Shameless · Season 1, Episode 15

Ian and Buddhist monk in “Unfinished Business”

Look, I've never been to a Buddhist temple before. I need Shim to talk to me. Uh, God. To talk to me. Any tips?

BMBuddhist monk

Repeat. I'm here to learn.

"I'm here to learn."

BMBuddhist monk

I take refuge in the Buddha.

"I take refuge in the Buddha."

BMBuddhist monk

Until I attain enlightenment.

"Until I attain enlightenment." Quick question. Once I attain enlightenment, then will Shim talk to me? 'Cause they did for a while. But then, suddenly, it stopped. So did Shim stop talking to me, or did I stop hearing Shim?

...

Okay, uh, rough estimate, how long does it normally take?

BMBuddhist monk

For Buddha, it took one night.

Well, that's not that bad.

BMBuddhist monk

After ages and lives of meditation.

Right, okay. I don't have that kind of time. I'm sorry. Uh, namaste.
