Dee's new boyfriend, Lil' Kev, is a local rap celebrity. He's also retarded, according to Dennis. Mac figures that if a retarded person can become a famous musician, what's stopping them from doing the same thing? He, Charlie, and Frank form their own band in hopes of becoming local celebrities, though creative differences could disarray the band's state of cohesion. Meanwhile, Dee tries to figure out her boyfriend's state of mind.

Episode Quotes
 
Charlie: (about Lil' Kev) You know, you never know, though. He could have like a little hand or like a little foot or something.
Dennis: Well, I doubt he'd wanna call attention to something like that by calling himself Lil' Kev.
Mac: That could be his thing. Biggie Smalls was fat...
Charlie: Yeah, he was big and small, you know? Like—like I guess his head was small but his body was big, so this guy could have like a little hand and a giant body.
 
Dennis: Is his name Kevin Gallagher?
Dee: Yes.
Dennis: Holy shit. No, that guy's retarded.
Dee: Well, you're retarded.
Dennis: No, Dee, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying he is an actual retarded person.
 
Dennis: You guys don't even play instruments.
Mac: OK, well, that doesn't matter, does it? Because it's all about rocking and looking cool and kicking ass.
 
Dennis: When are you seeing him next?
Dee: I'm picking him up in like an hour.
Dennis: You're picking him up.
Dee: He doesn't drive.
Dennis: Ooh, uh, that's funny 'cause people who aren't retarded usually drive. Retarded: one, normal: zero.
 
Mac: (stopping the band) Why are you not singing?
Charlie: Well, uh, it doesn't sound very good.
Mac: Well, then huff some glue
Charlie: Uh, I've been huffing glue, guys.
 
(Mac throws Charlie's chair to the ground)
Charlie: Stop, dude! What are you doing? That's my good chair.
Mac: That's your good chair?
Charlie: Yeah.
Mac: It's covered in bird shit.
Charlie: No, (laughs) that's toothpaste, man.
Mac: That's clearly bird shit
Charlie: No, it's not. It's toothpaste.
Mac: Do you even own a toothbrush?
 
Frank: Hey, where's your suit?
Mac: I'm not wearing the suit, Frank, because it's lame, and you look like a pussy.
Frank: That defeats the whole purpose. I mean, the idea is to trick the moms into letting the kids bop with us.
Mac: It's not the fifties anymore, Frank. The kids aren't bopping anymore. They're banging each other and doing meth before they hit grade school.
 
Mac: (in response to Frank's idea for a band name) No, we are not the Pecan Sandies, all right? We are Chemical Toilet because chicks want guys that wear tight pants and tattered clothing and spit blood, not guys dressed like waiters who name themselves after desserts.
 
Charlie: (singing) Nightman, sneaky and mean, / Spider inside my dreams, / I think I love you. / You make me wanna cry. / You make me wanna die. / I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, / I love you, Nightman. / Every night you come into my room / And pin me down with your strong arms. / You pin me down, and I try to fight you. / You come inside me and fill me up, / And I become the Nightman—
Mac: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Charlie! Hold on a second. I mean, the first half of that song was kinda cool, but what's with the second half?
Charlie: It's about the Nightman like, you know, like filling me up, and I become him. I become the spirit of the Nightman.
Mac: But it sounds like a song where a man breaks into your house and rapes you.
Charlie: What, dude? Where are you getting that from? All right, no. (singing) It's just two men sharing the night. / It might seem wrong, but it's just right. / It's just two men sharing each other. / It's just two men like lovin' brothers. / One on top, and one on bottom. / One inside, and one is out. / One is screaming, he's so happy. / The other's screaming a passionate shout. / It's the Nightman, / The feeling-so-wrong-and-right man, / The feeling-so-wrong-and-right man. / I can't fight you, man, when you come inside me / And pin me down with your strong hands, / And I become the Night... / The passionate, passionate Nightman.
 
Mac: All right, here's the song. (hands Dennis Charlie's lyric sheet)
Dennis: What the hell's this, a page from a coloring book?
Mac: It's a song that Charlie wrote. It's called "Nightman." Skip all the raping parts and get on stage.
 
Dennis: (about Lil' Kev) Look, the guy's not retarded, OK?
Dee: What?
Dennis: Yeah, I was just saying that to mess with you.
Dee: Why? Why would you do something like that?
Dennis: I thought it'd be funny.
Dee: It's not funny. It's not funny at all! This guy's perfect for me, and you've gone and you've blown it. You've ruined everything. You are a bad, bad person. (noticing his spandex outfit) Ew. (leaves)
Dennis: All right, ready, guys?
Mac: So, that guy's not retarded?
Dennis: Oh, no, he's totally retarded.
 
(Dennis barges into Charlie's apartment)
Dennis: Charlie, let's join forces.
Charlie: Hello, come right in!
Dennis: I will.
 
(Charlie and Dennis write a song to the keyboard's beat)
Charlie: Dayman!
Dennis: Dayman...
Charlie: Fighter of the Nightman / Champion of the...
Dennis: Sun.
Charlie: Sun! / You're a master of karate...
Dennis: And friendship ... for everyone!
 
Dee: I'm so glad we worked out. I'm sorry I was all wishy-washy before.
Lil' Kev: Yeah, girl. You was more mixed up than a milkshake, baby.
Dee: (laughs) I know. It's my brother's fault, though. You're not gonna believe this. He tried to convince me that you were retarded. (laughing) What?
Lil' Kev: (laughing) No, what?
Dee: I know.
Lil' Kev: That's bananas, girl.
Dee: You're not retarded, are you?
 
Lil' Kev: (rapping) Yo, let me tell y'all a story 'bout a girl I knew, / A broke-ass bitch with a gay-ass crew. / She said that I was cute. She said that I was funny. / But the honey couldn't stop lookin' at my money. / Busted old lady with a flat tiny ass. / Her body like a skeleton in science class. / Face beat up by the school of hard knocks. / Hair so fried it bleached my Clorox. / It's like she's skinny, fat in all the wrong places. / Mothers gotta cover their babies' faces. / When she walks by people think she's Godzilla. / Straight outta Compton? Nah, y'all, straight outta "Thriller." / Lookin' like a zombie, walkin' like a chicken. / Mouth full of shit that's why her breath be stinkin'. / Just one question, Dee, before you take your bow. / This gravy train's leaving, so who's retarded now?
