Looking smart. Have a wonderful time tonight, okay? (The car leaves) Marshall: Okay. That man is terrifying. Barney: Everything he said was nice, but I am profoundly scared. Ted: Keep smiling. He can still see us. Ted from 2030: There was just something about him. We couldn't put our finger on it until... The appartment Marshall: I figured it out! I know what's so creepy about The Captain. Robin: Okay. (Robin shows a picture and everyone scream) Marshall: Yeah. I snapped this photo of him last time he dropped off Zoey.Observe. The bottom half of his face... is smiling. He seems happy. Seems like a nice guy. (everyone is murmuring happily) But the top half of his face...wants to murder you! Cheerful. Wants to murder you. No. Cheerful. Wants to murder you. Now, hold on. Let me ask him a question. Captain, what do you think of ice cream? Oh, he loves it! Barney: Captain, what do you think of rainy days? Marshall: Whoa, he hates them. Robin: Captain, quick question: How do you feel about the Jonas Brothers? Ooh. Ted: Ooh. What-What is that? Robin and Lily: I don't get it. Marshall: He hates that he loves them. [OPENING CREDITS] Ted: Great. Okay. Hey, guys, Zoey just told me about this great Frank Lloyd Wright retrospective tonight. Who's in? Lily: Sorry, I'm, uh, I... I- I don't know, washing my hair. Marshall: Running the water. Robin: Holding the towel. Barney: And I'll be home trying to get over the fact that no one invited meto the big hair washing party. Ted: All right, fine. Guess it'll just be me and Zoe
