It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia · Season 4, Episode 2

Mac, Dennis and others in “The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis”

Mac

How are we suppose to scale back our energy costs when you are filling this generator with gasoline?

Dennis

Yeah bro, since when did you start running the bar on a gas generator?

Charlie

About a week ago. I've been doing it for about a week.

Dennis

Why would you do that?!

Charlie

Well because you know electricity is so expensive man. So I figured let's get a generator and you know run the bar on it.

Dennis

Are you kidding me?! Gasoline is like a thousand times more expensive than electricity!

Mac

You know what Charlie, you shouldn't be making these decisions anyway, okay? You're not the decision making type. As the brains of this organization, I should have made this decision.

Dennis

Hey, whoa, whoa, I'm sorry. Since when did you become the brains?

Mac

Uhh...I'm sorry. I've always been the brains.

Dennis

What?! What are you talking about? I thought I was the brains. What the hell am I?

Mac

You're the looks.

Dennis

Well, yeah, of course I'm the looks, but I always thought of myself as the brains and the looks.

Mac

No, you're the looks, I'm the brains, and Charlie is the wildcard. That's...

Charlie

Whoa! That's awesome.

Mac

Yeah! Yeah, that's the classic setup. You know this, no? Look, every great crew in history has followed that basic dynamic, right? Looks, brains, wildcard. Think about it! The A-team did it. Scooby Doo did it. The Ghostbusters did it!

Charlie

Oh shit!

Mac

Yes! Right? Our problem is that we don't stick to that basic format and it gets us in trouble.

Dennis

So what you're saying is that by breaking from that format, we're actually limiting our ability to be as successful as those organizations.

Charlie

You're totally right, dude.

Mac

Great, onto the matter at hand. We're getting plowed in the ass by the oil companies and the gas companies with their ten gallon hats and their rotten ass-plowing hearts. So, as the brains of this organization, I came up with a plan.

Dennis

Lay it on us, bud.

Mac

It involves us pulling up our bootstraps, oiling up a couple of asses, and doing a little plowing of our own. [long pause] Not gay sex.

Charlie

Ah...okay, 'cause that's what it sounded like. What did you mean...

Mac

We're gonna solve the gas crisis!

Charlie

Oh, good!
