In tonight's episode, Marshall let lose an amazing speech, which basically came straight out of my mouth. He was in New Jersey with his friends when he made a shocking admission. Big man small city, give it up!
Marshall: I hate New York!
I'm sorry but it's true. Okay, Today I was walking around Price Co. have you ever been there? It's huge. All the stores in New York are so cramped every time I turn around I knock something over. I'm like some huge monster that came out of the ocean to destroy bodegas.
Lilly: But Marshall, you love New York.
Marshall: Yeah, I do, except that I hate it.
I'm too big for New York! Okay, I'm always trying to fit into cramped little subway seats or duck under doorways that were built 150 years ago. Hey, guess what? people are bigger now - build bigger doorways, what the hell is the matter with you?
Barney: Small city big man, give it up
Marshall: And it's so loud. All the time. Yes, it's the city that never sleeps, well guess what? I like to sleep! I've been tired for eight years. Tired and scared with black and blue marks on my elbows from trying to fit through all these little tiny elf doorways.
New Jersey is great - it's got huge stores and lawns and you never have to carry a cup again. Not for the rest of your life. I'm not afraid to say it: I love New Jersey!
