We cut to Barney's office. He is sitting at his desk opposite four Asian men. One of the men is wearing a brown military uniform and a fancy military hat. Barney's phone rings. Barney assumes Lily is calling because Robin told her what's under Barney's hood (he has a clitoris?) and that she wants to take it for a spin. "Not even if you boiled it in detergent!" she says. Lily says it's about Ted. Barney calls him a former friend whom he never wanted to hear about again. Lily says he's been in a car accident and that he's at St. Anthony's hospital. Barney hangs up the phone. Lily pretends that the conversation is still happening and that Barney is very concerned, but has an important thing going on. "Suit up!" she pretends to tell Barney. "He hung up, didn't he?" Ted asks. He reiterates that they're not friends anymore. Cut to Barney telling his business associates in a foreign language, "My friend needs me!" (We see it in subtitles.) Barney exits the office. The man in the uniform asks, in English, "What did he say?" Out on the street, Barney is trying to hail a cab. Someone with a bunch of balloons steals his cab. So he runs instead. "I'm comin', Ted!" Barney says.
