Ted: [v.o.] So Barney did it. He actually finished the marathon. But a little while later... I got an interesting phone call.
Ted: [answers phone] Hello?
Barney: Ted, it's Barney. Listen to me, I need you to come and pick me up on the subway.
Ted: What, what are you talking about?
Barney: I was sitting here, totally minding my own business.
[flashback to two hours earlier as Barney sits on the subway and looks over to two girls:]
Barney: Finisher. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Conductor: [v.o.] 86th street.
[Barney tries to stand up but falls to the ground]
[present:]
Barney: My legs don't work. I've already ridden the subway twice end to end. I've seen where it turns around. Ted, you don't ever want to see where the subway turns around.
