Lily: What happened to your leg?
Barney: Oh, nothing. I'm meeting Nora for coffee. She's still mad at me, so I need some sympathy points. She likes musicals, so I'm going to tell her I fell off the stage during a performance of Man of La Mancha. What do you think?
Ted: Lose the cast.
Barney: A one-man show, I like it!
Lily: Just so we're clear, this woman is mad at you because you lied to her. So your solution is to pretend you broke your leg?
Barney: You're right. A neck brace. Thanks, Lil. Man, I wish I'd have talked to you sooner. I've been practicing with these crutches all day and whoever left them in my lobby probably really needs 'em.
