Quotes:

Dee Reynolds: I haven't seen you for a month, and I'm standing here in a neck brace. Are you gonna ask me how I'm doing... or what happened... or...
Mrs. Reynolds: I assume you did something stupid.
Dee Reynolds: Dennis ran me over with his car!
Mrs. Reynolds: There you go again! Don't you think it's about time you start taking responsibility for your actions?
Dee Reynolds: I...
Mrs. Reynolds: [interrupting her] I want my possessions returned.
[Barbara feeds her dog some food from a plate]
Dee Reynolds: I was eating that, mother!
Mrs. Reynolds: I've been running around. I haven't had time to feed the dog. Could you stop thinking about yourself for once? And besides, you don't need it, sweetie.

Yet another outstanding episode

In yet another terrific episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" Paddy's Pub is threatened when an Israeli man buys half the land under the bar, thereby threatening Paddy's with eviction. When the gang discovers they have no legal resources they turn to creative means such making a faux terrorist tape in hopes of driving him out. When Frank finds out that this man is his wife's new beaux he joins the fight as well.

Wow, this episode was absolutely hilarious. The terrorist tape is the funniest part, but many other laughs are generated. This show is one of the best things to ever appear on TV, which worries me greatly. This is every thing I love; it's offensive and intelligent at the same time in order to generate laughs. I'm sure that's a sign that this show is doomed to be canceled before it's time, so I hope to enjoy this as long as I can.
