"It's just me." "(EXHALES) Come on." " Lights on or off?" "Off, please." " So have you done this before?" "Um..." "Yeah." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "Me, too." "So, uh..." "how do you want to do it?" "Um, however you've done it before." "Okay, or we could do it how you've done it before." "I'm gonna take my shirt off now." "Cool." "I'm sorry." "What's wrong?" "I can't do this." "I can't do this." "That's okay." "I think I already did." "Sorry I didn't come get you after your tests." "I had the accident." "When you never came back, I thought maybe you turned out to be like all the other men in my life." "Not a chance." " How's the pain?" "It's okay." "Now that I'm here with you." "Did they schedule the transplant?" "I'll have the money soon as Liberty Mutual cuts the check." "Um..." "Good news and bad news." "(CHUCKLING)" "Okay, good?" "I sent Chuckie to the neighbor's so we can be alone tonight." "Great." "Uh, what's the bad?" " We're not a match." "What?" "The transplant lady said my white blood cells attacked yours." " Why the fuck did they do that?" "Oh, I don't know." "I'm so sorry." " Sorry?" "What the hell does--?" "Good does that do me?" "I need a liver, not a goddamn apology." " Frank." "Do you know what I've been through?" "I shattered my leg in six places." "I stopped drinking." "I know you're disappointed" "Just one small piece of liver, that's all I need." "But no." "Thank you, God." "Thank you for the cosmic fuck you." " Even my own daughter isn't a match." "What?" "Anything else you wanna throw at me?" "How about a flesh-eating virus, huh?" "Wanna toss that in?" "What did you say?" " What?" "Your... daughter?" " I didn't say that." "Yes, you did." "No." "Oh, fuck it." "What's the use?" "Hate me now, hate me later, you all hate me eventually." "And for what?" "What did I ever do to you?" "You're my dad?" " I almost put you in my mouth." "I didn't ask you to do that." "You dry-humped my thigh for half an hour yesterday." "Dry-humping is not incest." " Shit." "Get out." "What are you yelling about?" "I'm the one not getting a liver." "(PROLONGED SCREAMING) Get out!" "Jesus." "God Almighty." "Okay." " Get out!" "Now!" "Now!" "Okay, okay, okay." "No, I'm going!" " All right." "Jesus!" "Jesus!" "Freak!" "Fucking sick!" "(SCREAMING)" "And stay out!" "(SPEAKING SPANISH)" "You guys all done?" "Muy bien." "Where did you dump the asbestos?" "You know what?" "Don't tell me." "It's better that I don't know."

"Yeah?" " You clean out that apartment yet?" "Yeah, just got it cleaned out." "I'm gonna set up some flyers and see if I can rent it out." "I know how you can make a boatload more." "Rent it by the hour." "Look, I got the labor force already." "All I need is clientele and a location." "You got both." "(DEBBIE SOBBING)" "Debbie?" "Hey." "What's going on?" "(LOCK CLICKS)" " Hey, you okay?" "(SOBBING)" "What's going on?" "Come on, open up." "Talk to me, please." " Hey, what's going on?" "My boyfriend." " I messed up." "How?" "You screwed up." "That just proves you're a Gallagher." "(SOBS, COUGHS)" "Let me let you in on a little secret." "I don't know what the hell I'm doing either." "Who doesn't know that?" "I just wish I could skip the part where I don't know the right thing to do and get to the part where I do." "Me, too." "Thank you." "Water?" "My kingdom for a lobe, amigo." "My kingdom for a lobe." "Didn't expect to see you again." "Do you know how many nights I laid awake, year after year wondering where you were, if you ever thought about me?" "Did you?" "Ever?" "No." "I will now, though." "I'm sorry." "I should've told you sooner." "I just didn't want to ruin what we had together." " Ow." "(BOTH CHUCKLING)" " Come on, buy me a fucking beer." "Hey, hey." "I need a beer for my daughter here." " I want a retest." "How long have you been out here?" "A couple of hours." "I didn't wanna miss you." "I wish you'd shown this concern for punctuality yesterday." "Is that your goal, to graduate students who can punch a clock?" "My goal is to graduate students who can manage the organizational demands of the real world." "Okay, listen, listen." "I understand all of the demands of the real world." "Okay, it's just the demands of this place that are taking me some time to figure out." "But I'm getting there." "I just need someone to say, "Fuck it." "This kid deserves a break."" "I take it that's me." " You got a blue book?" "Yeah." "Right here." " Pen?" "Yeah, I got three, just in case." "Then fuck it." "That's my high school graduation." " Nice mullet." "(CHUCKLING) Yeah."
