Go To

Richard: Alright, I'll do it. [...] If kids is what it takes to be with you, then kids it is. [...] If I have to, I'll do it all again. I'll do the 4 o'clock feeding thing, I'll go to the PTA meetings, I'll coach the soccer team.
Monica: Really?
Richard: Yeah, if I have to. Monica, I don't want to lose you. So, if I have to do it all again, I will.
Monica: You are the most wonderful man. And if you hadn't said, "If I have to", like, seventeen times, then I'd be saying "Okay, let's do it."
Richard: (sighs) But you're not.
Monica: I can't believe what I'm gonna have to say: I wanna have a baby. But I don't wanna have one with someone who doesn't really wanna have one.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm knockin'.
It's just that I'm not in the market
For a girl who wants to love only me.
Yes, and I ain't sayin' you ain't pretty.
All I'm sayin's I'm not ready for any person,
Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me.
So Goodbye, I'll be leavin'.
I see no sense in the cryin' and grievin'.
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me.
— "Different Drum"

Ted: We're not doing this, are we?
Robin: I don't want to have kids in Argentina.
Ted: And I don't want to have kids in Argentina.
Robin: So, where does that leave us?
Ted: Well...we could stay together and pretend this stuff doesn't matter...or we could give back the blue french horn.
Robin: You stole a blue french horn for me.
Ted: I would've stolen you a whole orchestra.
How I Met Your Mother, "Something Blue"

'Cause I can't wait for you
Can't stay for you, won't change for you
And I don't want the same things as you
Not chasin' you, not blamin' you
But I don't want the same things
"Valley Girls", blackbear

If you laugh at different comics,
If you root for different teams,
Waste no time,
Weep no more,
Show him what the door is for!
Rub him outa the roll call
And drum him outa your dreams!
South Pacific, "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair"
