So when you moving to Milwaukee?

Lip

I don't know.

You don't sound very excited about it.

Lip

Yeah, well... it is Milwaukee. Free house, though, right? Yeah, I mean, it's a nice house. Nice neighborhood. Yard. Well, damn. Jackpot. Saw an actual birdhouse with birds in it. Uh, not drսg. Birds.

Morning.

So, how's your dad? You know, don't think he's gonna be my best man.

Lip

Hey, what's up, punk? Ready for school?

Can't go to school until Frank signs a form.

Lip

What form?

That says I live here.

Just drop out. I can't drop out. I'm ten.

Lip

Give it to me. I'll sign it.

Gotta be a parent.

Lip

I can fake Frank's signature.

So can I.

Same here.

School says that he has to sign it in person.

Well, you know where Frank is?

Living with some lady up in Glencoe. He drives a Rolls Royce.

Lip

Unbelievable!

Oh, good for him. Anyone want to go with me?

LILip, Ian and Mickey

No.

Mickey's the bride?

Nope. Groom.

So you're the bride.

No. Also a groom.

Who's wearing the white tux?

Mickey.

Take your meds yet?

Yes.

Gonna be a stressful day.

Got it.

You picking those up?

Yeah.

Frank walking you down the aisle?

Grooms, remember?

Is he coming?

God, I hope not.

He's in Glencoe.

Great. I hope he stays there.

Lip

Hey. I gotta go out for a bit. You take your meds yet? It's gonna be a stressful day.

Yes. First thing.

Lip

All right. Hey, we gotta meet at the Bamboo Lotus at two for photos.

Okay. Got it.

Hey, how much did these tuxes cost?

Um, Mickey rented them at some fancy place downtown.

Lip

Where's Mickey getting all the money for this?

Savings, he says.

[Scoffs] "Savings"?

FMFlashback Mickey

[Bursts into a room full of underwear-clad women in a drug operation] On the floor, mοthеrfսckеr!

I don't really wanna know.

Father Pete marrying you?

Father Pete's Catholic. Pope won't let him marry gay people.

But Father Pete's gay. Lives in the rectory with the organist with the nipple ring.

Wait. The organist at Saint Sebastian's got a nipple ring?

Reverend Sally's doing the ceremony. She's Episcopalian. They'll marry anybody.

[Referring to shoes Liam is holding] Yeah, those are nice, right?

Mm-hmm. [Mickey and Ian kiss]

[Lip and Tami are woken up by Freddie]

Lip

Oh, no, no. Let him cry. He's teething. [Tami groans] The hell does he need teeth for anyway?

I don't know. [Groans]

Lip

We could drug him.

Break up a downer or something.

Lip

Frank used to rub whiskey on our gums. [Tami laughs] Then he'd dump us in the tub.

Without water, I hope.

Lip

Not always.

[Sighs] I think I'm gonna die. [Lip laughs] Can you die from lack of sleep? Oh, my God. Okay. [Gets up and pats Lip's leg] I'll get him. You start coffee.

[Knocking on bedroom doors] My birthday! Wake up! Wake up! I'm five!

Lip

[Franny comes down stairs] Hey, hey. Look who it is. The birthday girl.

[Sniffles, sighs] Presents?

Lip

Oh, no, no. It's not like Christmas, Franny. You're gonna get your presents tonight at your party. Oh. Hey. [Picks up Franny and carries her to kitchen] Come on. Let's go make some breakfast, huh? Whoof! Go sit! Yo, what up?

Why'd you guys sleep here last night?

Lip

Oh, the fumes at our new place from resurfacing the bathtub.

Good morning, Franny. Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Lip

These up for grabs?

No, don't touch.

Lip

Why?

I'm gonna sell them for cheap to the lunch debt kids.

Lip

What's a lunch debt kid?

Kids who run out of money on their food account. Can't eat the hot lunch till they pay up.

Lip

Is that even legal? Don't public schools have to feed the kids?

Yeah, but the lunch lady serves them gross shit like stale bread, government cheese, chunky pudding.

Lip

So you're capitalizing on the misfortunes of others by selling them your peanut butter sandwiches?

