Shameless · Season 1, Episode 15

Lip and Brad in “Unfinished Business”

All right, so he tells me to piss off.

You told me to piss off first time I met you.

No, I didn't.

Right, you just accused me of wanting to suck your dick.

Look, he's... he's covered in puke, passed out, facedown on his broken arms, and I clean him up. Right? Which is way more than I've ever done for my prick of a father. So why am I feeling guilty that I'm not over there wiping his ass for him?

Well, maybe it's because he wiped your ass for you when you needed it.

Fuck that, he just wrote a check.

Yeah, with money that he worked hard to earn and didn't owe you. You... you know what you haven't been since your old professor ran his car into a house, though?

What?

Depressed. Know why? 'Cause fixing a fellow human's even better than fixing a bike. And by the way, it's how we stay sober... by being of service, and by wiping asses when they need wiping. And by helping other drunks get what we got. [Sighs] You... y... you think I like listening to your shit? [Scoffs] I don't.

No?

No. 'Cause I'm a self-centered prick like you, but... when I listen to your shit, I feel better.

So, it's a selfish thing.

Yeah, now you're getting it.

[Answers phone] Gimme a sec, be right there.
