It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Season 5, Episode 3 — The Great Recession

Well, this is an interesting development.

#1

⇓

This is not good. You think maybe he's just vacationing?

#2

⇓

No. Charlie, there's blocks in front and in back of his tires. He's not going anywhere.

#3

⇓

Yeah. This guy's planted himself here.

#4

⇓

And I tell you what, once all the other R. V. Folks see what this R.V. guy is doing,

#5

⇓

they're gonna start parking their R. V.'s on our street. Shit.

#6

⇓

We're gonna be staring down the barrel of a shantytown situation.

#7

⇓

Oh, my God. Who just takes their vehicle and parks in someone's, you know, street...

#8

⇓

and says, "This is my street. I'm gonna live here now 'cause I'm poor"?

#9

⇓

I'll tell you who. New poor. What?

#10

⇓

Ever since the recession hit, waves of new people are suddenly broke.

#11

⇓

These people have no idea how to live without money.

#12

⇓

They're what's called "new poor." We're old poor.

#13

⇓

Yeah, they could stand to learn a lesson or two from us,

#14

⇓

because we would never take our homelessness and shove it down everybody's face.

#15

⇓

Have some class if you're gonna be poor!

#16

⇓

All right. Let's get this guy out of here, send him a message.

#17

⇓

Let's do it. Right. Let's slash his tires.

#18

⇓

Well, not that though, because then he can't leave. That doesn't make any sense.

#19

⇓

Well, you start putting plans under microscopes, nothing's gonna make sense, all right?

#20

⇓

Lots of things make sense. Slashing someone's tires so that they leave makes no sense.

#21

⇓

You gonna put everything I say under a microscope, bud? It's a stupid idea, Charlie.

#22

⇓

I'm sorry. You have a better plan?

#23

⇓

Dee! Sharpest item in the bar! I need it now! Let's go!

#24

⇓

Whoa. What the hell's going on over here?

#25

⇓

Oh, Frank's trying to kill himself.

#26

⇓

Is he all right? Frank, are you all right?

#27

⇓

Don't try to stop me. Oh, my God.

#28

⇓

- Oh, so he's alive. - I lost all my money in a Ponzi scheme, Charlie. I'm broke!

#29

⇓

His neck is so thick,

#30

⇓

I feel like he's just gonna swing and dangle around for a really long time.

#31

⇓

That's what it is! Let's cut him down.

#32

⇓

Frank, it's not gonna work for you. Your neck's too thick, buddy.

#33

⇓

- Tie a chair to me. - Times are tough, huh?

#34

⇓

Shit.

#35

⇓

This is terrible.

#36

⇓

What? What are you talking about? What is terrible?

#37

⇓

If you're looking for a better steak in an arcade setting, you are shit out of luck.

#38

⇓

I'm talking about eating out all the time. It's a business expense, Frank.

#39

⇓

It's only fair that the upper management of the bar get together to talk shop...

#40

⇓

over top-notch steak and some video games.

#41

⇓

You two have no idea how serious this is. I can't bail you out anymore!

#42

⇓

Maybe we should take this time to streamline Paddy's,

#43

⇓

make it run as efficiently as the government.

#44

⇓

Mmm! Yeah. Cut out the steak dinners.

#45

⇓

We're not cutting out the steak dinners, so just hold your horses on that one.

#46

⇓

If anything, we should be talking about bonuses. Let's talk bonuses. Good idea.

#47

⇓

Bonuses? Yeah!

#48

⇓

You run the business into the ground, and you want bonuses?

#49

⇓

Frank, don't be a moron. You start cutting bonuses, you're gonna lose your top guys.

#50

⇓

You gotta separate the wheat from the chaff somehow. Yeah.

#51

⇓

These dudes are all chaff. Right? Yeah- Well, no. We're all wheat.

#52

⇓

No, we're chaff. No, we're not. We're- We're wheat.

#53

⇓

Why would you want to be wheat? Why would you ever want to be chaff?

#54

⇓

Well, who wants to be- Okay, I'll be chaff, you be wheat.

