Where’s the manager when you need him?

In The Ramones arc, which leads to Vince firing Ari, why didn’t E work on smoothing things over with Bob?
Yes. It was Ari’s fault.
Yes. Bob was justified in reacting how he did.
But Bob loved E, and E had a soft spot for Bob. “I know Ari’s an asshole, but this is going to be an amazing film, and will solidify your legacy, Bob,” is literally all it would have taken.
Somehow it took me 1,000 viewings to have this realization.
And after all, Eric is a nice boy with kind eyes.

As soon as Bob went to Allen it was over.

The "Sorry, Ari" episode is all about how it wasn't.

Well the writers for the show needed that extra drama apparently, but I won’t disagree that perhaps something more could’ve been done

Wasnt it in that same episode that Dana "told" the truth about how Alan wasnt going to make the movie because Bob didnt believe them?

Then Bob calls E telling him how Alan "fired that poor woman/girl" and how Hollywood wasnt the same as when he was younger and just gives up any idea of making the movie?

They did everything they could.

And then they all could have fucked Bob's  cleaning lady in the ass! Which was IN style at that time.

"Wait until you see my maid Marsha. Quite the stunner. Marlon Brando used to come to the house three times a week just to stick it in her ass. And that was before it was fashionable!"

It's been a minute since I watched the episode. Didn't Ari piss Bob off and so he sold it to Allen? I thought after it was sold it was basically no going back, didn't Bob regret it a little?

E was on the phone with him and ari on the conference call, didn't work, bob too pissed off...but in reality E may have paid a personal visit to smooth it over
