Ted: So, you weren't mugged by a monkey?
Marshall: No, I wasn't.
Barney: So, what you're saying is, the monkey tricked you into giving him your wallet?
Marshall: No, that's not what I'm saying.
Ted: So, you mugged the monkey?
Marshall: Guys, there was no monkey! It was a human being with a gun.
Barney: Are you sure it wasn't one monkey standing on another monkey's shoulders wearing a men's trench coat?
Ted: Be about the right height.
Marshall: No! I... I just made that story up so that Lily wouldn't get a gun. The truth is that it never happened.