#55

⇓

You two idiots have no business sense whatsoever!

#56

⇓

We have no business sense? He's the one dangling from a noose 10 minutes ago.

#57

⇓

That's a good point.

#58

⇓

Let's start streamlining right now. Frank, you're out. You're fired.

#59

⇓

Oh! You just got squeezed out, bitch!

#60

⇓

Oh, I'm squeezed out? Uh-huh.

#61

⇓

Well, let's see how far you two idiots get...

#62

⇓

without Frank Reynolds bailing you out every five minutes!

#63

⇓

- I'm outta here! - I'm comfortable being chaff if you want to be wheat.

#64

⇓

Okay, man, whatever.

#65

⇓

You're firing us?

#66

⇓

Well, first we're gonna give you the opportunity to defend your jobs.

#67

⇓

- Really? - Yeah.

#68

⇓

All right. I appreciate the opportunity, fellas.

#69

⇓

- I'm on it! Whoo! - Good. Show us what you do around here, Charlie.

#70

⇓

- Hoo-woo-woo-woo! - Oh, come on! This is bullshit!

#71

⇓

I shouldn't have to defend my job to you!

#72

⇓

Dee, we don't know what it is that you do around here. You don't seem to do anything.

#73

⇓

Me? Come on! I do a shitload!

#74

⇓

Why don't you make us a drink?

#75

⇓

Fine. I'll crack you open a beer.

#76

⇓

No, no, no. Not a beer.

#77

⇓

Something you have to mix.

#78

⇓

But this bottle is cold-activated.

#79

⇓

I mean, look at it. Doesn't that look delicious?

#80

⇓

It does look delicious, but mix me a drink.

#81

⇓

But the mountains, they've turned blue. Mojito me, please.

#82

⇓

A refreshing mojito would do. Nobody orders a mojito in this bar.

#83

⇓

So you can't make a mojito? Of course I can make a mojito!

#84

⇓

Then make one. Fine! One mojito coming up, gentlemen.

#85

⇓

I quit.

#86

⇓

Goddamn it! Shit!

#87

⇓

I was really looking forward to firing her. Me too.

#88

⇓

Okay, boys, let's talk rat traps, okay?

#89

⇓

Huh? I need money.

#90

⇓

Huh? The guys were being total knobs, so I quit.

#91

⇓

Also, you're really behind on my rent and they're threatening to evict me, so... money.

#92

⇓

What part of "I am broke" don't you guys understand?

#93

⇓

I tried to hang myself. No more bailouts!

#94

⇓

Well, what am I supposed to do? Not my problemo.

#95

⇓

What's with the briefcase?

#96

⇓

I'm gonna start a new business.

#97

⇓

I created an empire before, and I can do it again.

#98

⇓

Huh. You are really good at making money. Okay, I'm in.

#99

⇓

What are you talking about? What value are you to me?

#100

⇓

I'm desperate, so I'll do anything.

#101

⇓

Okay, that's good. Are you willing to destroy your credit?

#102

⇓

It's never really been a problem before. That's good. Hold that.

#103

⇓

We're gonna take out a big loan in your name and get an office. Great.

#104

⇓

Okay, let's go.

#105

⇓

All right, that's the rainwater barrels.

#106

⇓

Now let's talk about the trash. What do I do with the trash? How do I dispose of the trash?

#107

⇓

I don't know. We disposed of the trash in the Dumpster last night.

#108

⇓

What are you doing with it? I am taking it to the furnace.

#109

⇓

- We have a furnace? - Absolutely. Where do you think the heat comes from?

#110

⇓

You burn the trash in the furnace? This bar runs on trash.

#111

⇓

This bar is totally green that way.

#112

⇓

How is burning trash green?

#113

⇓

Uh, because I'm recycling the trash into heat for the bar.

#114

⇓

And lots of smoke for the bar. I'm giving the bar the good smoky smell that we all like.

#115

⇓

The bar smells like trash.

#116

⇓

That's the exact opposite of green, Charlie.

#117

⇓

Oh, I'm sorry.

