TEXT: Ted (2030): Children, your aunt Lily has always been among those who like their birthday. Really. The alarm goes off at 12: 00 and Lily wakes. Lily: It's my birthday! Ted (2030): It's a good thing she married Marshall. The clock shows 9: 00. Lily: It's still my birthday! Ted (2030): Because he loves to prepare on birthdays. Marshall enters the room carrying a tray. Marshall: Feliz cumpleanos, baby. The theme of this breakfast in bed is... "Spanish Interlude." (A musician enters the room and opens the curtain Marshall) How have we landed on the lyric rolling hills of northern Spain? Baby, it will be huge tonight. We five, dinner well dressed, and Ted brings your cognac cheesecake Pumpkin at Edgar. I'll go shopping super secret birthday. And I took him because I do not like the way he looks at you. Robin, Barney, Marshall and Lily's birthday party at the latter's apartment Marshall and Lily. Lily: A new camera! Thank you, Marshall. I love it! Marshall: Small bonus, I took pictures of me naked before packing. With a node. Lily: There was not a knot. Marshall: On the other device. Lily: Thank you. I will make great photos of our group with that. Ted (2030): Children, have you seen the photo album of Lily... Bound in leather, acid-free paper, adorable handwritten captions. And most importantly, the group photo. Nice picture, eh? But what you do not see are the 10 seconds before this photo was taken. Flashback 10 seconds before the photo... Lily: I want the perfect group shot. Marshall put yourself between Robin and Barney. Barney: Why? Lily: You know... Light, color, balance, aperture... Robin: You say stuff pictures. Expect. You do not want it to look like a couple, right? Lily: Of course. You will not last! The photo is forever. Barney: How dare you? Robin: It's so rude. Barney: It's true. Robin: Totally. It is a tightrope, but still. Ted (2030)
SUMMARY:

Robin tries to catch Barney in a bad position to take a photograph.
