<i>NARRATOR: Kids, sometimes
wonderful things
<i>come out
of horrible situations.
<i>Like, remember that trip
I took to Hong Kong
<i>where I got stuck
in the airport?
<i>Well, a funny thing
happened that day.
Yes, I realize it's raining,
but, come on, it's 2021.
We can make cell phones
that project holograms,
but a light drizzle shuts down
a whole airport?
Hey, Ted.
Hey...
There she is.
Wow.
Wendy the Waitress.
Wendy the Waitress!
I was just saying--
what are you doing here?
<i>What was she doing there?
<i>For that, we have to back up
about ten years.
So, Barney, I hear
you and Nora
had a fun time
at laser tag.
I don't know where
you heard that.
It was a disaster.
Not according to her.
Oh, my God, this
was so much fun.
We have to do this again.
We do, we have to.
You want to grab
a drink right now?
No, I'm kind of tired.
But...
this is my number.
Give me a call.
Absolutely.
How is that a disaster?
She didn't want to get drinks.
And as soon as a girl says
she doesn't want
to get drinks, well...
You want to grab a drink right
now? No, I'm kind of tired.
(muted trumpet imitating adults'
speaking voice from "Peanuts")
Absolutely.
It's a shame, too.
She was a really great
laser tag partner.
She's tiny, so she's
allowed to push kids.
Please, Cheese.
You like this girl.
What? Nora?
No, I don't.
Barney, you can't say
her name without smiling.
That's...
Nora.
Sorry, sorry.
I was thinking
of a funny thing
that Nora said.
Hmm.
Stop it.
No... ra.
Nah...
Damn it, what is
the matter with me?
You like her.
You should call her.
Call her?
Robin, three things:
she had a nice face,
her booty was in place,
but Barney don't chase.
That is ridiculous.
Barney, you know what,
here's some advice.
(muted trumpet imitating adults'
speaking voice from "Peanuts")
Totally.

<i>NARRATOR: Kids, I had
just started dating Zoey.
<i>And when you first start
dating someone,
<i>everyone wants to know the
same thing. How did we meet?
Oh, Ted, she doesn't want...
No, it's a cute story.
Once upon a time...
<i>Zoey was married to this
super rich, super creepy guy
<i>called The Captain.
<i>So when Zoey
and I became friends,
<i>I was careful
not to cross any lines.
Oh, man, this movie is scary.
I know, right?
<i>But then one day,
<i>Zoey and The Captain
had a huge fight.
<i>He flipped out
and demanded a divorce.
<i>And she was heartbroken.
<i>But after a little
soul-searching,
<i>she ended up back in my life,
and the rest, as they say,
is history.
Actually, I said,
"How's your meat?"
Oh.
A little cold.
Gee, wonder why.
Oh, Ted, did you have a
chance to pick up that box
I left at my
old apartment?
Oh. Yeah, I don't want
to see The Captain.
I mean this
in a super manly way.
That guy scares
the panties off me.
ZOEY: You don't
have to see him.
He left the box
with the doorman.
If it's really important to you,
I will pick it up tomorrow.
All right, guys, I have
to go. I have a big
meaningless stack of paperwork
that I have to get off my desk
to make room for tomorrow's big
meaningless stack of paperwork.
But it's all worth it,
you know, 'cause at least I know
I'm making the world a... place.
All right, see you guys later.
I'm worried
about Marshall.
He doesn't seem like
himself lately.
Yeah, he's been really... quiet.
Well, that's just what
Minnesota guys are like--
strong, silent,
you know, man's man.
Like Prince.
No, it's more than that.
It's like, all the stuff
he used to love,
he suddenly has
no interest in anymore.
Oh.
Ha-wink.
Excuse me?
Lily, in my travels,
I've developed a finely
calibrated sense
of how long it's
been since--
How do I not put
this delicately?--
a girl's been porked.
And, boo,
you've been
pork-free so long,
you're practically kosher.
It's been a while.
Five weeks, three days
by my estimation.
You should work
at a carnival.
I tried.
They're pretty strict
with backgrounds.
Anyway, we should
get going.
Yeah, I'll walk out
with you guys.
Good night.
Good night, guys.
18 weeks.
Damn it.
Okay, yes, I am in
a bit of a dry spell.
