“That’s the whole point of getting drunk. You do things you’d never do in a million years if you were sober.”
“Says every girl you’ve ever slept with!”
After doing five shots, Ted can’t remember what happened the night before, and the gang has to fill him in.
Ted- Future Ted says out of all the nights he has memories of, this night is the one he can’t remember. It starts with Carl the bartender bringing them The Red Dragon, shots he concocted. Robin leaves early to get read for her date with a billionaire hundred millionaire. Barney, meanwhile, gets the phone number of a girl by using the line “Daddy’s home.” When he comes back, he tells Ted that he over thinks things and needs to “do” more. And then they get Ted to do all five shots in quick succession. After that, his only memories of a pineapple, and “I am Ted. Please call [random numbers].”
When he wakes up the next morning there is a pineapple beside his bed and he has some unannounced questions like, “How much did I drink?” “How did I sprain my ankle?” “Who’s this girl in my bed?” Marshall proceeds to tell him what happened. First, he drunk-dialed Robin. Then he drunk-dials her again and sings Cheap Trick’s “Voices” to her and proceeds to fall of a chair. “Then,” Lily and Marshall say, “we brought you home and put you to bed.” “Was there anyone else in there with me?”
Sure enough, there’s girl in Ted’s room to the amazement of Lily and Marshall, and then they discover Ted’s jacket is burned. They call Barney to see if he knows what happened and discover him in the bathtub. So he picks up the story. After Lily and Marshall put Ted to bed, he showed back up at the bar. Ted tries to call Robin and Barney sets him on fire. “You set me on FIRE. And who’s the girl in my bed?” So Barney runs to see. When checking to see if he got burned, they discover writing on Ted’s arm that says, “Hi, I’m Ted. If lost please call [mysterious number]” and no one knows whose number it is. So they call the number and it’s Carl, who continues the story.
Ted showed back-up at the bar, goes to throw-up, and goes to leave. Carl writes his number on Ted’s arm in case he passes out in the gutter, and Ted proceeds to call Robin one more time. “Yeah, this’ll go good.” And apparently she agreed to come over “And we’ll think of something stupid to do together.” So apparently, they…you know… So Ted goes to talk to her and that’s when Robin calls him. From a cab. And after Ted tells her to come over, Trudy, the girl in the bed, comes out, and continues to story. Trudy was at McClaren’s with her girlfriends after she got dumped. Barney came up, hit on her friend, didn’t get anyone’s number but made one up. They watched Ted fall off the chair and when Ted went to throw-up (but didn’t, “Vomit-free since ‘93!”) they met in the ladies room, and she gave him her number. So when he thought he called Robin, he in fact called Trudy.
At which point Robin shows up at the apartment and Ted makes Trudy hide in the bedroom. He apologizes for calling her and Robin tells him he’s making things confusing. In an effort to prove he’s over her, Ted tries to show her Trudy, who has gone out the window. Which Robin doesn’t believe. Ted never talks to Trudy again, and they never find out where the pineapple came from.
The Mother- Okay, I’ve never been drunk. I don’t drink, and at the most I can say is I’ve been really hyped up on sugar before and done stupid things. But I have seen my sister drunk, and we both agree when you’re drunk you lose your filter, so the things you say and do you mean. Which means while Ted isn’t totally over Robin, he is a step closer because let’s face it, he slept with someone else.
