The intro: 11:45 AM. On a Tuesday. Philadelphia, PA.

Mac and Dennis are playing basketball

DENNIS: No, dude. It's not It's not a question of individual style. It's about having some taste.

MAC: You're attacking my ability to express myself, dude.

DENNIS: How am I attacking your ability to... I just don't get it.

MAC: (points at his shirt) What's not to get? "Come to Philly for the crack." It has a picture of the Liberty Bell on it. It's funny and original.

DENNIS: Yeah, but... It's not fun... How is it funny and original? Every asshole on South Street's wearing a T-shirt with an ironic slogan on it.

MAC: Well, excuse me if all my T-shirts don't have a little guy playing polo on the lapel.

DENNIS: You cut the sleeves off of all your T-shirts. What, so you can show off your tats? Those are really original, dude.

MAC: They're tribal.

DENNIS: Oh, they're trib... I'm sorry. What tribe are you from? - What? Is it, like, an Indian tribe or

Charlie walks up to 'em

CHARLIE: Okay, okay, okay. You guys gonna let me in this game or what?

DENNIS: No. You're the ref.

CHARLIE: I don't want to ref anymore. I'd like to play, so

MAC: You're an excellent ref.

DENNIS: You're a very good ref.

CHARLIE: Yeah, I know. I'm a great ref. And I'd like to play the game now.

DENNIS: Are you gonna get mad? You gonna turn into the mad munchkin?

CHARLIE: What's the ma...

MAC: Do you represent the Lollipop Guild, Charlie?

DENNIS: Do you?

They all start doing the 'munchkin dance'

WOMAN: Hey, Charlie.

CHARLIE: That's a mad munchkin dance? Oh, okay. This is what we do?

WOMAN: I need to talk to you. It's about our son!

They all stop!

DENNIS: Nobody wants to hear that.

OPENING SEQUENCE

INT. PADDY'S PUB - DAY

DENNIS: So, wait, she's sayin' this is your son?

MAC: I don't know. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me, Charlie.

CHARLIE: I know! I know it. There's, like, no way that this is possible.

DEE: Well, did you have sex with her?

CHARLIE: Yeah.

DEE: Okay. Did you use birth control?

MAC: Oh, Dee, we went to Catholic school, so - (shakes his head)

DEE: Okay. You're allowed to have premarital sex, but you're not allowed to use birth control?

CHARLIE: No. All right. You're twisting words here and, like, gettin' cute.

DENNIS: When did she have this kid?

CHARLIE: It's been, like, 10 years since I've even seen her, so

DENNIS: Ten years?

DEE: What does she want?

CHARLIE: Well, that's that's the weird thing. She doesn't want money or anything. She just wants me to meet him.

DEE: Are you gonna do it?

CHARLIE: No.

DENNIS: Well, dude, you gotta meet the kid. I mean, you gotta find out for sure.

CHARLIE: Yeah, I guess. It's just I mean, I wish I could go back in time and do the right thing, you know?

DEE: Like be there for him?

CHARLIE: No. Get her an abortion.

DEE: So you're not allowed to use birth control, but abortions are no problem?

CHARLIE: All right. Okay. So now you're, like, a word genius. And everything I say, you twist it around and make me look dumb.

DENNIS: Charlie's right though. He should have at least had a say in the matter.

DEE: It's her body, and it's her decision.

DENNIS: No, I'm sorry. It's not just her decision. The man should get a vote.

DEE: Okay. Well, ultimately it's her choice.

DENNIS: It is not just her choice.

MAC: It's nobody's choice. It should be left up to God.

They all look in disbelief to Mac

DEE: Is he? Is that? Are you joking?

MAC: No, it's not a joke! You remember Genesis, Book Two, Verse Three? "And he breathed into the nostrils of Adam on the first day. And it was good."

DEE: Right in his nostrils, huh? Sounds really uncomfortable.

DENNIS: (to Mac) You're making an asshole out of yourself. (to Charlie) Dude, you need to get a blood test, okay? I remember Stacy Corvelli. She was a slut.

CHARLIE: You're right. You're right. Uh, Mac, what's God's stance on blood tests? Hmm.

MAC: I don't know. I'd have to check.

(shows a shirt with "DEATH TO BABYKILLERS") Huh, bitch? Yeah! Is that stupid enough for you? You're not seriously wearing that, are you? You look ridiculous.

MAC: Whatever, dude.

DEE: You know, that's the problem with you antiabortionists. You cry about the sanctity of life, and then you wear a shirt like that.

MAC: I'm not listening to you.

DEE: Aren't you right-wingers all about the death penalty too? - Does that not involve killing somebody?

MAC: Right, right, right. And you liberals are against killing murderers. But you're for killing innocent babies. That's interesting.

DEE: Yeah. We like to kill babies.

DENNIS: You guys are taking this way too seriously.
