" I'm raising five kids, and I didn't miss last week." "What's your excuse?" "Shut the fuck up!" "I need you to get a will notarized." " Will?" " Aunt ginger's." " A will's no good without a death certificate." " Yeah, we're gonna need a body too." " A real live body?" " Not live." " I'm here to file a will, please." " Ginger gallagher." "Second one today." "Supersedes yours." " Who the hell filed it?" "Cousin patrick." "Both:" "Are you out of your fucking mind?" " Kev is just gonna lie down with you for procreation." " Okay, let's get this going." " [laughs] - shh, knock it off, mama." " How many more times are we gonna have to do this?" " Until we complete the mission." " You guys look like you could use some help." " You can go home." " You know what?" "Have her stick around." "I got to hit the alibi in ten minutes anyway." " I'm good to stay." " Please just go home" "To your own fucking house for once." " You mind if I make one of these out to cash?" "Nothing big, just some walking around money." " Joint bank account is for immigration only." " Have a heart." "I'm tapped." " Mom." " Oh!" " Where is he, my baby?" " He's where he belongs for now," "And you're back where you belong." " Now, if I allow you to retain your parental rights," "Would you consent to your daughter becoming guardian?" " Works for me." " Would you agree to be the guardian of these children?" " Yes, I do."

"Then I thought, no," "I know where she was happiest." "On this corner, her corner," "Where she turned tricks in her 20s and 30s." " And 60s!" " She did magic tricks?" " No, no, no, son." ""turning tricks" is a euphemism for prostitution." "In her day, your great aunt was a legendary pole smoker." "Could unlock her jaw like a burmese python." " We are at her funeral."

"So ginger had a will that we didn't know about," "And you just had it sitting in a drawer?" " Yep." " And even though she hated your guts," "She left our house to you?" " It was never your house."

"Slap a coat of paint on it," "Call it "a cozy, authentic pre-war,"" "And offload it to yuppies." " Not gonna happen." "So let's go over our options." " I'll write them down." " All right, look, we know the will is bullshit." "It was signed a year ago," "And ginger's been dead for what, 10?" " More like 15." " Option one:" "Prove will is a forgery." " We can't call the cops because we faked ginger's death" "And forged a will of our own." " Plus frank's been cashing ginger's social security checks." " Oh, like you didn't share in that bounty?" " What we could do, we could argue" "That ginger wasn't of sound mind when she signed it." "I mean, she was never of sound mind anyway." " Option two:" "Say ginger was crazy." " Or convince patrick to back off somehow." " Yeah, that's three." " Good luck with that!" "His nickname used to be pit bull." "It was partly an odor thing," "But also because once he gets ahold of you, he doesn't let go." "You gotta kill him first." " Option four:" "Kill patrick." " It's time to face reality."

" Time to get out the "help wanted" ads." " How you holding up?" " You know what I want?" "Not to win the lottery or go on vacation to the caribbean." "I want normal people problems." "Like, am I getting enough fiber?" "Why did my friend say that insensitive thing" "About my weight?" " Well, it'll work out, it always does." " You realize only rich people say shit like that." " What's that supposed to mean?" " That we have no backup plan." "There's no running to mom and dad." " And that's what I do?" " I'm saying neither one of us has a job." "One week with me as their guardian," "One, they're about to be homeless." " Then we'll get jobs." "I mean, the gallaghers are survivors, right?" "We can do this." " We?" " You, me, we."

" The eiffel tower?" " Yeah, this guy said he'd take me to paris," "So I had this done." "But he took all my money" "And tried to sell me to a sheikh from yemen."

"I thought it might be a way for us to educate ourselves" "About hymie's needs." " Be grateful the kid's not here." " Butt out, frank!"

"Nice meeting you." " Oh, nice to meet you." "Thank you, frank." "Great job." " Never let it be said that frank gallagher" "Outstays his welcome." " Karen, look what they gave me when I offered to volunteer." "Pamphlets and buttons and a banner and t-shirts." "Why don't you come with me tomorrow?" "I'm gonna have a table outside the market." " No, thanks, mom." " Can I ask why not?" " Because they call themselves retard nation." "It's offensive." " No, we're--we're" "We're challenging society's preconceptions." " This is genius." ""I am a retard."" " Yeah, but read the back." " "and proud." I'm gonna need five of these." "A lot of retards at the alibi." " Frank, I'm not comfortable with how you're using that word." " Retard?" "You're saying it." " Yeah, but you don't have down's syndrome." " Neither do you." " I know, but my intent is to defend free speech" "And to further public awareness and end hate."

