1. Now, I remember
a lot of stories
Copy !req
2. from back in the days
before I met your mother.
Copy !req
3. But there's one story I don't remember.
Copy !req
4. Uncle Marshall still refers to it
as the "pineapple incident."
Copy !req
5. The night started like any other.
We were downstairs at the bar.
Copy !req
6. Hey, it's on the house.
Copy !req
7. - Whoa!
- Whoa!
Copy !req
8. It's my own concoction.
I call it the Red Dragon.
Copy !req
9. Wow.
- Thanks, Carl.
Copy !req
10. - Really sweet.
- Wow.
Copy !req
11. - We're not really doing shots, are we?
- I hope not.
Copy !req
12. - No, no, no.
- Not in a million years.
Copy !req
13. These look kind of like blood.
Copy !req
14. Okay, I know that you've all dismissed
this theory before.
Copy !req
15. But is there any chance
that Carl is a vampire?
Copy !req
16. - No.
- That's ludicrous.
Copy !req
17. No, look, I am serious. Think about it.
He always wears black,
Copy !req
18. we never see him in the daylight,
only after dark.
Copy !req
19. Oh, my God. That does describe a vampire.
Or, you know, a bartender.
Copy !req
20. - Well, I should go get dressed.
- Where you going, buddy, hot date?
Copy !req
21. I'll say.
She's going out with a billionaire.
Copy !req
22. Lily, I told you not to call him that.
Copy !req
23. Wait, you're really going out
with a billionaire?
Copy !req
24. He's not a billionaire.
He's a hundred millionaire.
Copy !req
25. Why do people always round up?
Copy !req
26. - So, where's Thurston Howell taking you?
- A charity dinner.
Copy !req
27. - Yeah, $2,000 a plate.
- $1,500! Stop rounding up.
Copy !req
28. - And it's for Third World hunger.
- You gonna put out?
Copy !req
29. What? There's only one reason
he's taking her to this dinner,
Copy !req
30. and it's not so little Mu Tu
can get his malaria pills.
Copy !req
31. I think my soul
just threw up a little bit.
Copy !req
32. Well, I'm gonna be late.
You guys have fun.
Copy !req
33. - Bye.
- See you.
Copy !req
34. - Bye.
- See you.
Copy !req
35. - You okay?
- Sure. Why?
Copy !req
36. Oh, I don't know.
Girl of your dreams, dating a billionaire.
Copy !req
37. Okay, first of all, hundred millionaire.
Copy !req
38. And second,
she's not the girl of my dreams.
Copy !req
39. We're just friends.
Copy !req
40. Look, it would not be smart
if we got together.
Copy !req
41. I mean, I'm looking to settle down,
she's looking for...
Copy !req
42. What, you done? Great.
Copy !req
43. Check out table number four.
Copy !req
44. See that little hottie on the end?
She's short, but has an ample bosom.
Copy !req
45. I love it. She's like half boob. Let's go.
Copy !req
46. Yeah, and say what?
What's our big opening line?
Copy !req
47. Oh, it's, "Daddy's home."
Copy !req
48. - Daddy's home?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
49. Okay, you want us
to go over there, right now,
Copy !req
50. and say to those girls, Daddy's home?
Copy !req
51. Really think about that, Barney.
Copy !req
52. Yeah, I think it's pretty solid.
Copy !req
53. Okay, think about this.
Copy !req
54. Is there even a single item on the menu
that has garlic in it?
Copy !req
55. There's garlic fries.
Copy !req
56. Okay, well, I'll get back to you.
Copy !req
57. Oh! Daddy's back.
Copy !req
58. See, if you'd taken
a moment to think about that...
Copy !req
59. Then Daddy wouldn't have gotten this
seven-digit Father's Day card from Amy.
Copy !req
60. That worked? I hate the world.
Copy !req
61. Ted, your problem is
all you do is think, think, think.
Copy !req
62. I'm teaching you how to do, do, do.
Copy !req
63. - Doo-doo.
- Totally.
Copy !req
64. So I think a lot.
I happen to have a very powerful brain.
Copy !req
65. - It can't be helped.
- Oh, yes, it can.
Copy !req
66. Interesting!
Copy !req
67. Ted, I believe you and I met for a reason.
Copy !req
68. It's like the universe was saying,
"Hey, Barney, there's this dude,
Copy !req
69. "he's pretty cool,
but it's your job to make him awesome."
Copy !req
70. Your brain screws you up, Ted.
It gets in the way.
Copy !req
71. It happened with Robin.
It happened with half boob.
