Quote from Ted in The Ashtray
Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, you remember the Captain. He was one of the richest men in New York, and when I met him, he was married to Zoey, who I ended up... befriending. Ted: Oh, man, he seems pissed. Barney: Does he? Ted: Yes. Listen. The Captain: [on answering machine] Ted, this is the Captain. Please call me back at your earliest convenience. Barney: Oh, I hear it now. Marshall: What? I don't know. Ted: Listen again. The Captain: [on answering machine] Ted, this is the Captain. [sharpens blade] Please call me back at your earliest convenience. Marshall: He sounds pissed.
