 * Craig: So Fiona Gallagher.
 * Fiona: Craig Heisner.
 * Craig: You look good.
 * Fiona: You too.
 * Craig: So, what've you been up to since graduation?
 * Fiona: I never graduated. My mom split myjunior year. So I had to quit school, take care of the family.
 * Craig: Well, that sucks.
 * Fiona: It is what it is. What'd you do after graduation?
 * Craig: Went into business with my dad. Concrete.

 * Fiona: Oh, shit, sorry.
 * Craig: It's cool.
 * Fiona: Still together?
 * Craig: We had a few breakups, but we've been together since we were 15. What about you?
 * Fiona: We haven't been together since we were 15.
 * Craig: There's nothing we can do about that now, can we?
 * Fiona: No. You had to go mess everything up by getting married.
 * Craig: We would've been good together too.
 * Fiona: Probably, yeah. Would've been great.
 * Craig: Guess we'll never find out now.
 * Fiona: Guess not.


 * Chicago El man: My wife says it's bad luck to put your purse on the floor.
 * Fiona: What?
 * Chicago El man: Like throwing money out the window. You should pick it up.
 * Fiona: Oh. Okay. Thanks.

 * Fiona: Shut up and eat your spaghetti taco.
 * Veronica: You think it's real? And if so, can I have it?
 * Lip: It is. The LV's are two inches apart, seams are even, stitching's yellow. And the leather has turned dark brown from oxidation. I read a lot.
 * Fiona: Debs, have more salad. It's all you can eat.
 * Debbie: In parts of India, they leave dead bodies on the street to be eaten by vultures.
 * Ethel: I can't wait to die.
 * Debbie: Why?
 * Ethel: To be closer to God. If it weren't a sin, I'd kill myself so it could happen sooner.
 * Debbie: Oh.
 * Lip: Hey, Fi, you know what you should do?
 * Fiona: Ride the L more often?
 * Lip: Here. Found her home number. [Calls phone] Tell her you found her purse. I bet she'll give you a reward. [Hands phone to Fiona]

 * Dottie: What the hell's that?
 * Frank: An engagement ring.
 * Dottie: It's a little small, don't you think?
 * Frank: They were out of big ones.
 * Dottie: Who's it for?

 * Frank: You're kinda growing on me.


 * [Frank walks into Sheila's house with Jody upturning the couch cushions]

 * Jody: Lost Karen's ring.
 * Frank: Oh, man, that sucks.
 * Jody: I used all my savings to buy it.
 * Frank: [Starts walking up stairs] When I lose something, I like to say a prayer. Something's lost and cannot be found. Please, St. Anthony, look around.
 * Jody: Okay, you seen Karen?
 * Frank: I don't have a prayer for that.


 * [Lip and Karen are making love in the top bunk in the boy's bedroom]

 * Fiona: Yeah, I thought...
 * Purse owner: Oh, please, like I don't know you took it!
 * Fiona: What?! No.
 * Purse owner: Come on, you stole my goddamn money! Admit it!

 * Lip: She has no cock. How am I blocking it?
 * Ian: Let her go, man.
 * Lip: What do you want? Huh? You wanna marry her? Be with her forever? I'm looking out for her. She's my best friend.
 * Ian: I'm your best friend. She's your fuck buddy.
 * Lip: You're my brother who should shut the fuck up.
 * Ian: Friends want what's best for each other.
 * Lip: This could be the best thing for Karen.
 * Ian: You know what's best for everyone?
 * Lip: The kid who wants to die for a country that thinks he's one of God's mistakes?
 * Ian: A shrink said I'm one of God's mistakes.
 * Lip: The girl has "whore" tattooed on her arm. She put my dick in her mouth.
 * Ian: What?
 * Lip: You need to shut the fuck up.
 * Ian: So what? You get her to dump the guy, stick around for when Carl gets his first woody, so she can work him too? [Lip roughly forces Ian aside and walks out the room]
 * Carl: I already had my first woody in history class, talking about how Marie Antoinette's head got chopped off.

Father's Day [2.05]

 * Jody: Karen, your dad is dead.
 * Karen: Nice try, but that doesn't turn me on anymore.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Frank: [To Lip] That's the Gallagher sperm. Ambitious, relentless-- everything we're not once we're born. Like heat-seeking, baby-making guided missiles. Won't be long before the whole country's nothing but Mexicans and Gallaghers. Son... it's time we had the talk.
 * Lip: Little late for that, huh?
 * Frank: Different talk. She gonna keep it?
 * Lip: Looks like it.
 * Frank: Big responsibility, being a parent.
 * Lip: Is that right?
 * Frank: That's what I'm trying to tell you. My philosophy. You got to let kids learn for themselves.
 * Lip: You mean, fend for themselves?
 * Frank: You give a man a fish, you've fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you've fed him for a lifetime. I raise fishermen. The best gift you can give is neglect. Neglect fosters self-reliance.

 * Ethel: Jonah and I are off to the playground.
 * Veronica: Anybody offers you candy, that's code for crack. Apple jacks, crunch 'n munch, hotcakes, jellybeans, fries, caviar, crackers, dip-- all crack. Say, "no, thank you."
 * Ethel: Got it. I'll go tell Malik.
 * Veronica: Malik?
 * Ethel: We're having a play date.
 * Veronica: Sounds more like a date date. I know what goes on in the playground besides hopscotch and middle-aged men jacking off. That kid's a player.
 * Ethel: He's the best player! He showed me an old basketball game on TV last night, and I learned so much. Did you know that Chinese people can grow to be seven feet tall?
 * Veronica: Last night? He skipped the game?
 * Malik: Hey, ready to bounce, E? Hey, Ms. V.
 * Veronica: You don't skip out on your team unless you're lying in a hospital bed with an iv drip and a bullet in your spine.
 * Malik: The game last night? We didn't have no game.
 * Veronica: Kev said there was a game.

 * Kevin: Moderation?
 * Bar patron 1: How much you talking about?
 * Frank: City life. Got to be 50k at least. A toast, to Eddie Jackson. Who had the foresight to take care of those he loved.
 * Kevin: I wouldn't celebrate just yet, Frank. You're not the only one interested in Eddie's life insurance. Police are asking a lot of questions. [Motions head to two police officers questioning patrons in the bar]
 * Frank: So?
 * Kevin: Eddie was weighed down with a cement block.
 * Frank: So?
 * Kevin: So, everyone here heard Eddie threaten to kill you.
 * Frank: Threaten me, not the other way around. Murder's not my bag. I don't have the constitution. Blood makes me queasy.
 * Bar patron 2: And I didn't plant that pipe bomb down at the mosque, but it was on my route, so the pigs got a warrant. Never would have found the videos otherwise. I served 18 goddamn months. If Curtis didn't want his wife filmed naked, he shouldn't have left the blinds open when he took her out of her wheelchair to change her diaper.
 * Bar patron 1: You got any skeletons, Frank?
 * Frank: None that come to mind.
 * Kevin: Identity theft.
 * Frank: Simple misunderstanding.
 * Kevin: Endangering the welfare of a child, human trafficking, drug running, medicaid fraud, disability fraud, mail fraud...
 * Bar patron 1: The longer they look, the more they'll find.

 * Debbie: What does Holly Herkimer have that I don't?
 * Fiona: Besides HPV?
 * Debbie: You get to dress up.
 * Fiona: It's going back, tomorrow.
 * Fiona: Put the top back, no more playing dress up. Hymen stays intact.

Can I Have a Mother [2.06]

 * Peg: [Holds up a jar] What's that? What's it look like?
 * Carl: A finger.
 * Peg: Yeah. [Holds up a gun] You can touch it, but never put your finger on the trigger unless you're gonna shoot someone. You like secrets? So do I. Hold out your hands. [Gives Carl the gun] Our little secret, all right?
 * Sheila: There are important decisions to be made. This money comes with responsibility Can you run downstairs and ask Jody for the paprika? Trusts, tax evasion, liquidity.
 * Frank: As soon as Eddie's claim is settled and that check comes, we have to--
 * Sheila: Frank.
 * Frank: What?
 * Sheila: I can't let you be in charge of Eddie's insurance money, sweetheart. You're an alcoholic.
 * Frank: I wasn't talking about me.
 * Sheila: Okay.
 * Frank: Did you think I meant me?
 * Sheila: No. We need a highly experienced professional.
 * Frank:Yeah, that's right. And for the record, many great men have been well-lubricated. Henry Ford, Scott Fitzgerald, David Hasselhoff... they all kept a bottle close.
 * Karen: Mom?
 * Frank: Beethoven's Fifth. Coincidence? I don't think so.
 * Frank: Beethoven's Fifth. Coincidence? I don't think so.