Copy !req
72. And it's gonna keep on happening,
Copy !req
73. until you power down that bucket
of neuroses, inebriation style.
Copy !req
74. So what? You want me to do a shot?
Copy !req
75. Oh, no. I want you to do five shots.
Copy !req
76. - Oh, more interesting.
- Whoa.
Copy !req
77. - Barney, I think you've officially...
- No, don't think. Do!
Copy !req
78. Ted, he's right. You over think.
Maybe you should over drink.
Copy !req
79. - Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink.
- Drink. Drink. Drink.
Copy !req
80. Lily, will you tell these guys
how stupid they're being?
Copy !req
81. Guys, you are being immature,
and moronic, and drink, drink.
Copy !req
82. - Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink.
- Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink.
Copy !req
83. - Yeah!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
84. - Drink, drink, drink...
- Drink, drink, drink...
Copy !req
85. Let me tell you
something about this brain, okay?
Copy !req
86. - ... drink, drink!
- ... drink, drink!
Copy !req
87. Yeah!
Copy !req
88. Mere alcohol cannot stop this brain.
Copy !req
89. - Drink, drink, drink...
- Drink, drink, drink...
Copy !req
90. I love it. I love it. I love it!
Copy !req
91. This brain, dear mortals,
is no ordinary brain.
Copy !req
92. - ... drink, drink, drink...
- ... drink, drink, drink...
Copy !req
93. This is a super brain.
Copy !req
94. - ... drink, drink. Drink!
- ... drink, drink. Drink!
Copy !req
95. This brain is unstoppable! This brain...
Copy !req
96. And that's all I remember,
except for a few hazy memories.
Copy !req
97. And, really, the next thing I remember
is waking up the following morning.
Copy !req
98. So, there were some
unanswered questions.
Copy !req
99. How much did I drink?
Copy !req
100. How did I sprain my ankle?
Copy !req
101. And who was this girl in my bed?
Copy !req
102. There's a rock star.
Copy !req
103. Okay. What the hell happened last night?
Copy !req
104. You really don't remember, super brain?
Copy !req
105. So, Uncle Marshall
and Aunt Lily filled me in.
Copy !req
106. - And how'd you guys like the shots?
- I drank all five, bitch!
Copy !req
107. - I love drunk Ted.
- Marshall thinks you're a vampire.
Copy !req
108. If he pukes, one of you guys cleans it up.
Copy !req
109. No dibs!
Copy !req
110. No... Oh, damn it!
Copy !req
111. How quickly you all forget!
I haven't puked since high school.
Copy !req
112. I am vomit-free since '93.
Copy !req
113. Vomit-free since '93. That's funny.
I'm funny!
Copy !req
114. - Who are you calling?
- Robin.
Copy !req
115. Bad idea jeans.
Copy !req
116. No, no, it's a great idea.
That's the whole point of getting drunk.
Copy !req
117. You do things you'd never do
in a million years if you were sober.
Copy !req
118. Says every girl you've ever slept with.
Copy !req
119. Say what?
Copy !req
120. Hello, Robin, it's Ted.
Copy !req
121. - Hi, Ted.
- Hello, Robin, it's Ted.
Copy !req
122. Hi, Ted. Sounds like you're having fun.
Copy !req
123. Robin, have I ever told you
that I am vomit-free since '93?
Copy !req
124. Oh, listen, Ted,
I can't really talk right...
Copy !req
125. Ninety-three? Dude, that's impressive.
Copy !req
126. Robin, you know, I don't say this enough,
but you're a great woman!
Copy !req
127. And a great reporter.
You should be on 60 Minutes.
Copy !req
128. You should be one of the minutes!
Copy !req
129. Well, that's sweet and odd,
but I'm kind of on a date right now.
Copy !req
130. Yeah, and I disagree with Barney.
Copy !req
131. Just 'cause this guy is spending
a lot of money
Copy !req
132. doesn't mean you have to put out.
Copy !req
133. Take it slow, Robin. Take it slow.
Copy !req
134. - Slow.
- Bye, Ted.
Copy !req
135. Slow.
Copy !req
136. Wow, right. That's why we don't do shots.
Copy !req
137. Friends don't let friends drink and dial.
Copy !req
138. - I need that phone back!
- You'll get this back at the end of class.
Copy !req
139. Ding! Class dismissed. Here you go, kid,
you call whoever you want.
Copy !req
140. Thank you, kind sir!
Copy !req
141. At least someone appreciates the fact
that I am doing and not thinking.
Copy !req
142. And now, I don't think
I won't not go to the bathroom.
