Are You There Shim Its Me Ian [9.1]

 * Huntington: Got you! I've got you!
 * Carl: You don't have him, Huntington.
 * Huntington: I just need a better grip, sir!
 * Carl: Are you trying to screw me out of becoming cadet lieutenant next year, maggot?
 * Huntington: No, sir.
 * Carl: Well, it sure as shit looks like it. Drop that cadet, pissant. Jesus. Not literally.
 * Huntington: Sorry, sir. Sorry, Raul.
 * Carl: I have my year-end review with the general this afternoon. Do you know what that might be about, puke-head?
 * Huntington: No, sir. Y-yes, sir. Uh, me, sir?
 * Carl: I've had the entire school year to get you plebes into fighting shape, and yet one big, fat turd who can't keep up.
 * Huntington: I'll do better, sir!
 * Carl: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and you are my weakest link! Get out of my face! Cadets... and Dave... dismissed! Corporal Gallagher is on the move!


 * [Ian and Fiona are talking via visitation phones at the prison]
 * Fiona: I'm close to getting the bail money. The court just did an appraisal on my building.
 * Ian: How soon?
 * Fiona: Tomorrow, maybe.
 * Ian: I- I need a few more days. There's oppression everywhere in here.
 * Fiona: W- what are you talking about? I'm busting my ass to get you out of this shit hole.
 * Ian: My work here is not done. I-I'm saving the submissives from their sexual oppressors.
 * Fiona: And I'm getting you a $50,000 gift of freedom.
 * Ian: Look, I organized a strike against the gangbangers who terrorize the gay and trans inmates. They take out their feelings of... inadequacy and repressed homosexuality on us queers, and they practice really bad sexual hygiene.
 * Fiona: A- are they giving you your meds in there?
 * Ian: I-I'm protecting defenseless lambs from having their emotional and physical spirits slaughtered, Fiona.


 * [Joselito and his gang walks up to Ian sitting with his posse at a table]
 * Joselito: Last night, I fucked my sink. My balls are so blue.
 * Inmates: Yeah, that's right.
 * Ian: Then shall we talk, try to agree on the proper ways to manage our relationships with those we love and care for?
 * Joselito: Sure. Whatever the fuck you say, as long as I get my ass eaten out.
 * Ian: All right. Let's break bread and drink wine together.


 * Anne: Good afternoon. Thank you all for coming in on such short notice. Earlier today, I was contacted by the county health department.
 * Woman 1: Lice again?
 * Anne: I wish.
 * Man 1: Then what? I got an open house in 30 minutes.
 * Anne: There's an epidemic at our school.
 * Woman 2: Measles?
 * Man 2: It's because of those anti-vaxxer French kids you let in, isn't it?
 * Anne: It's not the measles. We're talking about a very... delicate issue: a sexual epidemic.
 * Woman 3: In elementary school?
 * Frank: That's the French.
 * 'Woman 4: My kid's nine.
 * Woman 5: And she's a giant slut.
 * Man 3: Honey, stop.
 * Woman 5: I'm serious. You should see what her daughter wears out of the house.
 * 'Woman 4: It's called style.
 * 'Man 4: Maybe your son should take a few pointers.
 * Anne: Please, enough. I'm not talking about the children, for God sakes. I'm talking about you people. The epidemic has been traced to this PTA.
 * Man 4: What?
 * Anne: I'll turn this over to Dr. Jonathan Rosenbaum from the county health board to further explain.
 * Jonathan: Ah, thank you. Um, as mentioned, uh, this is a sensitive issue, but one that we do not take lightly. Over the past few weeks, four people have tested positive for virulent strains of multiple STDs. The only thing these people have in common was this PTA group. In all my time at the county health department, I- I've never seen symptoms of all three venereal diseases... chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis... in four people at once.
 * Man 2: Who the hell are the four?
 * Woman 1: Not me.
 * Woman 3: [Coughs] Bullshit.
 * Jonathan: Uh, I can't reveal that information, but swift action must be taken so we can learn who these individuals came in contact with so we can contain the epidemic.
 * Man 5: You're saying these four people may have given it to the rest of us?
 * Jonathan: Yes.
 * Woman 2: But that could only happen from sex.
 * Jonathan: You... you don't get an STD from a toilet seat.
 * Man 6: This is absurd. If you excuse me, I have a root canal to perform.
 * Jonathan: Sir, you're gonna stay and be tested.
 * Man 5: Can't keep us here against our will.
 * Jonathan: Actually, I can. The Illinois Sexual Transmissible Disease Control Act states that we can order the testing and the isolation of an individual to stop the spread of an STD until such time that the danger to the public health is eliminated. That's the law.
 * Parents: What?! Are you kidding me?!
 * Jonathan: Folks!
 * Parents: What is going on here?!
 * Jonathan: As soon as everyone is tested, we can determine who can leave and who will need intravenous antibiotics. Thank you.
 * Man 3: Whoever you four fuckers are that are infected, I just got a foot-long Q-tip just shoved up my dick.
 * Jonathan: I understand your anger and your frustration, and we appreciate your cooperation. At this time, everyone has been tested. Thank you. Uh, Donald and Eliza Watts, Paula Dowd, Leah and John Alperin, Tod Carney, Kate and Lina Thomas. You're all free to go.
 * Man 7: Yes!
 * Parent: Fuck.
 * Woman 3: What about the rest of us?
 * Jonathan: You all tested positive.
 * Man 2 and Woman 3: No, that's impossible. I'm calling my lawyer. That's ridiculous.
 * Jonathan: Look, folks, we have to trace this communicable web to see if anybody is infected that is not in this room. Look, I can't force you to reveal your sexual partners, but any information you give us could very well save lives.
 * Man 2: I slept with I- Irene Bragg.
 * Woman 2: [Slaps him] Asshole!
 * Man 2: Fucking whore.
 * Jonathan: Ed.
 * Man 2: [Points to woman] Charlize Stewart.
 * Charlize's husband: What?
 * Parents: I slept with my tennis pro... I slept with our nanny.... I had sex with my gynecologist... [Frank looks pleased]
 * Jonathan: Beverly.
 * Beverly: My gardener, Pablo. I, uh... I don't know his last name. Uh, Kurt Alvarez. Our pool guy. And, uh... [Gestures to Frank] Frank.
 * Woman 3: I slept with Frank. [Raises hand]
 * Woman 1: So did I.
 * Woman 2: Me too.
 * Charlize: Yep. Frank.
 * Women: I slept with Frank... I slept with Frank.... Frank. [All women raise their hands]
 * Jonathan: Thank you all for staying. You're all to be commended. Um, at this point, you've all received your first IV dose of amoxicillin. In four hours, you'll receive another dose, followed by your final dose, four hours after that, until you are no longer a public health risk. Have fun.
 * Man 2: How are we supposed to relax in this place when we are trapped like rats?
 * Woman 3: If you hadn't spread your legs for half these guys, we wouldn't be here.
 * Man 2: Don't blame this on me. You screwed just as many people as I did.
 * Woman 3: I don't understand why we can't leave.
 * Woman 2: It's not like we're gonna have sex and infect the rest of the world.
 * Man 6: You're definitely not gonna have sex. I mean, you don't want to have sex more than quarterly.
 * Woman 2: I have post-partum!
 * Man 6: For three years?
 * Frank: Uh, in my experience, she's got quite an active libido, but hey, let's not fight. We gotta make the best of this situation.
 * Charlize's husband: The best of this situation? You fucked all of our wives, Gallagher. Probably the reason for this whole damn thing.
 * Beverly's husband: Yeah. Yeah, let's kill him. Yeah.
 * Frank: Oh, will you... Would you calm down?! Stop. Careful. Stop it. Look at the bright side! We're getting free medical care. Free medical care!
 * Beverly's husband: You destroyed my marriage.
 * Frank: I did you a favor! My penis might have actually helped you to heal. Did you ever think of that?
 * Beverly's husband: The hell are you talking about?
 * Frank: Your bodies are developing immunity to a horrible disease thanks to me!
 * Woman 1: Three horrible diseases.
 * Frank: The fact that you're all cheating is a lot more serious than a couple of silly sexually transmitted diseases. I think you should use this time to reexamine your relationships.
 * Charlize: There's nothing wrong with our relationships.
 * Frank: Is that what you think, Charlize? Because you told me you feel sexually invisible in front of Wells.
 * Charlize's husband: What? That's bullshit!
 * Frank: She said you don't find her attractive since she had your child. You saw the baby come out of that thing, and it grossed you out. You gotta get over it, man.
 * Man 2: Who the hell are you, to tell us what to do?
 * Frank: I'm the guy who supplied your wives a service. That's who. You men have been neglecting them. Been off screwing other women because it's more exciting, but you have not put the time into your marriages, so I've had to do the work. Thank God I'm great at sex. It's probably 'cause I've had a lot of practice. A lotta practice. Lotta, lotta, lotta practice.
 * Len: I'm gonna kill him.
 * Frank: What is your problem, man?! Will you...
 * Len: Come on, kill the bastard! [Walks over to Frank knocking him down and attempting to throttle him]
 * Darren: [Runs over and attempts to separate them] Get off! Come on! Look! Look, Frank might have a point.
 * Len: He does?
 * Frank: Yeah! Listen to Darren.
 * Darren: The truth is, Sasha, I've been working too much, and I haven't... haven't been a very good husband, or a very good father, and maybe we could just, you know, go somewhere and... and talk about it.
 * Sasha: Fine.
 * Darren: Yeah?
 * Frank: Did you see that, people? The flame of love, relit right in front of your eyes. Does anyone else want to talk, try to come up with a solution?
 * Irene's husband: I don't. Irene can rot in hell, for all I care.
 * Irene: You'll be right there next to me.
 * Frank: Well, maybe some people need a little longer to process.
 * Beverly': Len, we haven't had sex in ages.
 * Len: Honey, let's not air out our laundry here.
 * Frank: Len, please, let her... let her continue.
 * Beverly: You denied having sex with every woman in here, yet you tested positive. That doesn't make sense to me, Len. They must have made a mistake.
 * Richard: Tell them about us, Len.
 * Len: Okay. Fuck it. It's true. Richard and I are having an affair. [Richard and Len walks toward each other and embrace in passionate kissing]
 * Frank: Well, I didn't see that coming. You see, folks? Love is love is love.
 * Richard: Tell them about us, Len.
 * Len: Okay. Fuck it. It's true. Richard and I are having an affair. [Richard and Len walks toward each other and embrace in passionate kissing]
 * Frank: Well, I didn't see that coming. You see, folks? Love is love is love.


