Ted: I want to design a house that celebrates the landscape without overpowering it. You know, when Frank Lloyd designed "Falling Water" in 1935-
Client: Yes, yes, that's all fine. I'm sure you'll do a great job. What I'm really worried about is the basement; specifically, the laundry room.
Ted: The laundry room?
Client: I require a laundry room of fifteen feet by fifteen feet. Stain-proof ceramic tile from floor to ceiling. I'm a man who likes to do his own laundry, and sometimes, it gets messy.
[Flashforward to Mclarin's]
Marshall: Messy?
Ted: Messy.
[Flashback to mansion]
Client: Steel chains will dangle from the ceiling at a height of nine feet, and that is where my... laundry bags will hang, for three days and three nights, before I... clean them.
[Flashforward to Mclarin's]
Robin: Uh, Ted... it kind of sounds like what this guy is asking you to design--
Ted: [hollow] It's a murder house.
Robin: -- it is, it's totally a murder house!
[Flashback to mansion]
Tony: You know, as a martial artist, I'm trained to trust my instincts. My instincts are saying this...is very good.
Ted: This steak is so rare.
[Flashforward to Mclarin's]
Robin and Marshall: (gasp)
Ted: [whispering] Right? Right?
[Flashback to mansion]
Client: One final concern: Soundproofing. I tend to make a lot of...racket...when I "launder." I'll show you what I mean. I'm going to go to my laundry room, and you tell me if you can hear me.
Ted: Tony, does something feel...off...about this guy?
Tony: Yeah...off the hook! Bro, you are nailing this!
[Sounds of machinery and maniacal laughing come from off-screen]
[Flashforward to Mclarin's]
Robin: Ted, you can't design a murder house!
Ted: I'm not going to design a murder house.
Marshall: (shouting) Ted, you can't design a murder house!!
Ted: (shouting) I'm not going to design a murder house!!
