We could get into a lot of trouble for this.

And we also have a social responsibility to keep teenagers from drinking.

I guess.

Mac

Well, I don't know about that, though. Hold on, I mean, wait a second, hear me out, hear me out: it wasn't that long ago that we were in the same position as these youngsters, right? I mean, we'd get kicked out of some bar and what did we do, Den? We would get a bunch of forties from a homeless guy and we would go sit in some park.

That is true.

Mac

That is absolutely true. And what would happen? We would almost get raped and/or murdered and/or stabbed by the crackheads in Fairmount Park.

Hello, Stephen.

You want to know what else what would happen? We drove Nicky Potnick's car into a tree on Kelly Drive.

With Sweet Dee in the back seat, puking all over the headrest because some guy talked to her that she liked, remember that? Every time some guy talks to you that you like, you get so nervous that you drink yourself into oblivion.

No, no, I had bad potato salad.

Mac

You abused alcohol, and that's OK, that's OK, but it's very dangerous, right? Right? Well, maybe we should look at this whole thing from a different angle. Maybe we have a social responsibility to provide a safe haven for these kids to be kids. You know, experiment!

No, I don't like where this is headed.

We talked about it, and we decided that we need to get rid of that gun.

Oh, oh, the gun...yeah, we're getting rid of the gun.

Mac

You could have been killed. Dennis could have killed you.

Okay, good, yes, I think that would be for the best... ah...mm...Dee, could you get me a nurse?

Yeah, sure. [exits]

Tell me we're not getting rid of that gun.

Mac

No way!

[pulls gun out of his pants] Never.

Oh, you are being ridiculous. He's a professional football player.

Mac

No, look, I'm not talking about killing the guy. I'm just talking about going up there with a group of dudes and intimidate him, maybe break his arm.

You can't break Tom Brady's arm.

Mac

Oh yes, I can! No more Super Bowls for that pretty boy.

Where from?

FFrenkel

Israel. It just got to be too dangerous. I mean, you know with everything that's happening.

Well, that's a tough situation you got over there.

Oh yeah, you got that whole tsunami and the...

Mac

No, not that...

Well, the superdome thing.

Mac

No, there's no superdome...

Well it's one of those places over there.

Mac

It's a different country, Charlie so why don't...

Well I'm just trying to help the guy out.

Mac

Why don't you just shut up!

[Dennis has TP'd Frenkel's house]

Mac

This isn't gonna do shit!

What do you mean this isn't gonna do shit?

Mac

There needs to be a next step, or something-

Hey! Do you know how hard it is to get toilet paper off of a building, especially when it rains? This Jew's in for a ton of work—

MCMac and Charlie

WHOA!

Whoa, what?

Mac

Come on, man! You can't say things like that!

I don't know what I said. What'd I say?

You dropped a hard "J" on us.

Mac

Yeah. Yeah.

Jew? You guys said it—

Mac

Shhh! You can say it, but it has to be like, in context-

You guys—you guys said I could say Jew.

You can, but in the right context, man.

Mac

It's gotta be in the right context.

Well, what's the right context?

Well, uh—this, y'know...

Mac

Person of the Jewish faith in a group of other people from the Jewish faith.

"This guy's got a ton of work to do! I think it's okay that he's Jewish."

But that's not what I'm saying—

Mac

That's not what he's saying. Now, hold on a second, this is...if—

You guys don't know what the hell you're talking about.

"This man is in for a ton of work! He's Jewish."

Mac

We know—we know what we're talking about.

Yeah, we know what we're talking about.

Mac

No worries about that.

Mac

All right, kids, how you feeling?

DTDucks' Team

Good.

Mac

Good? Doesn't sound good. Are you drinking the Red Bull? Come on, chug 'em down!

DPDucks' Player

I feel sick.

Mac

That's the vitamins ripping out the inside of your stomach. That's a good thing, trust me.

Charlie, you've got a lot of balls, stealing my money. This shows leadership, I am promoting you to management.

That's why I did it.

Mac

That's why I did it too, Frank! I stole lots of your money, what do I get?

You get dick, because you are a follower and a thief.

How come Charlie...? It's not fair...

Why would you do this to us, dad?

Because you're crackheads, children.

