1
00:00:02,470 --> 00:00:04,150
In the spring of 2009
2
00:00:04,217 --> 00:00:05,197
I've been hired to design
3
00:00:05,198 --> 00:00:07,777
a new headquarters for Goliath National Bank.
4
00:00:07,977 --> 00:00:09,848
And I was eager to add as much of my voices
5
00:00:09,849 --> 00:00:11,888
as an architect into the plan as possible.
6
00:00:12,177 --> 00:00:16,267
Woodbeams bathed in natural light in the atrium.
7
00:00:17,807 --> 00:00:19,406
They're gonna love it!
8
00:00:19,407 --> 00:00:20,987
There was only one problem
9
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:23,376
and his name was Bilson
10
00:00:23,377 --> 00:00:25,656
wood natural light
11
00:00:25,657 --> 00:00:27,636
Ah, no!
12
00:00:27,637 --> 00:00:31,236
Natural light reminds the workers
that there's an outside world
13
00:00:31,237 --> 00:00:33,416
where they had family and friends
14
00:00:33,417 --> 00:00:35,226
We want to crash that!
15
00:00:35,227 --> 00:00:38,327
You show up in the dark, you go home in the dark
16
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:42,297
You spend your whole damn day in the dark!
17
00:00:42,357 --> 00:00:45,006
I need to hear Lily's voice
18
00:00:45,007 --> 00:00:46,327
Who said you could leave
19
00:00:47,767 --> 00:00:50,606
Bilson was killing every original idea I had
20
00:00:50,607 --> 00:00:51,387
Then, one day
21
00:00:51,388 --> 00:00:53,196
GNB took him off the project
22
00:00:53,197 --> 00:00:56,346
and created a new task force to oversee my designs
23
00:00:56,347 --> 00:00:58,087
suddenly, everything changed
24
00:00:58,237 --> 00:00:59,287
We'll have a roof top in the end of the garden
25
00:00:59,288 --> 00:01:01,186
for quiet contemplation
26
00:01:01,187 --> 00:01:02,697
We'll have a reflecting pool in the lobby
27
00:01:02,698 --> 00:01:06,316
where local children can come to make wishes.
28
00:01:06,317 --> 00:01:07,496
The New GNB,
29
00:01:07,497 --> 00:01:09,926
A place of work
30
00:01:09,927 --> 00:01:12,816
that you can call "home".
31
00:01:12,817 --> 00:01:17,647
Thank you, and welcome home.
32
00:01:23,257 --> 00:01:24,667
Everything was going great,
33
00:01:24,947 --> 00:01:26,907
until one day, in the elevator
34
00:01:33,617 --> 00:01:34,907
yeah, it's ted
35
00:01:35,607 --> 00:01:36,575
no, no, no, no, no, no
36
00:01:36,576 --> 00:01:37,837
I did not approve that change
37
00:01:37,838 --> 00:01:40,616
for the blueprints for the new GNB headquarters
38
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:41,937
which I'm the head architect,
39
00:01:42,217 --> 00:01:43,737
at only 30 years old
40
00:01:44,547 --> 00:01:47,526
yes, I'm single, I'm not gifted charity.
41
00:01:47,527 --> 00:01:49,137
What is that has to do with anything
42
00:01:49,757 --> 00:01:52,307
Alright, goodbye, Mr. Mayor.
43
00:01:53,917 --> 00:01:55,936
You know that was a fake phone call, don't you
44
00:01:55,937 --> 00:01:58,126
Yes, and I also know
45
00:01:58,127 --> 00:02:01,527
that the new GNB headquarters project was scrapped last month
46
00:02:01,897 --> 00:02:03,427
Nice try.
47
00:02:05,566 --> 00:02:08,066
Sync by vNaru
48
00:02:18,277 --> 00:02:21,046
Check out Scarlett Johansson at the Oscars.
49
00:02:21,047 --> 00:02:22,369
If I could nail any celebrity
50
00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:24,040
it would definitely be Scarlett Johansson
51
00:02:24,368 --> 00:02:25,886
Hot, talented,
52
00:02:25,887 --> 00:02:27,956
and nobody does that many in Woody Allen's movies
53
00:02:27,957 --> 00:02:29,556
without serious daddy's issues
54
00:02:29,557 --> 00:02:32,066
If I could nail any celebrities, it would be Lily.
55
00:02:32,067 --> 00:02:33,937
She's the star of my heart.
56
00:02:34,847 --> 00:02:36,707
For me, it would be Hugh Jackman.
57
00:02:37,777 --> 00:02:39,826
You know, I don't know, celebrities,
58
00:02:39,827 --> 00:02:43,206
they're into some really weird sex stuff. Trust me.
59
00:02:43,207 --> 00:02:44,507
How would you know that
60
00:02:46,187 --> 00:02:48,446
This is embarassing, but I...
61
00:02:48,447 --> 00:02:50,747
I went home with a celebrity one night.
62
00:02:51,067 --> 00:02:53,366
Oh my god! Seriously
63
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:56,446
Yeah, he wanted to do this really freaky things with me,
64
00:02:56,447 --> 00:02:58,036
So I left. That's it.
