It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 4

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005-Present) is an FX sitcom created by Rob McElhenney about five friends (played by McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny Devito) who run an Irish bar, "Paddy's Pub", in Philadelphia.

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!

Charlie:
You wanna talk about stress? You wanna talk about stress?! OK! I've stumbled onto a major company conspiracy, Mac--how 'bout that for stress?

Mac:
What the hell are you talking about?

Charlie:
This company is being bled like a stuck pig, Mac, and I've got a paper trail to prove it. Check this out. [Goes to a wall covered in paper and string] Take a look at this.

Mac:
Jesus Christ, Charlie!

Charlie:
That right there is the mail. Now let's talk about the mail. Can we talk about the mail, please, Mac? I've been dying to talk about the mail with you all day, OK? "Pepe Silvia," this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Pepe's mail is getting sent back to me. Pepe Silvia! Pepe Silvia! I look in the mail, and this whole box is Pepe Silvia! So I say to myself, "I gotta find this guy! I gotta go up to his office and put his mail in the guy's goddamn hands! Otherwise, he's never going to get it and he's going to keep coming back down here." So I go up to Pepe's office and what do I find out, Mac? What do I find out?! There is no Pepe Silvia. The man does not exist, okay? So I decide, "Oh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper." There's no Pepe Silvia? You gotta be kidding me! I got boxes full of Pepe! All right. So I start marchin' my way down to Carol in HR and I knock on her door and I say, "Carol! Carol! I gotta talk to you about Pepe." And when I open the door what do I find? There's not a single goddamn desk in that office! There...is...no...Carol in HR. Mac, half the employees in this building have been made up. This office is a goddamn ghost town.

Mac:
OK, Charlie I'm going to have to stop you right there. Not only do all of these people exist, but they've been asking for their mail on a daily basis. It's all they're talking about up there. Jesus Christ, dude, we are going to lose our jobs.

Charlie:
Well, calm down because here's one thing that's not going to happen.

Mac:
What?

Charlie:
We're not gonna get fired.

Mac:
We're not?

Charlie:
Because we've already been fired.

Mac:
We've lost our jobs!

Charlie:
Yeah. About 3 days ago a couple pink slips came in the mail. One for you and one for me. So what did I do? I mailed them halfway to Siberia.

Mac:
If we've lost our jobs, then that means we've lost our health insurance. That means all of this was for nothing! Goddammit, dude, I am having a panic attack. I am actually having a panic attack.

Charlie:
Well, will you settle down and have another cup of coffee?

Mac:
I am, bro.

Charlie:
All right, well, fine. You know what, Barney? Give this guy a cigarette, he's freakin' out. [turns to a man in black trench coat and hat standing next to him]

Mac:
Huh? Who?

Charlie:
Barney. He's the one who tipped me off to Pepe Silvia.

Mac:
Barney? Who the hell is Barney?

Charlie:
You don't see the...[Looks around and Barney's disappeared] Holy shit! Where the hell did he go? [Yello's "Oh Yeah" comes on in the background] Day Bow Bow.

Mac:
You've lost your mind! You've lost your goddamned mind, Charlie. [Cha. Chika-chika!]