Mac

Charlie look, I normally wouldn't come to you with this sort of thing because you're incredibly unreliable... but Dennis, Dee and Frank are all directly connected to this. Dennis' mom tried to have sex with me!

Interesting...

Mac

Yeah man, she got naked... she came on to me. I mean, that woman is straight crazy, but I think I wanna bang her, man! I know I shouldn't do it...

I think you should do it!

Mac

What?

Look, an opportunity like this only comes around once in a lifetime right?

Mac

Right!

And so you'd be a fool to let it slip through your fingers.

Mac

Yeah! That's what I'm thinking! But... it's Dennis and Dee's Mom...

Well that means that no one ever ever is going to find out.

Mac

That doesn't make any sense...

It doesn't have to make sense!

Mac

You're right! I'm gonna do it!

LLady

Are you going to take care of the crime problem here?

Absolutely, I say we put them on buses and ship them over to Iraq.. make them fight the terrorists.

LLady

You're very handsome.

Thank you ha ha.

This is going very, very well man.

I know people are really responding to me.

They love the bone structure.

Mac

[walking up to them] I've been looking for you guys everywhere...Look. I've been thinkin'...and I feel like I could be a real asset to you guys. I wanna help.

What? Wait, wait, so first you wash your hands in politics and now you want back in? That's called flip-flopping, Mac! That's what Democrats do.

Hang on a second Charlie, let's give the guy a chance to prove himself.

Mac

Yeah, yeah. Give me a chance...what should I do?

"What should I do"? Strike one, buddy.

You gotta bring something to the table, Mac.

Mac

All right...ah...check this out. [Goes up to woman pushing her baby in a stroller] Excuse me, hi. I couldn't help but notice your adorable baby.

WWoman

Oh, thank you.

Mac

Yeah, I was wondering, [stopping the stroller from moving] if you wouldn't mind if that handsome young gentleman over there kissed it.

WWoman

Excuse me?

Mac

Yeah...oh. I'm sorry. He's running for District 37 Comptroller, so it's cool.

WWoman

You know, I'd rather not.

Mac

[stopping the stroller again] Yeah, well you know...it's...good for him and it's good for you, so I think you should maybe just give me the baby.

WWoman

You know what? Please leave me alone.

Mac

OK, lady. Just give me the baby and I could get it over with as quickly as possible.

WWoman

I said no!

Mac

Goddammit, just give me the baby! [tries to unbuckle the baby out of the stroller]

WWoman

Somebody help me!

This is campaign suicide, dude...

Let's get out of here.

Ok,ok, uh I just killed three very large rats that were stuck in glue traps.

Good work.

No, no, no. That's not good trap. I'm done with rat detail. That's by far the worst job in the bar.

That's why we call it Charlie Work.

No, no dude not Charlie Work. There's like an emotional toll that comes out of this. I mean you kill one of these... [Dennis blows smoke in Charlie's face]

You kidding me?

What? What?

You're blowing smoke directly in my face when I'm trying to talk to you.

What is he talking about?

You know if you wanna smoke, you should have to take it outside.

It's a bar.

Yeah, it's a bar.

Yeah, but you know what? Charlie, I think you're right. I think we should ban smoking in here.

Mac

Oh, come on. That's completely ridiculous.

Why is that ridiculous? There are smoking bans in a lot of states now.

Mac

Uh, yes and its completely unamerican.

If you don't like smoke, then don't come into the bar.

I work in this bar. I work here.

But that's because you have the freedom to choose to work here. Smoking bans, they don't protect freedom. They strip them away from smokers.

Look, I didn't go to Vietnam just to have pansies like you take my freedom away from me.

You went to Vietnam in 1993 to open up a sweatshop!

...and a lot of good men died in that sweatshop!

Oh my god.

Look the point is if Charlie took any time to study in school, he would recognize that the Constitution protects my freedom to blow smoke all over his face.

You gotta be... you don't know shit about the Constitution man.

Mac

Uh, he knows more than you two unamerican freedom haters.

Thank you.

Oh, Charlie, we hate freedom. Yea we hate it.

Oh, I'm unamerican?

You're practically a Vietcong.

Is that right? Ok. You wanna learn a little something about America? Dee, let's roll outta here.

Where are we going?

We're gonna go America all over their asses!
