It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005–…): Season 6, Episode 3 - The Gang Buys a Boat - full transcript

The gang attempts to open themselves up to the adventures of the sea after they purchase their 'new' boat.

Thank you so much
for taking the time to meet with us.

- Yes. This shouldn't take long.
- Uh-uh.

- So, you'd like to buy a boat.
- Yes. We have recently...

come into a considerable amount of money.

We're not gonna bore you with the details...

but let's just say my friends here
set off on a certain towel venture -

- Dicktowel. com.
- Yeah.

- You're not supposed to talk about the name of it.
- That's true.

Technically, we're doing a couple of things
on the hush-hush from Uncle Sam.

The point is, we're flush.

We are $2,500 flush, so don't worry about that.

We'd like to take some of that money...

- And taste a little bit of the high life.
- Absolutely.

We've also talked our friend into throwing
his entire life savings into the venture.

That's right.
I'm in it for the lifestyle...

as well as the great investment.

Okay.
Well, then what is it you guys are looking for?

Let's talk needs, please.
I'd like to talk needs first.

Now, I have the need for speed.
It's very important. It's inherent.

There's nothing I can do about it,
so speed is a must.

Absolutely. But we are also looking
to entertain guests upon this boat, so -

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

Um, 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 size amount of shrimp.

Um, you should be writing this down, I think.

Why are you not writing this down?

Let me just see if I have this right here -

and, please, correct me if I'm wrong.

It seems like what you guys are looking for...

is some sort
of a P. Diddy-style shrimping vessel.

Oh, right!
You're a really good listener...

and I didn't peg you for one
'cause of the pinky ring, but that's great.

You know, I've got just the boat for you.

Well, here she is- the Drowning Sailor.

But, uh, it doesn't meet,
well, any of your specs.

I'm gonna level with you, pal.

We saw this comin' a mile away.

We've had our hearts set
on this boat thing for days now...

which, in our world, is a level of focus...

in which I personally have never experienced.

- But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say -
- We'll take it!

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Wh-What are you doing? I was doing a thing.

- Takin' a long time, dude.
- We wanted to buy a boat. Let's get the boat.

It was taking a little while
because I was doing a presentation -

What if someone walks down the deck
and makes an offer before us?

Nobody's gonna make an offer
before I finish my thing.

We're not the only people that want a boat.

I'm confused.
Are you gonna take the boat or not?

Yes, we're buying the boat.

I wanted to add a little fanfare
into the situation...

but my friends here couldn't wait for that.

Yes, we're-we're taking the boat.

What a score!

- Houseboat, huh?
- Yeah. Abso -

The houseboat offers
all the advantages of a house...

but with the excitement of the sea.

- Think of all the fish we're gonna catch.
- Not just fish, Frank.

You gotta start thinking about shrimp, okay?

We're gonna be hauling in
so much shrimp every day...

it's gonna pay for itself 10 times over.

Picture tiny shrimp crawling
all over this boat, every inch of it.

Guys, can we not focus on the shrimp?

'Cause we have so much work to do.

It's a shrimp boat. I'd like to have
at least one conversation about shrimp.

No, shrimp is
a very small aspect of the whole -

Most important part of the -

Tell you what. Shrimp or no shrimp,
I'm very excited about it...

and I say we take this lady
out onto the sea and get loaded.

Slow your roll there, Dee. The lady's
not quite ready to go out to the sea yet.

There's a lot of prep work
that still has to be done.

Actually,
Frank and Charlie, I want you to start...

by scraping the barnacles
off the bottom of the boat -

'cause that probably
hasn't been done in years -

while Dee and Mac and I go into the inside...

and check out the decor situation.

- Huh?
- Mmm.

- One word.
- Shrimp.

Okay. Yeah. No. Just as I suspected.

We got our work cut out for us, guys.

This isn't Diddy-esque at all.

No. We gotta get rid of all this shit.

Are you guys crazy? This boat is awesome.

How about a little of this?

Huh?

What the hell is that?

This? That's my P. Diddy boat dance.
Uh-huh!

