Svetlana

Next time you miss Shameless, I cut off your testicles and feed it to homeless dog who lives behind Alibi. But today, you get free pass. I tell you. [Deliberately plops down drink in a sloppy manner spilling it to camera view]

Scenes with Svetlana 34

[Debbie is speaking to Mandy at Milkovich residence front door]

Ian's still missing. Have you heard from him?

[Mandy shakes head in a sorry-can't-help-you kind of way]

Nothing? Not even a call or a text?

Sorry. [Mandy's face seems to say "How naive are you? Can't you tell that I want you to go away?]

So you want to know how Lip's doing?

Not really. [Mandy's face says "I can't possibly care less about that douche]

He's in college.

[Mandy puts on a forced sarcastic smile] Good for him!

[Mandy's face then turns "God, seriously?" then slams door in Debbie's face then walks into kitchen with Mickey and a man going through stolen mail]

This is a bunch of bills, chink delivery menus and press-on-nail coupons. What mailboxes you robbing? Dearborn projects?

MSMan sitting at kitchen table beside Mickey

No, apartment complex over by Rush. There's an ATM card.

Congratulations. It has no fucking pin number. What are you gonna do, rob the same mailboxes every day until they send the pin? [Makes a look of absolute disgust to him]

[To Svetlana] Hey, you. This is all you made yesterday?

Svetlana

I give you everything.

All $220?

[Svetlana nods in a matter of factual way]

How many Johnsons did you squash?

Svetlana

17

That's, like, 12 bucks a wank! [To Mandy] Who was at the door?

Debbie Gallagher.

What'd she want?

She was looking for Ian. Seen him?

Why do you care?

I don't. Said Lip was doing good in college.

Svetlana

So you are Rainbow Boy now?

The fuck you do to your hair?

Svetlana

You wear pink sweaters and stink of man perfume now?

I look shitty in pink.

[Svetlana opens bathrobe to reveal a strap-on dildo]

What the fuck?

Svetlana

You like the penis, yes?

Not when there's tits directly above it.

Svetlana

You want it up in your poop place?

No, I don't-- I want you-- fucking-- I want you to put it away. Can you put that away? Put that fucking thing away, please? Thank you.

Svetlana

You love him?

Maybe. I don't know.

Svetlana

Because he has a real penis?

Yeah, I guess.

Svetlana

I hate the penis. Ugly fucking skin stick. Always trying to get in where it doesn't belong. You like boys. Maybe I like girls. No penis is staring at you, hoping to explode like sticky volcano. America-- it's land of choices, yes? Freedom to be me. Freedom to be you. McDonald's, Burger King on same block. You choose. One, both. Shit, maybe we go to Wendy's instead.

Hold-- you're a lesbian?

Svetlana

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Svetlana

Why you done with public pool? Someone shit in it?

No.

Svetlana

Someone shit on you?

Sort of. Can you teach me how it all works?

Svetlana

How what works?

How you make guys want you, and when they do, what do you actually do? I mean, I've seen porn, but I'm not sure I understand all the technicalities. And you're a professional, so I figure you're the best person to ask. And please don't accuse me of being retarded or a child, because I'm neither

What's up, babe?

What? What the... What happened to your head? Wh... what the fuck?

You have no idea how good this feels. We should shave our head every fucking summer. What? I-- Wait.

Okay. First of all, why was there a hooker's tit in my baby's mouth?

All right, with the hooker. It's Svetlana. And we ran out of formula, so we had to improvise.

You coulda called me. I would've brought you some formula. Or maybe she coulda went out and got some.

God didn't make formula, Veronica. God made boobs for a reason.

Hey. What's going-- Oh shit. Kev.

Hey, Fiona. Hey, V.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Debbie? What the fuck? Did you do this?

Svetlana

Know what? I think it's time for baby's nap. Okay, excuse me. Okay, bye-bye.

What happened to your hair?

If it was lice again, I could have washed it.

No, no, it was hot. And the kids were pulling on it.

I loved that hair. That-- that was my hair, Kev. I... How could you do this? How could he do this?

V, it's just hair. It'll grow back.

You fed our baby hooker's milk and you shaved your head.

Okay, okay, let's go, okay. We're just going to go. Let's go dance. Come on, let's go to the bar.

Who the fuck are you?

It's just a fucking haircut.

Keep telling yourself that. Come on, let's go. See you, Kev.

...

[Ian, Mickey and two friends are watching behind a door]

PPastor

Mandy, you sweet, sweet girl. It's still a sin of the flesh.

But God wants my mouth on you. He wants you to feel his love through me. Look away, Pastor. I don't want you to see me sinning. I don't want you to think less of me.

PPastor

But God granted you such beauty, Mandy.

But if you don't watch, then I can pretend I'm praying.

[A friend has taken Mandy's place and is fellating the pastor]

PPastor

[Moans in pleasure] Yes.

[Mickey, Ian and a friend are all filming and taking pictures, with camera lights flashing]

Really fast!

PPastor

What-- what is this?

That's a good one.

PPastor

Yes. Really fast. What are you doing?

