Quote from Marshall in Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap
Future Ted: [v.o.] In November 2009, Uncle Marshall and Aunt Lily hosted the first Thanksgiving at their very own apartment. And Marshall had found the perfect turkey. [Marshall gets out of a cab while talking on his cell phone] Marshall: Oh, baby, it is beautiful. It's 22 pounds. It's organic. Remember my bald Uncle Heinrek? It looks exactly like his head. [The cab drives away] Marshall: Oh, my God. My turkey! My turkey! Future Ted: [v.o.] So, when we showed up for the big day, Marshall was pretty bummed out. Robin: Well, we got the turkey. Marshall: No, you didn't. You got the pathetic replacement turkey. Damn it, you know, why didn't I listen to the prerecorded voice of former mayor Ed Koch reminding me to take my belongings?
