Robin: You okay?
Ted: This morning I was talking to the foreman.
[flashback to Ted talking to the building site's foreman:]
Rod: Hey, hotshot.
Ted: You know, Rod, I'm loving that nickname, and I can tell it's totally affectionate, but I'd prefer Ted.
Rod: Yeah, but you're such a hotshot, I figured I'd just call you hotshot. Pick one. And make sure you like it. There's going to be 50,000 of these in your big, hotshot building, hotshot.
[present:]
Ted: 50,000 lightbulbs! What if this one's too bright? What if this one flickers and gives everyone a weird headache? Do you know how many people it takes to change 50,000 lightbulbs?
Barney: Are these people Irish, Polish, blondes? What are we dealing with here?