You look like one of those inflatable
dancing things at the used-car lot -

- The ones that flail around in the wind.
- No, I don't. I look good.

No, Dee. That's exactly what you look like.

I promise you that's what you look like.
You can't dance for shit.

I can dance,
and you don't know what you're talking about.

I'm gonna bring one in so you can see it.

Okay. Why don't you bring the guy in.
We'll have a dance competition.

I'm gonna be the judge of that contest.

There's not gonna be a contest.
No, stop. Everybody stop. Shut up!

No, nobody's bringing
any trashy inflatable man on this boat.

Absolutely not. Dee, stop dancing.

You look like an asshole.

We're not there yet.
We have a lot of work to do first.

Okay, Dee, since you didn't invest
any money in this venture...

you're gonna be the one
that's got to do all the hard labor here...

so I need you to get rid of all this shit,
and make the boat look nice, okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hard work? What are you talking about?

Work first, and then you can do your weird,
inflatable tube-man P. Diddy dance.

Or whatever it is.

You know what I'm looking forward to...

- Is catching me some Delaware River catfish.
- Oh, yeah!

They are so tasty!
I used to eat 'em when I was a kid.

You can't buy 'em in the stores no more.

- Why is that?
- The goddamned E.P.A. They says they're toxic.

Toxic my ass.
I mean, they're just endangered.

- Frank -
- They're tasty, man.

This boat is the best investment
I ever made, man. I mean, it's huge!

We're gonna pop over to the boat store
real quick and grab some, uh- Whoa!

What the hell are you guys doing?

- We're loading our gear.
- No, no, no, no. You should not be loading.

No one should be bringing anything
onto the boat.

You should be scraping, okay? So scrape.

Oh, well, we're gonna scrape the boat.
We are gonna scrape the boat.

Are you patronizing me?

Don't patronize me. Don't do that.

No one's patronizing you, all right?
Here's what we'll do.

We'll scrape all these little delicious oysters...

or whatever off the side of the boat.

We'll boil 'em up before you get back.

- We'll cook 'em for you.
- There you go.

No, those are barnacles.
Do not eat those. Do not serve them to us.

- Okay, all that.
- Honestly, don't eat those.

- You'll get very, very sick, okay?
- Yeah.

Now that is a direct order from your captain.

Whoa! Since when are you the captain?

Clearly I'm the captain.
Who else would be the captain?

I feel like I would be the captain. Dennis?

- I don't give a shit.
- I'm captain! I called it! Locked in.

Boom. Scrape. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

- I ain't scraping shit.
- No, we're not scraping!

- No, no scraping.
- Here's what we're gonna do.

- We're gonna fire up the boat, right?
- Yeah.

We're gonna take it out into the ocean.
We're gonna get some oysters.

- And shrimp.
- And shrimpies!

- Toss me the keys.
- Here you go.

What the hell was that?

It's the keys. I threw 'em right at ya.

I asked you to toss 'em!
You threw 'em overhand!

- That's the way I throw.
- Jump in there and get 'em.

- I'm not going in there. I don't sink.
- What?

I get in there,
I just bob around like a cauliflower.

Don't give me lines.
Jump in the ocean and get the damn keys.

No, I'm not going in.

Charlie, I'm not going in.
It's your boat. You go on in.

You son of a bitch.

All right.

Yo.
- Hey, buddy.

Uh, I got us some turpentine, some wax
and some high-gloss boat paint.

- This shit is really expensive.
- You're telling me.

I picked us up
some new slacks and Docksiders...

so we could have the right look
and fit in and everything.

We're running pretty low
on remaining dick towel money though.

- We got to fill that thing up with gas.
- I know, man.

We got to pop by the department store,
pick up the mattress.

I want to get a nice one too. You know?

The what? The mattress?
What do we need a mattress for?

What do you mean
what do we need a mattress for?

Why do you think we just spent
all that money on a boat?

The whole purpose of buying the boat...

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.

Oh. Uh, okay.

You had me going there for the first part.

The second half kind of 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 going to do, say no?"

