Quote from Future Ted in The Fight
Doug: What the hell is this?! Future Ted: [v.o.] I've told you kids about Doug, right? I haven't? Oh, well... Doug Martin was a bartender at MacLaren's. He was always kind of around. [montage of previous moments at MacLaren's with Doug in the background:] Barney: Have... you met Ted? Ted: What? We're not playing "Have you met Ted?". [cut] Barney: [with a pencil up his nose] Am I dead? Am I dead? [cut] Barney: Tonight... I pick up a lesbian.
