It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - 14x05 - The g*ng Texts


ANNOUNCER [over P.A.]: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Philadelphia Zoo.

- Just a reminder that...
- Damn it. Where is Frank?

I'm not missing this lion feeding.

Oh, lions are cool, man.

For sure.
But, you know, the best exhibit's

- the meerkats. You know?
- Meerkats!

- [chuckles]
- Hey, man, you know, they have those bubbles, you know, where you can pop your head up out of the ground

- and look around.
- Yeah, you're looking around.

It's like you are a meerkat.

No, I'm not waiting for Frank.
I'm-I'm just gonna go in.

- No.
- 'Cause I-I don't want to wait here for the guy.

I know. But I think we should...

I really feel like we need to stick together.

- Huh?
- Dee, will you calm down? She got lost at the zoo

- when we were seven. It's fine.
- I-I got trampled

- by wild animals at the zoo when I was seven.
- Sheep.

- At the petting zoo.
- Goats!

- It was.
- You don't have to worry about that. Okay, guys?

Because modern technology has figured this out for us.

We're all connected now.

That is why I started this group text chain.

You know? So we can stay in constant communication.

I'm just gonna hit up Frank real quick,

- and we'll find out what's up.
- [Dennis mutters]

Guys, this way, nobody is gonna get lost, because the texting keeps us all on the same page.

- Okay.
- Oh. Well, see, there you go.

- Frank's five minutes away.
- Great. - No, no, no.

No, everybody knows that "five min away" actually means minutes away, okay?

I'm not missing this live feeding, okay?

Dude, why the big deal about watching a-a lion eat a pile of dead meat?

Oh, no, no, no. Wrong. Alive.

Okay? Quite alive, I assure you.

- That's a thing? Zoos do that?
- That's a thing.

- _
- What's this?

- Dennis has a boner? He does?
- Yes.

- No, he doesn't.
- Well, g*dd*mn it, he did.

I did. It's gone now.

Uh, do we have to do this whole texting thing?

- I mean, Dee's already annoying.
- She's always been annoying, Charlie.

That's why we ditched her when she was seven.

- You... ditched me?
- Oh, shut up, Dee. Shut up!

God, don't make this all about you.

- I'm-I'm going in. I don't-I don't want to wait.
- Well, then I'm gonna

- go with you, 'cause I don't want to get ditched again.
- Fine. Whatever.

- Yeah, we'll catch up with you.
- Look, look, look.

And just text us when he gets here.

Who? Frank?

Yes, Frank.
Who else would we be talking about?

Oh, well, I just want to make sure

- we're all on the same page.
- DEE: Oh, my God.

Text us when Frank gets here!

Huh?!

- Frank. Text...
- Frank! What? Text us! Text us!

BOTH: Text us when Frank gets here!

I can't... I can't... You know what?

- I can't... Let me just... I'm-a...
- Text 'em now.

I'm gonna text y... Check your phone!

- I'm gonna text you!

- Yeah.

Well, that's the cinnamon in the churro.

- That'll make you thirsty.
- [groans] You know what?

I'm gonna... I'm gonna update the group.

- [grunts]
- Why are you texting that?

Oh, well, I just wanted to, uh, update the group on my status.

Yeah, but that's, like, a sexual thing, man.

That means you're thirsting for something, which means you're horny for it.

[laughing]

Dennis is funny with the texts, man.

Huh.

Aw, come on. Too late, Dee.

g*dd*mn it. Where is Frank?

I'm just... You know what?
I'm just gonna text him again, 'cause I don't know what the hell's going on.

Where you be?

[exhales] Huh.

What does that mean? He's...

- It's a dancing woman, a smiley face and a g*n.
- Oh.

I know what that means.

He's stuck behind a woman driver and he wants to sh**t himself.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

All right.
Well, I'm just gonna update everybody.

- "Late." [smacks lips]
- Yeah, but come on, man.

You keep sending updates with no new information.

No, no, I'm just keeping the whole group updated the way a meerkat might.

Yeah, but a meerkat's efficient in how it updates.

You know what I mean?
Like, one little chirp, it can warn a whole group of, like, an eagle or whatever.

It doesn't need to, like, chirp over and over and over again, you know?

I-I'm sorry, a-are you schooling me on meerkat knowledge?

- Seems like I have to.
- Oh, oh, is that right?

Well, first of all, smarty-pants, they don't chirp. They chirrup.

Oh, yeah? You think you know a ton about the meerkat?

Well, did you know that the alpha pair will scent-mark the subordinate to show that it's the leader?

If they find the weak one, they start pissing all over it.

Yes. Of course I know that, Charlie.

We watched the same documentary.

By the way, I'm not the one that passed out halfway through and scent-marked all over himself.

- I drank a case of beer, man.
- So did I.

- I also drank a case of beer, and I didn't piss myself.
- [mutters]

All I'm saying is you don't have to text, like,

- every three seconds, you know?
- [sighs]

Aw, g*dd*mn it.
Where is Frank? I just...

- You're gonna text it again?
- Yeah, I'm gonna...

- I just got to make sure everybody knows.
- It just means that you're... you want... you're horny. Oh. [laughs]

Ah, Dennis g... Dennis nailed it.

- What-what does that mean?
- A peach is a butt.

You're horny for a butt. [laughs]

- I'm-I'm horny for a butt?
- 'Cause you're gay. - FRANK: Hey-o!

- Sorry I'm late. I had...
- Oh.

...had to get a bag of bananas so I could taunt the gorilla.

It took you two hours to get bananas?

Yeah, well, I was stuck behind that woman driver.

I thought I texted you that.

Yeah, we got that.

- Let's just go inside.
- I...

Aw, c... Too late, Dee. Come on.

- She sucks.
- Pick up the pace with it,

- you know?
- She sucks.

- I texted a peach.
- I already did that, Dee.

Oh, yeah. There it is.

You know, speed's very important in comedy texting, Dee.

If it looks like you thought about it for a while, it's pretty lame.

- Yeah. I know.
- Yeah.

Ooh, you know what I'll do?
I'll do a fist. Right?

So it's like he's thirsty for a fist in the butt. [snickering]

I don't think anybody's gonna get that.

You know? Plus, the moment is long gone. I mean...

- [snorts, laughs]

No, that... I was wrong.
That was funny. I...

No, I will not adjust my gait to accommodate your weird insecurities about sheep.

It was a goat, and it was a lunatic.

- Its eyes were going in every direction.
- Oh, were they? Fascinating.
