I would hope so. We've started you on Prednisone to decrease the inflammation in your liver, also Lasix to bring down your fluid levels. You were quite jaundiced when you arrived. Have you been taking your antirejection meds as prescribed?

My bitch of a newfound daughter hasn't been giving them to me.
NNurse
Your daughter has been keeping your medications away from you?
Frank
No, but she was supposed to make sure I take them.
NNurse
Mr. Gallagher, you are a 51-year-old man with a new liver transplant. You should be able to take responsibility for your own medications, unless you're mentally incapacitated. Are you mentally incapacitated?
Frank
Mentally incapacitated?
NNurse
Retarded. Are you retarded, Frank?
Frank
No.
NNurse
Then get your shit together.

However, we did find traces of cocaine, marijuana, and opiates. If I were to hazard a guess, my money would be on Oxycontin. If I were to hazard a guess, my money would be on Oxycontin.

Great stuff. The guy who invented it should be on the Nobel short list.
Because, Chuckie, fatherhood comes with responsibilities that go far beyond shooting sperm into a V hole. And I have decided it's time to teach your grandfather those responsibilities, because, clearly, he never learned them.

Frank
No, he won't. There's nothing to be gained by killing a perfectly good corner boy. And it's not your fault that they came with drug dogs. That's the luck of the draw. G-Dogg will understand that.
God, where were you with all that carpe diem crap when I was in my 20s?
Frank
