Marshall: Hey, um, can I borrow your phone? I want to call my dad.
Ted: Yeah, go ahead.
[flashback to Marshall with Dr. Stangel:]
Marshall: Man, this is great. I was expecting bad news. I really was.
[present: Marshall is outside MacLaren's as he phones his father. The phone rings in Marvin Sr.'s garage, but he's not as his work station. A cab pulls up outside MacLaren's. Lily steps out.]
Marshall: You're here! Oh, my God! I love you so much! Can you believe it?
Lily: Marshall. Something's happened. Um... Your father, he had a heart attack. He... He didn't make it.
Marshall: My dad's dead? I'm not ready for this.