#118

⇓

Well, I could put the trash into a landfill where it's gonna stay for millions of years,

#119

⇓

or I could burn it up and get a nice, smoky smell in here...

#120

⇓

and let that smoke go into the sky where it turns into stars.

#121

⇓

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about stars to dispute it.

#122

⇓

It's right. No, it's not right. All right, are we almost done?

#123

⇓

No, we're not done. I got one more piece of business. What is it?

#124

⇓

Lastly, before I open the bar in the morning,

#125

⇓

I always make sure to turn on the Coors sign,

#126

⇓

let people know we got iced delicious Coors in the bar, you know,

#127

⇓

and then, uh, that's the last thing I do.

#128

⇓

Ol' Charlie's done a lot of work around here.

#129

⇓

Charlie, that sign does not say "Coors." Eh?

#130

⇓

Goddamn it. Come outside! Come outside! Come outside!

#131

⇓

Goddamn it. Come outside.

#132

⇓

Closed! It says "closed," Charlie!

#133

⇓

Okay. Yeah, right. I can see that now.

#134

⇓

But, you know, you can't really read it from the inside.

#135

⇓

You can't read it from the outside!

#136

⇓

You know what? Forget it. I can read it!

#137

⇓

Are we done with this? Have we gone through everything?

#138

⇓

Well, that was the last thing that I do, sure. Okay, great. You're fired!

#139

⇓

No, come on. You're not firing me.

#140

⇓

Yeah. Yeah. No way!

#141

⇓

Oh, I'm sorry! Oh, really?

#142

⇓

So you're gonna throw all the trash in the furnace yourselves.

#143

⇓

And you're gonna filter the rainwater barrel all by yourselves.

#144

⇓

And I suppose you're gonna fiddle with the electricity every day all by yourselves...

#145

⇓

and siphon it from all around the neighborhood.

#146

⇓

No. We're gonna call a trash man, an electrician, and a plumber...

#147

⇓

and not turn the closed sign on when the bar is open!

#148

⇓

No, God! What is this?

#149

⇓

Are you kidding me? This is what I was talking about.

#150

⇓

We are gonna have a shantytown here in no time.

#151

⇓

Shit! Goddamn it!

#152

⇓

Honey, I'm home!

#153

⇓

Feast your eyes on the new headquarters of Reynolds and Reynolds.

#154

⇓

Frank and I are starting a business.

#155

⇓

We sublet our apartments. We're living in here.

#156

⇓

- Wait a second. You subletted our apartment? - Yeah.

#157

⇓

Well, what the hell, dude? I don't know if I can live in a trailer, man.

#158

⇓

You don't have to, Charlie. It's kinda tight in there already.

#159

⇓

Well, hang on a second, bro. We're good in tight spaces. I'll make it work.

#160

⇓

I'm sorry, Charlie. What do you mean, you're sorry?

#161

⇓

There's no room at the inn. You kidding me, dude? You kidding me?

#162

⇓

Unbelievable! So now I'm reduced to sleeping in the bar! Oh, hell no!

#163

⇓

No, no, no. You're not gonna be sleeping in the bar.

#164

⇓

Where am I gonna live? On the streets? It's a recession.

#165

⇓

Times are tough. Yeah. You'll bounce back, buddy.

#166

⇓

Aw, come on, man. Can I at least live with you guys?

#167

⇓

We're not in the business of giving out handouts, Charlie. We're not the government.

#168

⇓

Frankly, I'm a little embarrassed that you would ask. Yeah, it's a little gauche.

#169

⇓

You guys are boning me, man.

#170

⇓

I tell you what, why don't you and I hit D&B's and talk bonuses?

#171

⇓

Yeah. All right. Dennis, why don't you go ahead and lock that door.

#172

⇓

You don't have to lock the door.

#173

⇓

Go ahead and lock him out. Keep out the riffraff.

#174

⇓

You don't have to lock the door. You don't have to add insult to injury. I'm gonna be fine.

#175

⇓

That's locked? Yeah.