 * Tami: Oh, thank God. I would never hear the end of it from Cami.
 * Lip: The maid of honor?
 * Tami: Yep. Her sister, Tami.
 * Lip: Cami and Tami, huh?
 * Tami: Yeah, well, our parents, Pami and Sami, weren't very creative. I'm fucking with you. They're Bob and Kim. Are you the best man?
 * Lip: Yeah, I'm Lip.
 * Tami: What's up with your hair? Are you, like, in the Marines or some shit?
 * Lip: I was freebasing. My head caught on fire. I'm fucking with you. No, I, uh, fell asleep with gum in my mouth.
 * Tami: That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard.
 * Lip: Oh, says the lady with the bouffant and the princess headband.
 * Tami: I spent hours on this.
 * Lip: Well, you can't get that time back, can you?


 * Fiona: I always fantasized about having enough money to stock up on toilet paper.
 * Ford: Lofty goals.
 * Fiona: Hey, when I was a kid, we had to use whatever we could find. Christmas napkins, paperbacks, coffee filters.
 * Ford: You don't answer it?
 * Fiona: No. Got boxes to unpack. I've got a bathroom to clean. I clean it every week.
 * Ford: It's not that dirty, is it? Ever look behind the toilet?
 * Fiona: No, and I never plan on doing so.
 * Ford: Uh-huh.

Mo White For President [9.02]

 * Frank: Good morning, my day-drinking brethren. How's everyone this morning?
 * Kermit: We were good.
 * Tommy: You smell like actual shit, Frank.
 * Frank: Uh, rye whiskey, V. Leave the bottle.
 * Veronica: Can't pay with cans, Frank.
 * Frank: Why not? There's gotta be 20 bucks in there.
 * Veronica: And that's our recycling. I just put those out.
 * Frank: Right, and now I'm recycling them.
 * Veronica: No.
 * Frank: Uh, run a tab? For old times' sake?
 * Veronica: [Cackles derisively] Oh, damn, I just peed myself a little.
 * Frank: Guys, can you spot me?
 * Tommy: We fucking hate you, Frank.
 * Frank: V. Can I have the keg tray? At least let me drink that.
 * Veronica: You wanna slurp warm, day-old beer runoff from a keg tray?
 * Tommy: Wow, lowering the bar, Frank. Disgusting, Frank.
 * Frank: Every day. When options are few, the wise man adapts.
 * Veronica: Fine. One pity beer. One. [Draws him a pint]
 * Hughie: You tight on cash, huh, Frank?
 * Frank: Tighter than a Mormon virgin.
 * Hughie: I know how you can make some quick dough, if you're interested.
 * Frank: I don't do blowies anymore, Hughie.
 * Hughie: This lady's paying five bucks for every "Ruiz for Congress" sign you steal from a yard. You bring the signs over to the alley behind Wyman's headquarters, she gives you cash.
 * Frank: For stolen signs? What's the catch?
 * Hughie: Just get paid to steal.
 * Frank: All right, thanks.


 * Lip: What's with the uniform, G.I. Joe? I thought you were off for the summer.
 * Liam: Yeah, aren't you supposed to be "at rest"?
 * Carl: At ease. And there is no ease for a soldier who's West Point bound. Debs, can you pass me the milk? Debs.
 * Debbie: [Reading newspaper] Eighty cents. That's how much women make on the dollar compared to men. And if you're a woman of color, 65 cents. This is a sexist shit nugget of a country. Don't you forget that.
 * Kevin: Oh, Debs! Thank God you're not working. Hey, I need a favor. I gotta take V to this nursery school tour. Can you watch the girls for like an hour? They can't come. Thanks.
 * Debbie: Why are you speaking to me?
 * Kevin: 'Cause you're Debbie.
 * Debbie: No. Why are you speaking to the only woman in the room, Kevin Ball? Why is childcare a woman's job? Let me tell you why. Did you know that the average American man works about 17.5 hours a week doing unpaid home labor? Cooking, cleaning. While women, however, spend about 28.4 hours a week. Now, considering the fact that the average American makes $26.82 an hour, that's $40,000 a year that women are not getting paid to cook, clean, and wipe baby asses.
 * Kevin: So you can't do it?
 * Debbie: [Scoffs] Come on, Franny, let's oppose patriarchal oppression.


 * Anne: Are you familiar with the saying; "sins of the father?
 * Liam: Think I've heard it at home.
 * Anne: Your father made a lot of Hopkins parents very... unhappy, and where there's unhappiness, there's often anger and retribution. The Committee for Diversity and Advancement who fund your scholarship, they have made some demands and, well, we've loved having you here, son.
 * Liam: Why are you speaking in past tense?
 * Anne: We see this as an opportunity for you. With the step up that we have given you, you can soar now, little bird.
 * Liam: I'm getting kicked out?
 * Anne: [In dejected tone] Yeah.


 * Ubberman secretary: Are you lost, honey?
 * Carl: Cadet Lieutenant Carl Gallagher. I'm here to see Congressman Ubberman, ma'am.
 * Ubberman secretary: Why?
 * Carl: I seek the honor of his recommendation for West Point.
 * Ubberman secretary: Are you a constituent?
 * Carl: Ma'am?
 * Ubberman secretary: You live around here? [Carl nods] Okay, sweetheart, I'll tell you how this works. First, you set up an appointment, and the first avail we have is in nine weeks. And you come back with your transcripts and your vitae--
 * Carl: My what?
 * Ubberman secretary: Your athletic and your academic achievements. You know, publications, awards, and your exceptional record of your volunteer work in this community.
 * Carl: Volunteer work? You have to work for free to get into West Point? Thought you just had to wanna kill some towel heads. The 100 hours of community service I did after juvie count? Court-ordered?
 * Ubberman secretary: No. Here is a list of our accredited volunteer organizations. Maybe start there.
 * Carl: Any of them pay?


