Quote from Future Ted in Pilot
Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, I'm going to tell you an incredible story. The story of how I met your mother Son: Are we being punished for something? Future Ted: [v.o.] No. Daughter: Yeah, is this going to take a while? Future Ted: [v.o.] Yes. Twenty-five years ago, before I was dad, I had this whole other life.
