Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, October of 2012 kicked off The Autumn of Breakups. And Barney, having broken his engagement with Quinn was slowly trying to pick himself back up.
Barney: Welcome to Bangtoberfest! Have a Bangtoberfest T-shirt. I'm back! Have a Bangtoberfest T-shirt. I'm single again. [woman screams] Sorry about your eye. I'm available.
Ted: “Bangtoberfest. This time it's really not personal.”
Robin: Barney, you just went through some really big emotional stuff. You need to give yourself some time to heal.
Barney: Robin, I spent seven grand on merch. This is happening.
