Ted Quote #579
Quote from Ted in Old King Clancy
Future Ted: [v.o.] Bilson was killing every original idea I had Then, one day GNB took him off the project and created a new task force to oversee my designs and suddenly, everything changed.
Ted: We'll have a roof top in the end of the garden for quiet contemplation. We'll have a reflecting pool in the lobby where local children can come to make wishes. The New GNB, "A place of work that you can call home". Thank you, and welcome home.
Future Ted: Everything was going great, until one day, in the elevator...
Ted: [on cell phone] Yeah, it's Ted. No, no, no, no, no, no. I did not approve that change for the blueprints for the new GNB headquarters which I'm the head architect, at only 30 years old. Yes, I'm single and I give to charity. What is that has to do with anything? Alright, goodbye, Mr. Mayor. You know that was a fake phone call, don't you?
Woman: Yes, and I also know that the new GNB headquarters project was scrapped last month. Nice try.

Quote from Robin
Lily: I'm going to read it. Here we go. "The Frozen Snowshoe, Old King Clancy, Harvey's trays."
Robin: Right?
Lily: I don't know what any of those words mean.
Barney: Is one of those supposed to be a celebrity?
Marshall: Yeah, who the hell is Old King Clancy?
Robin: No, that's not the person, that's the sex act. It's the same as a Sacramento Turtleneck, except with maple syrup.
Marshall: So the celebrity was Harvey Strays?
Robin: No, that's what he collected. Harvey's trays. Yeah, those classic orange trays you get whenever you eat at Harvey's? The restaurant? Oh, come on, you're road tripping down the Trans-Canada Highway, you get a hunger on between Milverton and Wawa, where you gonna strap on a feed bag, huh? Harvey's. Over 12,000 served!
Lily: So the celebrity was...
Robin: The Frozen Snowshoe. Oh, my God! You guys have never heard of The Frozen Snowshoe? He's only the most famous professional wrestler in Canada. I met him after he defeated Reckless Rick Rogers in the Kamloops Memorial Arena back in '02. Classic match.
Lily: So you're saying The Frozen Snowshoe invited you back to his place to look at Harvey's trays, and asked you to do an Old King Clancy?
Robin: Exactly. And I'm serious, you cannot tell anyone.
