‘They want to extend the Northern line, but I think this is Morden adequate.’
‘How Mac Got Fat’
Season seven, episode ten
What happens?
Before filming the seventh season, Rob McElhenney, who plays Mac, deliberately gained 50 pounds of weight because he thought it would be funny. It was! His new look is only touched upon for most of season seven, until this episode where Mac visits a priest to ‘confess’ what happened.
Best quotes
Priest ‘In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, what is your confession?’
Mac ‘I’m fat.’
Mac ‘I’m just going to plough ahead, because I’m sensing some resistance. Dennis always tells me, “Never let someone’s resistance stop you from getting what you want.”’
Bar customer ‘Hey, this drink tastes like bleach.’
Charlie ‘Because I’m dipping them in bleach so I can clean them faster. I don’t have time to wash every single glass! I dip it in bleach, then it’s clean.’
