Dennis: I think we made every single one of our Paddy’s Dollars back, buddy.
Mac: You’re damn right. Thus creating the self-sustaining economy we’ve been looking for.
Dennis: That’s right.
Mac: How much fresh cash did we make?
Dennis: Fresh cash! Uh, well, zero. Zero if you’re talking about U.S. currency. People didn’t really seem interested in spending any of that.
Mac: That’s okay. So, uh, when they run out of the booze, they’ll come back in and they’ll have to buy more Paddy’s Dollars. Keepin’ it moving.
Dennis: Right. That is assuming, of course, that they will come back here and drink.
Mac: They will! They will because we’ll re-distribute these to the Shanties. Thus ensuring them coming back in, keeping the money moving.
Dennis: Well, no, but if we just re-distribute these, people will continue to drink for free.
Mac: Okay…
Dennis: How does this work, Mac?
Mac: The money keeps moving in a circle.
Dennis: But we don’t have any money. All we have is this. … How does this work, dude!?
Mac: I don’t know. I thought you knew.
Dennis: I thought you— WHAT? I thought you were on top of this!
Mac: You’re the one who came up with the plan!
Dennis: I— did I come up with this plan?
Mac: Last night, dude! With the D&B Power Club card and the—
Dennis: I blacked out. I blacked out that night.
Mac: Shit dude, I’ve been following your lead!
Dennis: Aw, Jesus… aw, shit. Okay, we—
Mac: We have no money and no inventory. There’s still something we can do. That’s still a business somehow.
Dennis: How does D&B’s do it? They’ve got a complicated system worked out and I cannot begin to understand it.
Mac: How does a self-sustaining economy work?
Dennis: I don’t understand how the U.S. economy works much less some sort of a self-sustaining one. I don’t understand how finances work.