#176

⇓

- I got plenty of places to go. - No, you don't!

#177

⇓

Okay, Frank, tell me about this business scheme you're cooking up.

#178

⇓

Give me your shoe. My shoe?

#179

⇓

Hand over your shoe. All right.

#180

⇓

Observe.

#181

⇓

Wait. No, no, no- Oh- Aw, come on, man!

#182

⇓

That's a $200 shoe!

#183

⇓

Look at that. What are you doing?

#184

⇓

Feast your eyes on your new business.

#185

⇓

Knives.

#186

⇓

You want me to sell knives door-to-door? No. You're selling vacuums.

#187

⇓

I'm sorry. I took out a high-interest loan...

#188

⇓

to invest in a door-to-door knife and vacuum-selling business?

#189

⇓

Not just any vacuum. This is wet vac.

#190

⇓

Commercial power for the home.

#191

⇓

This'll get a red wine stain out of anything. Look.

#192

⇓

Oh, goddamn it!

#193

⇓

Check it out, Deandra.

#194

⇓

All right, this baby is powerful!

#195

⇓

Now, cover your ears because it has no muffler!

#196

⇓

Oh!

#197

⇓

Ah! Oh, that's good merlot.

#198

⇓

Yeah. That's good merlot. You're gonna want to keep those coming.

#199

⇓

It might be cheaper if youse went with a bottle of wine...

#200

⇓

instead of chugging the individual glasses.

#201

⇓

Mmm. Yeah, maybe leave the judgment back in the kitchen 'cause...

#202

⇓

There's a little bit of a look of judgment on your face. Just go grab them and...

#203

⇓

Okay, no problem. All right. Okay. Thank you.

#204

⇓

Great! Oh, she's terrific.

#205

⇓

I like her. Yeah, she's a cutie. All right, listen, Mac.

#206

⇓

I did bring you here for a specific reason, okay? Hmm?

#207

⇓

I got an idea for a stimulus plan for the bar that's gonna blow your freakin' mind.

#208

⇓

Stimulus plan? A stimulus plan. You want to hear it?

#209

⇓

Lay it on me, bro. Take a look around you right now.

#210

⇓

Now, at a time where businesses are simply failing left and right, who's thriving?

#211

⇓

Dave & Buster's. Dave & Buster's is thriving. Why do you think that is?

#212

⇓

I don't know. Video games? Video games are definitely a big part of it.

#213

⇓

I want you to do me a favor. Break down for me what I'm holding in my hand right now.

#214

⇓

Ah, that is a Dave & Buster's Power Card.

#215

⇓

Yes. Now, does your Dave & Buster's card work at any other similar establishments?

#216

⇓

Like, say, a T.G.I. Fridays?

#217

⇓

Mine does not, and believe me, I've tried at several locations. No, it doesn't.

#218

⇓

Yeah, 'cause I've actually been with you on many of those occasions where you've tried.

#219

⇓

Right. I don't think I've tried it enough. I think you have.

#220

⇓

Because clearly, at this point, you should've realized that it doesn't work anywhere else.

#221

⇓

There's one in Franklin Mills I haven't tried. I feel like that could maybe work.

#222

⇓

It's not gonna work there either. Let's move past that. I'm trying to make a point here.

#223

⇓

When you come to Dave & Buster's you spend your real money,

#224

⇓

but you leave with Dave & Buster's money.

#225

⇓

That gives you incentive to come back to Dave & Buster's...

#226

⇓

'cause it's the only place where your money works.

#227

⇓

I think that's brilliant. Maybe we should take a page out of D&B's book.

#228

⇓

And try the card at the Friday's out in the northeast...

#229

⇓

No, you son of a bitch. We're way past that at this point.

#230

⇓

I don't understand why you can't grasp that point.

#231

⇓

It doesn't work anywhere else. It's only gonna work here.

#232

⇓

All right. I'm- I'm getting all worked up. Okay? This is- Let's...

#233

⇓

I'm proposing that we print our own currency, okay?

#234

⇓

Make our own money? Yes!

