Quote from Barney in Old King Clancy
Ted: Guys, what the hell? Marshall: Okay, it's time that you know the truth. A few weeks ago, Bilson called us into his office. [flashback to Barney and Marshall in Bilson's office:] Bilson: We're scrapping the plan for the new GNB headquarters. This recession is killing us. We're cutting anything non-essential. Boy, I have a lot of tough choices to make ta the bi-quarterly retreat in Saint Croix. Marshall: Man, Ted is gonna be devastated. Bilson: Not when he hears it coming from his best friend. Barney: I have to tell him? Marshall: I have to tell him?
