‘Last Words’

Season 6, Episode 14 -  Aired January 17, 2011

As the gang supports Marshall at his father's funeral in Minnesota, Ted and Barney try to get him to laugh, Lily tries to look out for Judy, and Robin carries a well-stocked purse. As the service approaches, Marshall thinks about his father's last words to him.

Quote from Robin

Marshall: Robin?
[flashback to Robin Sr. on the phone with Robin:]
Robin Sr.: And so, despite the endless disappointment you've caused me, I pray that this will finally be the year you achieve something of actual significance. I'd love to stop lying to my friends about you
being in a coma. Anyway, the point is, happy birthday, RJ.
[present:]
Barney: Whoa-ho!
Ted: Wow.
Lily: That's awful.
Robin: No, here's the awful part.
[flashback:]
Robin: You remembered my birthday!
[present:]
[Robin drinks from the flask]

Quote from Marshall

Future Ted: [v.o.] So Marshall finally got up to speak. Funny thing, though...
Marshall: Then my father said the last words that he'll ever say to me: "Rent Crocodile Dundee III. I caught it on the cable last night and it totally holds up".
Future Ted: He decided to keep Marvin's real last words just for himself.

Quote from Lily

Judy: Thanks.
Lily: For what?
Judy: I know what you've been doing today. And I really needed it.
Lily: Any time.
Judy: That dress makes you look like a Kansas City whore. Sorry, dear. Last one.

Quote from Barney

Marshall: I'll be right back. And if I don't come back, well, then these are my last words to you all. I really, really, really love you guys. And I'm going to go drop a deuce.
All: [groan]
Future Ted: [v.o.] Last words, it's a lot of pressure, kids.
Ted: It gets you thinking. [on the phone] Hi, Dad.
Lily: [on the phone] Hi, Dad.
Robin: [on the phone] Hi, Dad.
Barney: [on the phone] Hey, Mom. [sighs] I'm ready to meet my dad.

Quote from Ted

Lily: Marshall's mom hasn't eaten, slept or sat down since we got here. Wait! That can be my role! I'll take care of Judy!
Robin: Yeah, but doesn't Marshall's mom hate you... the fact that you two aren't very close?
Ted: Sweet save.
Lily: Okay, yes, Judy and I aren't besties, but today, whatever she needs, I'm there. I'm on Judy duty.
Ted: [laughs] "Judy duty".
Barney: She said "doody".
Robin: Really, guys? At a funeral?
Ted: Uh, okay, while not all of us possess your lofty sense of decorum, Drug-Dealer-From-An-'80s-After-School-Special, we have to laugh today.

Quote from Ted

Barney: Marshall Eriksen, you could use a laugh.
Ted: Yeah! This video is entitled, "Little League Coach Gets Hit in the Nuts by a Foul Ball and Then Vomits in a Garbage Can". I don't wanna give anything away. Let's just watch.
Ted & Barney: Oh!
Barney: See? 'Cause, 'cause he got hit...
Ted: right in the nuts,
Both: And the fat kid just runs away.

Quote from Marshall

Trey: So, my dad has these questions he asks to help create a theme for the service, or whatever. Question one: "What were your last words with the deceased?" Lame. Question two:
Judy: Wait. My last words with Marvin were lovely. I've been thinking about them a lot.
Marcus: Me, too. We went for a hike in the snow and had this amazing talk.
Marvin Jr.: My last day with Pop, he taught my son how to skate.

Quote from Marshall

Judy: "Last words" seems like a good theme. Marshall, do you remember the last thing your father said to you?
[flashback to Marvin Sr. and Judy leaving Marshall and Lily's apartment:]
Judy: Bye, sweetie.
Marshall: Bye, Mom.
Marvin Sr.: Son, there's something I want to say before I leave.
Marshall: Yeah, Dad?
Marvin Sr.: Could I snag that extra pork chop for the flight?
Marshall: I was gonna make a sandwich with that, Dad.
Marvin Sr.: Ah.
Marshall: Dad, don't they have food on the plane?
Marvin Sr.: Yeah, but plane food is ass.

Quote from Barney

Barney: This next clip is entitled, "Guy Playing Bagpipes Gets Hit in the Nuts by Low-Flying Seagull". Let's see what happens. [bagpipes]
Barney & Ted: Here he comes... Oh! Oh!
Barney: 'Cause he gets hit right in the nuts. And then the fat kid
Ted: loses his swim trunks.
Barney: Fall off. Shorts
Ted: just fall right off.
