Quotes 

• Marshall Eriksen : [Lily is upset that her father paid little attention over the phone that she was pregnant]  Hey baby, I'm sorry. I want our kid to believe that the universe is magical, you know, like my dad taught me.

  Lily Aldrin : You know what my dad taught me? Nothing, 'cause he was never there.

  [Grabs Marshall's Enigmas of the Mystical book and makes a fake reading] 

  Lily Aldrin : June 22nd, 1996. Brooklyn, New York: A man misses his daughter's high-school graduation. Later, she discovers that his babysitting money has been spent on a game called "Who Stole the Babysitting Money?" He never saw the irony in that. December 31st, 2011: A woman calls her father to tell him she's pregnant. He says "Great. Thanks," and hangs up on her.

  Marshall Eriksen : ...and after pushing her to call him, "I am a Bigfoot" is discovered in her husband's mouth.

  Lily Aldrin : I'm glad you're a believer baby, but I'm never gonna believe in an enigma of the mystical if I don't see it with my own eyes. Truth is, my father never taught me to believe in anything... but myself.

  Marshall Eriksen : Well, if it helps at all, I believe in you too.

  Lily Aldrin : [Slight smile]  There's a pretty good chance I don't exist.

• Marshall Eriksen : Lily, don't you think it's a bit narcissistic not to allow for something bigger out there? Something whose beauty and power and majesty humbles us?

  Lily Aldrin : God?

  Marshall Eriksen : Werewolves.