Okay. That -

- That seems really dark.
- No, it's not dark. You're misunderstanding me, bro.

- I think I am.
- Yeah, you are.

- Because if the girl said no, then the answer obviously is no.
- No.

The thing is, she's not gonna say no.

She would never say no,
because of the implication.

Now, you've said that word "implication"
a couple of times.

Wh-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.

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

- Why aren't you understanding this?
- I don't -

She doesn't know whether she wants
to have sex with me. That's not the issue.

- Are you gonna hurt women?
- I'm not going to hurt these women.

- Why would I ever hurt these women?
- I don't know.

- I feel like you're not getting this.
- I'm not getting it.

Goddamn.

Don't you look at me like that.
You certainly wouldn't be in any danger.

- 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.

- You know what? Just drop it.
- Let's drop it.

Buy your shit and let's get out of here.

Oh, Charlie. Charlie, you got 'em?

- No keys. Can't find 'em.
- What?

I found a couple cool things.
- What?

- I got a tooth.
- Ooh, look at that.

- It's like a horse's tooth or something.
- Ah, yeah.

And look at this bullet.

Ooh! This is a war relic.

This could be valuable.

What the hell happened down there?
Some kind of horse massacre?

- Could be.
- Could be, right?

- Yeah.
- There's so much cool shit down there...

I'm gonna keep diving, looking for it.

I need a flashlight 'cause it's dark.

Flashlight coming up.

Just toss it to me real quick.

- Come on, man.
- I throw overhand, Charlie. Ooh.

# Stop #

# Drop #

# Shut 'em down
Open up shop #

- # Oh #
- What the hell are you doing in here?

Aw, just throwing all these old, like...

dolls and compasses
and hair brushes and shit overboard.

Mac and Dennis are making me clean up.

- Well, this is a shit-hole, isn't it?
- Yeah.

- Maybe we should gut it.
- All right.

Let's see. Ooh.

Ah! Here we go.

Now let's see.
Start with this beautiful baby here.

Whoa!

Crash and burn.

Holy mackerel.

Die, you sucker!

Oh, baby, look out.

Whoa!

That ain't good.

Whoa, Christ!

Think about, like,
all the movies and the books...

and all the stories
of all the terrible, awful, awful things...

that have happened
out in the middle of the ocean.

You know, that's the stuff
that's rattling around in her head...

informing her decision
as to whether she sleeps with me or not.

That's all I'm saying.
It's not like a big thing or -

Uh-huh.

Look, I need you to understand this, okay?

- You're making it seem like I'm some sort of monster.
- Yeah, okay.

Hey, wha -
What is going on in there?

- Like this?
- It's more like a rolling sway.

What the hell are you guys doing in here?

Oh, my God.
What the hell did you do to our boat?

- Uh, we were cleaning it.
- Wow, wow, wow. What's that all about?

You're just breaking everything in this boat.

You were supposed to be fixing it up
and making it look nice.

Crew meeting! Crew meeting!

- Where is Charlie?
- He's in the water.

What is he doing in the water?

Charlie.

- What are you doing?
- Oh, hey, guys, come here.

You are not going to believe
how much cool shit is under the boat.

There's like a whole world of ancient stuff.

There was a horse massacre
in the Revolutionary time...

and then there's like a pirate ship.

Like, I found all these old pretty little dolls.
She's pretty, right?

- No.
- Maybe like a brush -

- Like a pirate was brushing his hair -
- No!

killed a horse and then jumped in the ocean.

Goddamn it!
I've been cleaning up in there for hours...

throwing this shit overboard,
and you're just dragging it all back up.

You've been dumping the trash in the ocean?

Wait, wait. Why are you
swimming in the water in the first place?

- He dropped the keys in the water.
- I did not.

All right, first of all,
he threw the keys at me overhand.

You should have seen this throw.

We leave you guys alone for 45 minutes...

and you destroy the interior of the boat,
you lose the keys -

I can get those keys.

I need you guys to buy some scuba equipment
so I can stay down there longer.

Do you realize how much money
scuba equipment costs?