65
00:02:58,037 --> 00:02:59,097
End of the story.
66
00:02:59,098 --> 00:03:01,236
No, no, not end of the story
67
00:03:01,237 --> 00:03:05,226
I need to know who, when, and in where. Spoil it!
68
00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:06,205
Lily, be calm, please settle down.
69
00:03:06,206 --> 00:03:07,607
You're swallowing to much air.
70
00:03:07,867 --> 00:03:09,526
But before you go any further,
71
00:03:09,527 --> 00:03:12,687
I'm flattered, but technically, I'm not a celebrity.
72
00:03:13,377 --> 00:03:17,026
Plus, for the last time, I put the mask on as a joke.
73
00:03:17,027 --> 00:03:18,536
OK, not you Barney.
74
00:03:18,537 --> 00:03:20,097
OK, who is it
75
00:03:20,877 --> 00:03:23,876
OK, now you give Lily the hiccups.
76
00:03:23,877 --> 00:03:26,096
Ok, I won't tell you anything specific.
77
00:03:26,097 --> 00:03:28,006
But all I'll say
78
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:29,465
is that he is Canadian born,
79
00:03:29,466 --> 00:03:30,607
but you definitely know this guy.
80
00:03:30,637 --> 00:03:32,606
And he got me back to his place
81
00:03:32,607 --> 00:03:35,496
by offering to show me a very unique collection.
82
00:03:35,497 --> 00:03:36,805
What do you mean collection
83
00:03:36,806 --> 00:03:38,387
Well, you know some people collects
84
00:03:38,388 --> 00:03:40,385
like stamps or coins, it's like that.
85
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:41,157
But I'm not telling.
86
00:03:41,158 --> 00:03:44,296
Well, at least tell us the weird thing he wanted to do.
87
00:03:44,297 --> 00:03:45,845
I don't know what you call it in the States,
88
00:03:45,846 --> 00:03:47,397
but we have a name for it in Canada.
89
00:03:47,398 --> 00:03:49,627
Look, I've already said too much.
90
00:03:49,787 --> 00:03:53,506
So, mystery celebrity who collects a mystery item
91
00:03:53,507 --> 00:03:57,416
asked you to do a mystery Canadian sex act.
92
00:03:57,417 --> 00:03:58,167
Yes.
93
00:03:58,168 --> 00:03:59,387
Tell us.
94
00:03:59,757 --> 00:04:01,077
OK, I'll tell you.
95
00:04:01,527 --> 00:04:05,376
But only if you guess all three parts correctly.
96
00:04:05,377 --> 00:04:08,056
- Well, that's just impossible.
- Exactly.
97
00:04:08,057 --> 00:04:10,546
I don't even know any Canadian sex acts.
98
00:04:10,547 --> 00:04:11,927
Well, you got your Sloppy Dog Sled,
99
00:04:11,928 --> 00:04:15,026
your Newfoundland Lobster Trap, your Full Mountie.
100
00:04:15,027 --> 00:04:16,157
How do you know all these
101
00:04:16,158 --> 00:04:19,156
Canadiansexacts.org, it's bookmarked on the top right.
102
00:04:19,157 --> 00:04:20,866
- Dot org
- Yeah.
103
00:04:20,867 --> 00:04:21,755
It's not for profit.
104
00:04:21,756 --> 00:04:24,157
They really wanna just get the information out there.
105
00:04:24,158 --> 00:04:27,926
Hey, so I just had the weirdest conversation.
106
00:04:27,927 --> 00:04:29,407
This woman at GNB told me
107
00:04:29,408 --> 00:04:31,905
that the new bank building was scrapped last month.
108
00:04:31,906 --> 00:04:33,067
It's crazy, right
109
00:04:34,327 --> 00:04:35,827
Wait, what's that look
110
00:04:36,027 --> 00:04:36,887
- Should we tell him
- I don't wanna tell him.
111
00:04:37,087 --> 00:04:38,385
- I think we should tell him.
- We're not telling him.
112
00:04:38,386 --> 00:04:39,127
There was no look.
113
00:04:39,128 --> 00:04:40,867
Guys, what the hell
114
00:04:41,407 --> 00:04:43,626
Ok, it's time that you know the truth.
115
00:04:43,627 --> 00:04:47,006
A few weeks ago, Bilson called us into his office.
116
00:04:47,007 --> 00:04:50,126
We're scrapping the plan for the new GNB headquarters.
117
00:04:50,127 --> 00:04:52,696
This recession is killing us.
118
00:04:52,697 --> 00:04:54,637
We're cutting anything non-essential.
119
00:04:55,477 --> 00:04:57,027
And I have a lot of tough choices to make
120
00:04:57,028 --> 00:05:00,027
to buy courtly retreat in Saint Croix.
121
00:05:00,897 --> 00:05:02,786
Man, Ted is gonna be devastated.
122
00:05:02,787 --> 00:05:05,046
Not when he hears it coming from his best friend.
123
00:05:05,047 --> 00:05:06,567
- I have to tell him!
- I have to tell him!
124
00:05:07,707 --> 00:05:09,175
You should tell him, you're his best friend.
125
00:05:09,176 --> 00:05:10,465
I'm not, you're his best friend.
