"How I Met Your Mother" Quotes 5: "Atlantic City" Quiz

Answer: Grandma

Despite her presumed being elderly, Marshall's grandmother (unseen throughout the series) had to dispose a halfway delinquent behavior, at least through phone calls. This phenomenon recurred when Marshall lost his password to open an account to his bar exam results and received phone calls from his fellow examinees and his grandmother, who claimed that her nurses "are stealing [her] medicine" (although they were supposedly misplaced).

"It's okay, baby. You're not just realizing that now, are you?"

Answer: "What you don't know could hurt you."

Throughout the series, Robin has found disgust, saying the lines given by the teleprompter, in a certain news program. This was not the case in this episode.

"Mike, you can read, right?" "Yeah, I'm the best at reading."

Answer: Yes

"Details" is a men's lifestyle magazine in the United States, the company of which was bought by Condé Nast in 1988. As the management of "Details" was transferred to a sister company under Condé Nast, it encountered revamps on its design and lay-out.

"Oh! Congratulations, Lily! Marshall, you're getting married?!"

Answer: bridal articles for good luck

The expressions "something old", "something new", "something borrowed" and "something blue" to refer to the articles that a bride wears for good luck were derived from a traditional English rhyme. The same expressions were utilized as titles to four of the episodes in the series to recount the weddings of Lily and Marshall (Season 2), and Barney and Robin (Season 9).

"Ah, A.C. Always in decline, never hitting bottom... It's good to be back, old friend."

Answer: twenty

Lily allowed the boys 20 minutes to find the veil for her wedding with Marshall while she finds the bouquet. Barney took the task to find it, letting Marshall and Ted to gamble for a while. Ted, then, questioned Marshall whether he is nervous about his wedding to come after twenty minutes.

"Craps?" "Not that nervous..." "No, I mean, do you want to play craps?" "Oh, yeah... Definitely!"

Answer: two minutes

The 20-minute countdown had already started as the boys are about to find the veil. As watched in TV, it took moments before Barney reunited with Marshall and Ted to say that he found a veil for the former's wedding with Lily. The lines of Marshall succeeding the given dialogue said like this--"Barney, I don't have any time for a bachelor party. I've got, like, 18 minutes."

"18 minutes?"

Answer: "Unbelievable!"

While Marshall knew the guys had minimal time--only 18 minutes--to stage a bachelor party before his wedding Lily, Ted thought twice. This scene cuts to the entrance hall to the chapel, into where the guys run to bring the veil to Lily. Marshall blew the cover, saying that they were in a strip club for these 18 minutes, much to Ted and Barney's surprise.

"We went to a strip club." "Dude!" "Unbelievable!"

Answer: playing keno

As the receptionist announced that she could not allow Lily and Marshall for a wedding in Atlantic City as they lack a marriage license, Barney joined in to play keno, only failing to search for the numbers the receptionist exclaimed--"35" and "27".

"Bright side--the bachelor party continues!" "Yes! 'Continues'? You mean 'starts'. He means 'starts'. We went to a strip club."

Answer: courthouse, waived

As Lily and Marshall could not have their ad hoc wedding in the casino chapel without a marriage license, the receptionist advised them to go to a courthouse to apply for a license without suffering a 3-day grace period. She said that she heard about one couple who applied to get married very early, knowing that the groom is expected to go "to Iraq tomorrow to defend [his] country".

"The last one I heard was 'I'm going to Iraq to tomorrow defend my country' but, you know, give yours a whirl."

Answer: No

The registrar joked in the process, as Lily and Marshall inquired to apply for a marriage license without enduring the waiting period. She gives positive responses, at first, but shifts to saying that she would say so whenever such is possible but is impossible in reality. Robin reacted when the registrar said that they were filmed for the comedy program "Candid Camera".

"Why are you doing this to us?!" "'Cause you're on 'Candid Camera'!" "Really?" "Is what I would say--" "You know what? We get it."

Answer: their seats being taken by elderly people

This scene illustrated an illusion of the gang having gone to a very old age, waiting for a judge to attend to Lily and Marshall's marriage. In actuality, the gang had only gone to a vending machine to buy snacks and returned to see old people occupying the seats.

"You throwing a big free party with lots of booze and food, and all your single, desperate girlfriends from college? Yeah, glad we dodged that bullet..."

Answer: Marshall (A), Lily (B), Ted (C)

After failing to get a marriage license from a courthouse in Atlantic City, the gang went back to the casino, where Lily thought of having the marriage with Marshall via a ship captain's administration. A marriage outside New Jersey's mainland boundaries, according to her, would waive them from applying for one.

"Excuse me. Are you a ship captain?" "This is my machine!"

Answer: 5,000

The first to be seen by the guys in the search for a ship captain to administer Lily and Marshall's wedding, he gave his interest to do so in exchange of 5,000 dollars. The costliness of the wedding is much to Marshall's surprise yet Lily is undaunted to pay it.

"I swear it. Nay, I 'oath' it!"

Answer: "I don't even know if he's playing."

Xing Haishi Bu Xing, a complicated gambling game, turns out to be a Chinese version of Deal or No Deal, since an attractive lady is involved, presumed to carry the prize to win, an orange jellybean. Barney, with momentary help from Marshall (a master in parlor games), succeeded. The same game took a reprise in "The Bro Mitzvah" (S8E22), where Barney lost $80,000 after achieving a black jellybean.

"Now, I had been to a lot of casinos before that night and I've been to a lot of casinos since, but in all that time I've never seen a game quite like this one. To this day, I have no idea how it was played. But, luckily, Barney did."

Answer: become one

The above-water marriage would have become official but Lily and Marshall had to call it off, realizing about introducing themselves to each other's families despite the possibility of any disgust associated with Lily's San Francisco art workshop attendance that caused the breakup. However, the ship captain pronounced them as newlyweds; the marriage then ended after 12 seconds.

"Is Robin here?" "Man, I hope so."
