TEXT: Ted from 2030: Kids, one morning in 2010, I opened the newspaper only to discover an op-ed written by Zoey Pierson. You remember Zoey. [FLASHBACK] Zoey: Key Ted Mosby's car. [END OF FLASHBACK] Ted from 2030: In those four column inches, she railed against me and my company, GNB, for wanting to tear down a beautiful old building: The Arcadian. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the piece ran on a Saturday, which as you both know, is Dad's crossword day. Ted: She ruined crossword day! I can't believe this. She singles me out by name. Calls me a "fat cat." Me and my "fat-cat friends." We're not fat cats. Barney: Exactly. I say, Marshall, my good man, how's my bow tie? Marshall: Impeccable, old bean. To industry! Barney: Ah, bully! Ted from 2030: Okay, that night we weren't entirely un-fat-catty. You see, every year the Natural History Museum holds its Autumn Spectacular. It's attended by some of the most powerful and important people in New York, and, thanks to Goliath National Bank... us. Inside a cab Marshall: Look at us, huh? In tuxedos? Can you imagine if our college selves saw us like this? Ted: They'd pelt us with their Phish bootlegs. Marshall: Yeah, we were pretty anti-establishment back then. Oh, God, remember Russell? [FLASHBACK] (Marshall's college room) Marshall: Nice monkey suit, Russell. Russel: Come on, guys. Marshall: Oh, I'm sorry, I can't hear you with that corporate noose around your neck. And don't even try showing up to the drum circle this weekend. (Russel leaves the room, Ted enters) Ted: Oh, hey. You guys seen Russell? I'm supposed to drive him to his mom's funeral. [END OF FLASHBACK] Robin: I wish I knew you guys back then
