TEXT: Ted from 2030: Kids, when your Uncle Marshall finally quit Goliath National Bank to do something better with his life, he left on great terms with his boss. Arthur: Good luck, Marshall. And promise you'll list me as a reference. Ted from 2030: Which made Marshall's big interview with a respected environmental organization all the more confusing. Head of the environmental Organization: I'm sorry. I don't think you're the kind of person we're looking for. I just got off the phone with Arthur Hobbs over at GNB. Arthur: Oh, yeah, I worked with Marshall Eriksen... at least I did when he actually showed up. [FLASHBACKS] Arthur: Marshall! Hey, it's, uh, it's 2:30. If it's no big deal, we'd sure love it if you'd try to get here at least before lunch. Marshall: Yeah? And I'd sure love to give a rat's ass. Assistant: Oh! Mr. Eriksen... You're not wearing any pants. Marshall: Your move. Assistant: But Marshall, wh... What about the environment? Marshall: Screw the environment! Head of the environmental Organization: "Screw the environment"?! Arthur: Oh, yeah. We fired him when we caught him clubbing a seal in his office with an even cuter seal. The guy's a maniac. He's just an awful, flatulent racist. [END OF FLASHBACKS] Marshall: Sir, none of that is... Head of the environmental Organization: Sorry. Interview over. Outside GNB Ted from 2030: And so Marshall stormed over to GNB, where he ran into Zoey. Zoey: If you want to get back at those jerks, I have a proposition for you. At the Bar Barney: Invitations for the demolition of The Arcadian. As head of the project, I get to decide how we knock it down. I'm torn between training an actual coyote to use an ACME dynamite plunger, or hooking up a fuse to Eddie Van Halen's guitar that goes off the second he hits the last note to "Hot For Teacher." Barney
SUMMARY:
When Marshall and Barney argue over the destruction of the Arcadian Hotel, Robin and Lily try to mix the right combination of cocktails that will force them to make up. Meanwhile, Ted plans a romantic weekend away with Zoey.