No. Rent the cheap stuff.
Just rent some cheap stuff, all right?

In the meantime,
we'll clear all this stuff off.

We'll start to paint, all right?

By the time you guys come back, I promise you,
I promise, the boat will be looking better.

I can't tell. Is he patronizing me again?
I can't even tell anymore.

No. What he's saying is really stupid,
but it's sincere, okay?

It's sincere this time.
You're just a little sensitive to it now.

- Sorry, Charlie.
- I'm sorry too.

That was patronizing!
You can't patronize your captain.

- Come on. Come on.
- That's a sea law.

Yo, dude.

You realize
how much boating equipment costs?

It's crazy. It's astronomical.

I can't believe how much
they charge for this shit.

You know, Dee,
Frank and Charlie are driving me crazy.

We're spending all of our dick towel money.

They're throwing keys into the water
and losing everything.

You're not even listening to me.

No, I heard you.
You said a bunch of words. Look at this.

- What is that?
- It's like some kind of dock party mixer, dude.

It's a flyer.
Look at these chicks. And an anchor.

Dude, that's what we need to be doing.

We need to mix it up at mixers with
other boat people and living the lifestyle.

You're right. Okay, cool.

- And then we'll be back in the high life again.
- Yeah.

- Like Stevie Nicks.
- That's actually Steve Winwood.

- Right. Same dude, right?
- It's not the same dude.

Actually, one's not even a dude.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.

It doesn't matter, dude.
I love that song. Let's buy that CD.

Well, first of all, I love that song too.

That's why I already own the CD.

I own all of Steve Winwood's shit.
You should know this.

Secondly, we have not been
on the same page all day.

We can't be spending money
on CDs that I already own.

We're spending too much money as it is.

It's bad enough I let you buy
that stupid inflatable guy from the car lot.

# Wanna get dirty #

Stop it!

Stop it! Goddamn it, don't!

It's not the puffy guy. It's this music -

- This aggressive music you're playing.
- Huh?

This is not boat music.

It's got nothing to do with the music.

Listen to me. Listen to me!

I'm turning it off.

Riled you up.

- Yo, you guys.
- Look at you- Fighting with a green guy.

You're never going to believe what I just
found floating off the end of the boat.

Okay, I'm scraping those little
delicious oysters off the bottom, right?

- Why is this turned off?
- You're back. You don't even -

I got to say, guys, I'm very impressed.

The boat's really starting to come along.
I didn't think you guys had it in you.

There's a couple more brushes here
and a little paint.

Get to work.
We'll do the trim and then we'll be done.

Us? Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

We're not going to be doing any of that.

You're not gonna be doing any of that?
What do you mean?

We're not gonna be doing any of the work.

That's what you guys are doing.
That was the whole deal.

- No, we got a party to get ready for.
- Yeah.

We're going to do all the work
while you guys go to a party?

- We got to socialize.
- I could socialize.

Uh, no. Not looking like you're looking.

You're covered in paint and dirt
and grime and all kinds of shit.

Your skin looks like leather
and you got blisters all over your lips.

You guys look absolutely terrible.

Well, we're out of here.

So, Charlie...

there's your, uh- here's your scuba gear.

Find the keys. Just find 'em.

Oh, guys- Keep up the good work.

See, now they flipped it around.

They're patronizing us.

They're absolutely patronizing us, Frank.

But don't take it to heart, 'cause I got
something that's going to cheer you up.

- What?
- Guess who found the keys.

- The keys!
- You found the keys!

They were just floating under the boat.
They got a little floaty thing.

This is amazing, by the way -
these floaty things. We should patent this.

Okay, I think this is it.
Now this is much more our speed.

These are the kind of people
we should be hanging out with.

Man, now this is a boat.

Ahoy, ahoy.

Hi. Hi. A couple of fellow yachters.

Saw your flyer at the boat... store.

Oh.

Do-Do we have the wrong yacht?

No, no, no.
Come on in. Grab a drink.

We're just getting warmed up.

- Okay.
- Sure. We'll just -

Yeah.