#235

⇓

We call it Paddy's Dollars. Now we distribute that out to people for free initially.

#236

⇓

Then they become customers, and then they bring in new customers.

#237

⇓

And then once they're in, they have to use real dollars to buy Paddy's Dollars.

#238

⇓

That's exactly right, and that stimulates our own internal economy.

#239

⇓

Yeah, yeah, dude! That's a great plan! Then afterwards, we'll go out to Fox Chase...

#240

⇓

and use the Power Card at that Friday's out there.

#241

⇓

Yeah, yeah, yeah! No, we won't. You can though.

#242

⇓

Look, Mom, um, I've kinda come on some hard times...

#243

⇓

with the economy and everything.

#244

⇓

I got no place to go and everything, so...

#245

⇓

I was figuring maybe I should move back into my old room for a little while...

#246

⇓

till I get back up on my feet.

#247

⇓

Mmm, well, I don't think that's gonna work out, Charlie.

#248

⇓

Why not? I had to sublet your room to Uncle Jack.

#249

⇓

Is that why he's here?

#250

⇓

Hey, Charlie. Times are tough.

#251

⇓

And the economy is so bad...

#252

⇓

I needed to get more money in in order to make the house payments.

#253

⇓

What are you talking about? You don't make house payments.

#254

⇓

You own this house. You've owned it for years. Mom, that's crazy.

#255

⇓

- You collect Social Security. - I need money.

#256

⇓

You can share the room with me, Charlie.

#257

⇓

That's a great idea!

#258

⇓

- That is not a great idea. - Well, why not?

#259

⇓

It'll be fun.

#260

⇓

You know, you and me palling around, getting nuts,

#261

⇓

doing crazy, fun things.

#262

⇓

I'm not doing any kind of things that you want me to do with you, Uncle Jack.

#263

⇓

No, it's- it's stuff that relatives do.

#264

⇓

- We'll share the room, Charlie. - I don't want to share the room with you, dude, because I...

#265

⇓

I will spend the whole night wide awake like when I was a kid and you tried to share my room.

#266

⇓

You ever seen wrestling on television?

#267

⇓

I am well aware of what wrestling is.

#268

⇓

It's just not what uncles do to their nephews.

#269

⇓

I'm out of here.

#270

⇓

Hey, I'll call you later. I know you will.

#271

⇓

Just grab any knife?

#272

⇓

Just the sharpest one in the kitchen.

#273

⇓

All right, now when I cut through the shoe and make the sale,

#274

⇓

you suggest casually that we have a drink to celebrate. Right.

#275

⇓

And? Then I drop a little wine on the carpet,

#276

⇓

grab the wet vac, and then call it a deal, whatever. Zing-o.

#277

⇓

This is the best knife I own.

#278

⇓

Oh. Oh. All right. Mmm.

#279

⇓

Well, if that's the best you have...

#280

⇓

All right, now pretend that this shoe is an unboned chicken...

#281

⇓

and you're gonna cook it tonight and make a tasty dinner...

#282

⇓

that's gonna smell all through the house like cooked chicken.

#283

⇓

Actually, I'm vegan. Okay.

#284

⇓

Then pretend this shoe is whatever you people eat.

#285

⇓

Maybe it is a shoe. Nice one.

#286

⇓

Watch the way your knife cuts.

#287

⇓

Mmm. Oh, it's just flopping around. Oh, shoot. I-It, you know, doesn't...

#288

⇓

Shit's not even making a dent in the leather.

#289

⇓

This knife is a piece of crap. Mm-hmm.

#290

⇓

Oh. Now take a look at our knife.

#291

⇓

Beautiful pressed steel... Oh.

#292

⇓

With a nice, razor-sharp edge.

#293

⇓

Watch the way this knife blasts through this shoe with one motion.

#294

⇓

Uh-huh. Owww!

#295

⇓

Ohh! Ohh! Is this part of the whole thing?

#296

⇓

Oh, I cut myself! Ohh! It's a deep cut!

#297

⇓

Ohh! Ohh! I see your bones!

