TEXT: Ted from 2030: When I first moved to New York, it was dingy, disgusting, ugly, flea-ridden, stinky and altogether terrifying, but then, sadly. The whole city started to go uphill. The streets got a little cleaner, the rents got a little higher, and one by one, the crappy old places we loved began to disappear. The Elbow Room, an old punk rock club, became a drugstore. McHale's, a working-class watering hole, became a fast-food place. And Fez, a Moroccan-themed lounge, became a bank. And not just any bank. At Ted and Marshall's apartment Barney: Goliath National Bank. The world leader in credit and banking. God, I love Goliath National Bank! Ted: Okay, first of all, you look like the last pick in the draft. And, second, why are you so excited about some bank? Barney: Our company just bought them out in a ruthless takeover. Took two months. Cost 2,000 jobs. It was brutal. Who wants a T-shirt? (He throws one to Ted.) Hey, Marshall, they're hiring in the legal department. I could get you a job. Lily: Barney, Marshall didn't quit his last soul-sucking corporate job just to go work at a bank. He's gonna be an environmental lawyer. Ted from 2030: That was the plan, anyway. (We can see Marshall in front of the mirror of the bathroom.) Over the next few weeks, Marshall went on a lot of interviews. Marshall (to the mirror): You are confident, you are energetic, you are focused! Ted from 2030: A lot of interviews. Marshall(to the mirror): You are flexible on salary, you're willing to compromise, you're not gonna cry this time. Ted from 2030: Too many interviews. Marshall(to the mirror): You are sad, you are beaten down, you will get through this, come home, get in your big underpants and take a nap. Ted from 2030: Which brings us to September 29, the night of the burger. At McLaren's Ted: So, what do you
SUMMARY:
