detail from your past, and I hope you don’t care about mine either. What I do care about is you, and that from tonight forward, you’re in this as much I am. What do you think?
Robin: I’m such a mess. Why do you even like me?
Kevin: I am constantly amazed by the things you say, entranced by the things you do, and unlike a certain jalapeno-coconut-vodka-martini, you’re easy on the eyes. If we’re together long enough, I hope that one day you see yourself the way I see you.
