Quote from Marshall in Right Place Right Time
Future Ted: [v.o.] And so, on my way to get a bagel, I stopped at a newsstand for a full minute to check out a picture of Barney's 200th. Ted: Barney. Future Ted: [v.o.] If I hadn't done that, I would've walked right by the newsstand, cut down 77th and gotten to that corner a minute early. I would've gotten the bagel, done some work, and you kids might never have been born. Now, why did I cut down 77th, and give a dollar to the homeless guy? Here's why. Back when Marshall first started working at Goliath National Bank... [flashback to Marshall at work:] Marshall: Fran, I don't mean to bother you but I have a big presentation tomorrow and it would really help if I could get like some charts and graphs made up. Could you help me with that? Fran: Honey, this is the graphics department. We can make as many graphs, as many charts in as many colors on as many kinds of paper as you want. Marshall: Oh, Fran. Oh, Franny, Franny, Franny. We are gonna have some fun.