- Uh, can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah.

Um, this isn't the crowd I was expecting.

These guys are more barnacle covered
and sunburned than Dee and Frank.

Let's not rush to judgment, okay?

These are real men of the sea.

Maybe this whole thing
isn't about meeting girls.

Maybe it's about having an adventure,
you know? An open-ocean adventure.

Take a look at this guy.
How'd he lose that hand?

I bet you it was
some kind of crazy adventure, right?

Let's find out.

- Yeah.
- Let's go talk to him.

Hey, bro, how'd you lose that hand?

Diabetes.

Oh.

Um -

That's not, uh, much of an adventure, is it?

- Mmm.
- Kind of tragic.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

You know, we'll let you get back to -

We're gonna go over to the bar
and grab a drink.

I'd offer to pour you a drink,
but you probably can't drink though...

with the, uh -

- Diabetes.
- Diabetes.

- Uh, yeah.
- Yeah.

Okay, you know what? I was wrong, dude.

- This is a bummer.
- Yeah, this is a major bummer.

Let's get the hell out of here.
What do you say?

Hey, guys, thanks for everything.
I think we're just gonna take off though.

No, no, no, no. Don't do that.

We're just getting warmed up.

We're going to set sail soon...

and we're going to have
a couple of tasty treats out there.

It's going to get nuts out there, fellas, right?

We're going to be out on open ocean, right?

Huh? Anything can happen out there.

No laws. Right, boys?

Just us and our tasty treats.

- That was an implication, right?
- That was definitely the implication.

Tasty treats? Are we the tasty treats?

We're the tasty treats in this scenario.

They're gonna take us out
into the open ocean.

They're gonna have their way with us.
We gotta get out of here.

- Is this how you wanted those women to feel?
- No.

You know what?
I don't enjoy having this conversation with you.

I feel like you're lumping me in with them.

Now, gentlemen,
the moment you've all been waiting for.

- Whoo! Yeah.
- The ladies have arrived.

# I'll be back in the high life again #

# All the doors I closed one time #

# Will open up again #

# I'll be back in the high life- #

Oh, Frank, you were absolutely right.

This is boat music.

Yeah, this is the kind of music
you ought to listen to.

I am learning some amazing moves
from this guy.

Yeah, you're doing great.

You got the moves.

Does anybody want any more catfish?

Yo, dude, definitely give me
another one of those.

They're delicious!

- And you can taste that sort of endangered tang.
- That's it.

Oh, hold on. I'm getting a call.

Y'ello.

- Hey, Charlie,
did you guys ever find those keys?

- Yeah, man, I did, actually. I did. Can you believe that?
- Okay, great.

I need you to grab Frank and Dee
and get the hell out of there...

because we're gonna be bringing back a couple
of tasty treats, if you know what I'm saying.

Hey, man, yeah. Absolutely.

I'll get right on that.

- What?
- That's how you patronize someone right there.

- What, what, what, what, what?
- Dennis being a dick. Don't worry about it, man.

- This scuba equipment's broken. It's useless.
- The hell with it.

Let's get back to shrimping.
I'm gonna toss this shit. It's crap anyway.

Ooh, that's not good.

Uh, hey, um, what do you do
if the boat is on fire?

- What do you mean?
- Boat is on fire.

- Oh, fire's getting bigger.
- What?

- Fire's getting big. Fire's getting big.
- Go!

- Help!
- Holy shit!

- Find some water.
- Find some water?

What do you mean find some water?

- There's water everywhere.
- Help!

Help us.

I cannot wait to get you ladies
out into the sea.

It's so much more romantic
in the middle of nowhere...

where we can be completely alone...

and you can make rash decisions
based on fear.

Right, Dennis?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Oh -

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I thought we told you guys to beat it.

Out of my way. No more Diddy boat.

Damn catfish nipping at my heels all the way -
Endangered, my ass.

- There's a billion of them out there.
- Ugh. What the hell happened?

That was a hell of a swim.

Charlie, where's the boat?
What happened to the boat?

It's right there.

This was a terrible investment. Whew!
