Lip, Ian and others in “Unfinished Business”

Lip

[before flashback scenes] Fuck you guys want?

Ian

It's the recap shit.

Lip

What, you guys miss last week's episode?

Ian

Eh, we should probably show it to 'em.

Lip

I guess. Go.

Lip

Um... The fuck you doing?

Ian

Waiting.

Lip

Waiting for what?

Ian

Shim.

Frank

[Arrives with Mo White campaign signs] Good morning, my indigenous South Siders! Don't mind me. Just showing our support for a better tomorrow. [Starts planting a sign on the lawn]

Lip

Huh?

Ian

Hi.

Lip

W-what's a "shim"?

Ian

Shim. God. But God doesn't have a gender, or maybe it's both genders, so she, him--Shim. Mother-father God.

Lip

And you're waiting for Shim to...

Ian

Talk to me. Tell me what to do next.

Lip

Does that happen a lot?

Ian

Used to all the time in jail, but since I've been out, nothing.

Frank

That's because it never happened. Shim, a higher power, the great I Am, Great Spirit-- call it whatever you want-- but it ain't talking to you.

Lip

And we weren't talking to you.

Frank

Enlightenment, or whatever these new-fangled hippy-dippy religions are selling, is a waste of time. Gay Jesus, Taoism, Scientology, Christian Science, Joel Osteen, Deepak Chopra-- It's like going to one of those flaky schools where the students create their own curriculum, then don't get graded on it. Religion isn't a startup, Ian. You want God to talk to you, you gotta stick with the classics: Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity. And if you break the rules, you burn in hell for all eternity. And there's your enlightenment. In the meantime, I shall be saving the South Side from the endless caravan of immigrants. [Walks away]