"Please drop liam at v's on your way to school." "Everyone else, grab a lunch and head out." "No truant gallaghers today." " You know, being guardian doesn't make you super-mom." " You noticed."

"Hey, I've got a surprise for you." "Why don't I grab it?" " What sort of surprise?" " You'll see!" " Hey." "You know your dog is dead, right?" " Taxidermy is a hobby of mine." " [sighs]" "So when you say rescue," "You mean bring them home and stuff them," "Because most people, when they used that word" " Meatball subs!" "Like you said, remember?" "Simple pleasures." "Living in the moment." " Sounds like something I would say." " You mentioned you're a bears fan." "There's no game on, but I've got last season's highlights." "You eat, I'll cue it up." "Want a blanket?" "It's kind of chilly." " I have a new respect for baristas." "It turns out it's a highly demanding craft." "Who knew?" "You just keep burning the shit out of your" "What's up?" " Tell him." " I killed patrick." " What?" " Option four:" "Kill patrick." "Why skip an option?" " The whole "life in prison" thing, sweetheart." " I realize you've had sketchy parental role models, okay?" "But as your newly appointed guardian," "Can we agree that offing people is not cool?" "Can we get on the same page with that?" " Yeah." " If this comes back to us," "If we get charged with homicide," "Do you realize how serious that is?" "What?" " Liam." " Oh, liam." " Oh, got him in time." " We need to come up with an explanation" "In case the cops tie this to us." "Like we have rats, and carl threw poison everywhere." " That works." " It does?" " Anyone who knows you will know it's not far-fetched." "Debbie, go get everyone, so we can get our story straight." " Okay." " I'm raising a sociopath." " I'm sure that your cousin went to the hospital," "So he'll probably live." "Hopefully." " Mandy, I thought that was you." " What the fuck you doing here?" " Re-enrolling." "So I know you're seeing lip," "But like I told him, I think it's great." " You talked to lip?" " I came by last Tuesday to say hi." "I didn't come inside." "Lip didn't want me inside" "Because, you know, he didn't want to upset you." " Why would I be upset?" " Oh, you wouldn't." "Forget it." "I just meant I'm happy for you guys." " Latte." "Wait till you try these pancakes." "Organic blueberries." " You're adjusting very well for an addict." " Thanks to you, sponsor." "If it weren't for you," "This place would be littered with whiskey bottles." " What was your drink of choice?" " Terry's." " Never heard of that." " Terry's, uh, malted whiskey." " You mean malt whiskey?" "Like single malt?" " Well, all kinds of malt." "Get up in the morning and drink a full keg of beer." "Man, was that bad." " A keg is 15 gallons." "I didn't know better," "I would think you're making stuff up." "Our relationship is based on honesty, christopher." " I tried to drink alcohol." "I just don't like the taste." " Jesus christ!" "You're not an alcoholic?" " Forgive me." " Well, then why go to a.A.?" "Why have me as your sponsor?" " Please, frank, please, don't move out." "Everything is going so good with us." "I won't lie to you again." "I promise." "I'll make us prime rib." " [groans]" " Last night of mom's ovulation cycle, thank god." "She just needs to screw kev and not enjoy it." "That's not unreasonable." " That's what every daughter wants from her mother." "What time is it?" " 3:15 and still no patrick." " We don't want him to come, do we?" " It's kind of a toss-up." " If he does show, the judge gives our house away." "If he doesn't, he's probably dead," "So we get to keep the house until we all go to prison." " The estate of ginger gallagher." " Here we go." " Guys." " [cough]" " What now?" "Start packing?" " Fiona said that you guys found a place to rent." "Did you take any photos?" "You're kidding." "You're serious." " You knew karen was in town, didn't you?" " I heard that, yeah." " You heard it." " I saw her." " Saw her or fucked her?" "If you've got a problem with me being here, just say so." "I don't want to be somewhere that I'm not wanted," "So man up, tell me." " I have a problem with you being here." "You act like we had a conversation," "Never happened." "That I said it was okay for you to leave your stuff here" "And show up uninvited, do my laundry, and act like my wife." "But we--we never had that conversation," "Did we?" "I never asked you to be here." " I don't fucking deserve this." " You found a new house for rent?" "That's great." " Landlord says it's ours if we want it." " New school?" " Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I never should have let this happen." "I'm so sorry." " I'm kind of sick