“Two words: Breast. Implants.”

Barney Stinson
  • When she wakes up from a coma.
  • When one of you moves back to the same place after having been separated by an earlier move.
  • When it was your fault and you understand that now.
  • For tax fraud/other schemes.
  • In order to vanquish a mutual mortal enemy.
  • While drunk and lonely (CAVEAT: Only applies if you’re not a suicidal alcoholic)
  • Because it would make grandma happy and she’s on her deathbed as a result of something you feel guilty about
  • If you’ve both had a sex change and want to try it in a different way.
  • If you’ve forgotten her through some sort of amnesia or messed up Sunshine of the Spotless Mind sort of scenario.
  • If you discover that the terrible things she did were actually done while being possessed by an evil demon.
  • Because— really— you couldn’t have done any better anyway
  • Because your horrible treachery will soon be uncovered
  • I guess if you’ve both really changed so very much such that the same problems won’t ever come up again. Maybe.
