Flash forward to MacLaren's. Ted accuses Barney of not delivering them. Barney says, "Theodore Evelyn Mosby!" Hee. "Of course I gave him his pants. I gave Lily my word. My word is oak." Oh, dear. I think he just turned into Beau Bridges in Jerry Maguire. Barney considers his drink and smiles. "Although... I did make some alterations." Flash back to GNB. Barney makes like Edward Scissorhands and Renfield's lovechild as he -- shall we say -- tailors Marshall's pants. Cut to Marshall's meeting. He's handing out a contract, but the guys all razz him asking him when he joined AC/DC, and suggesting that the Oliver Twist auditions are down the hall. Everyone laughs and the camera zooms out to give us a full shot of Marshall, and his now knee-length, jagged-edged pants. Barney adopts a British accent that makes him sound more like Ricky Gervais' David Brent, than poor Oliver: "Please sir. May I have some more... pants?"