 * Ian: When we speak of marriage, what do we speak of? Well, you could turn to the Bible, see what they have to say. We could try Ephesians 5:25. "For a man shall love his wife the way Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her." But that's not very applicable to us, is it? Well, when I see these beautiful couples standing before me today, living under the terms of our newly-negotiated deal, one of mutual consent and reduced aggression, I see a true union, a union that defies categorization. So, Bob and Hobart, Sameer and EJ, Gary and Turkish, do you come to this courtyard today purely to exchange vows?
 * Marrying inmates: I do.
 * Ian: Let's start with you, Bob and Hobart.
 * Prison guard: Gallagher. You made bail.
 * Ian: What?
 * Prison guard: You're out of here.
 * Ian: No, there's been a mistake, all right? I'm in the middle of vows. My work here is not done. I am not leaving. [Ian stars getting manhandled away by guards]
 * Prison guard: Move it, come on, come on.
 * Ian: No.
 * Inmates: [Get in a shoving matches with the guards] Don't touch Father Gallagher! We protect him. Let him finish!
 * Ian: I don't wanna go!
 * Hobart: So wait, are they married or not?! Say they're married, Gallagher!
 * Ian: By the power vested in me and the great state of Illinois...! [Gate slams]


 * Gayle: Mandarin Immersion today. So what do you think?
 * Kevin: This is where I wanna go when I die.
 * Gayle: Here is our applications packet with beaucoup info about Beaucoup.
 * Kevin: What's this, uh, number here? Is that a year in the future?
 * Gayle: No, that's our tuition.
 * Veronica: For a year?
 * Gayle: For the month.
 * Kevin: For a month?!
 * Veronica: Uh, that's three times our mortgage.
 * Gayle: Oh, dear. Yes, these numbers can seem a little bit high, but it's pretty standard in Chicago.
 * Veronica: Are there scholarships?
 * Gayle: Not at Beaucoup. Why don't I recommend you somewhere that's a little more budget-friendly. Okay?


 * [Lip and Brad are at an AA meeting]
 * Brad: Wanna hit Patsy's for pie before work?
 * Lip: It's kind of early for pie, no?
 * Brad: It's never too early. Besides, they have breakfast pie. It's called "apple." [Scoffs]
 * Lip: Hey, uh, thanks for your share, man.
 * Jason: Was it okay? I- I mean, it's weird telling everybody your shit.
 * Lip: Yeah, no, you did good. Just, uh, keep coming back.
 * Jason: Hey, actually, can I ask you something?
 * Lip: Uh, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
 * Jason: I don't know how this is supposed to go. I- Feels like I'm asking you out on a date or something. I need a sponsor. Wondering if you-- you'd be up to sponsoring me.
 * Lip: Me? No, man, I'm- I'm the last guy you'd want to sponsor you. But, uh, you know, maybe ask Marshall.
 * Jason: The guy with the walker?
 * Lip: Yeah.
 * Jason: [Snickers] I need somebody born after 1990. I mean, these people are all fucking dinosaurs. [To Brad] No offense.
 * Brad: None taken, shithead.
 * Jason: [To Lip] I feel like I could talk to you.
 * Lip: Yeah, let me think about it, all right?


 * Charmaine: So Congressman Ubberman's office sent you over? Where's that form? Oh. [Chuckles] Couple of routine questions. Why do you wanna be a mentor?
 * Carl: I don't.
 * Charmaine: Then, why are you here?
 * Carl: I have to volunteer somewhere.
 * Charmaine: What academic subjects could you tutor your mentee in?
 * Carl: None.
 * Charmaine: Special skills?
 * Carl: Steady hand with a knife, ma'am. Like to cut things and watch 'em bleed.
 * Charmaine: I think I might know a place for you, and... [Chuckles] I guarantee you they are in desperate need of volunteers. Here. [Hands business card]
 * Carl: Soothing Horizon? Sounds like a nail salon.
 * Charmaine: It's not.


 * Debbie: My name is Debbie Gallagher and I am a welder with a vagina, and I am here to stand up to patriarchy! I am looking for any and all female employees...!
 * Construction man: Show us your pussy!
 * Debbie: To stand up with me, and say no! We need to stick together, ladies.
 * Construction man: Sup, double Ds?
 * Debbie: We will not be silent! Ow, you fucking dickhead. You almost hit my kid. 'Ey, 'ey, 'ey, yo, lady, you gotta go.
 * Construction man: You distracting my men.
 * Debbie: They're a bunch of pig fucks.
 * Construction man: We see boobs!
 * Debbie: I am not leaving until I get to speak to one of your female employees.
 * Construction man: There aren't any!
 * Debbie: You don't have one female employee?!
 * Construction man: No! So get your smelly cunt out of here!


 * Ralph: Can I help you?
 * Carl: Yeah, heard you guys might be in need of some volunteers.
 * Ralph: You wanna volunteer? Here?
 * Carl: Yes, sir. I'm in need of some documented community service. Trying to get into West Point.
 * Ralph: Well, great. Military boy, huh?
 * Carl: Yeah, strong stomach.
 * Ralph: Perfect. How much can you bench, son? 'Cause these sons of bitches can get heavy.
 * Carl: Uh, what is it exactly you guys are doing here?
 * Ralph: Well, come on back, I'll show you. [Shows Carl a hose leading from the exhaust pipe of an idling vehicle to a window with two dogs in a room] Got a, uh, 15-year-old Rottweiler in there and a pair of 16-year-old Mastiffs. Should be done in a second.
 * Carl: Done?
 * Ralph: Yeah. Only takes three or four minutes, if you get the, uh, hose on the tailpipe right.
 * Carl: You're killing dogs?
 * Ralph: Yeah. That's the service we offer the community, son. Euthanasia for elderly, and, uh, terminally ill dogs. I'm a retired vet. Had my own practice for, uh, 38 years. And I got sick of seeing these poor people around here shooting their own dogs in the street when they got old, toss 'em in dumpsters and drop 'em off the bridge with a--with a cinderblock tied to their paw. And all because they couldn't afford the $150 to put 'em down at the vet's. Well, now they can call Soothing Horizon. We pick 'em up, bring 'em here, and let 'em go peaceful.
 * Carl: In a gas chamber?
 * Ralph: Yep. Uh... Banjo and Lucky are dead. [Dog whimpers and thumps] Skippy too. Come on, grab a leg.


 * Frank: Let me ask you fine gentlemen, which of these congressional candidates look like you?
 * Tommy: That's a gay Latino man and a semi-hot black woman, Frank.
 * Frank: Exactly. American men used to control everything. Look at a history book. We used to be the leading men. Now, we're marginalized. I attended a congressional debate this afternoon, and you know what I experienced? Reverse racism. It's all diverse gays and vaginas now. The tide is changing, gentlemen, and it's changing too damn fast, am I right? [Bar patrons chatter]
 * Frank: Give me a beer. I'll tell you something else. They're trying to take the Old Blue Brewery away from us. They wanna convert it into an LTGB-E-I-E-I-O, or a--a goddamn African Art gallery?
 * Tommy: So?
 * Frank: We need a candidate of our own, boys. A bright, shining beacon of hope. We need someone who will promote and protect our values. Someone who'll make sure our culture doesn't disappear. Someone who sat on a barstool and stared down the gun barrel that is the working class experience. But who?
 * Tommy: What about Mo White?
 * Kermit: He died.
 * Frank: He did? Are you sure? He did- somebody check. Did he die?
 * Bar patron: [Checking phone] Uh, says here he's alive, just retired.
 * Frank: Well, that's perfect. Mo White is a genius idea. He was a true American congressman. He loosened the liquor license rules so that the Irish would have some place to drink. He helped rebuild Comiskey. He put in bocce for our Italian brothers.
 * Bar patron: A- and- and horse-shoe pits.
 * Frank: That's right.
 * Tommy: Didn't he keep the Chris Columbus memorial from being torn down?
 * Frank: You bet your ass he did. Mo White is a friend of the South Side. We gotta find Mo White and write White in. [Frank] We need seed money for his campaign. [Grabs peanut bowl and holds up dollar bill] Ten bucks. I'll go first. Give me that. Ten bucks. Everybody, ten bucks. What do you say? Come on, yeah. The fundraising starts right now. The campaign pot is coming around. Hey, let's make Chicago white again.
 * Bar patrons: Yeah.
 * Frank: [Chuckles and starts chanting] Mo White... [All bar patrons join in chanting] Mo White...

Weirdo Gallagher Vortex [9.03]

 * Lip: Um... The fuck you doing?
 * Ian: Waiting.
 * Lip: Waiting for what?
 * Ian: Shim.
 * Frank: [Arrives with Mo White campaign signs] Good morning, my indigenous South Siders! Don't mind me. Just showing our support for a better tomorrow. [Starts planting a sign on the lawn]
 * Lip: Huh?
 * Ian: Hi.
 * Lip: W-what's a "shim"?
 * Ian: Shim. God. But God doesn't have a gender, or maybe it's both genders, so she, him--Shim. Mother-father God.
 * Lip: And you're waiting for Shim to...
 * Ian: Talk to me. Tell me what to do next.
 * Lip: Does that happen a lot?
 * Ian: Used to all the time in jail, but since I've been out, nothing.
 * Frank: That's because it never happened. Shim, a higher power, the great I Am, Great Spirit-- call it whatever you want-- but it ain't talking to you.
 * Lip: And we weren't talking to you.
 * Frank: Enlightenment, or whatever these new-fangled hippy-dippy religions are selling, is a waste of time. Gay Jesus, Taoism, Scientology, Christian Science, Joel Osteen, Deepak Chopra-- It's like going to one of those flaky schools where the students create their own curriculum, then don't get graded on it. Religion isn't a startup, Ian. You want God to talk to you, you gotta stick with the classics: Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity. And if you break the rules, you burn in hell for all eternity. And there's your enlightenment. In the meantime, I shall be saving the South Side from the endless caravan of immigrants. [Walks away]


 * Kevin: [Reading a newspaper] What the hell? They made a list of the rapiest bars in the South Side, and The Alibi's number one?
 * Craig: I haven't raped anybody in here.
 * Kevin: No one's ever raped anyone in here! At least not in the inside. Out in the alleyway, maybe. But I knew people thought The Alibi was shitty, but now they think we're rapey?
 * Veronica: Who says we're rapey?
 * Kevin: Some stupid article.
 * Veronica: Give it to me. Who wrote it? Bethany Pickford-Watson. Of course she has two last names.
 * Kevin: Does she look familiar to you?
 * Tommy: Oh, probably some lesbo.
 * Kermit: No. No.
 * Craig: I'd hit that for sure.
 * Veronica: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! "They even pay black prostitutes with fake boobs to walk around in short skirts." Imma kill that bitch.
 * Kevin: This is so unfair. I mean, look around. W-w-what's so rapey about this place, anyway?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sissy: Get your dumb-ass tote bag out of my space!
 * Liam: It's actually not a tote bag. It's a satchel.
 * Sissy: And who the hell starts a new school with three weeks left in the school year?
 * Liam: All the private schools were full.
 * Sissy: Fucking satchel boy.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Kevin: I have two daughters. What kind of father am I if I'm also the owner of the local rapery?
 * Kermit: V got to you, didn't she?
 * Veronica: The Alibi should be a sanctuary, a haven where women can come, relax, and only get laid if they want to.
 * Kermit: We could all use a place where we could get laid if we wanted to.
 * Tommy: In this day and age, you can't say shit to a woman without her crying harassment. Hell, they'd sue their own reflections if they could.
 * Kermit: I'm just not gonna talk to them anymore.
 * Veronica: No one talks to your ass anyway.
 * Kermit: Yeah, but if they did, I wouldn't say anything.
 * Veronica: Creepily glaring at them is not the answer.
 * Tommy: Hell, I probably catcalled nine or ten women yesterday.
 * Veronica: You think women like that?
 * Tommy: I'm in construction. I can't just change. Doesn't matter if time's up or not. If a chick walks by, I instinctively grab my balls, and yell Suck on this." It's just what happens.
 * Kevin: All right, let's start there. You can't call 'em chicks anymore.
 * Tommy: Tail?
 * Veronica: No.
 * Tommy: Wool?
 * Veronica: No.
 * Tommy: Women?
 * Kevin: Mm, I don't think so. Contains the word "men." I got it. [Snaps fingers] Vaginal enterprises.
 * Veronica: Okay, I'm out.
 * Kevin: Maybe we should just stick with "women."
 * Craig: Oh. Some... women...
 * Veronica: That's better.
 * Craig: [Laughs] Some women like to be told they're pretty.
 * Kevin: Mm-hmm.
 * Craig: Now, how are we supposed to know the difference between the ones that like it and the ones that don't?
 * Kermit: Old women like being hit on. Maybe we should just allow the old women in.
 * Kevin: Kermit!
 * Tommy: Why the hell would we want that?
 * Craig: We need a consistent standard.
 * Veronica: All right, here's your standard. Assume you are disgusting, that no one wants you to touch them, and they couldn't care less if you think they're pretty or not-- there's your damn standard.
 * Kermit; I've never been so confused.
 * Kevin: The bottom line is that the bar can't be rapey anymore. If women stay away, bad for business. Plus, rapey is wrong. A-and more importantly, rapey is wrong.

 * Mo White: Hello.
 * Frank: And what is your name, if you don't mind my asking?
 * Evelyn: Evelyn. Evelyn Thomas.
 * Frank: Well, Evelyn, the reason we're here is that Mo is a proud South Sider, just like yourself. He grew up two blocks from here, over on Halsted, in what is now a crack den.
 * Evelyn: Huh?
 * Frank: And the point being, Evelyn, it's time for us to take pride in the South Side, and that starts with good people like you.
 * Evelyn: Sir, I don't give a rat's ass about the South Side. I don't even have a damn job.
 * Frank: [Laughs] I don't either, which is why we need Mo White in office! Right, Mo?
 * Mo White: That's right.
 * Frank: Mo wants to bring the jobs back to the working people in the South Side, the people whose parents and grandparents built this city! Pride is what made the South Side safe and strong, and that all starts with one thing, which is what?
 * Evelyn: A job.
 * Frank: A job. Bingo. Would you mind if we put a sign on your yard to show your support for Mo?
 * Evelyn: Yeah, I guess that'd be okay. Sure.
 * Frank: That's the South Side pride I'm talking about.
 * Evelyn: All right. South Side pride.
 * Frank: You bet.
 * Evelyn: I like that. Yeah, okay. Okay.
 * Frank: Oh, sorry. $10, please.
 * Evelyn: What?
 * Frank: Uh, any contribution is gratefully welcome. Uh, we suggest 10. Uh, some people are doing $20.

 * Ian: Look, I've never been to a Buddhist temple before. I need Shim to talk to me. Uh, God. To talk to me. Any tips?
 * Buddhist monk: Repeat. I'm here to learn.
 * Ian: "I'm here to learn."
 * Buddhist monk: I take refuge in the Buddha.
 * Ian: "I take refuge in the Buddha."
 * Buddhist monk: Until I attain enlightenment.
 * Ian: "Until I attain enlightenment." Quick question. Once I attain enlightenment, then will Shim talk to me? 'Cause they did for a while. But then, suddenly, it stopped. So did Shim stop talking to me, or did I stop hearing Shim?
 * Ian: Okay, uh, rough estimate, how long does it normally take?
 * Buddhist monk: For Buddha, it took one night.
 * Ian: Well, that's not that bad.
 * Buddhist monk: After ages and lives of meditation.

 * Carl: Yeah.
 * Veronica: [Laughs] I'll be damned! Hey, babe, did you know that Wubby's a congressman?
 * Carl: Seriously?
 * Veronica: When I was a dominatrix, he was one of my regulars. Dude used to like me to whip him and call him Wubby. And now he's a congressman.
 * Carl: Do you still whip him?
 * Veronica: Ah, I retired years ago. Leather underwear is not too good for my lady parts.
 * Carl: Would you ever think about coming out of retirement?
 * Veronica: Never.
 * Carl: Even if it meant giving an underprivileged South Side kid a chance at achieving his dream?
 * Veronica: S&M is not like riding a bike, Carl. You can't just strap on a pair of stilettos, pop a ball gag in someone's mouth, and start to whipping them. That is not how you ride a bike.
 * Carl: I mean, that's okay. Who's gonna let a poor South Side kid become an officer, anyway? I'll just enlist, embrace the suck, retire an old, disabled, sad alcoholic. Maybe they'll let me teach high school ROTC from my wheelchair if I'm lucky.

 * Rabbi: I'm the rabbi. What's the question?
 * Ian: If a religion or a movement makes the world a better place, does it matter if it goes in a different direction than originally intended?
 * Rabbi: Well, you pretty much just summed up every religion. A better question might be "What is God's will?"
 * Ian: That's exactly what I want to know. Does God speak to you?
 * Rabbi: I pray to God, yeah, but in the Jewish faith, we believe that the five books of the Torah are the word of God.
 * Ian: Kind of like the Bible.
 * Rabbi: Mm, just the first part.
 * Ian: Yeah, I read it. So... God did speak to someone?
 * Rabbi: To Moses, and Moses... [Clicks tongue] wrote it down.
 * Ian: But he spoke to him, with words?
 * Rabbi: Mm-hm, but only to Moses.
 * Ian: No one else, ever?
 * Rabbi: Not with words. He did set a bush on fire once.
 * Ian: What is it with religions and setting things on fire?

 * Lip: I think you're on the wrong side of history on this one.
 * Frank: Oh, I know Mo probably isn't gonna win.
 * Lip: Probably?
 * Frank: But democracy's about fighting for what you believe is right. And rounding up as much campaign contribution cash as possible. Mo isn't taking money from lobbyists and corporate elites. Only small donations from the local citizenry.
 * Lip: 'Cause nobody with any sense would want to support a pedophile.
 * Frank: Au contraire, fruit of my loins. No less a luminary than the president of these United States supported a candidate of questionable sexual history in regard to the chasing of underage tail.

 * Kevin: V, when I watch with the girls, we don't criticize Ryder and his team. We just laugh and enjoy it.
 * Veronica: I've got something else you can enjoy. [Sexually moves on him]
 * Kevin: See ya, Paw Patrol. [Clicks off TV] Let's work off these donuts. I ate a lot of crullers.
 * Veronica: Mm-hmm. [Someone knocks on door] Who is that?
 * Kevin: Probably a Gallagher. Or a Jehovah. I'll get rid of them. [Opens door] Sister Frances.
 * Sister Frances: Good morning.
 * Kevin: Good mor- please, won't you come in?
 * Sister Frances: Good morning. Have a- have a seat. Amy brought this in for show-and-tell today. [Produces a dildo]
 * Kevin: That's weird. I wonder where she got it from.
 * Sister Frances: The children were supposed to bring in something that represents their parents' love for each other. Most brought in hearts or pictures of their siblings. Amy brought this.
 * Kevin: I'm so sorry. It'll never happen again. [Sister Frances attempts to turn it off] It's double-click. [She clicks it twice to turn it off]
 * Sister Frances: In order for Amy to return back to school on Monday, Father D'Amico has requested that you come to his office today and speak with him.
 * Kevin: You're gonna kick her out because of this?
 * Sister Frances: We would love to speak with the priest.
 * Kevin: My wife and I just need to say our morning prayers, and then we'll meet you at the rectory. I can take that- or you can keep it as a parting gift. Thank you, Sister Frances, for coming. [Sees her to door]

 * Baxter: Hey, good for you!
 * Frank: [Starts moving around furniture] And by my calculations, she should be finishing up her 72 hours today. So my son and I are just gonna hunker down until she gets released.
 * Baxter: Wait, this is Liam?!
 * Frank: Yep!
 * Baxter: Wow. Last time I saw you, you must have been two years old, just talking up a storm!
 * Liam: Oh, yeah?
 * Baxter: Yeah. Hey, listen. I remember your mom's face just always lit up every time she saw you when she got released from here.
 * Liam: Sure it wasn't the Thorazine?

 * [He runs down emergency stairs meeting her in lobby walking after her]
 * Lip: Hi. Thought I lost you. Um. Uh, hey, could you wait up? I- I'm- I'm supposed to- to be with you.
 * Jen: My sober companion, yeah, I know, I got it. I'm just going for a little walk. I-
 * Lip: [They're walking across bridge over Chicago river] Hey, you could slow down a little bit?
 * Jen: You seem like a nice kid. I just- I just need some space, all right?
 * Lip: Yeah, I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
 * Jen: Actually, it's a great idea. See, this is like a mini-vacation for me.
 * Lip: Mm-hm.
 * Jen: Got no work, no husband, no screaming kids. No one knows I'm in town, so I'm- I'm anonymous here. Yeah, I'm- I just- I just- I need some alone time.
 * Lip: I'm concerned you might drink.
 * Jen: Don't be concerned, bunny.
 * Lip: Look, does that mean you are gonna drink, or you're not gonna drink?
 * Jen: It means if I do drink, everything's gonna be okay.
 * Lip: You've got a meeting tomorrow.
 * Jen: Yeah, in like 20 hours.
 * Lip: Yeah, a lot can happen in that time.
 * Jen: A few drinks is not gonna kill me. I- I'll be back at the hotel by mid-afternoon. I'll chug a gallon of Evian; I'll eat a pizza; hit the steam room; get a great night's sleep, and be as good as new for my meeting. Really, it's no big whoop. No one will know.
 * Lip: I will.
 * Jen: Aren't you a sweet Boy Scout?
 * Lip: [Jentakes off runnning] No- [After tripping over trash can that Jen knocked over and answering phone] Hey, Barney. Yeah, no, everything's good. No, yeah, she's still sleeping. Okay. Talk to you later. Bye. [Catches up to Jenin park knocking her to ground and gets on top of her] Stop!
 * Jen: Oh, my God!
 * Lip: Hey, look, I'm sorry! Are you okay?! You gave me no choice!
 * Jen: Get off me!
 * Lip: Not until you promise you're not gonna drink! Look, I'm not getting off you until you promise!
 * Jen: No!
 * Lip: This is my job!
 * Jen: To sit on top of me?!
 * Lip: To make sure you don't drink!
 * Jen: Oh, my God, I told you, it's no big deal!
 * Lip: Yes, it is! All right? Don't fuck up this gig for me! My brother's going to prison tomorrow! I need the money for his commissary account!
 * Jen: Are you trying to play on my emotions?!
 * Lip: Is it working?!
 * Jen: No, because I don't have any!
 * Lip: All right, well, then, suck it up until Barney gets back at 5:00, all right?! He can deal with you!
 * Jen: What am I supposed to do if I'm not drinking?! Just sit in the hotel room all day, watching SpectraVision?!
 * Lip: Uh, we could hang out here in the park! It's a beautiful day out!
 * Jen: You are such a sap!
 * Lip: Look, just relax, all right?! Enjoy, and take it one moment at a time, all right?!
 * Jen: Oh, jeez, AA crap! All right, fine. We'll just hang out in this stupid park!
 * Lip: All right! Okay! Now I'm gonna get off you, but I swear, if you run, I will tackle the fuck out of you!
 * Jen: You are so dramatic!
 * Lip: Hey, look who's talking, commercial actress chick!
 * Jen: I'll have you know, I have done 17 films and 4 TV shows!

 * Frank: Is that my Jen?!
 * Liam: No, it's just some crazy dude. What's so special about this chick we're waiting for, anyway?
 * Frank: Well, son, it's a great gift in this life to know what you're good at. And, uh, I'm good at crazy. I'm a caretaker to it. Makes me feel needed. It's how I felt with your mother. Plus, it's never boring. Look at this. [Takes off shoe and sock showing burn scar on foot sole]
 * Liam: What the hell is that?
 * Frank: [Laughs] Monica. I was asleep. Decided she was gonna light me on fire, one body part at a time.
 * Liam: Why?
 * Frank: Hard to say with a crazy person. That's the thrill. You never know what you're gonna get, moment to moment. Thankfully, she passed out before she could torch the rest of my body. I'd given up trying to find excitement like that again, till now. I'm gonna get some more of those, um, fudge stripes, and then I'll tell you about the time Monica shattered my kneecap with a pool cue. It was the best sex of my life.

 * Jen: That cloud up there looks like a martini glass.
 * Lip: Nah, it's clearly a beer funnel. When did you start drinking?
 * Jen: Nine? Maybe earlier. I was 12. We had a beer keg tapped in our backyard at all times.
 * Lip: Grow up in a fraternity? You ever try and stop?
 * Jen: Course. Life's hard. Booze is my only escape.
 * Lip: Why'd you hire a sober companion, then?
 * Jen: I didn't. Highland Cosmetics did after the incident, where we're doing this Christmas commercial in the fall, and I was riding a horse through Central Park, and I fell off.
 * Lip: Drunk?
 * Jen: I was plastered. [Laughs] Course, the horse got spooked and took off, and guess what I did? [scoffs] Start chasing after him.
 * Lip: Sure.
 * Jen: I was wearing high heels and this snow angel thing. Yeah. I almost caught it, and I promise you, I could've, had I not puked.
 * Lip: Sure.
 * Jen: I'm surprised you didn't see it. It was all over the Internet. You didn't see the gif?

 * Max: Yeah, what's up? Late for a thing.
 * Fiona: I need to get out of our deal.
 * Max: What?
 * Fiona: Another opportunity came up, and I'm short on cash.
 * Max: What other opportunity? Is it something I want to invest in?
 * Fiona: I'm not allowed to say, but I gotta act fast.
 * Max: Are you kidding me? You bullied your way onto my project, and I can't get in on yours?
 * Fiona: I'm sorry. My hands are tied. So how can I get my money out of the Sunset Brook project?
 * Max: You can't. I mean, it's been invested. And the paperwork's already been filed on the partnership, so... Well, I wasn't expecting a 12-month delay on the senior center.
 * Fiona: None of us were.
 * Max: So what's the other thing? You getting a better return? Is that, uh-- is that why you want to bail?
 * Fiona: Something like that.
 * Max: Jesus. You know, I thought we had a good business thing going here. I scratch your back, you scratch mine. See how you are, Gallagher. [Softly laughs] All right, don't forget my 25K. [He drives away and Fiona mouths; "fuck"]

 * Father D'Amico: So we have a little sex toy obsession, do we?
 * Kevin: Obsession?! No, no, I would-- I wouldn't say that at all. It's actually the only sex toy we have, Father.
 * Father D'Amico: Well, I'm sure you would both agree that exposing Amy to this kind of depravity is not in her best interest.
 * Veronica: With all due respect, Father, we're not exposing our daughter to any depravity.
 * Father D'Amico: Need I remind you that your daughter brought a massive, veiny, vibrating dildo into preschool? Now, you may be asking yourselves how a pious man like myself could have such carnal knowledge of sexual fetishes and addictions.
 * Veronica: Yeah, no, we weren't asking that.
 * Kevin: I'm actually kind of curious, yeah?
 * Father D'Amico: Well, prior to serving God, I was in the United States Navy. You have no idea what loneliness is until you're trapped out at sea, away from home for months at a time. I was at a low point in my life as our ship pulled into Subic Bay. Little did I know that my life was about to spiral downward. As we disembarked from our ship, my fellow seamen and I were greeted by the warm smiles of the Subic Bay women. Let me tell you, a hug from a Subic Bay woman can take away all your loneliness, especially from one woman, named Ming-hang. Of course, I had to pay for her companionship, but what's a few pesos when you're treated like a king for an hour? Or in my case, a few hours, which turned into days, which turned into weeks, and then, eventually, my going AWOL, and being served a military warrant for my arrest.

 * Lip: Is this $22 for a grilled cheese?
 * Jen: Who cares? Get what you want I'm gonna splurge and get the Cobb salad. Final answer.
 * Lip: Oh, salad's splurging?
 * Jen: It has creamy dressing. [Laughs] Oh. So what qualifies you to be a sober companion?
 * Lip: I don't know, really. I mean, I've never done it before.
 * Jen: Um. Barney trusts me, I guess, and I know how a drunk thinks.
 * Waiter: Here we go. Virgin Bloody Mary.
 * Jen: Are you positive it's virgin?
 * Waiter: It's absolutely, 100%, a virgin. Uh, and Coke for the gentleman. Let me put this tray down. I'll be right back to take your order.
 * Jen: Kay. This is, like, an entire salad on my glass.
 * Lip: Oh, yeah. Guess they have to make up for it being a virgin.
 * Jen: [Lips throws glass on ground] Oh, my God.
 * Lip: Hey, you told Fred the waiter that a virgin meant to make it a double when I was in the bathroom.
 * Jen: Fuck, I miss Barney. [Gets up from table and walks off]
 * Lip: Sh... Jesus Christ. [Lip takes after Jen]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Father D'Amico: Anyway, at first, Ming-hang and I just talked and made love. Then she introduced me to something called the Hot Carl. Do you know what the Hot Carl is?
 * Kevin: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 * Veronica: We got it.
 * Father D'Amico: That quickly led to the Dirty Sanchez, and then the gorilla mask. It got to the point where I couldn't orgasm unless I was doing the Alabama Hot Pocket. Oh, that's when you defecate--
 * Sister Frances: Nope, Father. Too far.
 * Veronica: Oh, you're gonna stop him now?
 * Father D'Amico: Anyway, the next time you reach for that dildo, or that butt plug, or that ball gag, you remember me, an innocent seaman just trying to serve his country while getting choked out to the point of asphyxiation by a Subic Bay woman named... [Inhales] Ming-hang.
 * Kevin: Father, our penance.
 * Father D'Amico: Oh, yes, right. Um, say four Hail Marys and six Our Fathers.
 * Kevin: Thank you.

 * Kelly: Me too.

 * Kelly: Come on, tell the story.
 * Ian: All right, so he's five or six years old--
 * Lip: Wait- wait- wait, is this the penis or the cat story?
 * Ian: Penis.
 * Carl: Shit.
 * Ian: And he thought pee was stored in his scrotum.
 * Kelly: No.
 * Lip: But he called it his... [With Ian] Bubble gum.
 * Carl: Yeah. 'Cause it looks like bubble gum.
 * Ian: He took a screwdriver...
 * Kelly both Jen: No!
 * Carl: Yeah. Yep.

 * Carl: I thought I'd save some time, bypass the penis.
 * Jen: [Laughs] Creative.
 * Carl: See? I'm a genius. Yeah, you're a genius.
 * Jen: Did pee come out?
 * Carl: It smelled like pee.
 * Jen: Oh, God.

 * Frank: Uh... maybe it's time for us to get some shuteye.
 * Ingrid: Oh, no, no, no, no. I c- I can't abandon my project. That is a fool's game. Winners finish projects.
 * Frank: Honey, do you feel all right?

 * Fiona: Yeah, going down like the f*cking Titanic.
 * Max: Oh. You got anybody you can call? Uncle, mom, something?
 * Fiona: Nobody in my life has that kind of money. That's why I'm selling this place.
 * Max: Even if I could, you just... you're not gonna clear large in a couple days. Come on, buyer will need to do due diligence and inspections and probably try to back out at the end of escrow, try to fuck you with a lowball offer last-minute. I mean, you're not gonna have cash in hand for at least days. Who's your listing agent?
 * Fiona: [Laughs] I can't afford you, Max.
 * Max: Maybe I waive my commission for you.

 * Max: Well, if you had the time, you could probably get $425K for it.
 * Fiona: That's what I was thinking.

 * Fiona: I've got two. One is...
 * Max: What's the total?
 * Fiona: $292,000.
 * Max: All right. I'll give you $292,000 for it.
 * Fiona: Wait, you want to buy it?
 * Max: Yeah. I'll take it off your hands today, in cash, as is, no inspections, close in 30 days. Could pay off your mortgages and walk away. And I'll take care of the $25K you owe the partnership so you don't default, but... I'm gonna charge you interest on that.

 * Carl: Kelly, I'm tired.
 * Kelly: Okay, what's been difficult about your life? Just ballpark. Was growing up on the South Side rough?

 * Kelly: Because I want my boyfriend to be West Point, Cadet.
 * Carl: Wait, I'm your boyfriend? Gross.
 * Kelly: Yes. So this is called the Adverse Childhood Experience Study. All you have to do is answer yes or no, and you get a point for every fucked-up thing that you've lived through.
 * Carl: Okay.
 * Kelly: Before your 18th birthday, did a parent or other adult in the household often or very often swear at you, insult you, put you down, or humiliate you?
 * Carl: Yes.
 * Kelly: Oh, which one?
 * Carl: All four.
 * Kelly: That's four points, Carl. Finally, a test he does well on. Uh, before your 18th birthday, did you live with anyone who was a problem drinker, alcoholic, or used street drugs?
 * Carl: Yes. Also, I abused and sold street drugs myself.
 * Kelly: Wow. Okay, great. That's two points. Uh, before your 18th birthday, was a biological parent ever lost to you through divorce, abandonment, or death?
 * Carl: Yeah, all three.

 * Farhad: No, it's a joke. You think Muslims don't believe in electricity? So they gonna turn the power back on or what?
 * Debbie: Yeah, once I pay them $800 plus a reactivation fee plus a past due charge. Fuckers. That's extortion.
 * Farhad: Yeah, no shit. Would you like me to send a suicide bomber?
 * Debbie: Sweet of you to offer, but no, thanks. I think I'll just pay it.
 * Farhad: Suit yourself.

 * Lip: Yo, yo, yo. All right. I'm gonna tell you something. But when I tell you, don't look, all right?
 * Tami: Okay.
 * Lip: This guy has maybe the biggest dick I've ever seen.
 * Tami: How do you know?
 * Lip: It's bulging through his pants. It's like a fucking balloon animal. Don't look, though. Don't look.
 * Tami: Whoa.
 * Realtor: You like?
 * Lip: Dude. No way that's real.
 * Tami: It's real.
 * Lip: Bullshit.
 * Tami: You seriously walk around with a giant rubber dildo in your pants?
 * Lip: [Grabs Tami's hand and starts pulling her out of the room] Come on. We gotta go. I can't live here, all right?
 * Realtor: If you don't believe me...
 * Lip: Hey, no, we believe you, man. We believe you, okay?
 * Tami: That's not real. It's not.
 * Lip: Either way, I don't want that guy fixing my sink.

 * Dawn: That was quick.
 * Frank: Here's the thing. That material, as you call it, is subpar. It's from the '70s. It's on videotape, for Christ's sake. The women have pubic hair. I feel like I'm watching my parents have sex. It actually made me sad. So needless to say, my cup is empty, as is my desire. Do you have anything else? Something... from the early '90s? Some Nina Hartley? Racquel Darrian, perhaps?
 * Dawn: Sorry.
 * Frank: What about crazy? You got any videos of crazy people having sex?
 * Dawn: No, sir. That's all we have.
 * Frank: Okay. Work with me here. What about my girlfriend? Could I bring Ingrid in to help me bust a-a collection?
 * Dawn: That would be fine, but you both need to thoroughly, thoroughly wash and rinse your hands. And saliva and/or lubricant are prohibited, as they will pollute the sample.
 * Frank: Fine. Thank you, Dawn. I'm off to Spunkytown.

 * Frank: Hey, could I talk to you upstairs? I'll be right back.
 * Carl: All right, what do you want, Frank?
 * Frank: Kelly seems nice. A little sad.
 * Carl: Yeah, well, she's not sad.
 * Frank: No, no, no, no, no, no. I recognize that vacant stare. I've known a lot of women, Carl. And that woman is not getting what she wants in bed.
 * Carl: Shut up, Frank.
 * Frank: You know what it is. She wants sex. Ten times a day. Not fucking snack time. Act like a Gallagher, for the love of God.
 * Carl: Okay, I can have sex anytime, anywhere.
 * Frank: Oh, bullshit. I got 20 bucks that says you can't go in that bathroom...
 * Carl: That's a hundred.
 * Frank: Holy crap. Well, 20 of it says you can't go in that bathroom right now and rub one out in under three minutes. I'm trying to help you. If that woman downstairs yells, "Jump," you better answer, "How hard?"
 * Carl: Make it a hundred.
 * Frank: No. The bet's 20. No, wait. Fine. Fine. Fine. Okay. Fine. It's all right. Jesus Christ. A hundred.
 * Carl: [Frank hands him cup] What the fuck is that?
 * Frank: I gotta have proof. You want me to come in there with you and watch? Under three minutes. No lube, no saliva.
 * Carl: [Takes cup] No problem.
 * Frank: Hey, Carl. Remember the time we walked in on Aunt Ginger and saw her tits?
 * Carl: Hey, Frank. Shut the fuck up.
 * Frank: Were they something? Been watching this thing on the, uh, nature channel about hippopotamuses, their balls... All right, all right. That's just cheating. Their dicks are about two feet long. Sorta pink. Slimy pink things. Big bulbous head on it.

 * Debbie: [Pulls open curtains and turns off water] We need our money back.
 * Fiona: What the fuck?! What money?!
 * Debbie: We've been giving you money for utilities that have not been getting paid. We need that money back.
 * Fiona: [Sighs] Fine. Jesus! [Close curtains and turns water on]
 * Debbie: The bills are under my name now. That water you're using? We're paying for that. [Fiona scoffs] So, until you repay us what we've been paying you for the last three months, plus your share of rent for the last three months, plus what it cost for me to get shit turned back on, I don't really feel like sharing my water with you.
 * Fiona: Yeah, I'll tell you what... you take everything that I owe you from the last three months and subtract it from everything that you owe me for the last years. And when I've used all of the water that I am entitled to some time in, I don't know, then we can talk about who's even. [Shuts curtain and turns water on]
 * Liam: [Lip appears in jogging attire] What are you wearing?
 * Lip: Oh, Tami's mom died of cancer, so her family does a five-K thing every year.
 * Liam: You look sort of ridiculous.
 * Lip: Everybody looks ridiculous in running shorts.
 * Fiona: Debbie! Turn my water on!
 * Lip: Hey, did you turn the water off on her?
 * Debbie: Yep.
 * Lip: Deb, she carried us for years... You can give her a break. Turn the water back on!
 * Debbie: Once you pay us what you owe us.
 * Fiona: I'm gonna get it to you. I just lost track... [Ford pounds on front door]
 * Debbie: You owe Carl, Lip, and I; $832.
 * Fiona: You don't see Carl going up to my shower, turning my water off!
 * [Ford continues poundings on front door]
 * Lip: Stop. Guys!
 * Lip: The door! Debbie!
 * Fiona: If you had the month I had, you would have lost track, too.
 * Debbie: [Mockingly] Ooh, my Irish boyfriend left me.
 * Lip: Stop it!
 * Fiona: Go take a flying fuck on a rolling doughnut!
 * Debbie: What?!
 * Fiona: Go take a rolling fuck on a flying doughnut!
 * Ford: [Lets himself in house] Hello? I come in peace.
 * Fiona: Oh, fuck, no.
 * [Debbie grabs a knife and walks to Ford]
 * Ford: I just want my tools back.
 * Fiona: What tools?
 * Ford: My carpenter tools. They're missing.
 * Fiona: Well, why would I know about that?
 * Ford: Come on, Fiona.
 * Fiona: What, you think I just wandered on to your site and picked them up out of your truck or something?
 * Ford: Maybe.
 * Fiona: Or maybe I came into your house in the middle of the night and I watched you sleep for an hour and then I just took them on my way out.
 * Ford: [Scoffs softly] Do you have them or not?
 * Fiona: No. [Laughs] You egotistical fuck! I haven't thought about you in weeks!
 * Debbie: We thought about you, though.
 * Ford: Guess I'll be going, then.
 * Fiona: [Ford walks to his truck and Fiona follows] Yeah. Damn straight you'll be going, 'cause next time, I won't stop them from beating the shit out of you!
 * Ford: If my tools happen to turn up, let me know. That's how I make my living.
 * Fiona: Oh, if they "happen to"... fuck you!
 * Fiona: Oh, if they "happen to"... fuck you!

 * Jolene: Are you saying our biggest client is asking us to sell something that is undrinkable?
 * Ryan: Yeah, we're in advertising. That's what we do. Dax?
 * Dax: Globally, three groups testing semi-positively in taste tests... Uh, Siberians, the Dalit caste of India, and the American hobo.
 * Joe: [Sighs] You mean... literal homeless people.
 * Ryan: Well, general indigents.
 * Dax: [Grunts] These were all taken on the South Side. Homeless people, hookers, transients.
 * Jolene: Bachman's not going to turn a profit selling to those people.
 * Dax: No, no, no. But- but if we use them as influencers, we can crack the Millennial market wide open. They identify as poor or as victims of a society that doesn't care about them.
 * Ryan: Thing is, they're not poor. They just don't have the money they think they're entitled to, and we think we can capitalize on their complete lack of perspective.
 * Dax: They're self-proclaimed hobos. We're simply offering them the chance to prove it.
 * Joe: [Chuckles] "Hobo Loco"?
 * Dax: Bachman Alcohol re-branded as the nectar of the bona fide hobo.
 * Jolene: I don't hate it.
 * Ryan: We need to build our campaign around the search of a spokesperson. No advertisements, no media bias, just Millennial word of mouth. Authenticity is key. The "hoboiest" of all hobos... [Changes slide to a shadow figure with a red question mark] the Hobo Loco Man.
 * Jolene: "Hobo Loco Man".

 * Carl: What if I don't want to go to Annapolis? What if I'm sick of working so hard? What if... I just want to stay here and eat Fritos with your family and watch TV and enjoy life for once?

 * Fiona: I'm sorry. I had no idea who that guy was. I-I didn't...
 * Lip: Who the fuck did you think that was?! He's wearing a tie and he's got a fucking clipboard.
 * Fiona: I was asleep! I'm not a fucking mind reader. Why didn't you tell me they were coming?
 * Lip: Why didn't I tell you?
 * Fiona: Yes. Maybe if I'd known DCFS was dropping by...
 * Lip: Jesus Christ. Do you have any idea how much you fucked this up for me?
 * Fiona: This is not my fault. I did not invite DCFS here.
 * Lip: Hey, hey, shh.
 * Fiona: I did not leave a... a furnace in the house...
 * Lip: Hey, hey, hey!
 * Fiona: ...Or kids in a Pack 'n Play, or an open hole in the fucking floor.
 * Lip: No, but you sure as shit didn't help, Fiona. The old Fiona would've handled this, would've spun shit, would've covered for me.
 * Fiona: What was I supposed to do, huh? Bake him a fucking cake?
 * Lip: No, but I expected you to not be drunk in the middle of the day. How about that, huh?
 * Fiona: [Laughs derisively] Maybe I'm tired of playing Susie fucking Sunshine all the time, huh? Think of that? 'Cause if I want to be drunk in the middle of the fucking day, that is my fucking business!

 * Debbie: Putting peanut butter on a Ritz.
 * Carl: No, with Kelly. Why you trying to get with her?
 * Debbie: What?
 * Carl: Stop fronting.
 * Debbie: I'm not fronting. Her and I just get along good.
 * Carl: Aren't I supposed to get along well with my brother's girlfriend if she's awesome?
 * Debbie: No, she's my awesome, not your awesome.
 * Carl: She's not a lesbian, dumb-ass.
 * Debbie: Exactly. She's not gay. Although she is the kind of girl who could come out later in life. I'm not getting total gay vibes, but it's inconclusive, so... I'd say yeah, she'll probably eventually end up gay.
 * Carl: Just knock it off. I mean it.
 * Debbie: There's nothing going on between me and your girlfriend. Keep your blouse on, Carl.

 * Debbie: What's that?
 * Lip: It's Fiona's shit.
 * Debbie: Why is Fiona's shit in trash bags?
 * Lip: 'Cause I told her to leave and she's still here. Thought I'd give her a hand.
 * Debbie: 'Cause of Xan?
 * Lip: Yeah, 'cause of Xan and Jason and all the other fucking things. Okay. Look, I'll see you later, all right? I gotta catch Tami before work.
 * Debbie: You guys get into a fight or something?
 * Lip: No, she, uh... she's pregnant.
 * Debbie: Holy shit. She gonna keep it?
 * Lip: Uh, I have no idea.
 * Debbie: That'd be so cool. Franny could have a little cousin.
 * Lip: Yeah, look, I don't know. I just found out yesterday, Debs, so I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do.
 * Debbie: You guys could all live here. Tami and I can take turns babysitting.
 * Lip: Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm sorry I mentioned it. [To Franny] You want a cousin, right? Uncle Lip's baby.

 * Lori: [To Carl] Buccaneer Biscuits selling like crazy. Adding fried clams to the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was a great idea.
 * Carl: Yeah? Thanks.
 * Lori: Just a fry guy with big ideas who wants to serve his country. You ever read The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell?
 * Carl: Uh, no.
 * Lori: Buccaneer Biscuits, tipping point. Trust me, you're gonna go places.
 * K.J.: I sell weed out the back.
 * Lori: I know you do, KJ, and I appreciate your desire for a better life. But Carl here, he's helping us sell shit inside the store, okay? [Pats K.J.'s back and follows Carl] You know, they used to call this place Mr. Bob's. They started calling it Captain Bob's when they added seafood to the menu. Now it's all seafood.

 * Veronica: He had a vasectomy, little swelling.
 * Kevin: Little swelling? My ball's the size of a grapefruit, V.
 * Kermit: Why didn't V just tie her tubes? Old-school, piece of cake.
 * Veronica: Okay, I'm right here. I'll take this one. Do you even know what you're saying? A vasectomy is like this, really, on one ball, and it's already on the outside of your body. My shit is on the inside. They have to cut into my stomach twice, pull my tubes out of my body, rope 'em off, and then put 'em back inside me. I should slap your face.

 * Kevin: No shit, Frank. That's why we're all sitting here in the dark.
 * Frank: Is the beer still cold?
 * Veronica: Not really.
 * Frank: Sounds great. I'll take one. What are you doing here? What are you doing here?
 * Fiona: I got fired.
 * Frank: Well, congratulations. You apply for unemployment yet? My advice is, do it in person. If you do it online, they'll pretend they never got the application.
 * Fiona: Got it.
 * Frank: Well, welcome to the ranks of the unemployed.
 * Fiona: Yeah, I'm fine with it. I mean, fuck them. Being broke sucks, though.
 * Frank: Ah, you get used to it. You just gotta be creative.
 * Fiona: Buy me a beer?
 * Frank: [Laughs] That's funny. You know, life is not all sunshine and rainbows for me either, kiddo. Ingrid left me. Took all my children with her. I'm still here. My unborn children. I don't think I'll ever get over it. V, a shit of Jame-o, please.

 * Veronica: What? God damn it. Oh, we're screwed.
 * Kevin:: I'll be back.
 * Veronica: Where is he going?
 * Frank: [To Fiona] If you need a little walking-around money, you should hang out with me today.
 * Fiona: Why would I do that?
 * Frank: Because of a little something I like to call "monetizing my neighbors' lack of foresight."
 * Fiona: You mean rippin' people off.
 * Frank: Completely legit. No one prepares for blackouts around here, so they rush to the store for ice or batteries or what have you. Too late, everything's sold out. Panic ensues, and where there's panic, there's money to be made. That's where I come in. Frank's Blackout Supply has everything you need.
 * Fiona: So you gouge 'em.
 * Frank: Really? How's the view from up there, Miss High and Mighty? Last time I checked, we were in the same freakin' bar drinking warm beer together.
 * Fiona: Fair point. Do I charge a little more?
 * Frank: Yes. Double. The peace of mind of a candle or fresh batteries, priceless. So you in or out?
 * Fiona: No, thanks.
 * Frank: Aw, come on. I could use a pretty face. It legitimizes the whole thing.
 * Fiona: What's in it for me?
 * Frank: After I recoup my cost, 20 percent.
 * Fiona: Seventy.
 * Frank: Jesus Ch... Who's gouging now?
 * Fiona: Thirty.
 * Frank: Fifty percent, final offer.
 * Fiona: No one's gonna buy anything from you, Frank. You're Frank.

 * Lip: Mollies... A few personal items... And acid.
 * Fiona: Is that why you didn't want to call an ambulance?
 * Mr. Tamietti: Uh, who the hell is that?
 * Debbie: Our dad.
 * Mr. Tamietti: Why doesn't he want an ambulance?
 * Debbie: Because the paramedics would've emptied his pockets, found the drugs, and called the cops.
 * Carl: Uh, you know, Mr. Tamietti, why don't we go get a cup of coffee or something, yeah? [Leads Mr. Tamietti away]
 * Frank: I had an opportunity to invest some of my Ingrid severance money, and I took it.

 * Frank: Ah, come on, guys! You got any fentanyl in there? That'd take the edge off.

 * Frank: A bite block? [Laughs] What are you, the Marquis de Sade?
 * Quincy: Best I can do after last time.

 * Lip: No.
 * Brad: This afternoon. Asked Cami to go, but she's working until 6:00.

We'll have your ass on that plane and back to Crap-sanistan as soon as the president revokes your H- B visa.
 * Fiona: More bees with honey, Frank.
 * Frank: This is nothing but torture and payback. You signed a Hippocratic Oath, for fuck's sake. Doctors have been convicted of war crimes for what you're doing to me. How did this happen, anyway?! I was taking a brief nap in that sh*thole you used to own, and they started tearing it down around me!
 * Fiona: My apartment building?!
 * Frank: I woke up with a... a wrecking ball trying to decapitate me! I had to run for my life. I should sue the bastards!
 * Fiona: You were drunk, trespassing, and sleeping in a boarded-up building, okay?! I don't think a lawsuit is likely to go your way.
 * Frank: Never know. They may settle to avoid a court case. [To Fiona] Hey! You got anything useful in there?! Eh, a Quaalude?! Maybe an oxy?!
 * Fiona: No.
 * Frank: Miss! Excuse me. I'm in quite a bit of, uh, discomfort with this open fracture. I know the doctors are incredibly busy, but could you ask one of them to prescribe something for the pain?! I don't need much! of morphine would be more than enough.

 * Debbie: Keep it up, Frank. You'll never see an Oxy again.
 * Frank: Not to mention, Fiona got Monica's stripper-on-a-bender, dangerous looks, not that it's made Fiona's life easier. Too much pretty can really mess you up.