126
00:05:10,466 --> 00:05:11,667
I'm not, you're his best friend.
127
00:05:11,668 --> 00:05:13,476
Quiet, here he comes.
128
00:05:13,477 --> 00:05:15,516
The white dude or the Asian fellow
129
00:05:15,517 --> 00:05:16,957
See I bearly know the guy.
130
00:05:17,797 --> 00:05:19,927
- Hey, Ted, what's up
- Hey, how're you doing
131
00:05:20,307 --> 00:05:21,457
I'm frustrated.
132
00:05:21,458 --> 00:05:23,616
Anything innovative I put on my designs
133
00:05:23,617 --> 00:05:25,916
Bilson just hacks out with a shitty
134
00:05:25,917 --> 00:05:28,027
I hate to answer to a guy like that.
135
00:05:28,087 --> 00:05:29,485
You should drop the project.
136
00:05:29,486 --> 00:05:31,095
You should totally drop the project.
137
00:05:31,096 --> 00:05:31,987
It's beneath you.
138
00:05:31,988 --> 00:05:35,086
Then it's settled. To Ted Mosby's new chapter...
139
00:05:35,087 --> 00:05:38,626
Are you kidding They just lay off
another architect at my firm.
140
00:05:38,627 --> 00:05:40,966
I mean Bilson is a pain sure.
141
00:05:40,967 --> 00:05:43,347
But without this project, I'm probably out of the job.
142
00:05:44,247 --> 00:05:46,896
Right, it's funny that you metioned the project.
143
00:05:46,897 --> 00:05:48,375
- Because...
- You're nailing it.
144
00:05:48,376 --> 00:05:49,747
Keep up the good work buddy.
145
00:05:49,957 --> 00:05:52,087
Your hair and teeth look fantastic today.
146
00:05:52,127 --> 00:05:54,387
You're shining like a diamond!
147
00:05:55,827 --> 00:05:57,157
Thank you.
148
00:05:57,187 --> 00:05:58,957
I needed that.
149
00:05:58,987 --> 00:06:01,027
All right, I'm going to head upstairs and keep working.
150
00:06:01,057 --> 00:06:02,827
I got to find a way to introduce some wood
151
00:06:02,857 --> 00:06:04,127
into Bilson's dark atrium.
152
00:06:05,287 --> 00:06:07,327
I think you know what I meant.
153
00:06:09,427 --> 00:06:11,587
- What was that
- What
154
00:06:11,627 --> 00:06:12,987
I have a thought.
155
00:06:13,027 --> 00:06:14,827
Okay, we're paying Ted's firm
156
00:06:14,857 --> 00:06:16,627
for two more months of design work no matter what,
157
00:06:16,657 --> 00:06:17,927
so couldn't we just let him
158
00:06:17,957 --> 00:06:20,087
keep working and not tell him
159
00:06:20,127 --> 00:06:21,627
He's had a rough year.
160
00:06:21,657 --> 00:06:23,457
Let's let the guy be happy a little while longer.
161
00:06:23,487 --> 00:06:26,157
Marshall, what you're suggesting
162
00:06:26,187 --> 00:06:28,557
is an elaborate, long-term lie
163
00:06:28,587 --> 00:06:30,257
that requires tremendous commitment.
164
00:06:30,287 --> 00:06:32,457
A nice guy like you can't pull that off.
165
00:06:32,487 --> 00:06:34,457
Sure I can.
166
00:06:34,487 --> 00:06:35,787
Lie to me right now.
167
00:06:35,827 --> 00:06:37,427
Okay.
168
00:06:37,457 --> 00:06:38,627
I have a spaceship.
169
00:06:38,657 --> 00:06:40,057
What kind of fuel powers your spaceship
170
00:06:40,087 --> 00:06:41,157
Okay, I don't have a spaceship.
171
00:06:41,187 --> 00:06:42,787
No!
172
00:06:42,827 --> 00:06:44,127
Stand your ground!
173
00:06:44,157 --> 00:06:45,687
If someone questions you,
174
00:06:45,727 --> 00:06:48,327
distract them from the original lie with more lies.
175
00:06:48,357 --> 00:06:49,327
Here, let me demonstrate.
176
00:06:49,357 --> 00:06:50,457
I own a pony.
177
00:06:50,487 --> 00:06:52,187
Ask me a question.
178
00:06:52,227 --> 00:06:53,957
Okay.
179
00:06:53,987 --> 00:06:57,057
Um, what color is your pony
180
00:06:57,087 --> 00:06:58,227
Well, when I first got Dandelion,
181
00:06:58,257 --> 00:07:00,227
she was a deep, chestnut brown,
182
00:07:00,257 --> 00:07:03,357
but, sadly, her stable is located near a chemical plant,
183
00:07:03,387 --> 00:07:05,057
which contaminated the drinking water.
184
00:07:05,087 --> 00:07:08,527
So over time, she's turned a sickly, grayish-white color
185
00:07:08,557 --> 00:07:11,657
and there's nothing that the vet can do to fix her.
186
00:07:11,687 --> 00:07:13,157
My God!
187
00:07:13,187 --> 00:07:14,927
I'm-- That's horrible.
