Narator: When I first moved to New York, it was dingy, disgusting, ugly, flea-ridden, stinky and altogether terrifying, but then, sadly. The whole city started to go uphill. The streets got a little cleaner, the rents got a little higher, and one by one, the crappy old places we loved began to disappear. The Elbow Room, an old punk rock club, became a drugstore. McHale's, a working-class watering hole, became a fast-food place. And Fez, a Moroccan-themed lounge at 85th and Broadway, became a bank. And not just any bank.

Barney: Goliath National Bank. The world leader in credit and banking. God, I love Goliath National Bank!
Ted: Okay, first of all, you look like the last pick in the draft. And, second, why are you so excited about some bank?
Barney: Our company just bought them out in a ruthless takeover. Took two months. Cost 2,000 jobs. It was brutal. Who wants a T-shirt? Hey, Marshall, they're hiring in the legal department. I could get you a job.
ruthless 冷酷な takeover 企業買収 brutal 残忍な
Lily: Barney, Marshall didn't quit his last soul-sucking corporate job just to go work at a bank. He's gonna be an environmental lawyer.
Narator: That was the plan, anyway. Over the next few weeks, Marshall went on a lot of interviews.
Marshall: You are confident, you are energetic, you are focused!
confident 自信に満ちた
Narator: A lot of interviews.
Marshall: You are flexible on salary, you're willing to compromise, you're not gonna cry this time.
compromise 妥協する
Narator: Too many interviews.
Marshall: You are sad, you are beaten down, you will get through this, come home, get in your big underpants and take a nap.
Narator: Which brings us to September 29, the night of the burger.
Ted: So, what do you guys want to do for dinner?
Wendy: Oh, we just got a new cook. You have to try the burger, it's amazing.
Robin: Great, we'll take five of those.
Wendy: Five burgers.
Ted: Really? You want to eat here?
Robin: Yeah, I'm freaking starving. I just finished a seven-day cleanse.
cleanse 駆除する
Marshall: I thought you started that yesterday.
Robin: I finished early, OK? (To Wendy) Five of those.
Wendy: Five burgers.
Ted: Wait. What about sushi?
Lily: We had sushi last night.
Barney: Italian.
Ted: I had Italian for lunch.
Wendy: I can come back.
Robin: No. We always do this. We spend an hour arguing about where to eat, and we end up here anyway. I haven't eaten for two days. Can we please, for the love of God, just order something now?
for the love of God 後生だから
Ted: Chinese?
Robin: Oh.
Barney: I don't like Chinese.
Ted: Indian?
Barney: I just said I don't like Chinese.
Ted: Indian isn't Chinese.
Barney: Weird meats, funny music, side of rice. Why are we splitting hairs?
Ted: Mexican?
Barney: I just said I don't like Chinese.
Robin: God.
Wendy: Robin, yours will be right out.
Robin: Of course, mine comes last. Go ahead, start without me.
Everybody: Sweet! You shouldn't have. That's so kind of you.
That's so kind of you なんてやさしいんだ。
Lily: My God. This burger is so good. It's like Christmas in my mouth, meat Christmas.
Ted: It's like an angel from heaven landed in the kitchen at MacLaren's. Where the chef killed it and ran it through the meat grinder.
grinder グラインダー
Barney: I love this burger so much, I want to sew my ass shut.
Marshall: It's okay.
Everybody: Are you kidding me?
Marshall: Guys, guys, guys. When you've had the best burger in NY, every other burger tastes like my grandpa's feet. But you guys eat up, enjoy my grandpa's feet.
Robin: And you've had the best burger in New York?
Marshall: It was eight years ago, my first week in New York, and for a kid from Minnesota, the big city was a scary place.
Marshall: Oh, thank God it's just you.
Ted: You are being ridiculous. Tell me, you left the apartment today?
Marshall: Why would I have to leave? I can have anything I want delivered, and New York City cable is awesome. Have you seen this public access show with the old Jewish lady in a bikini? It's disgusting.
Ted: Marshall, you have to get over this paranoia. You are not gonna get mugged.
get mugged 脅し取られる
Marshall: What if I do, Ted. I don't have a switchblade. I don't know how to break-dance and win the begrudging respect of a street gang.
begrudge ねたむ
Ted: That's it, you're taking a walk. Come on, go.
Marshall: No. Look, the old lady in a bikini is back on. I'm just gonna lie back and get comfortable.
back on 再開している
Ted: Go outside, go, go.
Marshall: Okay.
Ted: Leave the bat.
Marshall: Fine.
Marshal: So I went for a walk in the big, scary city. And I discovered something amazing it wasn't scary at all. All right. What's the word?
Man : Your search is over!
Marshall: And then, right when I started to get a little hungry, I turned a corner...
Marshall: And there it was. The tiniest little burger joint you ever saw, tucked between a taxidermist and a triple-X bookstore.
taxidermist 剥製師
Barney: Name two places where things get stuffed.
Marshall: So, I went inside.
Marshall: And I ordered the burger.
Marshal: Thank you.
Marshall: Ted, you got to wake up. Wake...
Ted: Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Marshall: I'm all right. Ted, I've just had the most amazing burger of my life! It's this awesome little place, Regis Philbin eats there, so it's sort of like a celebrity hot spot. But the burger. The burger. Dude.
Ted: I want one of those burgers right now! Do you think they're still open?
Marshall: I don't know. Does stuff in New York stay open past... 9:30?
Marshall: So we went out to get another burger. But after hours of searching...
Marshall: Damn it! Where is this place?