Yes. Oh, I'm Tweeting. Facebook too. And done. So what are you going to tell the press, Pastor? That you thought you were getting blown by a teenage girl? Or by God himself?

PPastor

Oh, my God.

...

It's just a haircut. Why is everyone freaking out?

It's not just a haircut. It's you... you look like...

What? I look like a what?

Whoa, you look like a hooker.

You think?

That is not a compliment, Debbie.

From Carl?

Totally is. Hookers are hot.

See?

Debbie. You're a smart girl. What are you doing hanging out with whores?

I don't know. You're a smart girl. Why are you on probation for drugs?

Your friends still aren't talking to you?

What friends?

You know, your haircut actually looks pretty cute. But you're gonna have to take that makeup down by at least half.

Fine.

What are you doing right now? You want to come and see a band with me?

Yeah.

Svetlana

I call police.

The hell you will.

Svetlana

No, I call police because Crazy Carrot Boy took my baby.

You call the cops, I'm gonna tell them I said Ian could take the baby on a trip. Who do you think they're gonna believe, huh? Illegal Russian fucking hand-whore or card-carrying, apple pie-eating, "Born on the Fourth of July" American fucking citizen?

Svetlana

Pregnant hand-whore, who is also mother, they will believe.

BPBar patron

Where's my change?

Svetlana

In tip jar.

BPBar patron

I wasn't planning on tipping five bucks.

Svetlana

Exactly.

BPBar patron

What's her problem?

Well, her dad sold her into sexual slavery. Pretty much put her in a bad mood for life.

LLester

What's that accent, Polish?

It's Russian.

LLester

So she wasn't born here.

Sent over in a shipping crate.

LLester

You pay her under the table?

Shit, yeah. How do you think this place stays open?

LLester

Excuse me. I'm Officer Lester Hibbert from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Wait, what?

LLester

According to your boss, you came to this country illegally.

Svetlana

Nice.

I didn't know he was whatever he said.

LLester

I came here to unwind. You treated me like shit. And then you took my last five bucks. [Motions to a table] Now we're gonna have a conversation.

He's with Immigration?

I had no idea. I didn't see his badge.

[Comes down stairs to find Veronica and Svetlana asleep on couch] What's with the slumber party?

Oh. The babies awake?

Not yet. You didn't come to bed.

Oh, we were celebrating, and I fell asleep.

Celebrating what?

Svetlana

I get divorce. Woot woot!

The papers came through. Lana is single.

Svetlana

Mm!

Lana?

Svetlana

Yes, what V calls me.

What, you have a pet name for her?

It helps sell it.

Sell what?

Svetlana

Our loving dyke. [Svetlana grabs Veronica's breast with both laughing]

No. No, no, no, no, no. We dropped the whole marriage idea.

Svetlana

You drop.

I'm not talking to you. V, marriage is a sacred institution.

It's just for immigration.

You're talking about being married to another person.

You are.

Yeah, okay, so? But- look, you and I aren't married on paper, right? But that doesn't change how I feel.

Me neither. It's not a big deal.

Svetlana

Give blessing. Is least you can do.

Hey, you the one who outed her to the INS. Stop ganging up on me. There are other options besides marriage.

What? Immigration is gonna put her back on the next boat to Moscow.

I'll figure it out.

Svetlana

No time.

I'll fix it by the end of the day, okay? Just... no more pet names.

And then she picked up my babies, one on each hip, and she whispered into their ears and they both stopped crying immediately, and I was like, "Damn. This crazy Russian is magical." I knew then that I wanted her in my life forever.

LLester

And, Mrs. Fisher, when did you first realize you were in love with Mrs. Fisher?

Svetlana

Oh, first time I saw her. We were in bar where we work. This thing happened... [speaks Russian]. It's when your eyes, they climb onto your head. This happened to me.

LLester

Well, your individual interview answers line up for the most part and your joint interview has been shockingly credible. I've been at this job eight years. Never seen a setup quite like this.

So did we pass?

LLester

Well, I don't buy a word of it, but so far I don't have any evidence to the contrary. I'll review your documents, follow through with family and friends. I'll make a few more follow-up visits. Can't wait to see how far you ladies take this.

Kevin, family meeting!

Coming! Took a little longer to get ready!

Svetlana

Kevin!

[Comes down stairs wearing nothing but a stuffed pink elephant over crotch] Ready for our family meeting.

Svetlana

This is about family finances.

Mm.

Svetlana's been going over our bills and income from the bar.

Svetlana

Sit. Sit! We need to increase our revenues and improve our P&L immediately! You have no life insurance, 401ks, 529s, you have no balance sheet, no income or cash flow forecast! Our yield on gross revenues are shit!

I'm sorry, are- are we seriously not gonna have sex? 'Cause I kinda took a Viagra.

That's Kev.

Check it out, sister-wives!

We gonna ride around in that?!

Right? [Laughs] Whoo!

Svetlana

You know, my tits are smaller than this.

Our customers won't mind. Hey, pal. Uh, topless maids that actually clean. Pass it along.

Where are the kids?

Check it out! Custom-built! Are you ready for this?! What do you think?! Is that genius or what?! They love it! They can't... Look at 'em! Look at! They love it!

What's that smell?!

