Shameless · Season 1, Episode 15

Frank and Chuck in “Unfinished Business”

Adeeb's not joining us?

CChuck

I'm- I'm sorry to say no. Um... Mr. Singh was let go yesterday.

Chuck, if I may, this is not easy for me. Adeeb was a dear friend as well as a colleague. He took a chance on me. In a way, he gave me a new life.

CChuck

He was first rate, all right. So you can understand that... though I am flattered... and yes, ready to step into his place, I do it with a heavy heart.

I'd thought it would be a while before I replaced him.

CChuck

Frank... you have the wrong idea.

Is that so? Well, if this is a... a move to corporate...

CChuck

I'm here to let you go, too.

What?

CChuck

Today is your last day.

I- I don't understand. I'm Employee of the Month. What did I do wrong?

CChuck

My gosh. Nothing. Nothing at all. You were the model employee. Corporate is shutting down the store. Half the stores in the country, actually. See, the Internet gutted us, like a... an alien popping out of our stomachs and eating our brains. I'm working my way across the country like the Angel of Death. And once I finish burying Spokane, there'll only be one man left to fire.

Who's that?

CChuck

Myself. I wish you luck, my friend.

Thank you, Chuck. But men like us... We land on our feet. We're diligent, dependable, honest. We got gumption, cando spirit. Temporary setback at best.

CChuck

Right.