of this place anyway." "Nice to have a change." "[coco jones's holla at the dj]" " [speaking portuguese]" " Hey." "Going out tonight with some medical school friends." "Totally upstanding citizens." "You wanna give me a ride?" " I'm not your chauffeur, man, I told you before." " "not your chauffeur," right." "So you'd rather me take the el train," "Make you get out of your car to follow me." " ♪ tell him turn it up" " Chicago and la salle." " ♪ tell him turn it up" "♪ holla at the dj, and tell him turn it up ♪" "♪" " Don't you look nice." " Yes, she does." " I brought some rose" "And some more candles and some cds." "You like d'angelo, kevie?" "You know, a little music to set the mood." " It's great you want to set the mood, mama." "It's just kev and I want to keep this straightforward," "More like a procedure." " As opposed to what?" " A date." " Excuse me?" "I'm not some whore who comes over in a raggedy t-shirt," "Has relations with your boyfriend, and leaves." "If we gonna do this," "We might as well get some ambiance up in here." "Otherwise, get some trashy thing" "Won't mind if you bend her over the kitchen table." " She didn't mean it like that, mama." " Is this happening or not?" "I want to hear my cd." "[knocking at door]" " Come in." "Oh." "Not who I was expecting." " That guy in new york, he, uh, he really take your money?" " Think I would lie about that?" " Well, why not?" "It'll make everyone feel bad for you, lower their guard." "Poor karen, back home with her tail between her legs." " That's right." "It's all an act." " You talk to mandy?" " Who?" "Oh, mandy, right." "Yeah, at school." "Kind of a skank, don't you think?" " So you dropped napalm on my relationship" "Without even getting your hands dirty." "Well, it's not like you lost your touch." " What do you want?" " Take your clothes off." "[horn honks]" " Hey!" "Hey!" "You think that t-shirt's funny?" " No." "No, it's--it's political." "It's actually pro-tard." " Yeah?" "Well, tell that to my sister." " Oh, shit." " Nice." " Ooh, that's it, baby, that's it." "Ooh, ooh, yeah." "Ooh." "Ooh, yeah." "Ooh, yeah, that's it." "Ooh, that's it." "Ooh, bring it home." "Bring it home, baby." "Ooh, yeah." "Ooh, ooh, ah." " Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" "Stop!" " You people want to have a baby, beautiful." "Find another way to do it." "I can't be working under these conditions." " All right, we'll call you." "[moaning]" " Karen, honey, can you come down?" " Don't stop." " I wasn't planning on it." " Karen, mrs." "Wong is here." "Oh, come on in." " Timmy saw you at the supermarket." " Oh, oh, that's just" "My volunteer work for hymie's sake." " You have to stop that shit." " [gasps] excuse me?" " Timmy saw you fight with that man." "He's embarrassed for you." " Well, I don't know if it's a cultural thing" "And you're not aware, but you're being rude right now." "Jody, can you help mrs." "Wong with the crib?" " You act crazy." "I can't leave the baby with you." " What about you trying to cure him with your chinese herbs?" "I mean, you need to accept him for who he is." " No more baby." " Let me know which car's yours." "I'll load it up for you." " She's hoarding hymie." " What?" " Okay, I won't volunteer anymore if that's what you want." " You promise?" " I promise." " I bring the baby tomorrow, but I stay to watch you." " Okay." " Blue impala." " Okay." " Your karen is right." "This is not a good place for baby." " Karen?" "My" "When did you talk to karen?" " What kind of a creep uses alcoholics anonymous" "To cater to his nefarious agenda?" "It is a slap in the face" "To everyone who attends the program." " Nice shirt, frank." "Not that we didn't know." "[laughter]" " So he doesn't need a sponsor." "But he lets you live there rent-free, and he's feeding you?" " It doesn't add up, does it?" " Well, if I were you, I'd make sure" "That he's not a rapist or a serial killer." "I mean, you said he's a loner, right?" "Super neat?" "I bet he's got hardwood floors." " So?" " Carpets get bloodstains." " What's he do for a living?" " He kills animals, occasionally stuffs them." " He what?" " It's called "animal control" in veterinary parlance." " It's called he's jeffrey fucking dahmer, dude." "Finds a guy no one will miss," "Gets them to move in with him, pumps them full of vet drugs." "He's gonna drill a hole in your head" "And turn you into his zombie sex slave." " Before we get carried away," "Christopher had a sponsor before me." "The guy moved to florida." " Oh, he moved to florida." "And who told you that, christopher?" " Christopher." " Be careful, frank." "You're gonna wake up" "And find your dick in a ziploc in his freezer."

