someone to do some good this is Walter

Walter is homeless and Walter would like

a lap dance

sublime art of burlesque entertainment

like me to buy you a ticket to the

buffet

dinners you know where he hasn't been to

heaven with Samantha

day to help someone in need now buy this

joy in someone's eyes

story of How I Met Your Mother

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous & Negative Question Tag

  ➔ 'Walter's been' is a contraction of 'Walter has been' and uses the present perfect continuous to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance. 'you know where he hasn't been to' is a rhetorical question, implying he's been everywhere *except* one place.
