Cancer? How did I get cancer?
You must have caught it from Grammy, son.
If she had known that she had the contagious kind, I don't think she would've spent so much time with you in the basement, cooking meth.
Am I going to die?
I hope not. But right now we have to fight and fight hard. You ready to fight with me, Carl? [Starts buzzin Carl's hair]
Why do we have to shave it?
Didn't you ever see any shows about cancer? Cancer people are always bald.
Grammy wasn't bald.
Grammy hated life. She wanted to die, but you love life. And one of the most important ways you can fight the cancer is to let the sunrays in through your skull.
Why are you shaving Carl's head?
Lice.
Since when do you... parent?
Since you dropped the ball.
The vermin were literally jumping off his scalp.
Well, make sure you wash the sheets too, okay?
I look like a woman?
I have lice too?
Yes. Yes, you do.
Fiona's gonna freak out.
No, Fiona is not going to freak out, because Fiona is not going to know. You're a man now, Carl. The cancer makes you a man. And as a man, it's your job to keep secrets from the women who love you.
Jeez, I'm gonna look like a penis.
I'll get you a hat. I'll get you a hat.