#298

⇓

- It's a deep cut! - I'll get you a towel! I'll get you a towel!

#299

⇓

- Oh, Frank! - It's okay. It's all right. I got Band-Aids in my bag.

#300

⇓

I just- I need your bathroom, that's all.

#301

⇓

Okay. All right. I'll just get my bag. Okay.

#302

⇓

Ohh! Okay. But...

#303

⇓

Eew. Is he gonna be okay, 'cause...

#304

⇓

Yeah. Yeah, no, no. He's gonna be fine, Beth. Don't worry.

#305

⇓

I tell you what- Why don't you and I have a glass of wine.

#306

⇓

Just bring it down a little bit, huh? I don't drink in the morning.

#307

⇓

Yeah, me neither. Oh, uh...

#308

⇓

Oh, shoot! Oh!

#309

⇓

Oh, I'm missing it! Hey!

#310

⇓

Oh, no! You're doing that on purpose!

#311

⇓

I'm trying to prove a point here, Beth, okay? Hmm? I- I don't...

#312

⇓

I'm gonna...

#313

⇓

Okay, I- Yeah. Oh, boy.

#314

⇓

Goddamn it!

#315

⇓

- These Paddy's Dollars look great, bro. - Yeah!

#316

⇓

I'm really glad we went with the color. They pop! Oh, yeah.

Little bit more expensive than I would've thought. But that's worth it though.

#318

⇓

That's an old-poor move.

#319

⇓

You take your money and put it into something worth it, you're not tacky.

#320

⇓

See, by transferring all of our cash into these Paddy's Dollars...

#321

⇓

and then printing more of these babies than we ever had in cash, we've upped our value.

#322

⇓

Shit!

#323

⇓

Oh, goddamn it. Look.

#324

⇓

Full-blown shantytown. We're screwed.

#325

⇓

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, dude.

#326

⇓

There could be some real opportunity in this.

#327

⇓

Yeah? Yeah, man. Think about this, dude.

#328

⇓

In recession times, what thrives more than anything else?

#329

⇓

Prostitutes. No- Well, yeah, that. But that and bars.

#330

⇓

Oh, and bars! Well, yeah! Right, because people gotta drown their sorrows.

#331

⇓

Get drunk! We own a bar!

#332

⇓

Yeah! So why don't we take these Paddy's Dollars...

#333

⇓

and just distribute them amongst the shanties?

#334

⇓

That way- Right. They buy the booze from us with the dollars.

#335

⇓

Right. They run out of booze, then they gotta buy more Paddy's Dollars from us.

#336

⇓

Thus creating the self-sustaining economy we've been looking for.

#337

⇓

It stimulates our economy.

#338

⇓

That's what Dave & Buster's does. Give me one up here.

#339

⇓

Boom. Boom!

#340

⇓

Who wants some free money, shanties?

#341

⇓

When people stop buying vacuum cleaners and knives door-to-door,

#342

⇓

it can mean only one thing, Deandra.

#343

⇓

That you blew all of my money on a very stupid idea? No!

#344

⇓

Good-bye, recession, hello, depression.

#345

⇓

You're very lucky that you're with somebody as resilient as Frank Reynolds.

#346

⇓

You've tried to off yourself two times in the last 24 hours, Frank!

#347

⇓

Listen, this business partner of mine called. He's got a great plan.

#348

⇓

This is the man who's gonna make us rich.

#349

⇓

This is the man? Yes.

#350

⇓

This man lives in a cardboard box! Times is tough.

#351

⇓

Goddamn it. Yo!

#352

⇓

Hey!

#353

⇓

Thanks for getting down here so quick.

#354

⇓

It's Charlie? Hey, Charlie!

#355

⇓

Charlie is your new business partner?

#356

⇓

Yeah. Well, what do you want? We're good in tight spots.

#357

⇓

That's right. All right. You ready to do this? You got it.

#358

⇓

Okay, let's go! Let's go! You're the man with the plan.

#359

⇓

Deandra, this is gonna work.

#360

⇓

There we go. Look at that.