Hmm.
But I just started
a new job,
and dating's been
on the back burner, and...
Shh.
Child, listen.
If you're really
hurting for it,
I'd be more than happy
to throw you one.
Throw me one?
Yeah.
We're exes. We're probably
due for a backslide.
Or we could just
do it the normal way.
Oh, I see
what's going on.
Yeah?
This is about Nora.
You met a girl, you liked her,
but then you missed your shot.
And now you're trying to hook up
with your ex-girlfriend
to prove to yourself
that you don't care.
Robin, you could
not be more--
What do you mean
I missed my shot?
Nora met a guy.
What?!
(clears throat)
(quietly):
What?
Yep. Off the market.
He's taking her to Cafe L'Amour
this Friday night.
But "L'Amour"
means love!
They're going to
the cafe of love!
I'm fine. It's fine.
Point is,
Robin, I don't
even like Nora.
Damn it!
Oh, baby,
why aren't you in bed?
I can't sleep.
Mmm.
Anything I can do
to help you with that?
Maybe after this
documentary on garbage.
Man, I am losing
my touch.
MAN (rhotacistic):
Nearly twice the size of Texas,
the Gweat Pacific Garbage Patch,
or "Garbage Island,"
is an enviwonmental disaster.
Sepawated from its pawents,
this young bird stwuggles
to survive,
stwangling itself in the
plastic wings of a six-pack.
Marshall Eriksen, I think
you know what you have to do.
I have to save
the planet!
Is it over? I call on top.
Ow!
<i>NARRATOR: A few days later, I
headed over to The Captain's building
<i>to get Zoey's box.
I'm here to...
Ted.
What a surprise.
Ted.
Captain. I...
You've come to rescue me
from the capsized wreckage
of my marriage.
Mm...
I hesitated calling you
because I know you and Zoey
were friendly.
Pssh, nah... But
my wife has left me.
All my friends
have abandoned me.
Please,
tell me you're on my side.
(nervous chuckle)
Let's adjourn to the study.
Garbage Island.
You haven't heard
of Garbage Island?
It's an island...
made of garbage!
It's in the
Pacific Ocean.
It's twice the
size of Texas!
In other words,
one-eighth the size of Canada.
So...
Guys, I'm going
environmental, okay?
Phase one: the bar.
I've already convinced
MacLaren's to implement
a new green initiative.
That's 'cause of you?
I got to carry
an 80-pound bag of bottles
to the recycling center
every night.
I threw my back out.
You're welcome... Earth.
Phase two:
GNB.
Tomorrow I'm going
to make a presentation
in front of the board
about how we can cut
our carbon footprint by
half for only $12 million.
Dude, don't do that.
All they're going to hear
is "$12 million," and
all you're going to hear
is the sound of the door
smacking your fired ass.
And some muffled
laughter.
Which I apologize
for in advance.
TED:
Guys,
I got a problem.
I ran into The Captain.
Ted, beneath this
lustrous mane, I wear
the horns of a cuckold.
Zoey left me
for another man.
Wow.
Do you have any idea
who it could be?
<i>NARRATOR: The Captain then
told a story much different
than the one I'd been telling.
<i>But one maybe just as true.
Once upon a time,
Zoey and I were happy.
Blissful as Arcadian shepherds.
<i>I was Poseidon,
<i>she my Amphitrite.
<i>I dare say,
Scylla and Charybdis
could not have torn us asunder.
We had great big boners
for each other.
But then...
enter the scoundrel.
Oh, man, this movie's scary.
I know, eh?
<i>I don't know
what he looks like,
<i>but I picture him
with a mustache.
<i>TED:
Yes!
Limit the search to guys
with mustaches. Smart.
Anyway, soon
the inevitable happened.
<i>She told me she was in love
with someone else.
<i>Obviously, it made me angry.
And that's the last time
you saw her.
But I gathered
my composure,
<i>and told her I'd do
anything to keep her.
<i>I begged her not to leave.
<i>We made love that night.
That's damn good brandy.
But morning came,
and she was gone.
Oh, Captain...
don't blame yourself.
I don't blame myself.
Hmm?
There's only one man I blame
for this.
Me.
I'm the bad guy.
Well, maybe to him
you are, but in the story
of picking up
the box for Zoey,
you're the hero.