Copy !req
143. Was that necessary?
He is not making smart decisions.
Copy !req
144. Exactly!
It's like, what's he gonna do next?
Copy !req
145. I don't know, but I want to find out!
Copy !req
146. Cheap Trick. Oh, Ted.
Copy !req
147. Hello again, Ted.
Copy !req
148. I love everyone in this bar!
Copy !req
149. And we love you, drunk Ted!
Copy !req
150. Ted?
Copy !req
151. Well, that explains the ankle.
Copy !req
152. And then we brought you home
and put you to bed.
Copy !req
153. Was there anyone else in there with me?
Copy !req
154. There's a girl in there.
I know.
Copy !req
155. - And a pineapple.
- I know!
Copy !req
156. - Who is she?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
157. - What the hell happened to my jacket?
- Whoa.
Copy !req
158. That girl in there is alive, right?
Copy !req
159. I should call Barney.
Maybe he knows what happened.
Copy !req
160. Hello.
Copy !req
161. Why are you sleeping in our tub?
Copy !req
162. The porcelain keeps the suit
from wrinkling.
Copy !req
163. Wait, were you here
when I went to the bathroom
Copy !req
164. - in the middle of the night?
- Don't worry, I slept through it.
Copy !req
165. I totally didn't sleep through it!
Copy !req
166. Oh, and, wow,
for a little girl you got a big tank.
Copy !req
167. How did you get in here, anyway?
We put Ted to bed around 1:00.
Copy !req
168. Oh, you put Ted to bed all right.
Copy !req
169. You guys take care of me.
You guys are the best.
Copy !req
170. I love you guys so much.
Copy !req
171. - Good night, Ted.
- Love you, too, buddy.
Copy !req
172. I'm back, baby doll!
Copy !req
173. Hey! He rallies!
Copy !req
174. And the night begins now. All right.
Game face on.
Copy !req
175. Carl, two more. All right, all right.
What do we think of this one?
Copy !req
176. - I think she...
- Trick question. No thinking!
Copy !req
177. You know what time it is? It's do o'clock.
Copy !req
178. - Let's ride.
- Bring it!
Copy !req
179. Hi.
Copy !req
180. Have you met Ted? He...
Copy !req
181. Excuse me.
Copy !req
182. - You're calling Robin.
- I'm calling Robin.
Copy !req
183. Ted, as your mentor and spiritual guide,
I forbid you from calling her.
Copy !req
184. Oh, yeah? What you gonna do?
Copy !req
185. If you complete that call,
I will set your coat on fire.
Copy !req
186. You're bluffing.
Copy !req
187. Hello, Robin, it's Ted.
Copy !req
188. Ted, for the last time, stop...
Copy !req
189. Ted?
Copy !req
190. You set me on fire.
Copy !req
191. Real suede wouldn't have gone up so fast.
You got robbed. This is a blend.
Copy !req
192. You set me on fire!
Copy !req
193. And who's the girl in my bed?
Copy !req
194. There's a girl in your bed.
Copy !req
195. And a pineapple! Am I the only one
who's curious about the pineapple?
Copy !req
196. - Who is she?
- I have no idea.
Copy !req
197. Nice.
Copy !req
198. You really don't know who that is?
Copy !req
199. No. After I hosed you down
with the beverage gun,
Copy !req
200. I brought you back here.
Copy !req
201. I better not have gotten burned.
Copy !req
202. Did any of you write that?
Copy !req
203. "Hi, I'm Ted. If lost please call..."
Copy !req
204. - Whose number is that?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
205. Dude, call it.
Copy !req
206. Oh, hold on.
I'm gonna make some popcorn.
Copy !req
207. Okay, you can call now.
God, this is intense. I love it.
Copy !req
208. Hello.
- Hi. Who is this?
Copy !req
209. - You called me. Who's this?
- It's Ted.
Copy !req
210. It's Carl from the bar.
Copy !req
211. And then Carl filled us in.
Copy !req
212. Barney, you've always taken care of me.
You are a gentleman and a scholar!
Copy !req
213. Go into my stable
and take my finest stallion.
Copy !req
214. He's yours. His name is Windjammer.
Copy !req
215. Sleep it off, bro.
Copy !req
216. I'm back, baby doll!
Copy !req
217. And I am gonna throw up.
Copy !req
218. I threw up? My streak is over.
Copy !req
219. Vomit-free since '05 doesn't sound good.
Copy !req
220. Sorry, Carl, go on.
Copy !req
221. Carl?
Copy !req
222. Did you know the word "karaoke"
is Japanese for empty orchestra?
