Quote from Ted in The Fight
Marshall: I don't know. Future Ted: [v.o.] Actually, he did know that the worst we were looking at was a small civil settlement, and probably no criminal charges. But he was really pissed at us. Marshall: I mean, you guys could be looking at some serious prison time. Barney: Prison?! Ted: I can't go to prison! I mean, I could get a lot of reading done, finally write some short stories. Work out all the time. Seriously, if I don't come out of there completely ripped... Barney: Ted, we can't go to prison! People get shivved in the joint! Plus the meals are really starchy.