188
00:07:14,957 --> 00:07:16,157
Is Dandelion going to be okay
189
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:18,527
Okay.
190
00:07:18,557 --> 00:07:19,527
All right. Huh
191
00:07:19,557 --> 00:07:20,857
You are good!
192
00:07:20,887 --> 00:07:23,487
Dandelion's not even sick, is she
193
00:07:24,857 --> 00:07:27,257
So the building's really dead
194
00:07:27,287 --> 00:07:28,827
and you guys lied to me
195
00:07:28,857 --> 00:07:31,887
We, we just did it to protect you, Ted.
196
00:07:31,927 --> 00:07:34,727
I can't believe this.
I just got screwed by my two best friends
197
00:07:34,757 --> 00:07:36,127
and I didn't even know it.
198
00:07:38,287 --> 00:07:41,187
In Canada, that's called a "Sneaky Snowplow."
199
00:07:46,488 --> 00:07:50,128
That building was my dream job, and now, it's just gone.
200
00:07:50,643 --> 00:07:51,873
We're so sorry, Ted.
201
00:07:51,913 --> 00:07:53,613
Yeah, I need a drink.
202
00:07:54,343 --> 00:07:55,373
Poor Ted.
203
00:07:55,413 --> 00:07:57,064
Would I seem heartless
204
00:07:57,065 --> 00:07:59,365
if I switched us back to Canadian Sex Acts
205
00:07:59,382 --> 00:08:00,312
- Not at all.
- I'm surprised you waited this long.
206
00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:03,773
What the hell is a "Two-Hand Zamboni"
207
00:08:03,813 --> 00:08:05,313
Let's just say, the only thing
208
00:08:05,343 --> 00:08:08,513
the woman is wearing is skates on her hands.
209
00:08:08,543 --> 00:08:11,543
A "Manitoba Milk Bag"
210
00:08:11,573 --> 00:08:13,173
Okay, it's like a "Chicago Mustache,"
211
00:08:13,213 --> 00:08:14,573
but the person on the bottom
212
00:08:14,613 --> 00:08:15,843
is wearing a snowsuit.
213
00:08:15,873 --> 00:08:18,643
A "Newfoundland Lobster Trap"
214
00:08:18,673 --> 00:08:20,313
Don't know. Don't want to know.
215
00:08:20,343 --> 00:08:22,343
Those Newfies are out of control.
216
00:08:22,373 --> 00:08:24,743
Okay! Okay, I'm going to make my first guess.
217
00:08:24,773 --> 00:08:26,213
Okay, but I'll only tell you if you
218
00:08:26,243 --> 00:08:30,073
correctly guess the person, the act and the collection.
219
00:08:30,113 --> 00:08:31,173
Okay, I'm going to go.
220
00:08:31,213 --> 00:08:33,043
Bryan Adams.
221
00:08:33,073 --> 00:08:35,013
He collects baseball cards,
222
00:08:35,043 --> 00:08:39,673
and he wanted to do a "Greasy Kayak."
223
00:08:39,713 --> 00:08:41,113
No.
224
00:08:41,143 --> 00:08:44,173
Wayne Gretzky, vintage Hot Wheels,
225
00:08:44,213 --> 00:08:46,013
a "Squatting Eskimo."
226
00:08:46,043 --> 00:08:47,113
Nah-uh.
227
00:08:47,143 --> 00:08:50,443
Kiefer Sutherland, souvenir shot glasses,
228
00:08:50,473 --> 00:08:53,013
and a "Sticky Flapjack."
229
00:08:53,043 --> 00:08:54,373
No.
230
00:08:54,413 --> 00:08:56,273
That I would have done.
231
00:08:56,313 --> 00:08:57,343
Wait.
232
00:08:57,373 --> 00:09:00,043
Wait, if they pulled the plug on the project a month ago,
233
00:09:00,073 --> 00:09:01,913
why have I been going in once a week
234
00:09:01,943 --> 00:09:04,513
to meet with the New Headquarters Task Force
235
00:09:04,543 --> 00:09:06,473
Well, obviously you couldn't come in
236
00:09:06,513 --> 00:09:07,643
and pitch to Bilson.
237
00:09:07,673 --> 00:09:10,743
So, we...invented the task force.
238
00:09:11,213 --> 00:09:14,043
Then it was just a question of putting together the team.
239
00:09:14,573 --> 00:09:18,143
You know Roy Waterman, Vice President of Capital and Risk
240
00:09:18,173 --> 00:09:19,043
He's actually...
241
00:09:19,697 --> 00:09:20,867
Roy the janitor.
242
00:09:21,543 --> 00:09:22,397
Hey. Excuse me, Roy.
243
00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:24,660
How'd you like to make a few extra bucks
244
00:09:26,109 --> 00:09:28,109
How naked do I have to get
245
00:09:29,343 --> 00:09:32,673
Louisa Mendoza, Executive Vice President of Assets
246
00:09:32,703 --> 00:09:34,273
She's actually...
247
00:09:34,303 --> 00:09:36,103
Louisa the lunch lady.