 * Kevin: Hey, listen, about the bathroom....
 * Veronica: Nothing happened in the bathroom.
 * Kevin: Well, whatever didn't happen, I'm sorry.
 * Veronica: What didn't happen in the bathroom, Steve, did not happen.
 * [Sheila tinkles her glass]
 * Sheila: Quiet, please.
 * Jody: Quiet, everyone.
 * Sheila: I'm sorry that I didn't make it all the way down the stairs today... but, baby steps.
 * Jody: That's right, Mom.
 * Man 1: Hear, hear.
 * Sheila: Oh, my Karen, my baby, all grown up. I so wish your father could have been here today. I wish he could have seen you, our sweet girl, all grown up. And I know he would be so proud of his grandbaby...no matter who the father was, except Frank. Heh. He hated Frank. Heh. But it couldn't be Frank, because there wasn't any penetration. Eddie didn't like being penetrated. He had a funny bump on the side of his penis...that we thought was cancer...but it turned out I was just being too rough on him, so....There's been some obstacles and some pitfalls...but she's made some wonderful, wonderful friends along the way. Like Lip and all the Gallaghers.
 * [Karen mouths to Lip] What the fuck are you doing?
 * Sheila: People I just used to only know as the ones in that house...where the cops always came.
 * Peggy: Jesus, is that bitch ever gonna shut up?
 * Man 2 & woman: Oh.
 * Sheila: And Frank's mother. We're just so honored that you're here, even though you weren't even invited. And not really honored, because you're a convicted felon. But you're out now, aren't you? Why did they let you out? Because you're a loud, mean, vicious bitch.
 * [Whole party guests murmur]
 * Karen: Okay, Mom, let's open presents.
 * Peggy: Why don't you do yourself and everyone else a favor and shut up?
 * Sheila: Have I offended you? In my home, where you're an interloper?
 * Peggy: No one wants to hear it, you fucking windbag.
 * Karen: Okay, Mom, let's go upstairs.
 * Sheila: She called me a Wacker Drive whore.
 * Fiona: Frank.
 * Frank: Let them work it out.
 * Sheila: And I don't know how an angel like that man...could have come out of your poisoned womb.
 * Peggy: Shut up, you batty bitch.
 * Sheila:You know what? You've got a demon mind and a devil's womb and heart. And your coochie smells of brimstone and sulfur!

 * Steve: Her father, a competitor, didn't appreciate our entry into a crowded market.
 * Fiona: Smuggling cars?
 * Steve: The product isn't important. He cut my friend's ear off.
 * Fiona: You were smuggling drugs?
 * Steve: So I chose to help his daughter enter the States.
 * Fiona: By marrying her?!
 * Steve: Dad's very old-fashioned. She was banging one of his top lieutenants, and he wanted her out.
 * Fiona: You married a drug lord's daughter to hang on to your ear?
 * Steve: Wasn't sure he was gonna stop at the ear.
 * Fiona: Who'd you tell her I was?
 * Steve: All I gotta do is wait until Immigration...

 * Adam: [Perusing menu] You gotta be kidding me.
 * Fiona: Cobb salad's $22.
 * Adam: [Gets up and starts to leave] Bye.
 * Fiona: You're leaving?!
 * Steve: What are we talking about?!
 * Adam: You should probably just shut the fuck up. Have a nice life, Fiona. [Walks away]
 * Fiona: Adam! Adam! [Gets up taking after Adam]
 * Steve: What? Shit. [Estefania speaks] No medication.
 * Fiona: [Comes up to Adam at a doorway] I'm sorry. It's complicated.
 * Adam: No, really, it's not. Look, I like you, but maybe we should've had some rules. One of my unspoken rules is you don't fuck somebody else on a date. I guess I thought that was just assumed.
 * Fiona: [Comes up to Adam at a doorway] I'm sorry. It's complicated.

 * Kermit: "Having a nice time in Kansas. Ethel."
 * Kevin: What does it mean?
 * Kermit: If I had to guess... she's having a nice time in Kansas. -
 * Tommy: Or she's being held at gunpoint... forced to write that.
 * Kevin: Like I'm not worried enough.
 * Tommy: Just saying, you should get these postcards DNA tested. See if there's other fingerprints.
 * Kermit: That's not gonna prove anything. You know how many people have touched this postcard?
 * Tommy: Then throw a blue light on it. Check if there's any blood or sweat. Or semen. That'll tell a lot.
 * Kermit: Could be right. Many foster kids become prostitutes.
 * Kevin: Jesus. Give me those. There's no semen on them and my kid's not a prostitute. Social Services is on it.
 * Tommy: Like they're on my sister's welfare checks that keep getting stolen?

 * Officer Rodriguez: And who might that be?
 * Frank: Peggy Gallagher.
 * Officer Rodriguez: You mean Body Bag? That's her prison nickname. She was released on medical furlough.
 * Frank: That's just the thing. She's not sick. She's faking it.
 * Officer Rodriguez: Are you her doctor?