#361

⇓

- Feast your eyes. - Here we go!

#362

⇓

What the hell is that?

#363

⇓

These are crabs! Fresh, local Delaware runoff crabs.

#364

⇓

Those don't look anything like crabs.

#365

⇓

Huh? Yeah, well- They look like sea scorpions.

#366

⇓

Isn’t there some kind of, like, sewage runoff around here?

#367

⇓

Yeah, there's a pretty bad sewage runoff, but, you know, crabs is sewage-proof!

#368

⇓

And depression proof. People gotta eat.

#369

⇓

We're gonna sell these on the street.

#370

⇓

- We're crab people now. - Crab people.

#371

⇓

We're crab people now? Yes!

#372

⇓

You want us to become crab people?

#373

⇓

That's your new business plan? Yeah...

#374

⇓

Yeah. I'm getting a call.

#375

⇓

We'll live and die by the crab, Dee!

#376

⇓

We'll eat off the fat of the sea.

#377

⇓

Help me toss some of these babies back, 'cause legally we're not allowed to eat those.

#378

⇓

Oh, thank you very much! Thank you. Great news!

#379

⇓

Let's go! Forget the crabs! Okay.

#380

⇓

- Nice doing business with you. - All right, shanty!

#381

⇓

Enjoy it! All right. Enjoy yourselves.

#382

⇓

Boom! Okay.

#383

⇓

Hey! We did it.

#384

⇓

I think we made every single one of our Paddy's Dollars back.

#385

⇓

You're damn right. Thus creating the self-sustaining economy we've been looking for.

#386

⇓

That's right. How much fresh cash did we make?

#387

⇓

Fresh cash? Yes.

#388

⇓

Uh, well, zero. Zero, if you're talking about U.S. currency.

#389

⇓

People didn't really seem interested in spending any of that.

#390

⇓

That's okay.

#391

⇓

So when they run out of the booze,

#392

⇓

they'll come back in and they'll have to buy more Paddy's Dollars.

#393

⇓

Right. That is assuming, of course, that they will come back here and drink.

#394

⇓

They will because we'll redistribute these to the shanties,

#395

⇓

thus ensuring them coming back in, keeping the money moving.

#396

⇓

Well, no, if we just redistribute these, then people will continue to drink for free.

#397

⇓

Okay. How does this work, Mac?

#398

⇓

The money keeps moving in a circle.

#399

⇓

But- But we don't have any money. All we have is this.

#400

⇓

How does this work, dude? I don't know. I thought you knew.

#401

⇓

I thought you- What? I thought you were on top of this!

#402

⇓

You're the one that came up with the plan! Did I come up with this plan?

#403

⇓

Last night, dude, with the D&B Power Card and the- Oh, I blacked out that night.

#404

⇓

Shit, dude! I've been following your lead! Oh, Jesus.

#405

⇓

Oh, shit. Okay, so we have no money and no inventory.

#406

⇓

There's still something we can do. That's still a business somehow.

#407

⇓

How does D&B's do it? They've got a complicated system. I cannot begin to understand it.

#408

⇓

How does a self-sustaining economy work?

#409

⇓

I don't understand how the U.S. economy works, much less some sort of a self-sustaining one.

#410

⇓

I don't understand how finances work.

#411

⇓

Shots for everybody!

#412

⇓

The government is reimbursing me all the money I lost!

#413

⇓

I love this country! Baby, I'm back!

#414

⇓

Wait, you got a bailout? Yeah, you know it, pal!

#415

⇓

Can you bail us out, Frank? Because we're kind of screwed here.

#416

⇓

I'll tell you what. Let's discuss it over steaks and Skee-Ball.

#417

⇓

Oh!

#418

⇓

Hey, bailouts all around! U.S.A.!

#419

⇓

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! I love this country!

#420

⇓

Crab meat! Crab meat! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

#421

⇓

- Crab meat! - Crab meat!

#422

⇓

Uh, you guys don't think that you're going to Dave & Buster's, do you?

#423

⇓

Uh- What?