The American way. See you.

Hey, there's my sweet birthday princess! Who is five today?!

Me!

You?! [Tickles her] Ah!

I don't know! She looks like a big girl. Did you grow overnight? Are you sure you're not 15?

I am! I am!

Yeah, I knew you were.

Are you excited for your princess party?

I hate princesses!

What?! No, you don't!

I'm with Frans on this one.

Hey, hey, hey, birthday Franny. Hey, look what I got you from work. They let us keep stuff if it's past its expiration date. There's so much stuff that just gets thrown away into a dumpster.

Oh, great job, man. Free old cereal.

[Carl comes in door] 5-0!

Lip

Oh, fuck, it's the cops!

Hey, I'm unarmed! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Ha, ha, ha, very funny, assholes. Now, if you'll excuse me, Imma go load these bad boys up with armor-piercing rounds so I can keep the mean streets safe for fuck-heads like you guys. Watch out, Chicago! You're going down!

Oh, my God! Again with the back splatter?

Lip

Backsplash.

[Scoffs] So, um... any interest in brunch?

Lip

[Sighs] Are we brunch people now?

An old teacher of mine invited us.

Lip

[Grunts] You're friends with an old teacher?

Uh, Mr. Hanisian. He just moved back from St. Louis.

Lip

I don't know. Wasting the rest of the morning eating pastries with some old dude who taught you, what, pre-algebra? History? Creative writing?

Music.

Lip

Oh. Great, maybe he can teach us how to play "Hot Cross Buns" on the recorder.

So is that a no?

Lip

Brunch is a scam. You know that, right? Marketers literally just made up a fourth meal, and we're all supposed to go along with it?

Okay. Well, he really wanted to meet you, but I'll just tell him that you're too big of an asshole to come. [Walks away]

[Lip and Brad are breaking into their motorcycle repair shop with Mickey]

Fuck! Darker than Satan's asshole in here.

Lip

All right, Imma hit parts. Mick, grab some bikes, and, uh, Brad, office.

Wait, why are you using real names?

Lip

Hey, relax, we're gonna take the security camera.

And what- what if they bugged the place?

Hey, Mission Impossible, less talking, more stealing. What the fuck is this shit?

Hey, hey, three grand in the safe.

Lip

Yo, hey, hey. Fuck that one. It's a piece of shit. Grab some chrome pipes and carburetors, parts room.

Shit feels expensive. It's heavy.

Lip

[Mickey drops objects smashing it] Hey, what the fuck you doing?!

Making it look like Mexicans broke in!

Fucking freezing in here. Why'd you get a refrigerated truck?

Lip

'Cause, Brad, there's not a lot of options last-minute.

Where we fencing this shit?

Lip

I don't know. Out of state, probably.

Wait, you haven't lined up a fence yet?

Lip

No.

Great fucking plan, Lip. Which one of you geniuses came up with it?

Lip

Well, it was a group effort: me, Brad, couple of six-packs.

Couple of s- You off the wagon again?

Lip

Yeah, just one night.

"Just one night", isn't that what every alcoholic says?

DDetainee

Psst! You wanna watch me jerk off?

Lip

Thanks, but fuck no. [Police sergeant enters] Hey, you got any updates on what's goin' on?

PSPolice sergeant

When the detectives are ready for you, they'll let ya know.

Lip

All right, could I get a sandwich or somethin'?

PSPolice sergeant

Legally don't gotta provide any food, 'cause legally you're not under arrest.

Lip

All right, so legally, I can just go.

PSPolice sergeant

Sure, but you try to leave, they probably will arrest you and bring you right back in. [Lip exhales]

DDetainee

Psst!

Lip

See, I was at home with my lady and my kid. All right? She'll vouch for me. The kid, he can't talk yet, but if he could, he'd say Daddy was home all night.

MMale detective

[Tosses binder on table] We have your juvenile arrest records, okay? So you can drop the choir boy act.

Lip

No, you see, tha- that's the old me, all right? I'm reformed now. I'm sober, even. You know, I'm not sayin' I'm a saint but, uh, I'm a family man, makin' an honest living.