" What's going on?" " I've got patrick gallagher outside with an eviction notice." " You're throwing us out?" "This was supposed to take a couple of weeks." " Normally." "The guy seems like an asshole." "I'm trying to chill him out," "But he's made a couple accusations." "He said you tried to kill him." " That's ridiculous." " He has a toxicology report from the hospital." "He says he won't press charges if you move out tonight." " He can't be serious." " He seems to be serious." " But patrick loves me." " Yeah, well, is there a place you can go?" " Tonight?" "No." " Patrick gave me candy." " Debs, go get lip and ian, please." " And then he got in bed with me" "And touched me in my nice places." " What was that?" " About candy or patrick touching me?" " Patrick gallagher?" " Mm-hmm." " And when you say "nice places"?" " Uh, private places." " Frank?" " Aw, fuck." " Frank?" "Frank." "Frank." "Frank." "Frank." " Aghh!" "Get away from me!" "These people are witnesses." " Where have you been?" "I've been looking all over for you." " What do you want?" " Are you all right?" "Have you had a relapse?" " Don't touch me." " I could be your sponsor." "I'm not a drinker," "But I've been to so many meetings, I know the procedure." " No!" "No, no, thank you." " I'm sorry if I freaked you out." "I'm not real good with, well, with people, really." "It was great having someone to talk to." " Get a room, assholes." " I'm sorry, frank." "See you around." " Wait, wait." "You're not gonna stuff me or drill a hole in my head?" " What?" " Your interest in me is not of a perverse or sexual nature?" " No, nothing like that." "I mean, if you're saying you want to have sex with me," "I guess I'd do my best." " What happened to your old sponsor?" " Either he's in florida," "Or he's avoiding me, thinks I'm creepy," "Being clingy and all, and lonely." " So basically the problem is you're clingy." "What's for dinner at your place?" " Rib eyes." " But we stop at the liquor store, and you're paying?" " Anything you want." " Let's go." " Really?" "You mean it?" " Oh, clingy is a walk in the park." "Here, have it." "[mutters indistinctly]" "I really like her." " Yeah?" " She's a poet." " Karen." " Oh, mom, you scared me." " You told me you came home to be with hymie," "But you told the wongs to come take hymie." "Why would you do that?" " I missed you, mom." " So it's true." " Everything was better before hymie came along," "Just you and me." "I wanted us back." "I love you." " You're shitting me." " Standard police procedure, sir." "We'll have to meet the sex crimes detectives" "At the station, unless-- - unless what?" " The charges are dropped." " Charges are--?" " 400 a month rent, no deposit." " Are you in on this?" " I'm not in on anything, sir." "I am, however, gonna make a radio call from the car." " You can take your 400 and shove it up your ass." " I remember your hands touching me and-  $1,200." " You said it was our little secret." "I knew it was wrong." " Jesus, what-- 900, final offer." " 500, no deposit." "I need a 50-year lease, and I want that in writing." " [groans]" " Hey, check it out, left a poison sandwich" "In the crawl space." " Don't." " No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." "Ugh, too late." " Why the outpouring of affection?" " We didn't lose the house." " I was molested." "It all worked out." " What?" " We can stay." " I put your toothbrush back in the cup." " Want an eye mask?" "Curtains let a lot of light in." " Thanks." " Night, frank." " Good night, christopher." " I'm going to bed, babe." " All right, I'll be up in a second." "[text alert]" " Who's that?" " Carol." " My mother?" "My mother is texting you at 1:30 in the fucking morning?" " Shit, that's not funny, is it?" "I'm just playing." "It's kate calling in sick for her shift tomorrow." "I'm sorry, baby."
