Shameless · Season 1, Episode 15

Frank, Kevin and others in “Unfinished Business”

Barkeep, a beer and a glass of tomato juice, please.

Ha-ha! Hungover?

Of course, but that's not why. I tried to ignore the Milkovich hot spot, but yet again, science wins. Pretending a virus isn't real doesn't make it harmless.

Here's an idea. Why don't you talk to them?

We tried.

No, you tried to trick them. I'm saying talk to them. Listen to their concerns. Express your concerns. Have an actual conversation.

V, you act like these are human beings.

Well, nothing else has worked. It's worth a shot.

Oh, Jesus, I don't know what's more toxic, their filth or your optimism.

What's up with the fancy outfit? Parole hearing?

No. I like to look nice for men who have nothing better to do than sit in a bar all day. Alderman sent over a list of people who didn't vote in the last election, so I am going door-to-door to get them to the polls.

You can skip my house. I'll be here.

Black people. We need to get this rent control bill passed so Black people can afford to stay in the neighborhood. Tell them to stop paying rent.

That's what the Milkoviches do.

Where do people like that come from in the first place?

The South. Once they realized they had to start picking the cotton, they migrated to the Midwest to take part in our industrial economy.

No, the Milkovich clan came here from Poland after the Polish-Russian war. For some reason, when white people lose a war, they all move to Chicago.

All right, Frank. You ready?

Can't you do it?

No. Come on, we're a team.

Who've never won a game.

Exactly. That's why the Milkoviches will listen to us. We're relatable. We're not Jordan and Pippen. We're Tommy and Kermit.

I'm surprised they didn't ask you to coach the Bulls.

[Going out door] Come on.

Fine. Let's get this over with. [Finishes drink and walks after]