Copy !req
223. Isn't that hauntingly beautiful?
Copy !req
224. Are you a vampire?
Copy !req
225. All right. I'm cutting you off.
Go home and get some sleep, Ted.
Copy !req
226. Yeah, sun's gonna come up soon.
Copy !req
227. Wouldn't want to be around for that,
would we?
Copy !req
228. Hey, how easy you think it would be
to sneak into the zoo?
Copy !req
229. I have to see some penguins,
like, right now.
Copy !req
230. - All right, give me your arm.
- Okay.
Copy !req
231. This way, if you pass out in the gutter...
Copy !req
232. It tickles!
Copy !req
233. someone will call me,
and I will come get you.
Copy !req
234. Thanks, Carl.
Copy !req
235. We can't just be friends!
We're attracted to each other.
Copy !req
236. - We both know it.
- Excuse me?
Copy !req
237. Me and Robin. Me and Robin.
I have to make one more call.
Copy !req
238. Yeah, this'll go good.
Copy !req
239. Hey, it's me again.
Copy !req
240. Look. Who are we kidding? You and I
are both attracted to each other.
Copy !req
241. We're young. We're drunk.
Half of us, anyway.
Copy !req
242. And we only get one life.
Copy !req
243. So, why don't you come over
to my apartment right now,
Copy !req
244. and we'll think of something stupid
to do together.
Copy !req
245. Really? Great.
Copy !req
246. Wait, really? Great.
Copy !req
247. Thanks, Carl.
Copy !req
248. It's Robin. That's Robin in there.
Copy !req
249. Did you guys...
Copy !req
250. Oh, come on.
You've gotta give me this one.
Copy !req
251. Those five shots got you farther
with Robin than your brain ever did.
Copy !req
252. See what happens when you don't think?
You do!
Copy !req
253. More importantly, you do Robin. Come on!
Copy !req
254. All right, right over here.
Copy !req
255. But, still, what does this mean?
Are we dating now?
Copy !req
256. I mean,
I never pictured it going down this way,
Copy !req
257. but maybe that's how it had to happen.
I mean, think about it.
Copy !req
258. Someone get him a shot.
He's thinking again.
Copy !req
259. Well, hold on, man. Maybe it's not
such a bad idea to think about this one.
Copy !req
260. You and Robin went down this road
before. You got dinged up, really bad.
Copy !req
261. You know who might have something
to say about Ted's future with Robin?
Copy !req
262. Robin. Go wake her up.
Copy !req
263. - Wake her up and say what?
- Daddy's home.
Copy !req
264. Good luck, buddy.
Copy !req
265. - Hello?
- Ted, it's Robin.
Copy !req
266. Are you sure?
Copy !req
267. Hey, Robin. How are you?
Copy !req
268. Ted, I think you and I
should have a talk...
Copy !req
269. - Is that Robin?
- So, who's the girl in the bedroom?
Copy !req
270. - ... about those phone calls last night.
- I have no idea!
Copy !req
271. - Do you mind if I swing by?
- Ask her about the pineapple!
Copy !req
272. - Yeah, sure. Come on over.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
273. No! Wait! Don't come.
Copy !req
274. She's coming over. Crap!
Copy !req
275. Wait, this is killing me.
We have to find out who that girl is.
Copy !req
276. Trudy. My name is Trudy.
Copy !req
277. And then Trudy filled us in.
Copy !req
278. I'm just surprised
you didn't dump him sooner.
Copy !req
279. I know. It's two years of my life
I'm never getting back.
Copy !req
280. A little part of me wants to
just jump the bones of the next guy I see.
Copy !req
281. Daddy's home.
Copy !req
282. Or the one after that.
Copy !req
283. Okay, fair enough.
But I've got to prove a point to a friend.
Copy !req
284. So, you just gave me your number,
and your name is Amy.
Copy !req
285. Ladies.
Copy !req
286. I love everyone in this bar!
Copy !req
287. Look at that idiot go.
Copy !req
288. He's kind of cute.
Copy !req
289. What are you doing in the men's room?
Copy !req
290. What am I doing in the ladies' room?
Copy !req
291. Oh, right, I came in here
'cause I thought I was gonna throw up.
Copy !req
292. Did you?
Copy !req
293. I did not.
Copy !req
294. And the streak continues.
Vomit-free since '93.
Copy !req
295. Sorry, Trudy. Go on.
Copy !req
296. I liked your performance.
Copy !req
297. What, the karaoke?
Copy !req
298. I wish I had your guts.
Copy !req
299. Getting up
and making a complete idiot of myself.
