TEXT: The bar Barney: So, this chick and I are going at it behind the Central Park Zoo. The Bonobo chimps start giving us a standing O, and just when I'm about to give her the same thing... What up?... I... I can't. I just... I can't. Guys, I know you count the minutes until you can escape from your humdrum lives by hearing how awesome mine is, and I love doing that for you, but I just can't tonight. Robin: What's wrong? Barney: I don't want to talk about it. Robin: Okay. Hey, you guys see Deadliest Catch last night? Ted: Did I ever! Deadliest Catch ever! Barney: All right, I'll tell you! My mother is selling the house I grew up in. All of my childhood memories gone, just like that! Ted: That sucks. I've been there, buddy. Marshall: What are you talking about? Your mother still lives in the house you grew up in. Ted: With her new hippie husband, Clint. The comfort of home is a little ruined when someone turns your old room into what I'm pretty sure is a Tantric s*x temple. With all the bamboo, pot smoke and '60s music, it's like my old G.I. Joes are frozen in some weird Vietnam flashback. Barney: Anyway, I need you guys to come out to Staten Island on Saturday and help box everything up. (laughing) Lily: You expect us to spend a whole day packing up your mom's house? Barney: Of course not. It's a two-day job. Robin: Pass. Ted: Same. Marshall: Unsubscribe. Barney: You guys are adorable. You seriously believe that I, Barney Stinson, can't talk you into this? I got the Queen to give me a fist bump. Ted: No one believes that story. Lily: You may be able to talk the brain surgeons you pick up into doing whatever you want, but it's not gonna work on us. Staten Island, Barney's family home Lily: How did he do that? [OPENING C