248
00:09:36,143 --> 00:09:38,203
Louisa, I need your help with something,
249
00:09:38,243 --> 00:09:40,143
but you can't tell anybody.
250
00:09:40,173 --> 00:09:42,343
No hablo Ingles.
251
00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:43,703
Exactly.
252
00:09:43,743 --> 00:09:45,803
This is a big secret.
253
00:09:45,843 --> 00:09:47,403
How do you say "secret" in Spanish
254
00:09:47,443 --> 00:09:49,403
Albondigas?
255
00:09:49,443 --> 00:09:52,343
Ah, yes. Albondigas.
256
00:09:52,373 --> 00:09:56,473
This will be our little albondigas.
257
00:09:57,373 --> 00:09:59,643
Hey, can I, uh, have a couple meatballs, please
258
00:10:01,203 --> 00:10:03,473
And Arthur Nasmith, the eccentric genius guru
259
00:10:03,503 --> 00:10:05,343
of corporate investments
260
00:10:05,373 --> 00:10:06,803
He's actually...
261
00:10:06,843 --> 00:10:10,443
Crazy Arty, 15th Street's own one-man band.
262
00:10:10,473 --> 00:10:11,403
Excuse me.
263
00:10:11,443 --> 00:10:12,473
Do you have a minute to talk
264
00:10:12,503 --> 00:10:14,243
Actually, my assistant, Reginald,
265
00:10:14,273 --> 00:10:15,303
makes all my appointments.
266
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:23,057
We rounded out the group with a few interns
267
00:10:23,187 --> 00:10:25,057
and paied everyone 50 bucks to act
268
00:10:25,177 --> 00:10:27,257
super interested in what you were saying.
269
00:10:34,027 --> 00:10:37,027
Reginald, get me out of this for next week.
270
00:10:37,057 --> 00:10:39,687
That was some of the most inspired design work
271
00:10:39,727 --> 00:10:41,557
I've done in my entire career.
272
00:10:41,587 --> 00:10:42,727
I was so excited.
273
00:10:45,587 --> 00:10:48,027
Alex Trebek, a "Musty Goaltender",
274
00:10:48,057 --> 00:10:49,557
- Beanie Babies!
- Nope.
275
00:10:49,587 --> 00:10:50,587
Damn it!
276
00:10:50,627 --> 00:10:51,927
Wait.
277
00:10:51,957 --> 00:10:54,857
So that explains the thing that happened with Louisa.
278
00:10:54,887 --> 00:10:56,687
- Good job, buddy.
- Nice, nice!
279
00:11:00,227 --> 00:11:01,957
Listen, Louisa.
280
00:11:01,987 --> 00:11:05,687
What are we gonna to do about this?
281
00:11:07,227 --> 00:11:09,357
Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.
282
00:11:09,387 --> 00:11:10,857
I know you feel it, too.
283
00:11:12,157 --> 00:11:13,857
What the hell.
284
00:11:15,787 --> 00:11:17,357
No, no puedo.
285
00:11:17,387 --> 00:11:19,927
Me voy a casar con el senor Barney.
286
00:11:25,187 --> 00:11:26,457
No! No!
287
00:11:26,487 --> 00:11:28,257
No, this is wrong!
288
00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:31,487
For God's sake, you're on the task force!
289
00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:35,557
Is there anything else you want to tell me
290
00:11:36,687 --> 00:11:39,387
Well, um, you know how you played
291
00:11:39,427 --> 00:11:41,287
third base for the GNB softball team
292
00:11:42,327 --> 00:11:44,457
There is no GNB softball team.
293
00:11:44,487 --> 00:11:46,757
We just rented out a field,
294
00:11:46,787 --> 00:11:48,287
rounded up a bunch of guys and told them
295
00:11:48,327 --> 00:11:49,687
to make you the hero.
296
00:11:49,727 --> 00:11:52,027
So my game-winning walk was a lie
297
00:11:53,127 --> 00:11:54,527
We're sorry, Ted, but we knew that
298
00:11:54,557 --> 00:11:55,887
you'd be out of work soon, and we just--
299
00:11:55,927 --> 00:11:57,287
we just wanted to make you feel good.
300
00:11:57,327 --> 00:11:58,287
You know, that's what friends do.
301
00:11:58,327 --> 00:11:59,557
Lie to each other
302
00:11:59,587 --> 00:12:02,057
Sometimes, yeah, to protect each other's feelings.
303
00:12:02,087 --> 00:12:04,457
No way! You never lie to your friends.
304
00:12:04,487 --> 00:12:06,057
I would never not be honest with you.
305
00:12:06,087 --> 00:12:07,357
Really What about that
306
00:12:07,358 --> 00:12:09,557
open mic night at the comedy club
307
00:12:09,587 --> 00:12:11,827
Are you like me, folks
308
00:12:11,857 --> 00:12:13,727
Have you ever thought about how many
309
00:12:13,757 --> 00:12:15,687
different kinds of fish there are
310
00:12:15,727 --> 00:12:19,627
And the names of those fish.
311
00:12:20,757 --> 00:12:22,457
Let's, uh, let's take a little ride.
312
00:12:24,987 --> 00:12:27,887
"Trout." Am I right
313
00:12:27,927 --> 00:12:30,587
"Sturgeon." I don't think so, pal.