Copy !req
300. - So do it.
- I don't know.
Copy !req
301. Still, I've had a pretty serious week.
Copy !req
302. I could sure stand to do something stupid.
Copy !req
303. I'm something stupid. Do me.
Copy !req
304. You're funny.
Copy !req
305. - Hey, can I call you sometime?
- Okay.
Copy !req
306. Here, let me.
Copy !req
307. Why do they call it "karaoke," anyhow?
Copy !req
308. Was it invented by a woman
named Carrie Okie?
Copy !req
309. These are the kinds of things
I think about.
Copy !req
310. "Karaoke" is Japanese
for empty orchestra.
Copy !req
311. Wow. That's hauntingly beautiful.
Copy !req
312. Hey, it works.
Copy !req
313. Then I guess you're gonna have to call me.
Copy !req
314. I gotta make one more call.
Copy !req
315. Hello?
Copy !req
316. Hey, it's me again.
Copy !req
317. Hey.
Copy !req
318. Look. Who are we kidding? You and I
are both attracted to each other.
Copy !req
319. We're young. We're drunk.
Half of us, anyway.
Copy !req
320. And we only get one life.
Copy !req
321. So I came over here.
Copy !req
322. And now I'm really, really embarrassed.
Copy !req
323. Damn it, Trudy!
What about the pineapple?
Copy !req
324. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Copy !req
325. Robin's here. Look,
Trudy, I need you to hide in my bedroom.
Copy !req
326. Why? Is that your girlfriend?
Copy !req
327. No. That's not my girlfriend.
Look, it's complicated.
Copy !req
328. You're married.
Yeah, I can't believe I did this.
Copy !req
329. No, no, no. I'm not married.
I'll explain after you hide.
Copy !req
330. - Hello.
- Hi.
Copy !req
331. - Hey, Robin. Top of the morning.
Hey, guys.
Copy !req
332. Hey, Robin. Good sweater.
Copy !req
333. Sorry I kept calling you like that.
I was pretty drunk.
Copy !req
334. Yeah, no kidding.
Those calls were really weird.
Copy !req
335. Look, Ted, maybe we need to talk.
Copy !req
336. - Let's go get a snack.
- I love to snack.
Copy !req
337. I'm good.
Copy !req
338. Come on. Those calls weren't that weird.
Copy !req
339. Robin! Come hang out!
Copy !req
340. Okay, I'm gonna make this sound
till you come hang out.
Copy !req
341. That goes on for three and a half minutes.
Copy !req
342. Without a breath?
That's gotta be some kind of record.
Copy !req
343. Ted, you can't do this. Please.
Copy !req
344. We agreed to be friends,
and now you're making it all confusing.
Copy !req
345. No, I'm not. Look,
I just turned off my brain for the night.
Copy !req
346. Nothing's changed. You've moved on.
I've moved on.
Copy !req
347. Really? You've moved on?
Copy !req
348. Yes. What, you don't believe me?
Copy !req
349. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
350. Trudy! Come on out.
Copy !req
351. You are gonna laugh.
Copy !req
352. - Wait, you were with someone last night?
- Yeah, Trudy. She's cool.
Copy !req
353. Trudy, come on out.
Copy !req
354. Yeah, seriously, it's okay.
Copy !req
355. This is so Trudy.
She's really shy. I think.
Copy !req
356. Trudy?
Copy !req
357. Hi, Trudy. I'm Robin.
It's nice to meet you.
Copy !req
358. You're right, she's shy.
Copy !req
359. I'm not making this up.
She must've climbed out the fire escape.
Copy !req
360. Whatever. Whatever.
I don't care what you think.
Copy !req
361. Then why did you hide her from me?
Copy !req
362. Wow, you're good.
Copy !req
363. Anyone ever tell you
you should be on 60 Minutes?
Copy !req
364. - Yes, you did. Last night.
- Really?
Copy !req
365. Well.
Copy !req
366. Get some sleep, Ted. You had a long night.
Copy !req
367. And don't feel bad.
I've woken up with worse.
Copy !req
368. I left Trudy a message.
But she never called me back.
Copy !req
369. That's just how life works sometimes.
Copy !req
370. You turn off your brain for a night,
Copy !req
371. and all you're left with the next day
is a bad hangover, a sprained ankle
Copy !req
372. and a pineapple.
Copy !req
373. Oh, and we never found out
where that pineapple came from.
Copy !req
374. But it was delicious.
