Your report is the crap that crap craps!
Marshall comes home from work and is completely freak out. He tells everybody about his boss “Artillery” Arthur Hobbs. The guy yells at people. Marshall is scarred by the experience, and then the day before Marshall missed turning in a report. Then that morning Arthur came in and screamed at him. Barney says it just a part of the business world. Robin says Arthur probably respects Marshall more for just taking it. And then Marshall explains that Arthur is screaming at him and he’s humiliated and all of the sudden he felt everything, all the anger and responsibility. And then he burst into tears. Marshall explains that he doesn’t know how he’s going to hand in the report to Arthur the next day. Robin tells him she would go into Arthur’s office with a gun and vaguely threaten him with it. Ted says he would give Arthur a big speech about human dignity. Barney tells about how this guy was getting reamed out at a meeting in their office and the guy ended up telling off the boss and quitting (the story ends badly with the guy’s death). Barney explains that in corporate America there is a chain of screaming:
Arthur’s boss’s boss screams at Arthur’s boss.
Arthur’s boss screams at Arthur.
Arthur screams at Marshall.
Marshal screams at Lily.
Lily screams at one of her kindergarteners.
The Kindergartener screams at Arthur’s boss’s boss.
They point out that it’s a chain not a circle and Barney ends up screaming at all of them.
Lily explains that she would give Arthur a little talking to about respecting someone to get their best work.
The next night Lily is asking Ted his opinion about carpet for the new apartment when Marshall calls him and asks him to come downstairs without Lily. When Ted comes down Marshall has a box of his stuff. They get in Ted’s car and Marshall explains that he was going to give the speech to Arthur. Barney shows up at the diner and tells Marshall to scream at the waiter because the waiter will bring him the wrong food (because Barney ordered it wrong). Marshall tries to tell the guy off a little and the guy ends up yelling at him. They’re walking home and Barney tells Marshall to yell at him. Marshall tries and after some prompting from Barney, Marshall ends up screaming at Barney about how he doesn’t want to become Barney. And the next day Marshall ends up screaming at Arthur and quitting. Marshall has to tell Lily and tells her he’s going to beg for his job back. She tells him that their future is not money or the apartment, if he’s happy they’ll figure it out. Ted sells his new car and loans them the money.
The Mother- Nothing about The Mother this week, but some interesting plot twists for Marshall and Lily!
