TEXT: Ted from 2030: Well, kids, here we are. We've arrived, my 30th birthday. The long-awaited story of...the goat. That week started just like any other. Barney woke up in some girl's bed. In Robin's bedroom Barney: In my experience, the way this normally goes is, we lie here for a while, make a little awkward chitchat. Robin: Check. Barney: Then I make up some cabinet meeting, heart surgery, rocket test flight I've got to be at, slip out of the apartment and never call you again. Robin: And later at the bar, you tell your good friend Robin the story of your latest conquest, and she thinks to herself, "who is this sad, self-loathing idiot who climbed into bed with Barney Stinson?" Barney: Actually, you usually say that out loud. So...I just slept with my best friend's ex-girlfriend Robin: And I just slept with my ex-boyfriend's really good friend. Barney: Best friend. Robin: Okay, here's the deal, Barney. The second my feet touch the ground, this never happened. Barney: Okay. Wait. Right click, save as... Into the.bpeg folder, and okay. This never happened. It's a good plan. Robin: Now we go back to exactly the way things were before. Barney: Okay. Right. So, Robin? Robin: Yes, Barney? Barney: Guess who nailed the chick from metro news one last night? [OPENING CREDITS] Robin: I'm gonna shower... till June, and, um, since you were never here to begin with, you won't be here when I get out. Barney: Okay. This never happened. Never happened. Never... happened. Ted from 2030: But pretending it never happened wouldn't be that easy. At the Bar Ted: So, tell us, what was it like? Barney: What? Ted: Penetrating that barrier. You and I are the first ones to hit it. Well, not the first ones, certainly, but the first ones at this table. Barney: I... I... I'm... I'm... Marshall:
SUMMARY:
