S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Frank is smoking drugs with a homeless man watching Steve and Debbie coaching Carl's junior gridiron football with Estefania on the phone]

Walked in on my mother and my sixth-grade teacher having sex once. That'll teach you not to play hooky. My mother's nipples were the size of sand dollars. She was on top, riding him. He's underneath, bucking like a horse who knows it's headed for the glue factory. She didn't even tell me to leave the room.

Tell Fiona you're coaching, Jimmy?

Don't you tell her everything for me?

Family first. Those of us with only one name find that easy to remember. Haven't told her about this, because I wasn't sure you were going to show up.

You know, I'm just trying to give back to the community, help some disadvantaged kids learn a great American sport.

EEstefania

[In Portuguese] He's said he's coaching football but no one is using their feet.

Yo. When do we get to tackle?

Soon. Take a knee. All right, boys. Football is all about who wants it more. When you tackle, aim low, hit hard! Who thinks they're man enough to take me down? Huh?

You don't have pads on.

We're just... we're doing a walk-through. Okay? [Carl tackles Steve to the ground] Clean hit. I like it. [All boys laugh]

Oh... [sighs] I wish I'd had a girl coach. I'd totally tap that.

HMHomeless man

Yeah. I love long hair.

No, no, no. The one with the little brunette pixieish cut. Like a 1963 brunette Mia Farrow. No titties, all ass. Just sit and spin her all night long. Heaven.

HMHomeless man

I- I think that's a dude.

I made a list of the top 50 stupidest things and all 50 were when I was drunk.

We've got nothing to be ashamed of.

What fucking world you live in?

You don't... I don't want you to...

What do you think? We're boyfriend and girlfriend here? You're nothing but a warm mouth to me.

School or out.

What.

My job is to keep this house going. Busting my ass for you. Working eight jobs, making meals, keeping everything straight! Your job is school. School or leave!

Sometimes when I see the word "hospice" on the screen, I pronounce it "ho-spice" in my head.

[To Frank] You haven't even claimed your mom's body from the morgue and you wanna tell me how to treat mine?

Hey! Some of us want to graduate and do something with our lives. So how about you all shut the fuck up and let me sleep?

Now I'm off to lead tiny testosterone animals to victory. Gonna warm em up and give 'em my best Friday Night Lights speech about hearts, eyes, or some shit.

Too many Gallaghers in the world already. Lip, now you? Instead of passing out rubbers at schools they should be passing them out at your house.

You know, there are a lot of kids who need a home.

Fucked up foster kids like me?

Exactly. We could build up our own army. Like Wesley Snipes. Take over the neighborhood.

[To Ian] Wipe off that fucking look on your face. A Gallagher looking down at me, I don't think so.

FPFather Pete

[Wheels in paralytic man] Sheila, Ruben.

Oh...

FPFather Pete

Got shot by his pimp, infection in his spine.

Ooh. Oh. Hi. Oh.

FPFather Pete

He can't hear you. Deaf since birth. That's why he started sucking a crack pipe. I'm proud to say young Ruben's come to see the Lord... does not accept excuses in exchange for first-class transportation upstairs. Heh. Been clean a year now.

Father, just a moment please?

FPFather Pete

Of course. He came to us three years ago during one of our... winter nights for the homeless.

Yeah.

FPFather Pete

Hung on a lot longer than any of us expected. Saints be praised.

No, that wasn't-

FPFather Pete

We just can't afford to keep him. State cutbacks. You'll receive $50 a clay for food and whatever else he needs... but let's just say I'm not going to be making any surprise visits. Heh, heh.

Father, I've... I've done a terrible thing. I don't recognize myself anymore. When I look in the mirror, it's like another person is staring back at me... and I'm just- I'm lost.

FPFather Pete

Your purpose in life was to build a happy family, and you achieved that. And now, your husband's passed and your daughter's ready to fly the nest. But you're still needed. This is your purpose now.

Hi, Ruben! I'm Sheila! Okay. Great. Yeah, this will be great. Hey, sweetheart, is everything okay?

...

Anthony Bourdain? Sanjay Gupta? Nancy Grace. There's gotta be a missing white girl somewhere. Aw, Ruben, I'm trying. No? You don't want TV, you don't eat. Do you have a wish? Before you go? Anything I can get you? Yeah? Oh. Oh, I don't- I'm not sure what you mean. Oh.

[Comes in with groceries] Milk. Eggs.

Aw...

Hey, bro. He can't hear you.

Is it getting cold out there?

I could use a shower.

That's not a good idea.

[Ruben starts signing to Jody] Hey, I- uh... Okay, I'll tell her. I spent the past few months learning baby sign language. He says he hates créme brulée. It gives him the runs.

Oh. I noticed that. Is there anything he does like? What do you wanna eat?

Know how to make cake? Strawberry shortcake.

Strawberry shortcake?

No, he says, "Fuck that. " Vanilla cake with a shitload of Grand Marnier. Hey, you need to watch your language, bro. Uh, there's one more thing before he kicks it. Uh... Want to fuck. Hey! Out of line, bro. That's a lady right there.

What'd he say?

He's sorry. He'll settle for something else.

Oh...

Whoa, you know Portuguese?

Yeah, it's like Italian. She says if you don't find Marco alive, she's gonna call her father. Hope you're not wed to your eyes or your tongue. Or your dick.

[To Fiona] So you know Monica spent all the squirrel-fund money? I wouldn't have even had the cash to bail her out... if I didn't return a bunch of dolls I found in Debbie's room. The first rule you learn in this house, you hide the goddamn money.

She seemed better.

Look at this place. The sofa is in the kitchen. For fuck's sake, she tried to get Ian to enlist.

She what?!

What did you think was gonna happen, Fiona?!

Thought it might be different this time.

Well, how'd that Kool-Aid taste going down?!

Where is she?! [Goes to bedroom to find Monica on bed totally paralyzed from guilt] You could've gotten Carl killed! You tried to get Ian into the Army?! You promised me! [Pulls off bed sheets] Get out of bed! Get out of bed, Mom!

...

MMarco

[In a cargo crate in a shipping terminal] Get me out of here! Please! Help! Help!
