Mac

Oh! Oh! Oh! Everybody up on their high horse of marriage all of a sudden. Marriage is about procreation, okay? [Holds up two plugs] This is gay marriage! [Knocks them together] That's two dudes bangin' each other! What do ya get from that? Nothin'! Nothin'!

Uh, that's a persuasive argument. You should take your powerful "extension-cord" argument STRAIGHT to the Supreme Court.

Mmm-hmm, they'll love it there.

The whole purpose of buying the boat in the first place was to get the ladies nice and tipsy top side, so we can take them to a nice comfortable place below deck, and you know, they can't refuse...because of the implication.

Mac

Okay you had me goin' there for the first half. The second half kinda threw me.

Well dude, think about it. She's out in the middle of nowhere, with some dude she barely knows. She looks around and what does she see? Nothing but open ocean. "Ah there's nowhere for me to run! What am I gonna do, say no?"

Mac

Okay. That seems really dark.

It's not dark, you're misunderstanding me, bro.

Mac

I think I am.

Yeah, you are. Because if the girl said 'no', then the answer is obviously 'no'. But the thing is she is not gonna say no. She would never say 'no', because of the implication.

Mac

Ok, now that's the second time you've said that word, what implication?

The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with me. Not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she's thinking that they will.

Mac

... But it sounds like she doesn't want to have sex with you..

Why aren't you understanding this?

Mac

Let's talk needs first. Now I have the need for speed. It's very important, it's inherent, there is nothing I can do about it. So speed is a must.

Absolutely, but we are also looking to entertain guests on this boat.

Mac

Yeah, we're gonna throw some P-Diddy style parties up on the deck.

Can we talk shrimp for a minute. I'd like the boat to be able to haul in a tremendous amount of shrimp. Sort of a Forrest Gump amount of shrimp.

Mac

You should be writing this down.

Why are you not writing this down?

BSBoat Salesman

Let me just see if i have this right here. Correct me if I'm wrong. It seems like what you guys are looking for P. Diddy style of shrimping vessel.

You're a really good listener and I didn't peg you for one when we came in here because of the pinky ring.

Mac

I got us some turpentine, some wax and some high-gloss boat paint. This shit is really expensive.

Aw, dude, you're telling me. I picked us up some new slacks and docksiders, so we could have the right look. Y'know, fit in and everything? We're running pretty low on remaining dick towel money though.

Mac

Plus, we gotta fill that thing up with gas.

I know, man. We gotta pop by the department store, pick up the mattress--and I wanna get a nice one, too.

Mac

Wait, the--the what? The mattress? What do we need a mattress for?

What do you mean, "what do we need a mattress for?" Why in the hell do you think we just spent that money on a boat? The whole purpose of buying the boat in the first place was to get the ladies nice and tipsy topside, so we can take them to a nice, comfortable place below deck, and you know, they can't refuse...because of the implication.

Mac

Oh. Uh, okay...you had me goin' there for the first part, the second half kinda threw me.

Well, dude, think about it. She's out in the middle of nowhere, with some dude she barely knows. She looks around, and what does she see? Nothing but open ocean. "Aaah, there's nowhere for me to run! What am I gonna do, say no?"

Mac

Okay, heh. That seems really dark though.

Nah, no, it's not dark. You're misunderstanding me, bro.

Mac

I think I am. Heh heh.

Yeah, you are. Because if the girl said "no", then the answer obviously is no.

Mac

"No", right.

But the thing is, she's not gonna say "no". She would never say "no", because of the implication.

Mac

...Now, you've said that word "implication" a couple of times. W--what implication?

The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with me. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she's thinking that they will.

Mac

...But it sounds like she doesn't want to have sex with you.

Why aren't you understanding this? She doesn't know whether she wants to have sex with me, it's--that's not the issue--

Mac

Are you gonna hurt women?

I'm not gonna hurt these women! Why would I ever hurt these women? I feel like you're not getting this at all!

Mac

I'm not getting it.

Goddamn! [to old woman staring at him] Well, don't you look at me like that. You certainly wouldn't be in any danger.

Mac

So, they are in danger--

No one's in any danger! How can I make that any more clear to you, okay? It's an implication of danger!

PSPreston & Steve

Hey, who's on the line?

Mac

Is that us?

That sounded like us!

Mac

Uh, Mac from South Philly!

PSPreston & Steve

Alright, Mac from South Philly, you're on with Preston & Steve.

Holy shit, he got on.

Mac

Holy shit, I got on!

PSPreston & Steve

Please don't curse. Alright, here is the question: what Philadelphia Flyer holds the franchise record for goals in a season? You have 30 seconds, go!

Mac

[to Charlie] Okay, this is a hockey question, go!

Okay, hockey! Uhhhhhh, where's the "H" key? There's no "H" key-- there's no "H" key!

Mac

What are you talking about?

Is there another way to spell "hockey"?

Mac

Dude--

There's no "H" key on this key-

Mac

It's right there! Why did I put you in charge of this job? Aw, forget this, dude! I got this, I got this--think, Mac, think! Think--I gotta think like that guy that sits on the rock!

[puts his fist under his chin] This dude, the one like that?

Mac

Yeah, with the big muscles and he puts his hand on his-

He's big and green and he gets angry-- oh, the Hulk! The Incredible Hulk.

Mac

The Hulk doesn't think at all. Shit, I know this...

PSPreston & Steve

Dude, you gotta stop cursing!

Mac

You guys can't censor me, I'm a bit of a badass.

PSPreston & Steve

[chuckles] Can't censor him-- alright, let's go! Answer the question, come on!

Mac

Agh! I don't know, I don't know it. Damn it! Reggie Leach.

Reggie Leach is the... correct answer!

[pause]

AAAAAA--

MMrs. Mac

They ain't American, I don't want to know them.

KMrs. Kelly

I know. I wish they'd all go back to the desert.

Mac

It does seem like they're bonding.

It's not really a Golden Girls type conversation, it's a racist conversation.

Mac

Mom was a manager of Jiffy Lube for many years.

CCharle

I never heard about this.

Mac

Well, she doesn't like to brag. She started her way at the bottom and worked her way to the tippidy top.

There's only three people at Jiffy Lube so it's not exactly a high climb.

It's fatness, plain and simple. It's a person becoming fat before your very eyes.

And I don't even know how to make the bird jokes anymore. They no longer apply.

I'm not fat, I'm pregnant!

Mac

I feel like you say that all the time now.

You better do yourself a favor and flush it out.

Wait a second, you definitely said that before.

Mac

Since we're all saying things we say all the time. I'll just reiterate. Dee, we don't care about you, or your body, or that baby bird.

Mac

I browned out that evening.

Browned out? What's browned out?

Mac

It's when you drink so much that everything goes brown. It's not as severe as a black out because I remember bits and pieces. I call it browning out.

Mac

That's when Dee came in. Oh, hey, Dee.

[A ostrich appears in the doorway]

ODOstrich Dee

[prolonged squawking]

Mac

Look, I do not give a shit about your problems, Dee, okay? I'm still pumped up from that ass-whooping I just handed out. Did you see that?

ODOstrich Dee

[squawking continues]

Mac

I don't give a shit, Dee, okay? I don't know how you're going to get all that milk off of you.

ODOstrich Dee

[squawks]

Mac

What is that supposed to mean?

ODOstrich Dee

[squawking]

Mac

Okay, you know what, shoo. Shoo. Get out of here.

Mac

A lot of great actors have done blackface.

There's countless examples of very classy actors doing black face. We got the great C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man. We got the Wayans Brothers in White Chicks. That was a very tasteful example of reverse blackface.
