TEXT: Hong Kong, 2021... Ted from 2030: Kids, sometimes wonderful things come out of horrible situations. Like, remember that trip I took to Hong Kong where I got stuck in the airport? Well, a funny thing happened that day. Ted: Yes, I realize it's raining, but, come on, it's 2021. We can make cell phones that project holograms, but a light drizzle shuts down a whole airport? Wendy: Hey, Ted. Ted: Hey... There she is. Wow. Wendy: Wendy the Waitress. Ted: Wendy the Waitress! I was just saying-- what are you doing here? Ted from 2030: What was she doing there? For that, we have to back up about ten years. [SCENE_BREAK] The Bar Robin: So, Barney, I hear you and Nora had a fun time at laser tag. Barney: I don't know where you heard that. It was a disaster. Robin: Not according to her. [FLASHBACK] Nora: Oh, my God, this was so much fun. We have to do this again. We do, we have to. Barney: You want to grab a drink right now? Nora: No, I'm kind of tired. But... this is my number. Give me a call. Barney: Absolutely. [END OF FLASHBACK] Robin: How is that a disaster? Barney: She didn't want to get drinks. And as soon as a girl says she doesn't want to get drinks, well... [FLASHBACK] Barney: You want to grab a drink right now? Nora: No, I'm kind of tired. Barney: Absolutely. [END OF FLASHBACK] Barney: It's a shame, too. She was a really great laser tag partner. She's tiny, so she's allowed to push kids. Robin: Please, Cheese. You like this girl. Barney: What? Nora? No, I don't. Robin: Barney, you can't say her name without smiling. Barney: That's... Nora. Sorry, sorry. I was thinking of a funny thing that Nora said. Hmm. Stop it. No...