FFemale detective

Okay, asshole, we know that you were involved with the robbery, so you can either cooperate, or we can make you cooperate.

Lip

All right, first of all, if you knew I was involved in the robbery, I'd be in cuffs right now, and second of all, I am cooperating. What am I doing if I'm not cooperating?

MMale detective

Look, make it easy on yourself. Tell us where the bikes are, who helped you, and maybe we can recommend you avoid doin' real time.

Lip

Hey, can I go? [Gets up and leaves interrogation room]

Lip

What the fuck?! Who fixed the drywall?

I don't know.

What's the problem?

Someone fixed the drywall. [Scoffs] Not it.

So that means we're not selling the house, right?

Lip

Did you do this?

Did I repair the damage that some dumbfuck did to my kitchen? Yeah.

Lip

What's your problem?

My problem? You're the one who's mentally unstable.

Lip

What, 'cause I want to sell the house?

Yes! It's driving all of us crazy. I mean, Liam, am I right?

For real. Are we selling the house or not?

No, we're not!

Lip

Yes!

This is why I haven't pooped in three days.

Yeah, and I had sex with a gay guy. And now I probably have AIDS. So thanks a lot, Lip.

Lip

How is it my fault that you had sex with a gay guy?

...

We are not selling the house.

Lip

We are selling the house, all right?! Everybody got that?! No more conversations, no more bullshit, we're selling the fuckin' house! Let's go.

You don't have AIDS.

It was unprotected sex.

Still probably don't have AIDS. Everybody's on PrEP.

Well, I'm sure I have something.

Well, syphilis, maybe. Gonorrhea. Lots of that going around.

Oh, my God.

Ah, relax. That's like saying you walked on the beach and you have sand between your toes. Should probably hit a clinic, though.

Really?

Yeah.

Lip

Hey.

You stay up all night again?

Lip

Indeed, I have, Officer.

Yeah, I'm an officer, but what does that even mean? All I see is lazy cops who do nothing or hard-ass cops who don't give a shit about the community. It's like I don't wanna be either one of those, so what's the point?

Lip

What?

Nothing. Never mind.

Lip

No, no. Look, I'm sorry, man, I do, I wanna listen to you, but could we do it another time? My brain can't switch gears right now.

[Walks away] That's fine.

[Comes down stairs] Jesus... loud! Early!

Lip

Yeah, well, I gotta try and get this finished.

[Entire cast is sitting on door steps of Gallagher residence]

We’re not doing this, telling you what happened on Shameless last week anymore. We’re sick of it.

Lip

Yeah, we quit.

It’s over.

Just not doin’ it.

It insults your intelligence.

They don’t pay us enough.

What, they pay you guys for this?

[They all turn heads to Kevin] Yeah. You don’t get paid?

Are you kidding?

Of course.

Well, fuck me! [They all snicker]

[Ian pulse checks an unresponsive Frank on the couch] Is he dead?

Faint pulse. Hypoxic.

High what?

Barely breathing.

What’s that smell?

Grampy went tinkle in his pants.

Ugh, damn it. Not on the new couch.

[Walks up] Hey, what’s goin’ on?

Frank OD’d again.

How much heroin did he do?

Wow.

Oh. And he’s not dead?

Lip

Yet another disadvantage to decades of copious narcotics use.

Should we, like, call the paramedics or something?

Lip

No, he’s done this before a bunch of times.

He may be trying to kill himself. He’s been depressed. The dementia’s getting bad.

Hand me that syringe. [Ian hands her one and she pricks Frank's hand]

AAll

Ugh!

Sheesh.

Unresponsive to pain.

Stroke?

Or he’s already brain-dead. That happens with overdoses.

I guess it’s up to us to finish him off. Quick so*t to the head, dump his body in the lake. I don’t think anybody’s gonna miss him. What? We’d just be helpin’ Mr. Fuckup finish the job.

HHeidi

You could pillow him. That’s what my dad did to my grandpa so we could sell his double-wide. Couldn’t afford his oxygen refills anymore.

Who is that?

Lip

Debbie’s got a new friend.

HHeidi

Hey, you check his pockets, see if he got any money on him?

Trust me, he doesn’t.