Damn it! The box!
Baby, baby, I really got to
work on this presentation.
Oh, that's too bad,
'cause I was going to make
a little presentation of my own.
Okay, um, how about this:
from now until
tomorrow afternoon,
I do this, and then
tomorrow night, I do that.
Deal.
Come on, come on.
Lily!
You lying little minx.
I happened to be
at Cafe L'Amour tonight
from 5:00 p.m. until closing,
reading a newspaper with
two holes cut out of it,
and I never saw Nora
or this Italian race car driver
she's dating.
Sorry. Who said
anything about an...?
Come on, you just know
he's an Italian race car driver.
No, he's not. He doesn't exist.
I made the whole thing up
to see if you like her.
And you do.
So you should just call her.
(scoffs)
Here is her number.
And I also
programmed it
into your phone while you were
in the bathroom.
Wow. That was a joke.
You just got here, remember?
You really are smitten.
No, I'm not.
I'm Barney Stinson.
I don't get smitten, I smite!
You are totally smitten,
but you're scared of being
in a relationship.
No, I'm not.
I can't be anyone's
boyfriend, Robin.
If I got serious with Nora,
it would be like
if Mother Teresa focused
all her attention on
one really hot orphan.
With great penis
comes great responsibility.
Okay, Mother Teresa,
throw me one.
Sorry?
I would like it
if you threw me one.
Fastball, right down the middle.
Actually, if I recall correctly,
a slight curve.
Careful, Robin, I'll do it.
Oh, I don't think you will.
Hmm.
Because you don't want to
screw things up with Nora.
Hey, prove me wrong.
Tomorrow night, my place.
Don't poke the dragon, Robin,
'cause the dragon
will poke you back.
Sex now, we'll do
the foreplay after.
Oh, no, baby,
come on.
Today didn't go so well.
The green initiative,
for only $12 million,
will change the way...
Okay, I've heard enough.
Don't we already have
a green initiative?
I mean,
didn't we do a whole thing?
Hang a banner, make a video,
Sting was there.
I thought I met Sting.
You did meet Sting.
Yeah, I met Sting.
So why on Earth would we spend
another $12 million?
Well, because we can
always do more.
Yeah, but I met Sting.
Well, meeting Sting isn't gonna
fix anything, Arthur!
(sighs) Who here supports
Eriksen's proposal?
Well, he has some good points.
Meeker, you're fired!
And as for you, Eriksen...
His father just died.
(sighs)...nice presentation.
We'll keep it under advisement.
Meeker got fired
because of me.
I'm the bad guy.
No, sweetie,
just-just put all that
out of your mind and relax.
Look, I got you a six-pack
of tall boys from the deli.
(both moan softly)
Hey, baby.
Yeah?
(clears throat) What happened
to the plastic rings
that held the six-pack together?
Oh, I-I don't know.
I threw them down
the garbage chute.
Let's just use
the handcuffs instead.
Baby, birds can get
caught in those
and then they dwown in
a sea of wubbish!
Weren't you listening?
Don't you care
about Garbage Island?
Marshall, right now,
I don't give a wat's ass
about Garbage Island.
Well, I do.
I got to find those rings!
Cwap.
Hi, I'm here
to pick up...
Hello, Ted.
To the study?
To the study!
Mmm.
Ted...
I know.
Know what?
I know who stole my Zoey.
No man likes to be betrayed,
especially by a friend.
You can imagine then
how painful it was
when I learned that the name
of my betrayer is...
Ted...
when I tell you
who it is, you're gonna...
(makes explosion sound)
It's my doorman!
That son of a bitch!
You think Zoey's sleeping
with the doorman?
He always winks and tips his hat
when he sees her.
I know how these things work.
He holds her package,
and pretty soon,
she's holding his.
And then there's
his glorious mustache.
I will have him fired for this!
No, no, no,
you can't fire him.
You're right.
Maritime protocol demands
physical retribution!
Oh, my God! No, no!
No physical retribution!
Stop!
Who is this flower child,
and what has he done
with my lionhearted friend
Ted Mosby?!
Look, look, yes, yes,
the doorman is a scoundrel.
The mustache alone
gives that away.
He's a rake, a rogue,
a rapscallion!
