An odd thought...
Is it cold in here?:
Well, he didn't get punished for going out and getting the soup :-)
There are so few times Marten has been assertive that it's not a statistical sample, although maybe he feels by now that risk taking always fails.
Carl-E:
Risk taking frequently fails. So, when you take very few risks, it's not unlike;ly that they all will fail. You need to take a lot of risks to have a few successes.
Whether or not it's worth it, is the question!
And, off the top of my head I can think of one risk he took that didn't go south - he bought a guitar with his windfall raher than being responsible with the money, and wound up in a band. Not too bad...

Asking Hanners to join a rock band was a risk. She could have laughed in his face or moved to the moon.
IanClark:
Strictly speaking only the third can really best be described as "being assertive". Moving halfway across the country was reckless and taking a huge chance. It wasn't being assertive because that would essentially imply that he was trying to force Vicky to be with him. In the second case, he ended up getting what he wanted anyway, and far from being mocking his boss was supportive and said that he could do way better than that place anyway (whether or not that actually happened...).

That wasn't really a risk though, if Hanners had said no, he would have been in the same situation as if he hadn't asked her.
I suppose that she might have been terrible and enthusiastic and they would have been stuck with a lousy drummer, but that's a risk you take with anyone.
