Comment: Why Robin doesn't want Barney to go to the strip club. Here it goes :)
They hardly talk on the way home from the Lusty Leopard. She slips into his bed, not facing him.
"I don't want you to go to strip clubs," she mutters into the silence of his bedroom. "You… watching these girls… makes me… jealous."
He wants to say that he'd never do anything with them anyway, that she should chill out, but he's lost for words.
Half an hour later, he clears his throat, knowing she's still awake.
"I'll try."
She finally turns around, wrapping her arms around him, tangling her legs with his.
Yep, this might actually be worth it.
My first draft of this had Barney say "Okay, I'll stop going," but it didn't quite feel right. Season 5 Barney was not ready for that ;)
