Shameless · Season 1, Episode 15

Frank, Civil servant 1 and others in “Unfinished Business”

Hi. I'm retiring. I'd like to start receiving my Social Security benefits.

CSCivil servant 1

Hmm. I'm sorry, Mr. Wessels. It says here you're already collecting your benefit.

What? How can that be? Are you suggesting someone has stolen my identity, committing fraud?

CSCivil servant 1

It's a possibility, yes.

Oh, my God.

...

I'm number nine. Sorry. I was in the bathroom. Prostate, you know. Size of a basketball. Hi. I'd like to start my benefits.

CSCivil servant 2

Um... Mr. Ramirez? It says here you're dead.

...

Uh, I'm-I'm number nine.

CSCivil servant 3

Hi.

Can you... tell me what my benefits would be if I were to retire right now?

CSCivil servant 3

Of course. Um, Mr. Gallagher, it says here you only worked six weeks your entire life.

Well... if you mean a "formal job", yes, but I... I've had various enterprises that contributed significantly to the economy.

CSCivil servant 3

Mm-hmm. Well, as it stands, this will be your monthly benefit.

Three dollars and 42 cents? Gee. That's not a lot, is it?

CSCivil servant 3

Sorry.

A guy works his whole life.