That's not coming from the van. [To man] Excuse me, sir. This is a legitimate business here. [Svetlana and the man start yelling at each other with the man slapping Svetlana who then headbutts him and they wrestle on the ground with Kevin and Veronica pulling them apart] I got... I got... shit! What the fuck is going on here?!

Svetlana

This is my father. He's staying with us for a while.

[Svetlana is hosing down her father with Kevin and Veronica watching]

Why is he covered in shit, Lana?

Svetlana

He rode into country hiding on cow freighter.

He can't stay with us.

He's covered in tattoos. Is that a penis fucking a skull?

Kev, he sold her into sex slavery.

Yeah, he can't stay with us.

Tell her.

Hey, Svet'. Yo. Uh, he can't stay with us.

Yeah, sorry, we discussed it, and we just don't think it's a good idea.

Svetlana

So, we live together. We love together. We even raise babies together. But this decision we do not make together?

She's right.

We're just worried about him being in the house with the babies.

Svetlana

Ah, he's good for babies. Sweet. He is also good behind bar. He solves bartender problem while we go out and do titty van business so we can save money for college for babies.

You want us to leave our bar with him? Does he even speak English?

Svetlana

English does not matter. Make drink. Take money. Hurt people who do not pay money. I grew up in his bar. Everything I know, I learn from this man.

I'll go get him some clothes.

Don't you dare leave.

...

I just want to know how long he's gonna stay.

Svetlana

He kept roof over my head and borscht in my bowl until I was ten years old, ready to work on corner. For this, I owe him. I also owe him the money he spent to smuggle me into country.

You owe him the money he paid smugglers so you could be a sex slave in America?

Svetlana

This is land of free, home of brave. And if he had not smuggled me, I would not have met you and become happy wedded thrupple bliss.

She's got a point.

Shut up, Kev!

I'm just saying, if I had a dad, I would forgive a lot too.

You know what...

Svetlana

Enough! We strip now. Pimp, watch babies.

[Kevin and Svetlana are hosing down mats]

I think we're actually starting to get along kind of.

Svetlana

Yeah. He's working on something for bar, to help. It's a surprise.

Oh, sweet. You know, I still can't believe he's the same dude that locked you in a closet and put a flour sack over your head.

Svetlana

It was potato sack. It's like my 12-year-old self made up my adult life, and my adult self was like, "Oh, yeah? I see your offer, and I raise you 20." [She wets her white shirt sans bra with nipples appearing to Kevin's excitement]

[Arrives] Hey. Is The Alibi hiring?

Who's asking?

Me. I need a job with child care.

Okay, A, you're underage. You can't even work in a bar. And, B, we don't have real employees. We got spouses and parents. And, C, I am at peak baby. Three, and I max out. See you inside.

Svetlana

Why you need job?

Fiona's gonna kick me out unless I can pull my weight.

Svetlana

Find husband. I have both husband and wife. I have someone to watch my son 24/7. I have job. I am kept woman. You want good life? Find someone to keep you.

I don't need to be kept. I'm a strong woman.

Svetlana

Don't be strong woman. Strong women weather storms. You want to be the storm.

How?

Svetlana

You find someone weak, stupid, and desperate. And you wear bras so your breasts levitate.

All right! I got this thing together. I'm gonna take these guys to the movies where it's nice and cool. Hellraiser II is playing. Toddlers love classic slasher flicks from the 1980s. Just kidding. We're gonna go see Dory for the eight millionth time so I can stab my eyes out with a fork.

...

Kev, I don't think we should let Yvon keep feeding the babies.

The Knife thing. I know.

That, and I don't like the way he looks at them.

How does he look at them?

Like he's trying to figure out how much they're worth.

That's insane. You know, you sound like an insane person. You know that, right?

Do I?

Yeah. You do. [Yvon appears] What's up? What's going on? Thumbs up. What's up there? The sky? Speak Russian at least. You want me to go upstairs? Oh, you want me to go... Okay, fine. I'll go upstairs. I'll be right back. We are not doing Tinder. Tinder is for hookups. And we don't want hookup. We want someone old-fashioned, someone who wants to keep a woman. But for what?

How are the books comin', Lana?

Svetlana

Ah, much better with reduced overhead. Now we just have to collect running tabs from regulars who don't pay.

Come on, fist bumps, kid. Fist bumps. Mommy, Mommy, and Daddy are makin' money.

Svetlana

Ha, breaking even. We are getting out of tax debt.

Can we claim each other's kids on our tax returns? We're married.

We got tax returns?!

Svetlana

We can claim as dependents, but we would have to do adoption.

Whose kids are we adopting?

She and I would adopt each others' since we're married.

Svetlana

We would save money on write-offs and become legitimate family.

Wait, wait, wait. So, V adopts Yevgeny. Svetlana adopts Amy and Gemma. Where does that leave me?

Svetlana

That leaves you big, sexy man in boxer shorts.

YYvon

[In Russian] Big stupid man needs a shower.

He either said, "I burnt your breakfast," or, "I f*cked up your eggs."

Svetlana

He said, "Good morning."

[Holds eggs up to eyes laughing to entertain children] Hey...