314
00:12:30,627 --> 00:12:33,027
"Salmon."
315
00:12:33,057 --> 00:12:36,157
I'm going to say that again, salmon.
316
00:12:36,187 --> 00:12:38,127
Who thought that was a good idea, right
317
00:12:38,157 --> 00:12:41,387
"Bass." This guy over here knows what I'm talking about.
318
00:12:42,487 --> 00:12:44,327
"Halibut."
319
00:12:44,357 --> 00:12:46,027
Thank you, good night.
320
00:12:48,987 --> 00:12:50,027
How was I
321
00:12:50,057 --> 00:12:52,087
Oh, you were great. Really funny.
322
00:12:52,127 --> 00:12:54,427
You killed...
323
00:12:54,457 --> 00:12:57,587
everyone's Thursday night.
324
00:12:57,627 --> 00:12:58,927
Time out.
325
00:12:58,957 --> 00:13:00,757
You didn't like the fish list
326
00:13:00,787 --> 00:13:03,827
It was horrible! You just read a list of fish.
327
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:09,557
Anyway...
328
00:13:09,587 --> 00:13:11,457
you guys just proved my point, okay
329
00:13:11,487 --> 00:13:13,287
You lied to me to protect my feelings.
330
00:13:13,327 --> 00:13:14,657
This is completely different!
331
00:13:14,687 --> 00:13:18,457
I just wasted a month of my life working on a dead project.
332
00:13:18,487 --> 00:13:19,557
That's time I could've spent
333
00:13:19,587 --> 00:13:21,057
trying to bring my firm new business.
334
00:13:21,087 --> 00:13:23,987
Instead, I'm going to go in there tomorrow morning.
335
00:13:24,027 --> 00:13:25,357
I'm probably going to get fired.
336
00:13:25,387 --> 00:13:26,957
Best case scenario,
337
00:13:26,987 --> 00:13:29,787
my boss is going to ream me out in front of everybody.
338
00:13:31,657 --> 00:13:32,887
Back home, we call that a Sas...
339
00:13:32,927 --> 00:13:33,927
"Saskatoon Totem Pole."
340
00:13:33,957 --> 00:13:34,957
- Yes.
- It's on here.
341
00:13:41,786 --> 00:13:43,786
Good morning, lying bastards.
342
00:13:43,826 --> 00:13:45,726
Anything you want to lie about
343
00:13:45,756 --> 00:13:47,756
before I head off to work to get fired
344
00:13:47,786 --> 00:13:49,526
- That's a nice shirt.
- You're the devil.
345
00:13:49,556 --> 00:13:51,626
Ted, what if we told you that we found you
346
00:13:51,656 --> 00:13:53,886
a new project at GNB where you would be
347
00:13:53,926 --> 00:13:55,626
redesigning part of the 20th floor
348
00:13:55,656 --> 00:13:58,186
Well, if that's a lie, it's an incredibly dull one.
349
00:13:59,226 --> 00:14:00,586
What exactly would I be doing
350
00:14:00,626 --> 00:14:03,586
This is the 18th Floor E.T.R.
351
00:14:03,626 --> 00:14:06,156
Basically, Bilson wants a room just like this,
352
00:14:06,186 --> 00:14:07,856
only two stories up, on our floor.
353
00:14:07,886 --> 00:14:09,056
Wait, what's an E.T.R.
354
00:14:09,086 --> 00:14:11,326
It's the Employee Transition Room.
355
00:14:11,356 --> 00:14:13,826
- What does that mean
- Well, it's a space
356
00:14:13,856 --> 00:14:15,986
where a supervisor and an employee
357
00:14:16,026 --> 00:14:17,826
engage in a knowledge transfer
358
00:14:17,856 --> 00:14:20,526
about an impending vocational paradigm shift.
359
00:14:21,656 --> 00:14:22,856
People get fired in here.
360
00:14:22,886 --> 00:14:25,126
That's horrible.
361
00:14:25,156 --> 00:14:27,326
Why do you need a room specifically for firing people
362
00:14:27,356 --> 00:14:30,656
Well, um, GNB feels that people need a safe,
363
00:14:30,686 --> 00:14:33,086
secure space to deal with the news.
364
00:14:33,126 --> 00:14:34,486
Yeah.
365
00:14:34,526 --> 00:14:36,556
It gets pretty real in here.
366
00:15:22,256 --> 00:15:25,156
So I reluctantly agreed to design a room
367
00:15:25,186 --> 00:15:26,826
where people would be fired
368
00:15:26,856 --> 00:15:28,456
But I was determined to make it my own.
369
00:15:28,486 --> 00:15:30,426
Now, when you leave the dismissal space,
370
00:15:30,456 --> 00:15:32,056
you'll exit into what
371
00:15:32,086 --> 00:15:35,826
I'm calling the Rebirth Tranquility Hallway.
372
00:15:35,856 --> 00:15:37,956
Uh-oh.
373
00:15:37,986 --> 00:15:40,826
Here, you'll find a soothing oval chamber
374
00:15:40,856 --> 00:15:42,826
with a trained grief counselor.
