Lily: Oh, hey, baby, how'd the interview go?
Marshall: Um, interesting. There I am in the office of Jefferson Coatsworth and I figure I'm not gonna take this job anyway, I might as well give this old bastard a piece of mind. Jefferson Coatsworth wasn't what I expected.
[flashback to Marshall in an office with a young, Asian-American man wearing a t-shirt and jeans:]
Jefferson: Marshall, Jefferson Coatsworth.
Marshall: Hello.
Jefferson: Dude, I am so, so psyched that you're here. Can I beer ya?
Future Ted: [v.o.] Marshall was thrown. This guy seemed nice. Of course, he wasn't.
[flash-forward to three years later as a suited Jefferson Coatsworth is being led out of his building in cuffs through a media scrum:]
Jefferson: Go to hell! I'd do it again! [to the cameras] I'm innocent. I'm innocent.