Whoa, "rapscallion" may be going
a bit far, Ted.
But it's not his fault, okay?
It's nobody's fault.
You and Zoey
have nothing in common.
For God's sake, Captain,
she hates boats!
You're just
not right for each other.
Look, I know it's tough to face,
but I'm sure
a small part of you
has always known that.
(sighs)
Why couldn't she
just like boats?
Just to have
one thing in common?
Other girls like boats,
don't they?
Of course they do.
And you'll find one.
And you'll be much happier
with her
than you ever were with Zoey.
When you put it that way,
I should almost
thank the doorman.
Yeah, yeah!
And, you know, since,
since it doesn't really matter
who Zoey's dating now...
It doesn't, it really doesn't.
It doesn't.
It's me. You're welcome.
Okay, baby, what gives?
I'm sorry, but neither of us
are getting any action
until I find those rings.
I hope this doesn't
make me look desperate.
All right, Robin,
give it to me.
Damn it, Barney,
you failed my test!
You know,
I- I try to root for you.
Even as your ex-girlfriend,
when you meet someone,
I'm like,
"Yeah, Barney, go get her!"
But you know what?
Just forget it.
You're never gonna change.
I'm done trying to help you.
The number.
Give me the number,
'cause I really can't tell...
Is that a seven or a nine?
It's a five, idiot.
A fi...? In what moon man
language is that a five?
"Moon man language"?
What does that even mean?
How am I supposed
to see that's a five?
Look how you taped this
up... Fine, fine, fine.
I have a phone call to make.
Barney.
Go get her.
Listen, Zoey,
I need to ask you something.
Did I steal you?
Well... yeah.
You did.
By being the kind of
sweet, thoughtful guy
who'd never even think
of stealing someone,
you stole me.
So I'm the bad guy.
Great.
Well, the story isn't over, Ted.
It'll be years before we know
who's the good guy
and who's the bad guy.
I mean, yes,
divorce sucks,
but sometimes
things need to fall apart
to make way for better things.
If you say so.
I'm just saying,
the eggs are already broken.
Let's make sure we get
a pretty good omelet out of it.
Okay, Marshall,
seriously, what's going on?
He'll never get to see
how I turn out.
What do you mean?
My dad. You know,
I used to, um,
I used to always tell him
that I was gonna be
an environmental lawyer.
And he was always
so proud of me for that.
But he never
got to see the version of me
that was anything but
a corporate stooge.
And now it's too late.
And we're starting a family,
you know.
Are you avoiding
sleeping with me
'cause you don't want
to start a family?
Lily, if we have a baby
right now,
that is just it for me.
The cement will dry,
and I will be stuck
at GNB forever.
Marshall,
if you want to quit your job and
go work for the NRDC right now,
then you need
to do that right now.
And then,
once you've cleaned up
all the oceans
and saved the planet--
you know, like, a year from
now-- then we'll start a family.
I don't know.
So far, in the name of
saving the planet,
I've ruined your night,
I practically broke Wendy's back
and I got Meeker fired.
The guy must hate me.
Meeker doesn't hate you.
<i>NARRATOR: Oh, Meeker
hated him, all right.
<i>After all, Marshall was the one
who got him fired.
<i>Meeker knew we all hung out
at MacLaren's.
<i>So that night, he went there
to confront Marshall.
<i>But as luck would have it...
Are you guys...?
Closed. Sorry.
Thanks.
Rough night?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
It's no one's fault.
Except for Marshall Eriksen.
What did you just say?
Uh, I said
it's Marshall Eriksen's fault.
Why, do you know him?
Know him? I hate that guy.
Me, too.
Well, hey.
(chuckles)
<i>And the rest, as they say...
...is history.
And three kids later,
we decided to come here
on our second honeymoon.
Wow.
That's a pretty good omelet.
Oh, and hey,
what about you?
You still with Zoey?
No, no, no.
Wow, that did not end well.
But it's all
for the best,
'cause now I'm married to
an amazing girl,
we have two kids.
It's actually a funny story
of how we met.
<i>I was a best man
at this wedding...
Listen, Ted, it's great
seeing you, but we got to run.
Okay, well, have a safe trip.
It was great seeing you.
Hello.
Marshall.
Hey, Ted.
Hey. You will not believe
who I just ran into.
