How I Met Your Mother: "Le Téléphone Perdu"

Lingard

Marshall frantically searches for his phone while Ted reads on the couch. Lily and Robin suggest various locations such as the kitchen, bathroom, and coat pockets, humorously reminding Marshall of his past forgetfulness. After some amusing exchanges, Marshall eventually finds his phone in his coat pocket. They prepare to watch a movie, but Barney calls and persuades them to join him at a new bar afterward. Despite their reluctance, they agree, anticipating another adventure with Barney.