375
00:15:42,856 --> 00:15:44,886
It's right here, past the New Beginnings Fountain.
376
00:15:44,926 --> 00:15:46,556
Uh-oh.
377
00:15:46,586 --> 00:15:47,756
And there you have it.
378
00:15:47,786 --> 00:15:50,586
Instead of a drab, dark prison cell,
379
00:15:50,626 --> 00:15:52,726
a nurturing womb...
380
00:15:53,956 --> 00:15:57,286
birthing you into a new life.
381
00:15:57,326 --> 00:15:58,426
I love it.
382
00:15:58,456 --> 00:16:00,126
- Really
- Yeah.
383
00:16:00,156 --> 00:16:01,286
Nice work, Ted.
384
00:16:01,326 --> 00:16:02,326
Thank you.
385
00:16:02,356 --> 00:16:03,626
Can you add some of these touches
386
00:16:03,656 --> 00:16:05,786
to the existing 18th Floor E.T.R. as well
387
00:16:05,826 --> 00:16:07,826
- Absolutely.
- Great.
388
00:16:07,856 --> 00:16:10,186
Let's take a look.
389
00:16:13,826 --> 00:16:15,586
Okay, so I'm thinking this wall...
390
00:16:15,626 --> 00:16:16,586
You're fired!
391
00:16:16,626 --> 00:16:17,626
What!
392
00:16:17,656 --> 00:16:18,756
I wanted this room!
393
00:16:18,786 --> 00:16:21,786
This exact room two floors up!
394
00:16:21,826 --> 00:16:22,556
But...
395
00:16:22,586 --> 00:16:24,156
You're fired!
396
00:16:24,186 --> 00:16:25,326
Now, get the hell out of here.
397
00:16:28,686 --> 00:16:30,526
Hey, honey.
398
00:16:36,156 --> 00:16:38,086
Anyone from the band Rush,
399
00:16:38,126 --> 00:16:41,526
a "Montreal Meatpie," and superhero lunch boxes.
400
00:16:41,556 --> 00:16:42,986
No.
401
00:16:43,026 --> 00:16:45,826
Okay. Rick Moranis,
402
00:16:45,856 --> 00:16:47,826
"The Reverse Rick Moranis,"
403
00:16:47,856 --> 00:16:49,386
antique Judaica.
404
00:16:49,426 --> 00:16:51,356
- Nah-uh.
- I give up.
405
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,686
I've been guessing for three days.
406
00:16:53,726 --> 00:16:54,826
I-I-I'm done.
407
00:16:54,856 --> 00:16:56,486
If that means I never get to know,
408
00:16:56,526 --> 00:16:58,326
- so be it.
- Fine.
409
00:16:58,356 --> 00:16:59,826
Tell us! Tell us!
410
00:16:59,856 --> 00:17:01,186
Tell us!
411
00:17:01,226 --> 00:17:02,756
Okay, you really want to know
412
00:17:02,786 --> 00:17:04,126
Yes! Yes! Yes!
413
00:17:05,356 --> 00:17:06,986
But this information
414
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,686
does not leave this table.
415
00:17:10,226 --> 00:17:11,626
Oh, my, God.
416
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:13,156
I am so excited.
417
00:17:14,686 --> 00:17:16,226
- Oh... I'm going to read it.
- Read it.
418
00:17:16,256 --> 00:17:17,356
- I'm going to read it.
- Read it.
419
00:17:17,386 --> 00:17:19,286
I'm going to read it. Here we go.
420
00:17:19,326 --> 00:17:21,626
"The Frozen Snowshoe,
421
00:17:21,656 --> 00:17:25,556
Old King Clancy, Harvey's trays."
422
00:17:27,726 --> 00:17:29,256
Right
423
00:17:29,286 --> 00:17:32,286
I don't know what any of those words mean.
424
00:17:32,326 --> 00:17:36,186
Is one of those supposed to be a celebrity
425
00:17:36,226 --> 00:17:39,926
Yeah, who the hell is Old King Clancy
426
00:17:39,956 --> 00:17:42,156
No, that's not the person,
427
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:43,356
that's the sex act.
428
00:17:43,386 --> 00:17:45,526
It's the same as a Sacramento Turtleneck,
429
00:17:45,556 --> 00:17:47,026
except with maple syrup.
430
00:17:47,056 --> 00:17:50,686
So the celebrity was Harvey Straze
431
00:17:50,726 --> 00:17:52,556
No, that's what he collected.
432
00:17:52,586 --> 00:17:53,786
Harvey's trays.
433
00:17:54,286 --> 00:17:56,026
Those classic orange trays you get
434
00:17:56,056 --> 00:17:57,256
whenever you eat at Harvey's
435
00:17:58,056 --> 00:17:59,956
The restaurant
436
00:17:59,986 --> 00:18:01,486
Oh, come on, you're road tripping
437
00:18:01,526 --> 00:18:03,156
down the Trans-Canada Highway,
438
00:18:03,186 --> 00:18:05,686
you get a hunger on between Milverton and Wawa,
439
00:18:05,726 --> 00:18:07,856
where you gonna strap on a feed bag, huh
440
00:18:07,886 --> 00:18:10,586
Harvey's. Over 12,000 served!
