Barney: MacLaren's Pub.
Ranjit: MacLaren's Pub.
[At MacLaren's, Barney greets a gold-medalist Japanese figure skater:]
Barney: Well, hello.
Natalia: I realize that you're very busy, so I'll just get straight to the point.
Barney: Okay.
[The woman raises her leg behind her head and uses her toe to open her beer bottle]
Woman: And that's my bad leg. Very bad. [Barney's cell phone rings] Are you okay?
Barney: Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I be? [tries to resist answering the phone, fails] Go for Barney.
Future Ted: [v.o.] Barney had been sure that phone was something he loved. But now he realized it wasn't that at all. It was something else entirely.
[Barney imagines he's holding a rabbit instead of his phone. He does a double take and sees his cell phone again. Barney runs out of MacLaren's and dumps his phone in the dumpster out back.]
Barney: [groaning] I'm free!
[Natalia joins Barney in his bedroom:]
Barney: Ah, now this feels right. There is no place I would rather be, and no one I would rather be... [cell phone rings in the distance]
Natalia: What's wrong?
Barney: Did you hear that?
Natalia: Hear what?
Barney: Ssh. [cell phone continues ringing]
