Marshall Quote #483
Quote from Marshall in Old King Clancy
Ted: Wait, if they pulled the plug on the project a month ago, why have I been going in once a week to meet with the New Headquarters Task Force?
Barney: Well, obviously you couldn't come in and pitch to Bilson.
Marshall: So, we...invented the task force. Then it was just a question of putting together the team. [v.o.] You know Roy Waterman, Vice President of Capital and Risk? He's actually Roy the janitor.
[flashback to Marshall approaching Roy]
Marshall: Hey. Excuse me, Roy. How'd you like to make a few extra bucks
Roy: How naked do I have to get?
Marshall: [v.o.] Louisa Mendoza, Executive Vice President of Assets. She's actually... Louisa the lunch lady.
[flashback to Marshall in the canteen:]
Marshall: Louisa, I need your help with something, but you can't tell anybody.
Louisa: No hablo Ingles.
Marshall: Exactly. This is a big secret. How do you say "secret" in Spanish?
Louisa: Albondigas?
Marshall: Ah, yes. Albondigas. This will be our little albondigas. Hey, can I, uh, have a couple meatballs, please?
Marshall: [v.o.] And Arthur Nasmith, the eccentric genius guru of corporate investments. He's actually Crazy Arty, 15th Street's own one-man band.
[flashback to Marshall approaching a street performer:]
Marshall: Excuse me.
Arty: Ah!
Marshall: Do you have a minute to talk?
Arty: Actually, my assistant, Reginald, makes all my appointments. [points to a squirrel]
Marshall: [v.o.] We rounded out the group with a few interns and paid everyone 50 bucks to act super interested in what you were saying.
Arty: [talking to a tissue box] Reginald, get me out of this for next week.

‘Old King Clancy’ Quotes
Quote from Robin
Lily: I'm going to read it. Here we go. "The Frozen Snowshoe, Old King Clancy, Harvey's trays."
Robin: Right?
Lily: I don't know what any of those words mean.
Barney: Is one of those supposed to be a celebrity?
Marshall: Yeah, who the hell is Old King Clancy?
Robin: No, that's not the person, that's the sex act. It's the same as a Sacramento Turtleneck, except with maple syrup.
Marshall: So the celebrity was Harvey Strays?
Robin: No, that's what he collected. Harvey's trays. Yeah, those classic orange trays you get whenever you eat at Harvey's? The restaurant? Oh, come on, you're road tripping down the Trans-Canada Highway, you get a hunger on between Milverton and Wawa, where you gonna strap on a feed bag, huh? Harvey's. Over 12,000 served!
Lily: So the celebrity was...
Robin: The Frozen Snowshoe. Oh, my God! You guys have never heard of The Frozen Snowshoe? He's only the most famous professional wrestler in Canada. I met him after he defeated Reckless Rick Rogers in the Kamloops Memorial Arena back in '02. Classic match.
Lily: So you're saying The Frozen Snowshoe invited you back to his place to look at Harvey's trays, and asked you to do an Old King Clancy?
Robin: Exactly. And I'm serious, you cannot tell anyone.
