  • Jerry Whitaker : [Jerome "Jerry" Whittaker sees Barney try to dismantle a basketball hoop over his driveway]  Barney, what is going on?

    Barney Stinson : This is *mine*.

    Jerry Whitaker : I don't understand.

    Barney Stinson : JJ gets a childhood, a dad, a real family, and a basketball hoop? No, no, I at least get the hoop, I'm taking it with me.

    Jerry Whitaker : Please, just come down and talk to me.

    Barney Stinson : [Angry]  Why? Why should I? You're lame, okay? You're just some lame, suburban dad.

    Jerry Whitaker : Why does that make you so mad?

    Barney Stinson : Because if you were going to be some

    [agitated] 

    Barney Stinson : lame, suburban dad, why couldn't you have been that for *me*?

    Jerry Whitaker : Look, Barney, I know I screwed up.

    Barney Stinson : Oh, "screwed up" doesn't even begin to describe what I've been through...

    Jerry Whitaker : I know, I know, I KNOW! I want to fix this and I don't know how! Please, tell me what I can do! I'll do anything!

    [Barney continues trying to remove the hoop, Jerry briefly goes back inside and returns with a tool box] 

    Jerry Whitaker : You'll never get it down like that.

    [gives screwdriver to Barney, who hits hoop with it like a hammer] 

    Jerry Whitaker : No, Barney, Barney! Put the pointy end into the grooves. That's it, now turn it. Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

    [Barney begins unscrewing] 

    Jerry Whitaker : I have no good excuse, Barney. It took me years before I was even able to look myself in the mirror for the way I let you down. It took courage to send me that letter. More courage than I've ever had. I owe you a lifetime of apologies, and I, I just... I have no idea where to begin.

  • Jerry Whitaker : [Telling a story]  ... So then all the county judges started shouting "More Quiche, More Quiche!"