441
00:18:10,626 --> 00:18:13,156
So the celebrity was...
442
00:18:13,186 --> 00:18:15,386
The Frozen Snowshoe.
443
00:18:16,326 --> 00:18:17,356
Oh, my God! You guys
444
00:18:17,386 --> 00:18:20,056
have never heard of The Frozen Snowshoe
445
00:18:20,086 --> 00:18:21,226
He's only the most famous
446
00:18:21,256 --> 00:18:23,626
professional wrestler in Canada.
447
00:18:23,656 --> 00:18:27,226
I met him after he defeated Reckless Rick Rogers
448
00:18:27,256 --> 00:18:29,786
in the Kamloops Memorial Arena back in '02.
449
00:18:29,826 --> 00:18:31,156
Classic match.
450
00:18:31,186 --> 00:18:35,126
So you're saying The Frozen Snowshoe
451
00:18:35,156 --> 00:18:37,356
invited you back to his place
452
00:18:37,386 --> 00:18:39,486
to look at Harvey's trays,
453
00:18:39,526 --> 00:18:42,586
and asked you to do an Old King Clancy
454
00:18:42,626 --> 00:18:44,056
Exactly.
455
00:18:44,086 --> 00:18:47,156
And I'm serious, you cannot tell anyone.
456
00:18:47,186 --> 00:18:49,686
Well, my hiccups are gone.
457
00:18:49,726 --> 00:18:51,156
Possibly forever.
458
00:18:51,186 --> 00:18:52,886
Canada!
459
00:18:52,926 --> 00:18:54,586
You did it again.
460
00:18:54,626 --> 00:18:57,356
You even found a way to ruin this.
461
00:18:57,386 --> 00:19:01,256
Why Why do we let you be a country
462
00:19:01,286 --> 00:19:02,986
Hey, mister mister.
463
00:19:03,026 --> 00:19:04,456
Hey. Shouldn't you be upstairs
464
00:19:04,486 --> 00:19:06,256
designing your big, fancy E.T.R.
465
00:19:06,286 --> 00:19:08,726
- I'm off the project.
- What?
466
00:19:08,756 --> 00:19:10,226
Bilson fired me.
467
00:19:10,256 --> 00:19:11,356
You're kidding me.
468
00:19:11,386 --> 00:19:13,826
So what does this mean for you at your firm?
469
00:19:13,856 --> 00:19:15,156
Are you going to get laid off
470
00:19:15,186 --> 00:19:18,126
Actually, I just quit.
471
00:19:18,156 --> 00:19:19,126
Why
472
00:19:19,156 --> 00:19:20,686
Because I can't work for big,
473
00:19:20,726 --> 00:19:22,556
heartless corporate clients anymore.
474
00:19:22,586 --> 00:19:24,826
When I was pitching to your "task force,"
475
00:19:24,856 --> 00:19:26,926
I was doing the most inspired work of my career.
476
00:19:26,956 --> 00:19:30,286
In a way, you idiots reminded me how much fun
477
00:19:30,326 --> 00:19:32,156
my job can be when I'm not answering
478
00:19:32,186 --> 00:19:33,786
to the Bilsons of the world, so...
479
00:19:33,826 --> 00:19:34,986
I quit.
480
00:19:37,986 --> 00:19:38,956
They fired you, didn't they
481
00:19:38,986 --> 00:19:40,856
Yes, sir.
482
00:19:40,886 --> 00:19:42,456
But I got a sweet severance package
483
00:19:42,486 --> 00:19:43,986
and I've made a big decision.
484
00:19:44,026 --> 00:19:46,156
I'm going to start my own firm.
485
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:47,056
Whoa, buddy. That's exciting.
486
00:19:47,086 --> 00:19:48,326
Way to go. In this economy
487
00:19:49,586 --> 00:19:51,586
So you're not mad
488
00:19:51,626 --> 00:19:54,886
As it turns out, I'm grateful.
489
00:19:57,256 --> 00:19:59,086
So how'd it all go down between you and Bilson
490
00:19:59,126 --> 00:20:02,886
Well, after he proposed a vocational paradigm shift,
491
00:20:02,926 --> 00:20:05,926
I made an impromptu presentation using a four-pronged approach
492
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:07,386
that really brought him to his knees.
493
00:20:07,426 --> 00:20:08,386
Hit him with a chair
494
00:20:08,426 --> 00:20:09,926
- Yep.
- That's my boy.
495
00:20:16,057 --> 00:20:17,687
And this one, I got on the drive
496
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:18,887
from Milverton to Wawa.
497
00:20:20,457 --> 00:20:23,657
That's pretty impressive, The Frozen Snowshoe.
498
00:20:23,687 --> 00:20:25,687
Please, we're friends. Just call me "Shoe."
499
00:20:26,717 --> 00:20:28,057
Have a seat.
500
00:20:33,187 --> 00:20:35,317
So, Shoe...
501
00:20:35,357 --> 00:20:37,857
How would you like to give me...
502
00:20:39,857 --> 00:20:42,217
an Old King Clancy
503
00:20:45,257 --> 00:20:46,587
I think you should go.
