‘Blitzgiving’

Season 6, Episode 10 -  Aired November 22, 2010

When Ted leaves the bar early to prepare Thanksgiving dinner, he inherits the curse of "The Blitz" from Steve, an old friend from college who made a habit of leaving just before amazing things happen.

Quote from Future Ted

Future Ted: [v.o.] And over the years, "The Curse of The Blitz" continued.
[flashback to The Blitz joining the gang at MacLaren's:]
The Blitz: Well, I'm gonna call it. I just got Madden 2K1, and I can't stop thinking about it.
All: See you later!
Carl: Tap's broke! Can't turn 'em off! Free beer for everyone!
[later, the gang tell The Blitz about their evening:]
Ted: Free beer for everyone!
Marshall: Free beer for everyone!
The Blitz: Aw, man!

Quote from Future Ted

Marshall: You know what? Ted, go ahead, leave early to do something lame. Just don't blame us if you become... The Blitz.
Ted: All right, first of all, there's nothing lame about brining a Turturkeykey, copyright pending. And secondly, I don't believe "The Curse of The Blitz" is real.
Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, I'd live to regret those words. You see, the "Curse of Blitz" could be passed from one person to the next, at any moment. Blitz had gotten the curse from Jerry Windheim, back in freshman year, who got it years before that from Davey Beaterman. The original Blitz, Matt Blitz, was a guy who went to Wesleyan back in the '60s. He dropped out right before the school went co-ed.

Quote from Ted

Future Ted: [v.o.] And then, Thanksgiving morning...
[When Ted walks out of his bedroom, there's a hot dog cart in the apartment. Barney is sleeping on the couch next to traffic cones.]
Ted: What the hell happened here?
Robin: [with face paint on] Hey! Morning, Blitz!
Ted: Aw, man! No, no! Let's get one thing straight, okay? I am not The Blitz.
Barney: [singing] My Blitzy lies over the ocean
Barney & Marshall: [singing] My Blitzy lies over the sea My Blitzy lies over the ocean So bring back my Blitzy...
Ted: Please stop. Okay, fine.
Barney & Marshall: To me.

Quote from Ted

Lily: The Gentleman!
All: The Gentleman!
Ted: Wait! Wait! Wait! What's that? What's "The Gentleman"?
Lily: Oh, you had to be there, Blitz.
Ted: I'm not The Blitz!
[After Ted goes into the bathroom, he hears a woman yawn. He pulls back the shower curtain:]
Ted: Zoey?
Zoey: Morning, Blitz!

Quote from Ted

Ted: How could you, my best friends in the world, hang out with my mortal enemy, then let her sleep in the tub where I clean myself?!
Lily: Sorry, Ted. We can explain. After you Blitzed out last night...
Ted: I'm not The Blitz!

Quote from Lily

[flashback to Lily, Marshall, Barney and Robin at MacLaren's after Ted left:]
Lily: Well, I got it. You see that silk scarf? I'm going to steal it.
Zoey: Can I help you?
Lily: Yeah. Yeah! My name is Lily Aldrin. I'm a friend of Ted Mosby's, so you better...
Zoey: You're Lily Aldrin? The painter?!
Lily: Well, yeah.
Zoey: You're amazing! I bought a bunch of your paintings online.
Lily: That was you?!
Zoey: Yeah.
Lily: Oh! Thanks!

Quote from Marshall

Ted: I'm not The Blitz!
Marshall: I'm afraid you are, Ted. You see, when you left last night, you changed the course of Blitztory.

Quote from Ted

The Blitz: I'm finally free! I mean, you have no idea what I've missed all these years: The university president's toupee being snatched by a hawk at graduation, Zeppelin reuniting at my cousin Ira's bar mitzvah, countless nip-slips, crotch shots, shooting stars and double rainbows. I've missed them all!
Barney: Well, not anymore, Blitz.
The Blitz: My name's not Blitz. My name is Steve! Colors seem so bright now. [to Ted] Thank you, Blitz.
Ted: What? No! N- n-n-n-no! N-n-no! I'm not The Blitz!

Quote from Lily

Ted: Great. So not only did you guys betray me, but you broke my oven on Thanksgiving?
Barney: Full disclosure. We also used all your butter, greasing up Lily so we could see how far we could slide her down the hall.
Lily: But if it helps, I reached 4G.
Ted: It doesn't help. 4G?

Quote from Robin

Marshall: Hey, just so you guys know, there was a tiny explosion at the sewage treatment plant across the street from our apartment, but I'm sure it's fine by now.
[later, in Marshall and Lily's apartment everyone is holding their noses:]
The Blitz: This is awesome!
Ted: It's not awesome!
Robin: I think the smaller turkey just tried to crawl further inside the bigger turkey.
