Ted: Beer here! Thanks.
Marshall: Hey, how's Barney doing tonight?
Ted: Cool as a cucumber, just like he's been all week.
Marshall: Yeah? That's hard to believe.
Ted: Why?
Marshall: Apparently, this big merger fell through last week, and Barney's being blamed for it.
Lily: Well, that's weird. He hasn't said anything.
Marshall: Look, I work with the guy. I didn't find out until this afternoon, when I walked by his boss's office. I've never seen Barney look that scared. I think he's gonna get fired.