 * Officer Rodriguez: A 78-year-old woman?
 * Frank: I'm trying to do my part to preserve the integrity of our penal system.

 * Karen: Thought you dropped out.
 * Lip: Uh, made a deal with Fiona. She'll blow her end, and I'll be back home chilling in a week.
 * Karen: I'm gonna give the baby up for adoption. Sometimes I wonder if getting high makes it easier for me to keep up with you or more difficult. I thought I was in love with Jody; I'm not. I thought it would be cool to have a baby and love it, but no, I suck at it. I thought about aborting it, but I'm this far along, and even though I don't want it, other people probably do. So I figure why not suck it up a few more months, vag it out and sell it?
 * Lip: "Vag it out"?
 * Karen: Well, the truth hurts, but it's still the truth.
 * Lip: Well, you know, if you are gonna let the baby live, maybe you should stop smoking weed.
 * Karen: Weren't Monica and Frank on acid the whole time you were in vitro?
 * Lip: Uh, shrooms, mostly.
 * Karen: Well, you want to go to some adoption agencies with me later? I need someone to play the dad, sign the paperwork. You could help me pick out a good buyer.
 * Lip: [Mr. Healey shows up] Oh! Mr. Healey, how goes it?
 * Karen: [Slides off window ledge] Later. [She leaves]
 * Mr. Healey: For goodness sake. [Takes cigarette out of Lip's mouth and soaks it in a sink] What the hell is this schedule you signed up for? Woodworking? Auto Repair? Welding?
 * Lip: Hey, I'm just trying to learn the skills that can make me a productive member of the working class, Mr. H. You as my guidance counselor should appreciate that.
 * Mr. Healey: You have any idea what it's like to be a guidance counselor in this shit hole? I get one National Merit Scholar every nine years. So there's not a chance that you're not going to live up to your goddamn potential.
 * Lip: Feeling very "O Captain! My Captain!" are we?
 * Mr. Healey: I had a teacher who took a special interest in me when I was about your age.
 * Lip: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. He use a condom or...?
 * Mr. Healey: It was a woman, smart-ass. And she showed me the way out, changed my life.
 * Lip: Yet you still ended up in this job?
 * Mr. Healey: I had 22 years in the Coast Guard before I got here. And I retired a lieutenant commander.
 * Lip: Wow.
 * Mr. Healey: So you're gonna take Physics, Probability and Statistics, Advanced Chemistry. And you're gonna take the ACT, and you're gonna get into either Yale or Harvard or MIT on a full academic ride. Give me your hand.
 * Lip: At what point in your career did you realize that your name, Dick, had become a euphemism for cock?
 * Mr. Healey: Watch your mouth. The ice you're standing on is cracking all around you, Phillip. And I won't stand around and watch you drown. [School bell rings] Get to class.

 * Debbie: Tell Fiona you're coaching, Jimmy?
 * Steve: Don't you tell her everything for me?
 * Debbie: Family first. Those of us with only one name find that easy to remember. Haven't told her about this, because I wasn't sure you were going to show up.
 * Steve: You know, I'm just trying to give back to the community, help some disadvantaged kids learn a great American sport.
 * Estefania: [In Portuguese] He's said he's coaching football but no one is using their feet.
 * Carl: Yo. When do we get to tackle?
 * Steve: Soon. Take a knee. All right, boys. Football is all about who wants it more. When you tackle, aim low, hit hard! Who thinks they're man enough to take me down? Huh?
 * Debbie: You don't have pads on.
 * Steve: We're just... we're doing a walk-through. Okay? [Carl tackles Steve to the ground] Clean hit. I like it. [All boys laugh]
 * Frank: Oh... [sighs] I wish I'd had a girl coach. I'd totally tap that.
 * Homeless man: Yeah. I love long hair.
 * Frank: No, no, no. The one with the little brunette pixieish cut. Like a 1963 brunette Mia Farrow. No titties, all ass. Just sit and spin her all night long. Heaven.

 * Father Pete: We just can't afford to keep him. State cutbacks. You'll receive $50 a clay for food and whatever else he needs... but let's just say I'm not going to be making any surprise visits. Heh, heh.
 * Sheila: Father, I've... I've done a terrible thing. I don't recognize myself anymore. When I look in the mirror, it's like another person is staring back at me... and I'm just- I'm lost.
 * Father Pete: Your purpose in life was to build a happy family, and you achieved that. And now, your husband's passed and your daughter's ready to fly the nest. But you're still needed. This is your purpose now.
